Sorry for this shocking, powerful headline. And it is true on a chemical level. Our blood must be always alkaline otherwise we die instantly.
Nevertheless some MDs claim that “The Alkaline LifeStyle” is nonsense because the body itself has many different pH-levels and is able to buffer any diet (acid or alkaline).
Yes, the body is able to buffer any diet for a certain amount of time. But it comes with a cost to it.
Of course our body, the biochemical miracle, is able to deal with for instance a strong black coffee (which has a 10.000 times more acidic pH-level that our blood) and it is able to buffer it. But buffering actually means that the body is neutralizing the acidity of the coffee in a chemical reaction using organic minerals out of our mineral deposits (bones, skin, scalp and teeth).
So in living the “I do not care what I eat/drink” acidic life style with no exercise and lots of stress I basically long term exploit my body via demineralization which causes lots of diseases.
I love the simplistic comparison of your body with a bank account: Either you choose to deposit youth and health via alkaline life style (green, mineral rich diet/exercise/good sleep/positive attitude) or you deploit your health via acidic life style.
Our blood – why is it so important?
(by lifebloodonline)
Our blood could be viewed as the river of life; it is the substance that carries oxygen, water and nutrients to all your organs and tissues.
It therefore makes perfect sense, that imbalances seen in the blood will affect the organs and tissues, leading to malfunction and imbalance. Read more…
Why Alkalize?
A seven-year study conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, on 9,000 women showed that those who have chronic acidosis are at greater risk for bone loss than those who have normal pH levels.
Many of the hip fractures among middle-aged women are connected to high acidity caused by a diet rich in animal foods and low in vegetables. – American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
“The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause…too much tissue acid waste in the body!” – Dr. Theodore A. Baroody in his remarkable book Alkalize or Die. Read more…..
