alkalizing

In order to survive, the body must maintain the proper acid/alkaline (pH) balance. The optimum pH of the blood is somewhat alkaline, 7.3-7.4, and various tissues and organ systems vary from these numbers. The pH balance can be affected by many factors including the food we eat, stress, and the quality of our thoughts, emotions, actions, etc.
If this balance cannot be maintained, the body will begin to break down and die. The body is constantly striving to maintain this balance, and there are many processes by which this is accomplished.
Over time, the body can become increasingly unbalanced as acid continues to build up in the tissues. Initial signs can be rashes, pain, allergies and/or inflammation. If the process continues chronic degenerative diseases will occur.
In addition, yeast, molds, fungus and parasites thrive in an acidic body. They feed on our body’s proteins and fats, and their wastes poison us. They thrive in the anaerobic (lack of oxygen) environment of the acidic body.
Dis-ease is much less likely to develop or survive when the inner terrain of the body is in balance. When you change the internal environment of your body by feeding, alkalizing and oxygenating the tissues your body can begin to heal. Our bodies are created to seek and maintain homeostasis (balance). The problem is, most of us are not living or eating in the way nature intended.
