Acidic food excess can cause chronic illnesses.
Our body pH is maintained just above 7.0 for optimal health. When we keep this pH, our metabolism, enzymes, immune system, and repair mechanisms work most effectively. When our pH is kept at this level, it indicates that we have enough buffering minerals to balance the acids in our body.
Imagine your body and its fluids are like the water in a pool. When you open up the pool for the first time in the summer you are likely to find fungus, mold, bacteria and other living organisms. This is likely do to pool levels like PH being out of range. Much like the pool, if the body’s PH is out of balance, meaning too acidic, then it will allow unwanted organisms to grow and immune function will be suppressed while your body is desperately trying to maintain alkalinity.
