PH Balance

Alkalinity in the Human Body - Part 2

Deana Sicari's picture

Duty calls to explain acid metabolism and alkalinity from the chemical prospectus. Yeast, fungus, mold, and viruses can only survive in an acid base; they cannot survive in an alkaline base. There must be a compatible ratio between alkaline and acid foods consumed in one’s diet. Attainment of proper PH results in stifling the aforementioned single cell antagonistic properties. The ideal ratio is four parts alkaline to one acid, which creates the alkaline environment in the body to maintain a healthy PH balance (homeostasis) and equals 7.365. "PH refers to the relative concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution and low PH values indicate higher concentrations of hydrogen ions or acids, and high PH values indicate low concentrations of hydrogen ions or alkaline" (Synderhealth, 2008). An example is 2.5 is acidic versus 9.5 which is alkaline.

So, what if the you learned that practically all water and hydration formulas measure a five on the PH scale? When you work out, did you know that you automatically become acidic due to the oxygen exchanges and protein catabolism? Drinking acidic hydration replacements and water both further your mild acidosis, resulting in problems with fatigue, weight loss, and create issues with vitamin and mineral absorption and exchange. What do you do?
