Remember the litmus test from high school chemistry lab? You stuck asmall strip of litmus paper into a solution, and if it turned red, itmeant the solution was acidic. If it turned blue, the solution wasbasic (alkaline). Well, the body has its own sort of litmustest: It�s called your pH level. And many health care professionalsconsider a balanced pH level to be the key to good health. Theterm pH stands for Potential Hydrogen, which is the concentration ofhydrogen ions in a substance or solution. The pH range is 0 to 14.Human blood pH is ideally 7.35. Higher numbers indicate alkalinity;lower numbers indicate acidity. Constricted muscles Thebody simply cannot tolerate extended acid imbalances. In the earlystages of an imbalance, symptoms may include such things as skineruptions, headaches, allergies, colds and flu, and sinus problems. Asthings get further out of kilter, weakened systems start to give way.If tissue pH deviates too far to the acid side, oxygen levels decreaseand cells die. On the other side of the coin, it is virtuallyimpossible for a health disorder or disease to sustain itself when yourpH is in the neutral zone (7.0-7.4). At this level, the body has astrong immunity to diseases. Most Americans, however, have a pH levelof 6.2 to 6.4. When your pH is out of the normal range, allsorts of bad things happen. For one thing, disease-producing organismsthrive. This explains why some people exposed to certain bacteria orviruses get sick while others don't. Acidic conditions can cause muscles to constrict and inhibit the exchange of nutrients and waste products in muscle cells, causing fatigue, soreness, and pain.In fact, a pH imbalance affects all cellular activity in the body andcan lead to a wide range of degenerative diseases and symptoms. Amongother things, acidic blood blocks vitamin absorption, creates toxicbuildup in clogged cells, slows organ function, prevents properdigestion, creates excess gas and bloating, causes unhealthy weight gain, and speeds the aging process. WhenpH is lower than 7.0, aging is accelerated because natural acid saltsbuild up in the walls of your cells, causing them to stiffen and dryup. By the same token, aging is slowed when acid waste is removed fromthe body. How it happens Diet and stressful lifestyle can directly affect the pH levels of all body fluids, which determines how well your immune system functions. A weakened immune system, of course, means low resistance to infections. High acid also allows LDL-cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) to build up faster in your arteries, damaging artery walls and creating plaque buildup. High acidityenters your body when you eat processed foods, pre-packaged foods,sugary foods, pastas, dairy products (milk, cheese, ice cream, etc.),alcoholic beverages, drugs, table salt. Meats also promoteacidity. Stressplays a significant role in creating excess acid. This is why Type Apersonalities�who tend to live in a perpetual state of tension andrigidity�are prone to develop acidic conditions. If you don�t getenough sleep or exercise or face life-changing events�loss of a job,divorce, moving to a new city, etc.�your body probably has more acidthan it can handle. Restoring the balance Moderate changes in your diet can help restore your pH balance. For starters, try eating more fresh fruits and vegetables,almonds, and yogurt. And go lighter on cheeses, soft drinks, alcohol,processed foods, and sweeteners (use raw honey instead). Roughly 75percent of your diet should consist of alkaline-producing foods. If these dietary changes seem too oppressive, you might consider taking alkaline supplements.One recent study looked at whether supplementation with alkalineminerals would influence symptoms in patients with chronic low back pain.Researchers gave 82 such patients 30 grams of a lactose-based alkalinemineral supplement (Basica) daily over a period of four weeks inaddition to their medication. Pain symptoms were measured using the Arbus Low Back Pain Rating Scale. Average painscores significantly dropped by 49 percent, total blood bufferingcapacity was significantly improved, and blood pH increased. Theconclusion: an unbalanced pH level may contribute to the symptoms oflowback pain. To lower your stress level, which will help putyour pH reading in the normal range, you may want to try deep-breathingexercises and eating alkaline foodsor what ever type of relaxation technique works for you. Moderateexercise�even walking 10 minutes a day�can also go a long way towardreducing stress and restoring balance, the key to good health.
