Numerous times, I’ve discussed how chronic disease in the United States is at an all time high. I’ve also discussed the dangers of processed foods.
Today I will discuss a simple way to counter chronic disease which will allow you to live a long healthy life. All you have to do is learn how to alkaline your body.
The majority of foods we eat, once digested, absorbed and metabolized release either an acid or an alkaline base into the blood
The PH level of the blood let’s us know if we’re acidic or alkaline.
Your PH stands for potential for health. PH ranges from 0-6.9, which is acidic, to 7-14 which is alkaline. For the body to function at it’s highest level it must be able to balance the acid and the alkaline. The ideal PH level at which this balance takes place is 7.36-7.44. The reason you need some acid in your body is due to the fact some parts of the body require acid such as the digestive system.
Below I have included a list of acidic foods and alkaline foods as well as a powerful video which explains exactly why you need to alkaline your body.
