pH refers to the acid alkaline balance of the body or body
systems. Like a big battery, some of our body systems are
slightly alkaline and some are slightly acidic. It is vital for
the blood to maintain an alkaline window of about 7.3 to 7.45 (a
pH of 7 is neutral, a pH above 7 is alkaline and a pH below 7 is
acidic). The skin on the other hand is slightly acidic. The
stomach is very acidic and the upper GI tract is slightly
alkaline. The body needs to maintain a slightly alkaline
disposition and the blood in particular is tightly regulated
pushing all excess acid out into our body.
Unfortunately the standard American diet is highly acid forming.
Consider a typical soft drink is 2.5 acid and you get the
picture. Meats, fish, white flour, sugar, alcohol, coffee, most
dairy products, refined vegetable oils are all acid forming. Add
to that a sedentary lifestyle, stress, infections, smoking and
even a negative mental/emotional disposition, all of which
create acidity in the body. When the body changes toward an over
acidic condition it is referred to as Metabolic Acidosis.

Even a slightly over
acidic condition can cause problems such as poor
utilization of oxygen, slow recovery from illness or
injury, accelerated free radical damage and premature
aging, weight gain, diabetes, low energy, chronic
fatigue, aching joints and muscles, immune deficiency,
kidney and gall stones and other chronic degenerative
conditions. Over
acidity also causes the body to rob alkaline minerals
from the bones like calcium in an attempt to reach pH
balance, initiating the osteoporotic process, which
takes years before it becomes apparent. |
Most fruits, berries and vegetables
are alkaline forming foods. Adding just one serving of
FruiterraTM
to your daily diet can help assure
proper pH levels that will assist in warding off degenerative
disease
processes.
