The food you put into your body can have a great affect on your overall health and well-being. Most Americans consume a high-acid diet full of fatty meats, chicken, turkey, pasta, cheese and hundreds of processed food items. This diet can ruin your bodys alkaline balance and actually lead to cell death in your entire body.
You need to reverse the acid overload and return to an alkaline state to avoid these sure signs of body imbalance:
- Poor circulation
- Joint and muscle pain
- Irregular heartbeats
- Weak veins and arteries
- Low energy and fatigue
- Premature aging
To help eliminate food chemicals, additives and toxins, plus the everyday toxic invaders from the air you breathe and the water you drink you need to maintain an optimum pH alkaline/acid balance of 7 to 7.5 on a scale of 1 to 14. This pH scale measures 1 as being highly acidic, while 14 is highly alkaline. By reaching this pH balance goal, you can avoid excess acid that can cause damage to your colon, lungs, kidneys and skin, plus you can boost your immunity so you virtually never get sick!
You can also increase the amount of alkaline-forming foods you consume. These foods can help restore your pH balance, as well. Try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, plus high-fiber foods and whole grains. Avoid dairy, sugary snack foods and processed items. By evaluating the food you put into your body, you can help maintain a healthy pH balance and avoid the ravages of old age and sickness.
