Acidosis

By P G Mair

Research has shown that people that have higher acidity levels in there blood are more likely to be ill, than those with a more alkaline level. The reason for this is that

Many foods are alkaline-producing by nature, but manufactured processed foods are mostly acid-producing. It is important to consume at least 60% alkaline-producing foods in our diet, in order to maintain health. We need plenty of fresh fruits and particularly vegetables (alkaline-producing) to balance our necessary protein intake (acid-producing). And we need to avoid processed, sugary or simple-carbohydrate foods, not only because they are acid-producing but also because they raise blood sugar level too quickly (high glycemic index therefore fattening); plus they tend to be nutrient-lacking and may be toxic too.

Human blood pH should be slightly alkaline (7.35 - 7.45). Below or above this range means symptoms and disease. If blood pH moves below 6.8 or above 7.8, cells stop functioning and the body dies. The body therefore continually strives to balance pH. . An imbalanced diet high in acidic-producing foods such as animal protein, sugar, caffeine, and processed foods puts pressure on the body's regulating systems to maintain pH neutrality. The extra buffering required can deplete the body of alkaline minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, making the person prone to chronic and degenerative disease. Minerals are borrowed from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage--a condition that may go undetected for years.

When this balance is compromised many problems can occur.

A condition called acidosis : Acidosis is the outcome when our pH becomes overly acid. The pH balance of our internal cells and fluids can effect every process in our body. Of these fluids, the blood is perhaps the most important. In a similar way that you body will do whatever it takes to regulate your body temperature, it will also do the same to ensure a slightly alkaline pH in the blood. The body will literally go to whatever lengths necessary to ensure that the blood retains this pH level, including wreaking havoc on other tissues, bodily functions and systems Some of the problems caused by acidosis are,

Cardiovascular damage, Weight gain, obesity and diabetes, Bladder conditions, Kidney stones, Immune deficiency, Acceleration of free radical damage.(cause of cancer), Hormonal problems, Premature aging, Osteoporosis and joint pain, Aching muscles and lactic acid build up, Low energy and chronic fatigue, Slow digestion and elimination, Yeast/fungal overgrowth, Lack of energy and fatigue, Lower body temperature, Tendency to get infections, Loss of drive, joy, and enthusiasm, Depressive tendencies, Easily stressed, Pale complexion, Headaches, Inflammation of the corneas and eyelids.
