Just as your body must maintain its temperature, it must also maintain its pH level. Like most living things on earth, the body must have a balanced pH or it will not function properly.
The body will do everything it can to preserve that, even wreaking havoc on other tissues or systems.
If your body’s pH is not balanced, you will not be able to efficiently assimilate vitamins, minerals, and food supplements. The pH of your body affects everything.
One of the many functions of the liver is to process acidic toxins from the blood and produce numerous alkaline enzymes for the system and it is your first line of defense against any poison.
All nutrition obtained through the gastrointestinal tract enters the blood through the liver. The burden on the liver is much heavier when acidic waste products constantly float in the blood.
Our bodies simply cannot fight disease if our body’s pH is not properly balanced.
Human blood is kept in a very narrow pH range between 7.35 and 7.45. Below or above this range means symptoms and illness. If the pH of the blood moves too much below 6.8 or above 7.8, the cells stop working. The ideal blood pH balance is 7.4.
An acidic pH can occur from an acid-forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload and / or immune reactions, or any process that deprives cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will try to compensate for the acidic pH using alkaline minerals. If the diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, there will be a build-up of acids in the cells.
Ways to alkalize
One of the simplest and most effective ways to alkalize your system is with a glass of water with a lemon wedge.
It tastes great, it’s incredibly refreshing, and so easy to make.
In AF Beddoe’s book “Biological Ionization in Human Nutrition, the following liver benefits are attributed to the humble lemon.”
For. They provide a natural strengthening agent for liver enzymes when they are too diluted.
B. The liver can produce more enzymes from fresh lemon juice than any other food item.
vs. Lemon helps fix oxygen and calcium in the liver because it regulates carbohydrate levels in the blood that affect blood oxygen levels. ”
Jethro Kloss in his book Back to Eden, describes the medicinal value of lemon as follows: “It is an antiseptic or it is an agent that prevents sepsis. [the presence of pathogenic bacteria] gold rot [decomposition of tissue]. It is also antiscorbutic, a term that means a remedy that will prevent disease and help cleanse the system of impurities. “
Moderate exercise alkalizes the body. (Ideal yoga)
Excessive exercise (past the point of exhaustion) can create an acid problem due to the build-up of lactic acid. Acidic people generally feel worse from exercise because their detox organs are not working properly due to excess acid in their tissues. However, without exercise, acids and toxins are likely to build up.
Express yourself
All unexpressed negative emotions create an acidic environment. “It’s eating me up inside” Have you ever described a negative feeling or emotion in this way?
Suppressed anger and resentment, in particular, have been linked to the liver.
In Chinese medicine, the liver is the seat of anger and not only stores your anger, but also the anger of others, especially your parents. Toxic energy stored in the liver affects liver function. Anger damages the yin energy of the liver, resulting in a burst of yang energy from the liver. This increasing liver yang ascends to the heart and head, causing headaches, blurred vision, dizziness, and mental confusion. Irritability, short temper, and angry outbursts further damage the liver and create a cycle of destructive emotional energy and illness.
Love and understanding cleanse and heal the body by creating an alkaline environment within you.
It is important to eat a diet that contains both acidic and alkalizing foods. People vary, but for most, the ideal diet is 75 percent alkalizing and 25 percent acidifying (foods by volume).
Ideally 75% more alkaline foods
Almonds
Carrots
dates
Avacados
Limes
Coconuts
Celery
Cucumbers
Walnuts
Wheatgrass
Eat only 25% of acid-forming foods
Processed fats
Animal meats
Cow milk
Cheese
Coffee
Sugar
Bread
It is also recommended to supplement your diet with live vegetables.
There are several quality products available, but be sure to read the label and check the ingredient list.
Two of the ones I consider the best are
Inner Balance – Pure Energy Greens with msn and
In-Liven Probiotic Superfood
I personally use the Australian Made, In-liven. (available online from http://www.buyorganicshop.com)
Its main ingredients include organic spirulina, one of the richest and most complete sources of total organic nutrition in the world, alfalfa grass, a complete protein with vitamins A, B, C, D, E, F, K and rich in calcium. magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements. Organic barley grass that has an incredible concentration of minerals, vitamins, trace elements, proteins and live enzymes and organic wheatgrass that is extremely high in chlorophyll and has a molecular structure very similar to the hemoglobin of human blood. Chlorophyll is the blood of the plant and is extremely rich in nutrients.
The formula also contains the complete lactobacillius family.
Lactobacillius bacteria form an important part of the natural intestinal flora. Lactic acid-producing lactobacilli bacteria alter the pH level of the large intestine, making it less hospitable to undesirable bacteria, molds, mold spores, and yeasts, particularly Candida.
