The Acid Equation
When it comes to pH (potential of hydrogen), most people know more about why this matters in a pool or aquarium than in our own bodies. But did you know that our bodies are more than 70% water too? In fact, our blood is 83% water and has a very specific pH: 7.365. If our blood varies more than .1 pH from that level, illness and death quickly follow. Our body works constantly to maintain that pH balance.
The food we eat and water we drink has a pH too. Here are common examples:
- Cola, Soda, Carbonated Beverages - pH 2.0
- Standard Cup of Coffee - pH 4.1
- Ground Beef - pH 3.2
• Respiration – the average person gets plenty of fresh, clean air each day
• Perspiration – the average person gets plenty of cardio exercise each day or performs manual labor to the point of exhaustion
• Urination / Defication – the average person has an finely-tuned digestive system that processes and eliminates everything not required to live a healthy life
Oh wait, we must be describing the lifestyle of some other nation, possibly that of Japan where the healthy life expectancy is off the charts!
Although not through ideal procedures, our bodies do have a way of dealing with all this acid: NEUTRALIZATION.
The body plays a clever trick and leaches (removes) calcium and magnesium (alkaline minerals) from our bones to help offset the over-acidification. Even worse, the acid that can’t be eliminated or neutralized is stored as solid waste.
According to the functional theory by many acclaimed research scientists and medical doctors, all diseases can be traced back to two simple problems:
• Dehydration – Water is the fluid of life. When we become dehydrated, we reduce our body’s ability to process nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Further, we starve the body of the fluid by which it cleanses and detoxifies the organs and blood, leaving toxins running rampant in our bodies.
• Over-Acidification – Our bodies prefer an alkaline environment. When acid builds up, it robs every available resource to maintain pH balance. Excess acid is stored in the body and slowly poisons us over time.
