Our body’s pH is linked to many diseases. Do you know if your pH levels are good?
Unfortunately, most Americans pH balance is not good our body requires a slight alkaline condition to function properly. As Americans, most of ours is predominately acidic due to our diet. It is way easier to keep our bodies acidic than alkaline because when our bodies are at an acidic level it borrows materials such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium from our vital organs and bones to neutralize the acid and get rid of it. This is what sometimes causes osteoporosis and arthritis.
Did you know if your pH levels are not normal you could have a greater risk of bone loss? This was determined in a 7-year study at the University of California. Nine thousand women all middle aged were studies and the study concluded many of these women were having bone fractures. Turns out that many of these fractures were connected to the acidic pH levels in their body. According to this study, our diet consists of too much animal food and too fewer vegetables.
