Why is pH Important?
An acidic pH – which is anything lower than a 7.0 – can lead to a host of health problems. The body is electric and is designed to thrive in an alkaline state (typically 7.4 pH); in an acidic one, tissues just don’t repair and regenerate (leading to things like signs of premature aging), elimination from the system is not conducted efficiently (causing a backup of toxins throughout the body, which further impairs functioning) and cells don’t receive the oxygen they need. A cell without oxygen is like a fish without water… and we know what that means. Acid in the body is linked to insulin sensitivity, cholesterol accumulation in the arteries, and ALL DISEASES as mucus builds up in the body.
How Does The Body Become Acidic?
Over time, the introduction of outside substances changes the body’s pH. It’s no surprise that food – and the quality of it – will have a substantial impact on the body’s acidity. A diet of fast food, meat, dairy, acid sugars, and alcohol increases the body’s acidity exponentially. Because the body seeks its ideal pH, it will pull alkalizing minerals from organs and tissues to buffer and remove acid from the system. If this carries on, cells and structures start to corrode and fall apart.
The Good News
Choosing an electric & alkaline whole foods, plant-based lifestyle not only protects you from ALL DISEASES, thanks to the plethora of powerful life-energy disease-fighting compounds found in them, but electric plant foods are the most alkalizing of anything we can consume. Eliminating meat and dairy intake and replacing with recommended alkaline plant foods you eat each day has been shown to remove cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes. The reason for this is two-fold: disease cells require an acidic environment to proliferate, and an alkaline body has more robust immune defenses.
