As a person who lives with only one mostly healthy kidney, my urologist warned me years ago to watch the amount of acidity in my diet as it could lead to kidney and urine tract infections. Maybe because of this I am more sensitive than most people but I find that I feel at my best when I eat a bunch of alkaline foods.
