Over acidification of the body (cells, tissues and fluids) is the greatest contributor to illness.
Acidification leads to the buildup of toxins, as well as the growth of dangerous microforms like yeasts (Candida), fungi and harmful bacteria.
This toxicity leads to stress and eventual sickness. Modern daily diets and lifestyles create this acidic environment in your body. more
The pH level (acid - alkaline measurement) of your internal fluids affects every cell in your body. Your body regulates its pH level just like it regulates its temperature. In doing so, it will even create stress on other tissues or body systems if it must.
Since your blood MUST maintain a very narrow pH range of 7.365 to 7.40, you body will do all sorts of things in order to deal with excess acidity. Test your pH Level
It will flush excess acids into fat cells (which is why you can't seem to loose those extra kilos). Or perhaps it will leach calcium (an alkaline mineral) from your bones in order to neutralize acids. Take the Acidity Self Test
Your body will also stress tissues by flushing acids into them (as is the case with gout) because it can't dump these acids into the bloodstream (which must remain alkaline or you'd die).
Simply stated, chronic overacidity will interrupt all cellular activities and functions - it interferes with life itself. Download Free E Book on Acid / Alkaline Balance
When the pH of your body becomes too acidic you may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion aches and pains and even more serious disorders.
The body becomes imbalanced and overly acidic primarily as a result of three things:
1. INGESTING ACIDS
Eating too many acidifying foods create an acid ash in the body. These acids can overload your body's ability to neutralize them.
2. CREATION OF ACIDS
An acidic environment is a breeding ground for toxic microforms. Since these organisms are living, they steal your nutrients, and create resulting acidic toxins.
3. IMPROPER ELIMINATION OF ACIDS
The body uses many systems in order to buffer acids including breath, mineral reserves, and fat. When the body's buffering systems become compromised, excess acids build up.
In order to realize proper pH balance, you must deal with every contributing factor to acidity.
The great news is that when you get your pH in balance, you have really set the stage for optimal health.
Vibrant health and energy are the direct result of a body that's pH balanced.
