PH-antastic Phacts

Is your body alkaline and acidic?

The most important thing to know is that illness is cause by acid.  If I could teach you one thing…this would be it. Acid and alkaline balance is important to your health.  I never even knew about my bodies PH balance before my journey into health.

THIS IS THE FACT: Illness is caused by Acidification  Therefore, alkaline-acid balance is one of the biggest keys to health.  Once you master this in your diet, you will thrive and will feel remarkably better.  You will be surprised by all the diseases and ailments that are caused by acidity in the diet…and then in the body.   Acidity causes disturbance in your enzymes, demineralization and seriously harmful acid activity.

If you are too acidic you may suffer from the following; No energy, Depression, Nervousness and agitation, Low stress threshold, Tooth and gum disease, Conjunctivitis, Cracking at the corners of your lips, Acidic diarrhea, Mineral and calcium depletion of bones, Osteoporosis, Inflamed intestines, Burning in the bladder, Runny nose and chills, dry skin, thin nails, dull, dry hair, leg cramping, Rheumatism, Arthritis, Sciatica, Tendinitis, Migrant joint pains

UNDERSTAND PH BALANCE: The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. The numbers below 7 are acidic (low on oxygen) The numbers above 7 are alkaline

THIS IS IMPORTANT…

Blood, lymph, and cerebral spinal fluid in the human body are designed to be slightly alkaline at a pH of 7.4.

At a pH slightly above 7.4 cancer cells become dormant At pH 8.5 cancer cells will die while healthy cells will live.

THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST DO:

60-80% of the diet should be alkaline 20-40% should be acidic for an optimum result.

ACIDIC DIETS EAT UP YOUR MINERALS WHILE ALKALIZING DIETS REPLENISH YOUR MINERALS

So, what is acidic?  Fried foods, animal products, you get it.  Alkaline is the good green stuff.   When you eat acidic food, your body works like crazy to bring it back to an alkaline state…that is how when you get sick it robs your mineral stores to overcompensate and this is where the trouble comes in.

The Standard American Diet (SAD) is acidic, burgers, cheese, coffee, all the stuff that gets eaten every day is eating up all the good things in your body.   Your body does not replenish its minerals–simply put, you need your minerals.  Once you use them, they are gone.  If you want more, then you need to eat them.  Minerals help your body to build essentials to its health; proteins, enzymes, hormones, etc. Foods that are high in minerals are alkaline.

A BONUS!!

You can exercise to improve your PH balance!  Exercise helps the body to balance its PH.
