Internal Biochemical pH Management

First let me say the human body knows how to be healthy. It was created and programmed with a vibrant health mandate. The problems occur when we consume unhealthy agents and practice unhealthy habits. How long would your car run if you never changed the oil or put the wrong polluted fuel in it all the time? The answer is your car wouldn’t serve you very well. You body is a much more dynamic machine than your car but it to will fail if it is abused constantly. This is exactly what we do when we live in polluted environments, eat the wrong foods and subject ourselves to constant emotional stress. While it many be difficult to change our environment we can control to a large extent what we regularly consume.

The consumption of raw, fresh, live fruits and vegetables is not only the most nutritious diet but serves to keep the negative byproducts (acid forming chemistry) of respiration, digestion and emotional turmoil, in balance to maintain ultimate health. Let me say that again, consuming fresh, live food is the way to manage internal biochemistry and become ultimately healthy.

Most folks that consume the standard American, meat based diet (SAD), have an internal biochemical pH around 5.5-6.5 which is extremely acid. This very acid pH will eventually lead to many of the illnesses and diseases common in American society today. Internal acidosis (low pH) creates an internal biochemical environment ideal for pathogenic proliferation, illness and disease. Human blood struggles constantly to maintain a pH of 7.365. This is the body’s perfect pH slightly alkaline. If all body fluids remained at this pH the body would remain ultimately healthy. The problem is most all the body’s natural biochemical reactions create excess acid and lower internal pH. In short the body is constantly attempting to adjust natural body chemistry back to 7.365 and ultimate health.

If we consume alkaline forming foods we dramatically assist the body onto maintaining a healthy pH range. When the body is in the proper pH range the body’s natural rejuvenating and reparative properties as well as the boy’s natural defense, immune system are working at optimum levels.

The trick is to monitor your pH frequently to know when internal acid is forming. Excess internal acids usually form after eating (digestion), strenuous exercise (respiration) and/or emotional turmoil. Consuming live, alkaline forming foods will help raise internal pH into the optimum rang. It is important to understand the simple task of proper internal biochemistry management is the most effective way to attain and maintain ultimate human health.

The solutions to the above problem are;
1. Monitor your pH to know when it turns acid.
2. Consume live alkaline forming foods to raise pH into optimum rang.
