So
what's all the shake up about anyway?.
To put it to you
straight your body's ''pH'' is everything "Life
Itself".
If you ask most people about ''pH'' what do
you think they associate it to?
With women chances are
there subconscious has been programed with hair care and the
importance of ''pH'' for a fuller & stronger head of hair.
Men's associations are different, most men understand less
about hair care, but more about ''pH'' levels of water. A
prime example would be a 'swimming' pool man. His job is to
check the ''pH'' levels of the water, so it's safe for others
to swim.
An accurate association we all should adopt is
the fish story! You may ask what's the fish story all about?
Well, Lets say you have a fish tank full of fish. One day you
come home to find all your once healthy fish have died. What
do you do? Get rid of the fish tank and buy a cat? Buy more
fish and hope they live longer than the last ones.
Whats
the answer?
Change the water and clean up the fishes
environment. You maybe asking how does this story relate to
me? Well, think of the fish as your body and their water is
your blood that your cells and organs bathe in. Now imagine
you subject your body's internal fluids every day to toxins
and acids from smoking, drugs, excessive intake of foods &
the wrong kinds of foods. (Acid producing foods like Dairy,
soda's, coffee, sugar and animal proteins). The over
consumption of acid forming foods, and any number of
transgressions which will compromise the delicate balance of
our internal alkaline fluids.
A chronically over acidic
''pH'' corrodes body tissue, slowly eating into 60,000 miles
of veins and arteries like acid eating through marble. If left
unchecked, it will interrupt all cellular activities and
functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing
of your brain. Overacidifcation interferes with life itself,
leading to all sickness and disease.
How do we prevent
this from happening?
We must first understand the two most
important numbers of the body. The first one is the delicate
temperature of the body, 98.6 percent, Lets say that are body
temperature heats up only 4-6 degrees, what happens? We get
very sick and if not lowered there is a good chance we could
die (burn up from the inside out.)
The other number we
must focus on is are ''pH'' level. To be healthy it must be
maintained at 7.356 on a 'pH' scale of 0-14."0" being total
acid (Death) and 14 being total alkaline also fatal.
pH
definition
pH is the measurement of hydrogen
ions. Increased hydrogen ions (less bonding) result in a drop
of the pH (more acidic water), while a decrease results in a
pH rise.
pH = power of hydrogen.
pH is measured
on a scale from 0-14. The neutral value is 7, while values
below are more acidic (towards a car battery) and values above
7 more basic (towards dish soap).
pH has a logarithmic
function (mathematical - meaning ten-fold). In other words, a
change in pH from 7 to 6 means 10 times more acidic water. A
further drop to a pH of 5 equals 100 times more acidic water
So for our bodies and organs to work at
their optimum efficiency we must be at 7.365 ''pH'' level. At
this point you may be thinking this is to technical! To be
honest it's very easy. First you need to ask yourself a few
questions. Am I unhappy with how I look? How I feel or am I
aging to fast? If the answer to anyone or all of these
questions is yes, you now have the motivation to change.
The key to making this kind of program work for you is to
decide that how you are feeling or how you are looking is no
longer exceptable and you will do what ever it takes to create
your new outcome.
You may be saying this type of program
makes sense (Internal health.) I am also motivated to make it
happen, but how do I know when my ''pH'' is at a healthy
level? The first way to know is to go out and buy ''pH''
strips at your local drug store or health food store. Make
sure you use them on an empty stomach in the morning to get an
accurate reading. The other way is to follow an alkaline diet.
What kinds of foods can I eat?
Now remember, don't think
you have to change everything over night. The plan I used was
the gradual pHase, where I added green foods & green
supplements slowly. Asparagus, spinach, celery, cauliflower,
soy sprouts, carrots, High protein lentils, tofu & almonds
to list a few. Before I new it I was craving them all the
time.
After three months on green & alkaline foods and
an outstanding green drink product called Supergreens by
Innerlight I felt like a new man in his 20's, not bad for a
man 40 plus.
My other great surprise was that I developed
better tone & muscle than I had on a typical bodybuilding
diet that I had been on previously.
In life we are so busy
making a living that we lose what the real purpose of life is.
Part of your purpose is to create the body & energy that
can take you to the mountain top of success. As long as you
focus on being better than you are at this moment, no matter
how good it is, all of life's rewards will be yours for the
taking.
