Acidosis - Have You Heard of this Serious Health Threat?

Over-acidification of the body's tissues and fluids results, creating a low oxygen environment that saps our energy and makes us feel old.

If left unchecked, this condition spirals out of control, leaving our bodies vulnerable to illness and disease.

But once understood, acidosis is fully reversible through diet. If you want to balance your pH quickly and easily, check out these alkaline supplements from this excellent company, pHion.

How the body becomes acidic

The food or liquid that we consume has either an alkalizing or acidifying effect on our systems.

If you've read the page on body pH, you know that our cells are alkaline by nature but acidic by function.

Your cells must have a slightly alkaline environment to stay healthy and function optimally. But the metabolic activities of our cells create acid wastes.

So our bodies are always trying to clean out and neutralize these acids to keep an almost neutral environment (this is part of our natural body detox processes).

Giving your body the proper alkaline foods allows it to stockpile alkalizing minerals (like calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, manganese, phosphorous, chromium, selenium, and iron) that are capable of buffering acids.

Great examples are raw fruits, raw vegetables, and purified water.

Repeatedly eating too many acid forming foods and not enough alkaline forming foods depletes these mineral reserves. This is when you run into trouble and the process of acidosis begins.

When the body runs out of mineral reserves...

It really has no choice - these acids are toxic and would easily kill us if allowed into the blood stream.

Although this is not really borrowing, more like stealing because our bones and organs need those minerals.

Still, this is okay on a temporary basis.

But if you are still not eating those mineral-rich foods, our bodies continue to compensate.

Once leaching minerals from the body becomes insufficient, an emergency status is reached. Our bodies start storing the toxic acids in our fat cells in order to keep them away from vital organs.

Acidosis - the high acid, low oxygen environment

The problem continues to compound - more and more acids build up because our bodies become less and less efficient at removing them.

The increased acidic burden starves our body of oxygen. It also makes it difficult for the body's natural detoxification processes to function.

Before you know it, your cells are trying to survive in a toxic environment.

Yet these high-acid, low oxygen conditions are an inviting home for foreign invaders (like bacteria, viruses, candida, and parasites). These organisms produce even more acid, and can steal what little nutrition your body is still receiving.

Acidosis symptoms

Here are just some of the symptoms of an overly acidic body:

The misguided solution

These pills only mask the symptoms, and definitely do not address the cause behind them.

Another problem with medications is that they are very acidic to the body. So you end up in a worse position than when you started – even more acidic and even more sick.

Instead of resorting to pills, try to get your body's pH back on track. This will not only reverse these problems, but will give you back your energy and vibrant health.
