I deal with an achy body. And I've just learned to live with it, take pain pills 4 times per day and thinking IF I changed my diet big time, concentrated mostly on the foods in the Green zones on the color chart, MAYBE my body would get less achy. I eat meats which are acidic. Cut out meats a lot for just a couple days and see how I feel. This link talks about a change in 3 days:

I've heard this years ago: We are what we eat.
