<p>How can blood acidity be prevented by eating coffee and its acidity level balanced to alkaline ?
Of course, except for drinking a lot of water.</p>

Welcome! Please add details what you mean by “blood acidity” - preferably a source, thanks.

@Stephie hello , link for details and source , There are many examples of references to acidification of blood and its relationship to coffee. https://eatcultured.com/blogs/our-awesome-blog/acid-in-coffee

@Merlin, the only reference to blood in the post you mention is where one of the acids in coffee is being researched for its potential impact on blood pressure. Attempting to actively self-manage the pH of your blood smells a lot like pseudo-science
