Why is the western world so fat and sick? This video describes the bodies constant fight to balance out the pH. Our blood is needs to be between 7.35-7.45 pH, slightly alkaline. The body draws nutrients from the food it digests, which either acidify or alkalise the blood. When there is not enough nutrients to keep the blood slightly alkaline, the body leaches minerals from the bones and other places. For example, calcium is drawn from the bones to counteract all the calcium rich dairy consumed!
Stomach acid is 1 on the scale. Soft drinks, 2.5. Coffee, 3. Blood, 7.35-.45. Sea water, 8.5. Baking soda, 12.
Diets high in animal products and caffeinated drinks are very acid forming, opposed to fruits and vegetables which alkalise. The high water content, vitamins and minerals in fruit and vegetables help to alkalise and balance the pH in the body. They take roughly and hour to digest, compared to a piece of meat which can take days!
