Alkaline ash diet includes :

  • A.Fruits, vegetables and milk
  • B.Meat, egg, fish and poultry
  • C.Egg, milk, pulses
  • D.Meat, milk, cereals

Answer: A

An alkaline ash diet includes fruits, vegetables and milk.

When food is burned, the minerals left as ash are either base-forming (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium) or acid-forming (sulphur, phosphorus, chlorine). Fruits, vegetables and milk are rich in the base-forming minerals and leave an alkaline ash, even sour fruits whose organic acids are oxidised in the body.

Meat, egg, fish, poultry and cereals are rich in sulphur and phosphorus and leave an acid ash, so every option that includes them describes an acid ash diet. Pulses also lean towards acid ash.
