Do you know? Do you know what that means? Moat people do not, yet they will say that they have heard this question before and do know that they should be more alkaline than acidic. Yet, when you ask people what acidic means, they do not really know. The pH balance of your body indicates the state of your health. Most people with their condition on the alkaline side feel healthy, full of energy and vitality, while those battling acidity feel sluggish and unhealthy. The trouble is that most people feel comfort in their discomfort . My thoughts on that is that they just used to the way they feel, so that they have no idea how much better they can feel. Does this make any sense? Those that recognize this lack of energy and balance are the lucky ones because this condition can be corrected through diet before more serious symptoms set in. IF the state of acidity is not corrected all kinds of ailments will arise. Acid related conditions include rheumatic pain,arthritis, indigestion,constipation,irritable bowel syndrome, Chron,s etc.. There is a saying “cancer loves to live in an acidic environment”.
There are several ways to test your pH -some tests more reliable than others. As a naturopath, I can tell instantly if someone’s pH is off -most people are. You can see the state of anyones health in their skin (the largest channel of elimination), hair, eyes and overall stamina. The good news is, is that with a change in diet, thinking , and exercise, the shift can be made easily over time.
