Now what is this pH thing and how important is it REALLY?

 

With the change of seasons, I would like to assist you in being prepared with your body. How do we do that? Our immune system needs a boost to get and sustain health. Health and disease prevention come from the body being in a state of alkalinity.

We measure alkalinity with what are called pH strips. The pH scale is based on a range of Total Acid being 0 to Total Alkaline being +14.

ACID 0---------------7.0--------------- +14 ALKALINE

pH balanced is 7.0, in the middle, which is representative of pH balanced shampoo you may use. More acidic shampoo would cause frizziness and more alkaline would cause limp hair. Our bodies are just as sensitive as our hair to a small deviation from the ideal for our body, which is 7.2 - 7.5.

It was over 75 yrs ago when Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery that cancer is caused by weakened cell respiration due to lack of oxygen at the cellular level. Damaged cell respiration causes fermentation in the body, resulting in a low pH (acidity) at the cellular level.

The lactic acid produced by fermentation lowers pH (acid/alkaline balance).

What does this mean? Cancer and disease thrives in anaerobic (without oxygen) or acidic conditions. The main cause of cancer and disease is acidity of the body or acidosis. Doesn't it make you wonder why this discovery is so important to award a Nobel Prize that everyone doesn't know what pH is and how to sustain a healthy pH?

Now that you have heard what happens when we have acidic bodies and no oxygen in our cells, but what can we expect when we have healthy, mineral enriched, oxygenated bodies?

• More energy! Increased oxygen in the body gives you energy to do the many things you want to do instead of feeling lethargic.
  
• Better sleep.
  
• Your body runs efficiently. When the body's natural defense mechanism is running at optimum level it dramatically reduces the occurrence of allergy and disease.
  
• A healthy immune system ~ the basis of prevention of disease

To your healthy pH!
