Lightbulb The Health of Our bodies depends upon our pH balance

Acidic blood pH levels, which cause toxic acid wastes (acidosis), is a mostly unknown but dangerously destructive circumstance because it leads to so many deadly diseases such as heart disease and cancer, as well as serious health problems such as low energy, unwanted weight gain, poor athletic performance and accelerated aging.

When you have an acidic pH, your body is being silently torn apart day by day and becomes increasingly vulnerable to degenerative diseases of all types. However, when you maintain an alkaline pH on a daily basis, your body can rebuild, repair, rejuvenate and remain young!

Your Body pH affects EVERYTHINGAre you aware that in many cases Cancer has been stopped in its tracks by people who have shifting their blood to an alkaline pH state? The magnitude of this understanding is of incredible importance to someone who is fighting virtually any disease, overcoming an illness, or someone desiring to simply feel better and remain as young as possible. What it means is this... Your Body pH affects EVERYTHING!

Even mild acidity in your body can over time cause such problems as :

Cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels, clogged arteries, weakened veins, and the reduction of oxygen
All forms of Cancer
Unwanted weight/fat gain, obesity, insulin disorders, and diabetes
Liver, Bladder and Kidney conditions, including kidney and gallstones
Weakened Immune system, increased stress, higher blood pressure
Neurological Diseases: MS, ALS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's
Acceleration of free radical damage, possibly contributing to cancerous mutations
Premature aging, frequent headaches, sinusitis, constipation, hemorrhoids
Osteoporosis, weak, brittle bones, hip fractures, bone spurs and calcium deposits
Osteoarthritis, joint pain, aching muscles and lactic acid buildup
Hormonal imbalances, Prostate problems and adult acne
Low energy and chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, acid indigestion and flatulence
Understanding pH
It is very important to understand that we are not talking about stomach acid, saliva pH, or the pH of your urine. We are talking about the pH of the body's fluids, tissues and blood, which is an entirely different matter.

pH stands for "potential of Hydrogen", which is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, such as a mixture of liquids. It is measured on a scale of 0 to 14 -- the lower the pH the more acidic the solution, and the higher the pH the more alkaline the solution. When a solution is neither acid nor alkaline it has a pH of 7 (exactly in the middle), which is neutral. Your body's pH is best when between 7.36 and 7.44, which of course, is slightly alkaline.

Your Body Must Be Slightly Alkaline
We live and die at the cellular level. All of the cells (trillions of them) that make up the human body are slightly alkaline, and must maintain that slight alkalinity in order to function and remain healthy and alive. The body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity -- a condition that may go undetected for years, yet ultimately become deadly.

According to recent medical studies, pH imbalances can be correlated to almost all health conditions, including heart disease, arthritis and cancer. Virtually all leading biochemists and medical physiologists have recognized that your pH (acid-alkaline balance) is the most important aspect of a balanced, healthy and youthful body.

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
