The term pH
stands for "potential" of "Hydrogen". It is the amount of hydrogen
ions in a particular solution. The more ions, the more acid the
solution. The fewer ions the more alkaline (base) the solution. pH
is measured on a scale of 0 to 14 with seven being neutral . The
lower the pH number the more acidic it is and the higher the number
the more alkaline. For example, a pH of 3 is more acidic than a pH
of 5 and a pH of 9 is more alkaline than a pH of 6.
As humans, a
normal pH of all tissues and fluids of the body (except the stomach)
is slightly alkaline. The most critical pH is in the blood. All
other organs and fluids will fluctuate in their range in order to
keep the blood a strict pH between 7.35 and 7.45 (slightly
alkaline). This process is called homeostasis. The body makes
constant adjustments in tissue and fluid pH to maintain this very
narrow pH range in the blood.
To be too acidic
in the body can have far reaching consequences. For example, if the
blood becomes too acidic the body will balance the pH at all costs.
This can lead to common symptoms which include but are not limited
to heart burn, acid reflux, indigestion, weight gain, difficulty
losing weight, poor metabolism, mineral deficiencies, constipation,
fatigue, brain fog, frequent urination, hypoglycemia, hormonal
imbalances, sore muscles and the list goes on.
Diet is probably
the most important change. Avoid the over consumption of meat,
alcohol, soft drinks, caffeine, coffee, most nuts, eggs, vinegar,
sauerkraut, ascorbic acid, pasteurized milk, cheese, white sugar and
medical drugs. Add more ripe fruit, vegetables, soy beans, bean
sprouts, water, raw milk, onions, figs, carrots, beets, miso,
calcium citrate and vitamin K to your diet. pH-Basic can greatly
contribute to balancing pH whether or not you decide to make such
adjustments.
