Knowing When You are Acidic
Everything we consume creates either an acid or alkaline ash in the body. A balance between the two is essential in maintaining good health. The body has natural mechanisms to eliminate acids. It can handle the natural acids created by the body. However, the extra acidity created by a poor diet causes the body systems to be overwhelmed with acidic waste.
You may be surprised to find out how many diseases and a variety of physical problems start from acidity. Today's diet and lifestyle has led to the majority of the world's population being over-acidic. Degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis, cancers, arthritis, and many more are primarily due to acidosis. The Japanese have been using alkaline water for years to treat such conditions and have been having success in helping people overcome their illness, and further through prevention.
