Alkaline/Acidic
The pH Balance

pH balance doesn't have to be major lifestyle changes, it's about small changes that make the biggest impact. You will find pH balance to be intuitive, practical, and most importantly it will make sense to you like nothing ever has. Remember I am here to help and answer any of your questions.  

pH Balance, Acid/Alkaline, Alkalize, or Alkalarian are becoming common terms, used to describe our new awareness and understanding of this uncommon body measurement.

pH Balancing cleans up the water of your body and eliminates toxins "naturally".

The water environment our cells live in can determine the health of our cells, pH balance makes sense when we know we are mostly water (body 70%, blood 96%).

Think about swimming pools, when we chemically induce them to a neutral pH the water becomes clear and pristine, and micro organisms like fungus, bacteria, viruses, yeast, etc., cannot survive in the alkaline environment. We also rid the pool of the waste materials as part of the process of bringing the pH from being acidic up to neutral.

Our pH measurement is a health marker we have control over.

Testing your body fluid with pH test strips is a simple way to measure your internal fluids

pH Scale: (acid) 0  -  14 (alkaline)   Optimal: Saliva 7.365 / Urine 6.8

pH balance or optimal health can be achieved when our blood and tissues are pH neutral, i.e., our bodies are nourished and hydrated and we rid our bodies of waste and toxins.

Cause and effect - Most of us are struggling with performance or feeling "sick and tired", are over or under weight, maybe obese, experiencing health challenges of many degrees, or we know people that are. It's all around us, and the most common denominators are degraded food, water and air.

If you believe you are what you eat, what you drink, and what you breathe, then know we are for the most part, a result of our environment. Fortunately we can control our own personal environments, adjust to the conditions, and make "Small Changes That Make Big Differences".

Our pH measurement reflects our acidity level, and if we listen to our body, so can our symptoms. Ideally, we should always have enough alkalinity within us to neutralize incoming acid, as well as the acid our body creates, but today, many of us find it difficult to diffuse our daily acid, let alone have enough to build a savings of alkalinity to cover us when we have an acid rain storm like a divorce, an accident, or a stressful event.

Supplementation and water purification have become reasonable options to correct our pH balance. Unfortunately, deprivation or lack of pure water (hydration) and food with strong minerals, vitamins, and nutrients, can be the catalyst causing us to become too acidic, it's simple cause and affect.

·    Becoming too acidic reveals itself differently, if we have spiraled from a normal pH we are likely acidic and we could express symptoms occasionally or regularly. If we are very acidic we could have chronic symptoms and seek a more daily treatment for the symptom, and being extremely acidic could result in a diagnosis. Common symptoms that anyone of us may experience as our pH spirals can range from weight gain/loss, heartburn, sleeping issues, allergies, leg cramps, skin disorders, and the list goes on well into weakness and dis-ease. Here's why:

·    It is common knowledge that we can no longer support what our our body requires to function with today's food and water supply, and in addition to our diet we require bio-available supplementation and pure water. This in part is due to a deterioration of the mineral content in the soil (noted by congress as early as 1936), fast food, processed foods, genetically modified foods, inexpensive fillers, hormones and chemicals in our beef and poultry as well as their food integrity, plus an ever growing need to chlorinate, flouridate, and add more and more chemicals to our city water, in addition to exiting toxin issues in our main water supplies and aquifers. 

Small Changes That Make A Big Difference!

pH Tip: pure water Hydration is key, we are 70% water, out blood 96% water. And then there is fresh lemons or limes, cold pressed oils like Olive, Avocado, Coconut, and including Omega 3,6,9, greens and/or lots of vegetables, herbs, sprouts, grasses, and making dinner your healthy meal. Together, all amazing small changes that make a huge difference in the way you feel and look!

Along with providing an understanding of pH balance, meaning which foods are acidic, which alkaline, there are lots of small changes you can easily make which will have the biggest impact on your pH balance, i.e., trading out one food/drink for another which you (and your body) will like better and therefore stay with, plus adding supplements.
