Nutrition for athletes: make it alkaline - A review by Loren Cordain, a professor in the Department of Health and Exercise Science at Colorado State, outlined the proven health benefits of a more basic diet; including preventing osteoporosis, kidney stones, high blood pressure, and most importantly to our population, muscle wasting (the loss of muscle). Though both fruits and vegetables improve the alkaline environment in your blood, the review showed a three to five times greater effect from vegetables compared to fruits, particularly green leafy varieties such as broccoli and spinach. Because of the lower caloric value of vegetables, the effects on your blood can also be more dramatic from an increased vegetable intake rather than fruits."-Mercury News
