Not many people are aware of how acidic the foods are that they eat. These acids build up in our body as there is no way to eliminate them without detoxifying our body by eating a more alkalizing diet. These acids deposit themselves on our bones and joints and cause inflammation which results in stiffness, swelling and severe pain.

In the process of this our body needs to use up its stores of calcium and minerals in order to buffer the acids which can, over time, lead to disorders such as osteoporosis and other painful bone conditions.

I suffered for years from excrutiating pain in my lower back, a combination of stress on my body from pregnancies and eating a poor diet of acidic foods such as diet coke, white bread, processed foods and even drinking acidic tap water.

It wasn’t until I eliminated most of these types of foods from my diet and started eating more alkalizing foods such as salads, vegetables, drinking higher pH waters, fruit and vegetable juices, that my body started to get properly nourished (probably for the first time since I was a child!) and the pain went away completely. I also started to notice that a long term problem I had with pain from a broken wrist went away too.

I started my parents on this diet and my mum suffers from chronic arthritis in her neck and wrists and diverticulitis, and she was amazed at how she no longer needed to take toxic painkillers and was able to do her gardening once again. My Dad noticed a remarkable improvement in his back. Of course an extra benefit is you lose unnecessary weight and have more energy too. Not to mention a glowing skin.

Most people who embark on diets feel they need to do them 100% or they don’t get any benefits from them. We only did it 60-75% and the difference in our pain was incredible. Imagine if you are suffering from unbearable pain in your body what could be achieved by doing this or even more.

We don’t need, want, or should not have too much acid within our systems. Our bodies weren’t designed for that as we are creatures of alkalinity. Our blood’s natural pH (potential of Hydrogen) level is around 7.4 on the scale, essentially an alkaline based substance.

This balance however can be disrupted by ingesting too much food which is high in acids, and that is when things can go wrong with health. Like with pretty much everything, as soon as a natural balance is disrupted, then things start falling out of order, a domino effect can be initiated, and in the case of the body, one health issue can lead to another and another. Prolonged exposure to an acid rich diet can lead to very serious health issues.

So keeping an alkaline body balance means that everything inside of you should be working how it should. The body will have the right amount of elements and minerals it’s natural operation needs on a daily basis. When this happens, health is at a level of strength and greatness. Disease, bacteria and infections will find it harder to break through a fortified immune system.

Not only will an alkaline body balance bring you to a natural state of health inside, but other factors get their rewards too. Keeping the right amount of alkalinity in your blood can promote longevity and battle against the signs of aging. An alkalizing diet, essential for balancing yourself, can also aid with weight loss because of the nature of foods you will be eating to get the necessary alkaline. As well as being a form of preventative medicine by keeping your immune system healthy, it can also lead you to have a lot more energy and vitality in your life.

An alkaline body balance. Weigh it up for yourself and see which side you want to stand on.

The body is naturally alkaline anyway. Your blood, by default has a pH (potential of hydrogen) level of around 7.4 on the scale. It has been suggested that this balance can easily be disrupted by overeating an abundance of acid foods. Acid foods detract from your alkaline body, and therein lies the problem.

Lack of energy, headaches and other common complaints can be blamed upon losing the balance of your alkaline body. The alkalinity helps to keep the blood oxygenated and therefore the immune system healthy and strong to fight off infections.

The main cause for such imbalance comes from the diet, the type and range of foods that are being metabolised on a regular basis. Too much acid and that 7.4pH may not be sustained and can lead to risk of illnesses and infections.

Doing a little housekeeping on yourself to keep your alkaline body as it should be, isn’t too much of an undertaking. Increased respiration rate and taking cold showers can help boost alkaline levels, but for the most part, eating alkaline foods will bring the overall health benefits as well as taking care of your natural alkaline levels. Vegetables and fruits, alkaline foods which are the main source of an alkalizing diet need to play a bigger part in your eating plans.

An alkaline food chart will point you in the right direction, but the signposts are clear. Less of the acid rich foods like meats, dairy and sweets, more of the goodness of vegetables and fruit. The quick and easy shortcut to a healthy alkaline body.
