The Power of pH Balancing
Aug 25th 2021
Did you know that low energy levels swarming with muscle soreness, low back pain or headaches, and carbohydrate cravings, feasibly signifies a pH imbalance? Once people realize the bad effects resulting from an overly acidic condition in the body, they are found dumbfounded. Yet, one of the most convincing nutritional discoveries in recent times is balanced pH’s role in our energy levels and entire state.
What is the Ideal pH Balance?
pH is the measure of the alkalinity or acidity of a fluid. The body’s internal fluids are alkaline and are maintained at a pH close to 7.0.1 Since even slight abnormalities can severely compromise health, maintaining healthy blood pH (pH 7.35-7.45) is one of the body’s fundamental tasks. The human body must invariably toil to sustain a pH balance of these critical internal fluids: blood, saliva, urine, extracellular and intracellular for all normal bodily reactions and functions to occur.2
What Produces Acidic Waste?
As one gets older, various causes impart to the toxic acid load amassed in our bodies. Along with cellular function, acidic waste can be caused by high-acid foods and beverages, excessive stress, intensive and prolonged exercise, pollution, over-the-counter and prescription drugs, poor lifestyle habits, and even negative thinking.
Lowering Acidity Promotes a Proper pH Balance
Our bodies have many ways of balancing or eradicating acidic waste products to promote optimal pH balance. The body needs enough alkaline reserves to neutralize excess levels of the following acids; carbonic, sulfuric, phosphoric, lactic, and uric. Research has revealed that the body’s natural ability to produce pH-balancing bicarbonates declines with age.3 Mineral-rich foods, such as vegetables, are rich in precursors to bicarbonates in the form of organic acids (citric, malic, acetic, etc.).
The source of mineral and bicarbonate buffers is a balanced diet. The best foods are the fewest acidic waste products and offer the greatest amount of acid-neutralizing minerals (potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium) and bicarbonate precursors. The highest mineral-containing and bicarbonate-producing foods are root vegetables such as celeriac, rutabaga, turnips, carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, white potato, onions; leafy greens such as spinach, lettuce, kale, chard, and stalks such as celery, broccoli.
Power Up Your Day the Alkaline Way!
There are so many ways on how to decrease the
level of acidity in our body. One of the most convenient and effective methods
to diminish acidity is to hydrate and energize first thing in the morning and
throughout the day with an alkalizing
drink.
