Balance Your pH & Alkalize Your Cell System to Become Healthy Again
When you ingest too many acidic or acid-producing foods, for instance meat, dairy products, yeast-containing bread, processed food etc. the acid will corrode tissues and organs. Acid creates a favorable environment for harmful micro organisms and bacteria to grow that can damage glands and organs.
Acidosis Results in Disease
The term for this over-acidification of your body cells is Acidosis. Acidosis will interrupt cellular activities and functions, which is a major root of disease and illness. If your body pH level is in imbalance, your cell system will be negatively affected.
Allergies (the absorption of undigested proteins due to an overly acidic body is a major cause of allergy conditions), osteoporosis, join pain, fatigue (an over-acidified body produces toxins and weakens the body's ability to produces enzymes and hormones) and heart attacks can be traced back to acidosis. Above that our body creates fast cells to protect itself from potentially serious damage, to carry these acids away from our vital organs (results in obesity). Chronic pain in various parts of the body is often a sign of excess tissue and cell acidity.
The Internal Terrain
The reason for that lies in the realization that the body's internal environment is more important on our health than the impact of any micro organism. If our internal terrain is in an alkaline condition (the pH level is slightly above neutral at the pH scale, which is between 7.35 and 7.4), the exposure to even the most virulent microbes may not be able to make us sick.
Conversely, if our internal environment is in an unhealthy, too acidic state, disease becomes inevitable. If the pH balance inside us is thrown off, our body loses its ability to assimilate essential nutrients, including vitamins, proteins and minerals. As a result, our energy production slows down, the cells regenerate poorly and we struggle to produce enzymes and hormones that are vital to our health.
Alkaline & Alkalizing Foods
To avoid such a decrease of your overall healthiness you have to take a completely new look at your nutrition and diet. Eating as much as possible alkaline and alkalizing foods will help to balance the body ph and get rid of acid wastes. Sunflower sprouts, flax oil, brown basmati rice, millet, soaked almonds, tomato slices, fresh avocado, vegetable soups or green vegetable juices, salads, freshly squeezed vegetable juices or powdered green plant supplements are a great way to fight your acidic internal environment. All these foods offer a low carbohydrate and high fiber way to nourish your system with what it really needs to prevent us from acidosis.
What is the smart way to do? Apparently very few people are able to eat as much vegetables and greens as demanded from nutritionists and scientists. They all state that we need five servings of vegetables and greens per day, everyday. But if you simply do not have access to enough fresh vegetables at each meal, you can boost your alkalinity with the help of highly concentrated green sprouts and vegetables supplements (in addition to your daily nutrition and diet).
The best ones contain high concentrations of greens vegetables, such as broccoli or spinach, combined with dehydrated juices from cereals and sprouted seeds (such as barley, wheat grass, kamut or alfalfa leafs). They give your system all what it needs to help your body to alkalize and balance its ph and supply your system with the alkaline energy of several servings of fresh vegetables.
pH Balance - Key To Real Healthiness
In this way, the excess acidity inside the body is neutralized, and enough minerals necessary for optimal cell function are provided. If our supply of minerals is inadequate and acid wastes accumulate, the body needs to find minerals where it can and may pull them from the bones (calcium) and muscles (magnesium). Studies have shown that people with chronic acidosis were at greater risk for bone loss (osteoporosis) than those with normal, neutral pH levels.
The key to real healthiness is to alkalize the body system by decreasing the intake of acid-forming food, while at the same time increasing the consumption of alkaline ones. In this way our body pH is balanced, our energy levels will increase immensely and the body naturally drops to its healthy weight. Simply put: an alkaline diet restores health!
Balance-pH-Diet is dedicated to create awareness regarding the constantly growing over-acidification of our cell system (acidosis). Acid waste grows inside the body due to our unhealthy lifestyles. If our internal environment is too acidic, disease becomes inevitable. Balance-pH-Diet demonstrates how to alkalize, how to balance body ph levels and how to restore the overall health.
