When these reserves are exploited and there are no minerals left, the body’s acidity increases and diseases occur.
Acidic foods:
- Grains
- Dairy
- Soy
- Meat
- Coffee
- Alcohol
- Processed foods
- Refined sugar
- GMO oils and GMO foods
- Sugar replacements
When our diet is based on these foods, the metabolism leads to the production of acidic waste products. In order to lower the effects of this waste or to remove it from the body, there is a need of alkaline foods.
The most common symptoms of an overly acidic body:
- Surplus mucus
- Coughing
- Chest pain
- Fatigue
- Osteoporosis
- Reduced mental clarity
- Bladder and kidney infections
- Poor immunity
- Skin problems like rashes, eczema
- Bloating, acid reflux, gas, and indigestion
- Yeast infections
- Weight gain
- Diabetes
- Allergic reactions
- Sciatica
- Stiff neck
- Sensitive gums
- Cavity
- Joint and muscle ache
Why doesn’t the body adjust its pH?
The body does this, but at a certain rate. The fluids and the tissues of the body are alkaline. When the body is too acidic, tissues will take alkaline-forming components from other body parts and develop an optimal surrounding for where the alkaline-forming elements were taken. Therefore, in order for the body to change the pH on its own, it does it at a cost of other bodily systems.
So, what is the right way to alkalize the body?
Through changes in your diet and improvements in your lifestyle:
- Drink a lot of filtered water
- Lower the intake of acidic foods to a minimum
- Eat more greens like green juices, green salads, and green smoothies
- Practice yoga or meditate to reduce the anger, fear, and jealousy since they can also influence the body’s pH
- Don’t eat GMO foods
- Eat more veggies, nuts, seeds, beans, and legumes
- Drink lemon water
