Have you ever
wondered why some people are always full of energy, always on the
go, don't need a lot of sleep and are rarely if ever sick. One
reason may just be body chemistry. So, what is body chemistry and
how do you measure and control it?
Is your system
alkaline enough?
A
slightly alkaline blood pH is essential to our existence and well
being. Nearly all of our physiological functions, including immune
system, cardiovascular and digestive functions including most of our
enzyme and metabolic processes require that our bodily pH is
slightly alkaline. Research has shown that people that the proper
alkalinity are healthier and more energetic!
Is your system too
acidic?
An overly acidic
system could lead to symptoms like lack of energy, fatigue,
digestive disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, allergies,
respiratory ailments, depression, colds, flu and other chronic
illness. Most Americans have poor diets consisting of foods that are
highly acidic or result in acidic residues after digestion. Foods
that are; processed, fried, high in sugar/animal proteins,
antibiotics, hormones cause acidity. In addition to foods, stress,
mental, physical and environmental can cause acidic reactions.
What foods are
best?
You can easily
control the acid/alkalinity component in diet by eating the proper
foods. Fresh green vegetables, organic choices, fish and poultry
instead of red meats, plant based proteins and whole grain products.
Another solution is to use
dietary supplements
designed to increase
alkalinity.
Take
a Break-get healthy
Food/diet is only
one component of wellness. Deep, controlled breathing and regular
exercise greatly aids in oxygenating the blood, which promotes
alkalinity. Meditation, relaxation and perception are also key
ingredients in this process.
Control &
Measure your body chemistry pH
pH
(potential of hydrogen) is the measure the of balance between positively and
negatively charged ions in the body fluids, blood, urine and saliva. A low
pH number below 7 indicates that your body fluid is on the acidic side,
above 7 indicates it on the alkaline side, 7 is neutral.
