Digital marketer Rashmi Sinha, 28, has been living solo in Mumbai for the last five years. Not very long ago, she was drawn to the organic food-eating habit. “And just then, the pandemic happened. At a time when your immunity plays a significant role in battling the Covid-19 infection, I felt I was on the right path. I reduced chemicals in my diet, and practised yoga every day,” she says. 

Sinha began discussing this transition with her friends; some suggested that she take it up a notch and try the alkaline diet. “It’s based on the idea that replacing acid-forming foods with alkaline eats can improve your health. It doesn’t require you to spend a lot; in fact, it comes free of cost. You can use all the resources already available in your kitchen to follow this lifestyle,” she shares, arguing in favour of this dietary change over other fads that require 
serious spending.
