acidtoalkaline 300x148 Acid 2 Alkaline Formula ReviewTry as we might to bring our bodies into a more alkaline state, there are periods where we will inevitably find it challenging to achieve our alkalinity goals.

High acidity robs our body of important nutrients resulting in acidosis and an imbalance within. Aside from lifestyle and diet, there are other contributors to high acidity and reduced alkalinity in the body.

  • Large amounts of over the counter medication. Medicine is acidic and so our already acidic bodies have to work even harder to overcome the additional acids from medicines.

  • Over cooking your vegetables – heating them to over 105 degrees. This robs them of the alkaline benefits.

  • Eating non-organic fruits and vegetables. These contain pesticides, herbicides and chemicals that are acidic to our bodies. Tip: wash your fruits and vegetables in 11.5ph water to remove all traces of any chemicals, herbicides, pesticides and chlorine. 11.5ph water is an emulsifier of oil and chemical based substances.

  • Excessive amounts of vitamin C. If you must take vitamin C supplements, I recommend non-acid forming vitamin C (whole food base).

Effects of acidosis are:

Arthritis, insomnia, migraine headaches, acid or strong perspiration, alternating constipation and diarrhea, burning sensation in the mouth, sensitive teeth to acidic fruits, diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, bumps on the tongue, foul smelling stools, water retention, adrenal disorders, stomach ulcers, obesity, ketosis, anger, stress, anorexia, toxemia and fever amongst other symptoms.

For me, during periods of stress (physical, emotional or mental), I see a noticeable difference in how my body reacts to the increase in acidity caused by the stress. I’m on a more natural and alkaline diet today vs. my past but at the same time, I am starting to exercise more so I needed to find an extra alkaline source to help me maintain balance.

Someone pointed me to RemediesDirect and suggested I try their Acid 2 Alkaline Formula supplements. I ordered some and found them to be just what I needed to assist with getting through those periods of increased acidity. I started out taking 6 capsules a day and am not down to 3 but what I like about them is they provide a balanced source of alkaline complexes such as foods & herbs, sea greens and seed & grains.

If you do not have access to a good source of alkaline water, you may want to consider the powder based formulas.

An Acidic Body Corrodes From The Inside

Posted by on September 23, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

One of the main conditions that weakens all body systems is excess acidity. Because of this excess acidity our bodies are forced to borrow minerals from our bones and vital organs, minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium as well as calcium, in order to neutralize (buffer) the acids as a way of safely removing them from our bodies. As a result, many of us endure prolonged and severe ‘corrosion’ due to high acidity and unfortunately, this condition usually goes undetected for many years. 0 An Acidic Body Corrodes From The Inside

Because of the way we live, what we eat and our environments & lifestyle choices, virtually everyone in our society is affected. The result – an internal environment where disease manifests itself easily. In comparison, a pH-balanced alkaline environment allows normal bodily functions that are necessary for us to resist disease.

In a normal healthy body, the alkaline reserves are sufficiently maintained to meet any emergency demands. However when excess acids must be neutralized on a continual basis, we deplete our alkaline reserves, leaving us weakened and disease-prone.

The reality is there are very few of us who are capable physically of ridding our bodies of all the acidity created from the foods we eat, the stress of daily life and even from our metabolic functions.

This results in an accumulation of acid (toxic) waste within us down to the cellular level.

Our bodies are mostly water – 60-70%. Our brain and our blood is closer to 90% water. Every function within the body depends on water – from transporting nutrients to removing wastes from our cells, everything depends on water. The main reason for toxic buildup is we simply do not drink enough of the right type of water to maintain normal bodily and cellular functions.

Experts recommend for proper bodily function in a normal state we must consume on a daily basis 1/2 to 3/4 ounce of water for every pound of body weight. A 200 lb person needs 100 ounces of water just to maintain the normal everyday functions of their body. Otherwise,our body will help itself to the water it needs from other parts – vital organs, bone, skin, etc…

It is my hope that in reading this you will gain a basic understanding of the important role water plays in our bodies and at the very least choose to start drinking more water today!

Wishing you health and wellness.
