Acidity in the Body

The American diet is extremely acidic.

• Meat (including beef , pork , chicken and turkey ) is acidic.
• Dairy (such as milk , butter and cheese ) is acidic.
• Grains (such as rice and barley ) are acidic.
• Beverages such coffee , tea , and soft drinks are very acidic.
• Fruit and fruit juices contain high concentrations of acid.
• Simple carbohydrates such as potatoes , pasta , and bread contain large amounts of acids.

Acidity in the body is related to disease.

• Acid reflux is a painful condition that occurs when acidic stomach liquid backs up (refluxes) into the esophagus, causing irritation, inflammation and damage to the lining of the esophagus
• High cholesterol occurs when the body produces excessive amounts of cholesterol to neutralize large amounts of acids in the blood stream before they damage living cells.
• Heart disease is the result of a build-up of cholesterol in the coronary arteries that reduces the blood flow to the heart muscle. As stated above, cholesterol forms to product the arterial wall from acidity in the blood.
• Fat is produced by the body to trap and neutralize acidic waste in the body. As Dr. Robert O. Young, author of The pH Miracle for Weight Loss , puts it, "The body retains fat as a protection against the overproduction of acids produced by the typical American diet....Your fat is actually saving your life."
• Inflammatory related diseases such as allergies, arthritis, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, and even stroke are related to low-grade metabolic acidosis.

Drinking alkaline water can help restore your body's pH balance and reduce its acidity.
