pH LEVELS AND YOUR BODY
The purpose of this article is to shed light on the importance of the
body's pH in maintaining a healthy body.
Ph=is the measure of hydrogen and oxygen ions in a solution. Our blood,urine,saliva, digestive juices, mucus, and the fluids inside and outside our cells each have an optimum pH level. While our digestive juices are quite acidic, our blood must be slightly alkaline.
In order for our body’s cells to function at it top capacity, our body needs to ensure that its pH levels are in a slightly alkaline state (that means with a pH of slightly more than 7).
One of our blood jobs is to carry oxygen to cells in our body, therefore our blood has to be alkaline. In order for us to survive our body won't let our blood become acidic and unable to carry the oxygen to cells in our body so our body pulls alkaline minerals (especially calcium) from our saliva, soft tissues, and bones.
Despite this many of our body fluids may be more acidic than they should be. Alkaline conditions maintain our body’s ability to rebuild and repair itself, while an acidic environment ensures that our body will break down faster.
The body natural mechanisms to eliminate acids can handle the natural acids created by the body which are created in energy production and the process of rebuilding cells. However, the extra acidity created by a poor diet has the body systems overwhelmed with an accumulation of acids.
What are the results of too much acidity?
When a body is acidic, it creates a welcoming environment for viruses and bacteria to come in and begin to flourish. As viruses and bacteria continue to flourish inside our body, we experience lack of energy, frequent illness and pains. If a person doesn't do anything about changing the acidic state of the body, the situation can get worse. Virus or bacteria can mutate into a serious illness.
On the contrary, bacteria and viruses perish in alkaline environment, because a pH balanced or alkaline body doesn't create the environment for viruses and bacteria to thrive and flourish. Thus, no bacteria or virus will enter an alkaline body, grow and mutate into serious illness or disease.
Degenerative diseases as osteoporosis, cancers, arthritis, etc. are primarily due to acidosis(the system being too acid). Based on testimonials,conditions ranging from dandruff and fungus under the toe to diabetes and cancer have lessened or in some cases gone into full remission simply by achieving a proper acid/alkaline balance.
The bottom line is that we need to handle the reasons the body becomes acidic and there are some things that can be done. It's not only the poor nutrition but the constant bombardment of the body by pollutants and poisons, chemicals that we either ingest, breath or put into our body daily.
“The cells of a healthy body are alkaline while the cells of a diseased body
are acidic.” – Dr. Arthur Guyton (author of the “Textbook of Medical Physiology”)
Enjoy life having a healthy body.
