The existence of an “alkaline diet” capable of improving bone health is a controversial topic (Frasseto et al., 2018). In a person with normal renal and respiratory function, diet does not significantly alter blood pH, although it can influence the net production of endogenous acid and the amount of acid the kidneys must eliminate. An acidifying diet can be defined as one whose metabolism generates a greater net production of non-volatile acids that must be neutralized and eliminated, primarily by the kidneys. This acid load arises mainly from three processes: the net release of protons from organic phosphate compounds, the oxidation of sulfur-containing amino acids to sulfates, and the endogenous formation of incompletely metabolized organic acids. Conversely, a more alkaline diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, for example, provides organic anions such as citrate and malate, which, once metabolized, generate bicarbonate and reduce the net acid load. This primarily alters renal acid excretion, which can lead to variations in urinary pH. However, blood pH remains tightly regulated.

ACID-BASE BALANCE AND pH Acid-base balance is essential for the proper functioning of the body. This is why blood pH always lies within a very narrow range, between approximately 7.35 and 7.45. The body produces acids, particularly during the metabolism of proteins, sulfur-containing amino acids, and other normal cellular processes. The kidneys are responsible for eliminating this acid load and regenerating bicarbonates, thus contributing to the maintenance of physiological blood pH. In cases of renal failure and the development of metabolic acidosis, H+ ions are neutralized by the mobilization of carbonates, phosphates, and calcium from bone minerals. This acidosis can promote protein catabolism, loss of muscle and bone mass, inflammation, and general metabolic deterioration. It is assumed that an acidic diet, rich in protein, phosphates, and other acidic nutrients, typical of the Western diet, would negatively impact bone health, while another diet, rich in alkaline components from vegetables, would mitigate this effect. However, these mechanisms associated with a state of metabolic acidosis do not correspond to the small variations induced by a typical diet in a healthy individual, given that the pH is maintained within a very narrow range.

ACIDITY AND CALCIUM LOSS

Furthermore, the existence of acute calcium losses in urine, associated with the consumption of foods high in protein or phosphorus, a higher acid load, or other dietary changes, has been considered evidence. However, these acute calcium losses do not necessarily imply a loss of bone calcium. Calciuria also depends on intestinal absorption, acute changes in renal filtration and reabsorption, and acute changes in the levels of hormones such as PTH, vitamin D, sodium, and other minerals. Therefore, increased urinary calcium excretion and subsequent calcium retention can occur without necessarily resulting in a negative body calcium balance. Indeed, diets rich in protein or phosphorus can increase calciuria while simultaneously enhancing intestinal calcium absorption, and from an epidemiological perspective, they may even be associated with higher bone density than diets lacking these elements, which do not cause such acute calcium losses. Protein, phosphorus, and sodium can increase certain components of acid load or calciuria, but this does not automatically lead to bone loss: protein provides amino acids to the extracellular matrix and muscles, increases IGF-1 levels, and can promote calcium absorption. Phosphorus, meanwhile, is essential for hydroxyapatite formation, and the sodium-induced increase in calciuria can activate compensatory mechanisms of calcium metabolism, including, in some studies, an increase in PTH, 1,25(OH)₂D, and intestinal calcium absorption. However, the extent and relevance of this compensation depend on the context, particularly calcium intake. The final effect therefore depends on the mineral and energy context, and more specifically on the availability of sufficient calcium. In cases of low calcium intake, a high sodium or protein load can make maintaining calcium balance more difficult, whereas with sufficient calcium intake, this same exposure may be neutral or even lead to improved bone mineral density. Consequently, acute changes in urinary pH, calciuria, or resorption markers should not be interpreted in isolation as bone deterioration, as the body adjusts intestinal absorption, PTH, vitamin D, renal function, and bone remodeling through various mechanisms.

ACIDITY AND ACID CHARGE OF FOOD

Other points can be confusing. The pH of a food does not determine its metabolic acid load. A lemon is acidic in the mouth and stomach, but its organic anions can be metabolized to produce bicarbonate. This is why fruits and vegetables often contribute to a lower renal acid load. Conversely, other foods can generate acid after they are metabolized, particularly through the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids and certain phosphorus compounds. Acid load refers to the amount of non-volatile acids the body produces through metabolism. Foods high in animal protein, some grains, and certain Western diets tend to generate a higher net acid load, while fruits and vegetables provide alkaline precursors. Animal proteins, especially due to their sulfur-containing amino acid content such as methionine and cysteine, tend to increase net acid production. Some grains also contribute to the acid load. On the other hand, fruits and vegetables contain organic anions such as citrate and malate which, once metabolized, can produce bicarbonate or alkaline equivalents.

DOES SUBCLINICAL ACIDOSIS EXIST?

Having outlined the main weaknesses of the model, subclinical acidosis could be more significant with age, which tends to acidify the blood to some extent, or in cases of even mild renal insufficiency, when the capacity to eliminate the acid load decreases without overt acidosis. With age, there is a slight tendency toward an increase in systemic acid load, with a rise in H+ ion concentration and a decrease in plasma bicarbonate. This has been interpreted as a very low-grade chronic metabolic acidosis, probably partly related to the decreased renal capacity to excrete acid (Frassetto, L., & Sebastian, A. 1996). Furthermore, studies in individuals with stage 1 to 3 chronic renal failure show that H+ ion retention tends to increase progressively with a decrease in glomerular filtration rate, before the onset of overt metabolic acidosis. Serum bicarbonate could therefore be a relatively late and imperfect marker of the entire phenomenon. Another question arises: can subclinical acidosis exist even in the presence of a healthy kidney? Furthermore, relatively low bicarbonate concentrations, even close to normal, have been associated with a decrease in bone mineral density.

BONE AS A BUFFER

Bone also contains significant amounts of carbonate. In response to proton overload, the dissolution of minerals, releasing bases and minerals, can contribute to the buffering effect. If this process, although small, continues over several years, its importance could be cumulative. Osteoclasts are specifically designed to function in an acidic environment: they themselves generate H⁺ ions to dissolve hydroxyapatite. Osteoclasts showed an approximately 6.7-fold increase in bone resorption activity when the pH decreased from 7.4 to 7.0, with rapid changes in their morphology and gene expression (Davies et al., 2025). This demonstrates that pH is a regulatory signal for osteoclasts, although this experimental pH represents a much larger variation than that observed in cases of subclinical acid retention. Nevertheless, osteoblasts and osteoclasts possess mechanisms capable of detecting H⁺ ions as a biological signal. Theoretically, it is therefore plausible that a diet could increase net endogenous acid production and enhance resorption activity without inducing clinical acidosis. For example, in a metabolic test, modifying the acid-base load through diet resulted in a change in urinary pH of approximately 1 unit, while blood pH changed by only 0.014 (Buclin et al., 2001). This demonstrates that small changes in bicarbonate or pH can occur without causing systemic acidosis, given the renal acid excretion system in urine and the activation of organic buffer systems.

ACIDIFICATION OF THE LOCAL TISSUE MICROENVIRONMENT

Furthermore, blood pH can be perfectly normal while some extracellular microenvironments exhibit a lower pH. Tissues continuously produce CO2, lactate, and protons. In bone, this phenomenon is particularly important because osteoclasts, through their physiological activity, create an extremely acidic microenvironment beneath their rough surface to dissolve hydroxyapatite. Blood pH does not accurately reflect the interstitial pH of each tissue. Few dietary studies provide consistent evidence of this type of acidification, even locally. Some controlled studies with a protein intake of 2 g/kg/day do not show systemic acidosis, and other studies with increased protein intake have not demonstrated a decrease in musculoskeletal pH through muscle microdialysis (Boschmann et al., 2020). In fact, in human muscle, the interstitial pH variations measured during exercise are far greater than the simultaneous variations in venous pH. Physical exercise and the acidification it induces are linked to good overall health, even in people who engage in intense physical activity throughout their lives. A diet rich in protein and with a high renal acid potential can increase urinary acidity and calciuria without necessarily increasing bone resorption. Furthermore, no consistent epidemiological link has been established between protein consumption and poorer bone health. In addition, protein increases the intestinal absorption of calcium and IGF-1.

EPIDEMIOLOGY AND INTERVENTION STUDIES: Epidemiologically, systematic reviews of observational studies tend to show an increased risk of fracture with a high dietary acid load, although this risk is generally low (Mirzababaei et al., 2025). However, vegan populations tend to have lower bone density and a higher fracture prevalence despite lower protein intake and consumption of less acidifying foods (Ogilvie et al., 2022). Another interesting piece of evidence comes from studies that have directly attempted to increase alkalinity through supplementation. For example, some studies on potassium bicarbonate show a reduction in urinary calcium excretion and some resorption markers in older adults, although the evidence regarding clinical endpoints is insufficient to demonstrate that this intervention results in a definitive reduction in fractures. Other relevant clinical trials, conducted over a longer period, have not demonstrated a clear benefit. A relevant controlled clinical trial, conducted with 276 women over two years, revealed no difference in CTX, P1NP, or lumbar or hip bone density (Macdonald et al., 2008). A meta-analysis from 2026 showed no significant effect on resorption markers or other relevant endpoints (AlSejari et al., 2026).

SUBCLINICAL ACIDIFICATION AS A PHYSIOPATHOLOGICAL PROCESS

Furthermore, subclinical acidification can also occur in the context of inflammatory catabolism due to insufficient energy and protein intake and metabolic disorders associated with more fragile health. In other words, diet can contribute to the overall acid load, but the development of subclinical acidosis also depends on the body’s ability to manage it. Thus, age, metabolism, and kidney health could represent a greater “acid load” than diet alone. With age, renal acid excretion, available bicarbonates, and the functional reserve of tissues such as muscles and bones may decrease, while chronic diseases, inflammation, and metabolic disorders can increase endogenous acid production or reduce its compensation. Moreover, low protein intake in older adults poses a greater problem for general health, muscle mass, function, and the risk of falls and fractures than the role that subclinical acidification might play.

FINAL COMMENTS

In summary, the hypothesis of an “alkaline diet,” strictly understood as a significant change in blood pH, is difficult to support in individuals with normal acid-base balance. However, dietary acid load can indeed alter kidney function, acid excretion, and certain parameters of mineral metabolism. This effect could be amplified when the body’s physiological capacity for compensation decreases, as occurs with age or in cases of kidney disease. A diet rich in plant-based foods is advisable for several reasons, including a lower acid load, without sacrificing sufficient protein, energy, or mineral intake, which could pose a greater risk to bone health than simply attempting to alkalize the diet.

Understanding the benefits of makeup to make your eyes appear larger

To successfully make your eyes appear larger, it’s essential to consider your face as a whole. Eye makeup alone isn’t enough; it must harmonize with the rest of your beauty look.

The importance of complexion and facial structure

An even complexion is the essential foundation. If dark circles or redness aren’t neutralized, they draw attention to shadowy areas, which tends to make the eyes appear smaller. By working on a fresh, luminous complexion, you create a base that allows the colors applied to your eyelids to pop more, naturally opening up the entire face.

Correcting eyebrows to open up the eyes

Your eyebrows frame your eyes. Eyebrows that are too low or too thick on the inner corner can instantly weigh down your upper eyelid. I recommend maintaining a well-groomed brow line, ideally with a slight undercut. By visually lifting your brow line, you create valuable space that makes your eyelid appear larger.

Prepare the eye contour area

The success of eye-enlarging makeup relies first and foremost on meticulous preparation. The skin around the eyes is very thin and requires specific care to prevent signs of fatigue.

Hydration and concealer: the essentials

I can’t stress enough the importance of moisturizing. Well-hydrated skin is more supple, which prevents makeup from settling into fine lines. Apply a light eye cream before your concealer. Choose a concealer slightly lighter than your natural skin tone to catch the light under your eyes and banish unwanted shadows.

Brighten your eyes with suitable concealers

In addition to concealer, using color correctors can be a lifesaver. If your dark circles have bluish or purplish tones, a touch of peach or apricot corrector will neutralize the color before applying your foundation. This step ensures optimal luminosity, essential for creating that wide-open-eye look.

Eyeshadow application techniques

The placement of eyeshadows is the heart of the structuring process. The goal is to project light outwards and upwards.

Use light colors for brightness

To make eyes appear larger, I always prefer light, shimmery, or satin eyeshadows on the center of the eyelid. These textures reflect light and add volume to the eye. Don’t hesitate to apply a generous amount to instantly give your eyelid a wider appearance.

The use of shadows to create depth

While lighter shades add volume, darker shades, used sparingly, add depth. Apply a slightly darker shade to the crease of the eyelid, blending well outwards. The trick is to extend this shadow towards the temple rather than downwards, to avoid weighing down the eyes.

Gradients and transitions: avoiding eye-catching mistakes

The secret lies in blending. Sharp edges can make the eye appear smaller, creating a compact look. Ensure your transitions between eyeshadows are seamless. Here are some key points for successful gradients:

• Use a clean, soft brush to blend the outer edges.
• Never apply your eyeshadow too low under the eye, as this could accentuate the effect of fatigue.
• Keep the inner corner of the eye as clear as possible.

Mastering the application of eyeliner and pencil

The outline alters the shape of the eye. Used correctly, it becomes a powerful tool for redefining and enlarging your contours.

The art of the fine line, elongated outwards

If you like eyeliner, keep it very thin, especially on the inner half of your eyelid. You can gradually thicken the line towards the outer corner and finish with a slight flick that points towards your temple. This technique elongates the shape of your eye and instantly opens it up.

Use the beige or white pencil on the lower waterline

This is undoubtedly the most effective and quickest trick: applying a flesh-toned or beige pencil to the lower waterline. Pure white can sometimes look artificial, while beige blends perfectly to mimic the natural radiance of the skin. This elongates the whites of the eyes and instantly creates a doe-eyed effect.

The “doe-eyed” effect without weighing down the eyelid

To achieve this effect without making your eyes look smaller, I recommend avoiding intense black eyeliner all around the eye. Instead, blend brown or gray eyeshadow along the lower lash line, only on the outer third. This technique frames the eyes without creating a harsh line.

The importance of mascara and eyelash curlers

Eyelashes are key to opening up the eyes. A well-groomed lash can visually gain several millimeters in length.

Curl the lashes for maximum opening

An eyelash curler is a tool I consider essential. By curling your lashes from the root, you free up your eyelid and expose more of your eye. Don’t hesitate to hold the curl for a few seconds, then apply your mascara immediately to set the curl.

Apply mascara precisely to the upper and lower eyelashes.

For mascara, opt for lengthening formulas. Apply it well to the roots of your lashes using a zigzag motion, then extend it towards the tips, focusing on the middle and outer corner lashes. A light touch of mascara on the lower lashes, provided it’s well separated, can also help balance your look, but be careful not to overload it to avoid smudging.

Professional tips for a wider-looking gaze every day

Beyond basic techniques, a few details make all the difference in your daily routine.

The role of highlighter in the inner corner

A tiny touch of highlighter or iridescent eyeshadow placed in the inner corner of the eye is a true focal point of light . It instantly gives your face a fresh and awake look, even after a short night.

Adapt makeup to the shape of your eyes

Every eye shape reacts differently. Here’s how to adapt my advice to your specific eye shape:

• Deep-set eyes : accentuate light shades all over the mobile eyelid.
• Drooping eyelids : work the gradient slightly above the natural crease of the eye, with the eye open.
• Close-set eyes : emphasize brightness in the inner corner and extend makeup outwards.

Common mistakes to avoid so as not to narrow the gaze

To maintain optimal results, I advise you to be vigilant about certain points that can negate your efforts:

• Excess black in the upper and lower mucous membrane, which closes the eye.
• Overly heavy mascara creates “clumps” and weighs down the eyelashes.
• The failure to blend the materials, leaving opaque blocks of color.
• Using shades that are too dark across the entire mobile eyelid.

1. Engage in regular physical activity

A sedentary lifestyle is one of the main risk factors for many chronic diseases: type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and even cancer. Yet, simply moving a little each day is enough to limit their effects.

According to the World Health Organization , adults are recommended to get at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week, or about 30 minutes a day, five days a week. You can walk briskly, take the stairs, swim, cycle, go to the gym, or even do some fitness at home.

Regular physical activity improves cardiovascular health, boosts the immune system, promotes calorie loss, prevents osteoporosis, reduces the risk of cancer, and positively impacts mental health by releasing feel-good hormones.

Tip: Make it a habit to move around in your daily life. Park further away, use active transportation, walk to do your shopping, or schedule a “physical activity” break at the office.

2. Eat a healthy and balanced diet at every meal

Your diet plays a fundamental role in maintaining good health. A healthy diet helps prevent excess weight, regulate cholesterol, reduce cardiovascular disease, and provide your body with essential nutrients.

Here are some easy guidelines to adopt for healthy eating:

• Eat fruits and vegetables at every meal (at least 5 portions per day).
• Favor legumes, plant-based products, and whole grains.
• Limit added sugars, processed products, fatty, salty or sugary foods.
• Reduce your consumption of red meat and processed meats, and favor fish rich in omega-3.
• Incorporate calcium-rich dairy products for bone health.
• Remember to stay well hydrated throughout the day.

Tip: Learn to read labels. Good, healthy nutrition starts with choosing healthy, unprocessed foods.

3. Getting enough sleep for a healthier lifestyle

Restorative sleep is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to weight gain, hormonal imbalances, a weakened immune system, high blood pressure, and impaired mental health.

Adults should sleep between 7 and 9 hours per night, maintaining regular bedtimes and wake-up times. Good quality sleep improves concentration, memory, and productivity, and contributes to mental and physical health.

To promote better sleep:

• Avoid screens before bed.
• Practice relaxation or breathing exercises.
• Avoid caffeine and rich or sugary meals in the evening.
• Create a suitable environment: a dark, quiet room with a cool temperature.

Tip: A short 20-minute nap can also improve alertness during the day.

4. Reduce risky behaviors: tobacco and alcohol

Certain bad habits can seriously harm your health. Smoking, excessive or regular alcohol consumption, and unhealthy eating are among the major causes of chronic diseases, cancers, and premature death.

Smoking increases the risk of cancer (especially lung cancer), cardiovascular disease, and dementia. Excessive alcohol consumption damages the liver and nervous system, and contributes to premature aging.

Tip: Talk to your doctor about support for quitting smoking or reducing alcohol consumption. Many tools are available (patches, support groups, health apps).

5. Take care of your mental health

Good mental health is just as important as physical health. It impacts your energy, motivation, relationships, and even your immune system. A healthy lifestyle therefore also includes managing stress and emotions, and maintaining good psychological balance.

Here are some suggestions to consider:

• Practice relaxation or mindfulness meditation.
• Maintaining regular social connections, even remotely.
• Taking time for yourself, for a pleasant activity (reading, music, walking, drawing…).
• Limit exposure to anxiety-inducing information.
• Consult a healthcare professional if you experience anxiety, isolation, or a persistent decline in mood.

Tip: Incorporating an artistic or social activity into your week can enhance feelings of purpose and well-being.

Conclusion

Adopting healthier lifestyle habits means preserving your health in the long term, living longer, and enjoying a better quality of life. It’s not about striving for perfection, but about gradually improving your daily hygiene by incorporating simple and sustainable changes.

What is a low-calorie and filling food?

A low-calorie food is simply one that provides little energy per 100g: for example, less than 50 kcal for most vegetables, less than 100 kcal for lean proteins. But that’s not all! A satiating food is one that keeps you feeling full for a long time, thanks to its high fiber, protein, and water content, or its low glycemic index.

Imagine your stomach like a sponge: the more water and fiber a food contains, the more it fills you up without weighing you down, much like a sponge that absorbs a lot of water without being heavy. Conversely, potato chips (high in calories, low in fiber) don’t fill you up much but provide a lot of energy.

The main principles for choosing appetite-suppressant foods

To identify a truly filling AND low-calorie food, rely on a few simple criteria: favour foods rich in fibre (vegetables, whole grains), in protein (lean meats, eggs, low-fat dairy products), and in water (fruits, vegetables).

A low glycemic index also helps prevent cravings. The “Body Reset” principle involves starting over with a healthy diet, focusing on these foods to rebalance your meals. To check the calorie density, read the labels: less than 50 kcal/100g for vegetables, less than 100 kcal/100g for lean proteins—that’s ideal!

Comparative example: an apple (52 kcal/100g, rich in fiber and water) is much more satiating than a banana (90 kcal/100g, sweeter) or a handful of potato chips (500 kcal/100g, low in fiber, virtually no appetite-suppressing effect). Paule Neyrat and Joyfuel recommend incorporating these “filling” foods into your daily diet for a lasting effect.
