An imbalance in your body’s pH can be dangerous. Nothing does well in an overly acidic pH medium. An acidic imbalance continuously corrodes all body tissues, slowly eating into 60,000 miles of our veins and arteries. This acidic state will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from the beating heart to the neural firing of your brain.
As a person grows older, an imbalance in pH can lead to the progression of most, if not all, degenerative diseases including Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer and Diabetes. It is also the major cause of excessive systematic weight gain.
What causes your pH to be imbalanced?
Most diets cause an unhealthy acid pH. Diet appears to be the major influence in maintaining healthy pH levels throughout the body. Research indicates that when food is metabolized, it leaves certain chemical and metallic residues, which when combined with our body fluids, yields either acid or alkali potentials of pH. Certain foods are “acid-forming” in nature while others are “alkali-forming”.
Which Foods Are Acid Forming and Which are Alkaline Forming?
Most high protein foods (such as meat, fish, poultry and eggs), nearly all carbohydrates (including grains, breads and pastas) and fats are “acid-forming”. Most fruits and vegetables are “alkaline-forming”. Although citrus fruits contain organic acids they are not acid forming when metabolized and leave no acidic residue. This is why fruits are the only things that can be eaten during the elimination phase. (Eating on the Wheel)
