DID YOU KNOW?
The "ph" in alkaline ph refers to the potential hydrogen balance.
If we have the optimal alkaline ph balance within our own body,
we have blood chemistry balance, or homeostasis.
Disease cannot live in a body that has an alkaline ph.
Have you ever wondered why certain environments attract different things? A field of flowers attracts beautiful butterflies and bees, while a swamp attracts mosquitoes and other insects. Well that is because one environment is alkaline, while the latter is acidic.
Science has found that organisms that carry disease, like mosquitos, prefer an environment with an acidic ph. It is easiest to think of it this way: an acidic ph attracts disease, while an alkaline ph attracts health and wellness.
Our body acidity or alkalinity predicts the environment within our body: just like a swamp or a field of flowers it can either harbor disease or flourish.
How Do I Find Out if I Have an Alkaline ph?
If you would like to find out your body's acid or alkaline ph go to your local health food store. They should have ph test strips that test your saliva. They are easy to use, cheap, and accurate. At Diet Health and Fitness we test our ph about once a month.
How Can You Get An Alkaline ph?
To get and keep an alkaline ph you need to follow a healthy lifestyle that includes eating more organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts. It should be noted that you need to eat organic in order to have an alkaline ph because non-organic food is filled with acidic chemicals.
Exercising regularly is also a great way to achieve and maintain an alkaline ph as exercise and sweating is one of your body's most effective ways of eliminating acidic toxins.
Acidic Items To Watch Out For In Your Lifestyle
You will also want to cut down on the acidic influences in your diet:
* Sugar
* Red meat
* Dairy products
* Pasta sauce
* Poor air quality
* Poor water quality
* Coffee
* Prescription Drugs
* Cigarettes
* Alcohol
* Processed foods and fast food
* Deep fried foods
* Chemical pollutants (pesticides, hormones etc.)
If your body has an acidic ph and you would like to try to make it have an alkaline ph, you should maintain a dietary ratio of four parts alkaline to one part acid, this is what works for most people.
It should also be noted that one way the body naturally protects against high acidic levels is by using calcium as a natural buffer. If your body is highly acidic and you are not getting enough calcium through your diet or supplements your body will naturally pull calcium from your teeth, bones, to buffer the acidity. This will make your bones and teeth brittle.
Every human body is different. You need to be as educated as you can on YOUR body and what makes YOU feel good and healthy. Pay attention to how often you get sick in relation to certain foods you are putting into your body.
To stay healthy and illness free make an active effort to maintain an alkaline ph by testing your body's ph once a month and putting good healthy food, along with high quality supplements into your body. Remember to exercise and cut down on exposure to other pollutants such as poor air and water quality.
