Due to fast paced daily lifestyles, eating on the run,
people have to face a constantly growing endangerment: the
over-acidification of the body cells, which will interrupt cellular
activities and functions. It is a major root of sickness and disease, and it
is also what causes overweight: to protect itself from potentially serious
damage, the body creates new fat cells to store the acids and carry them
away from our vital organs.
The body’s entire metabolic process depends on an alkaline environment. When
people ingest too many acidic or acid-producing foods, excess acid corrodes
tissues and organs, which leads to illness. In addition, acid also provides
a favorable environment for harmful bacteria and other micro organism that
can damage glands and organs.
A diet high in acid foods (e.g. dairy, meat, bread, high sugar fruits,
bread) causes acid wastes to build up in the body. When these acid wastes
enter the blood stream, the blood system tries to dispose of these wastes.
That means if there are too many wastes to handle they are deposited in
vital organ systems like the heart, pancreas, liver, colon and other
locations.
The body’s handling with and disposal of these acids is also called “the
aging process”. In order to slow down this process, the over-acidification
of the body system has to be reversed by adding liberal amounts of alkaline
water to the diet. Alkaline water has a pH between 9 and 11 and will
neutralize harmful acid wastes and gently remove them from the tissues.
The pH level is a measure of acidity or alkalinity, which takes numerical
values from 0 (maximum acidity) through 7 (neutral) to 14 (maximum
alkalinity). The urine, digestive juices, mucus, saliva, blood and the
fluids inside and outside the body’s cells each have an optimum pH level;
blood pH is the most telling of all. The ideal blood pH is slightly
alkaline, with a normal range of 7.35 to 7.45. If the pH moves below 6.8 or
above 7.8, the cells of the body stop functioning. Consequently, the body
continually struggles to maintain its ideal pH.
In doing so, the most important thing is to hydrate it with alkalizing and
alkaline water, which is easily comprehensible since our body consists of
70% water. Besides achieving an ideal blood pH level, it is equally
important to create the proper balance of alkaline and acid forming foods.
Since the pH level is slightly alkaline, a well-balanced diet and nutrition
should also reflect this. Therefore one should consume at least 75% of
alkalizing foods, like green vegetables, alkaline fruits or sprouted greens,
and never more than 20-25% of neutral and acidifying foods. Eatables that
are alkalizing (or alkalizing supplements) transform the internal system’s
balance from dangerously acidic to slightly above neutral.
