Have you ever heard of Victoria Beckham’s alkaline diet?
Which she adopted from a cookbook called “Honestly Healthy” written by Natasha Corrett and Vicki Edgson.
To give you a quick background on this diet, it’s comparable to a vegan diet except that it’s more specific to alkaline-forming foods. So it requires sorting them into acid and alkaline. It’s not an all-or-nothing approach. You only need to stick to the 70/30 rule, where 70% should be alkaline-forming and 30% can be acid-forming. 
Also called the acid-ash diet, the alkaline diet revolves around the idea that our body’s normal pH is alkaline (7.36 to 7.44).
So, when we burn food to transform it into energy, some “ash” is left behind which can affect our blood pH. And when the blood pH is acidic or lower than normal, complications can arise.
However, there’s still some confusion in this area because the pH of our food cannot really change our blood pH, it only changes our urine pH.
But since it’s a diet that is mostly composed of vegetables and fruits and excludes carbonated drinks, refined sugars, and processed foods, followers of this diet have observed improvements in their overall health.
People have coined it as the “anti-aging diet” because it has made people’s skin more elastic, supple, and less inflamed.
So yes, it benefits our skin in many ways
