Why We Need to Alkalize our Bodies for Health

Saturday, 07 November 2009 18:02 Leo Health & Fitness - Nutrition

Exercise The food that we eat burns with oxygen in our cells to produce energy. After burning, the ash becomes acid wastes and the cells dump them into the bloodstream. If you could get rid of 99.9% of the garbage in your home everyday, wouldn’t that .01% accumulate into lot of garbage over the years? The same analogy is true as our body tries its best to get rid of these wastes through urine, breath and perspiration.

Unfortunately, we cannot get rid of all the wastes that we produce and what is left over must be stored somewhere in our body. The body plays a clever trick to convert these acid wastes into solid wastes, which is the beginning of “Acidosis”, a state that the body becomes slightly acidic rather than alkaline. Read on to learn how this acid build up affects most adult degenerative diseases.

Veggies pH is one of the most important things your need to learn about in terms of health or disease. In order for your body's cells to function at peak capacity, your body needs to ensure that its pH levels-especially your blood-are in a slightly alkaline state (that means with a pH of slightly more than 7).

pH = the measure of hydrogen and oxygen ions (electrically charges particles) in a solution. Your blood, urine, saliva, digestive juices, mucus, and the fluids inside and outside your cells each have an optimum pH level. While your digestive juices are quite acidic, your blood must be slightly alkaline. Why should your blood be slightly alkaline?
