Rid Your Body of Over-Acidic State

With 6 out of 10 American adults overweight and acidic, they are not aware that many of the foods they regularly consume  negatively affect their alkaline body balance. The human body is a natural alkaline environment but eating an overly acidic diet, affects the body’s healthy pH balance making it susceptible for illness and disease.

The body has a normal pH level at 7.35 to 7.45 and when the acidity is high, it results to sickness and diseases. You will notice that people who have high acidity levels also have dry skin and develop colds and flu symptoms often. High acidity is caused by factors such as eating acidic foods like processed foods and meat, stressful environments and lack of oxygen.

Below are the top 10 Secrets To Alkalizing Your Body, balancing your body's natural pH level.

The best way to support a healthy acidic-alkaline balance within the body is to consume diet that is composed of 50% to 80% alkaline foods. Limiting acidic foods to less than half of one’s diet will improve acid-alkaline balance.
