Acidic blood (having low pH levels) can create cause toxic and acidic waste (acidosis). This is a mostly unknown and dangerously destructive circumstance because it can lead to chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Serious health problems such as low energy, unwanted weight gain, poor athletic performance and accelerated aging, inflammation and auto-immune disorders can be potentially increased as well.
The bottom line is when your blood has an acidic pH, your body may be silently torn apart day by day to become more and more susceptible these insidious degenerative diseases. When you manage an alkaline pH daily and at minimum drink a lot of pure water, your body can rebuild, repair, rejuvenate and remain young!
pH affects health in EVERY WAY
To function properly, cells need to remain slightly alkaline. The problem faced by most people is that we tend to maintain a high degree of acidity. Our fitness, or lack thereof, oftentimes plays a role, as do such factors as illness, certain medications, and stress. In terms of diet, high-fat, high-protein junk food (think Whoppers, Big Mac's, etc.), as well as refined sugars, trigger a response in the stomach, causing it to release a greater amount of acidic digestive fluids.
What is inside your body?
Red blood cells are how oxygen is transported to all the cells in your body.
As red blood cells move into the tiny, little, capillaries, the space they have to move through gets pretty small. In fact, the diameter of the capillaries gets so small that the red blood cells sometimes have to pass through these capillaries one red blood cell at a time!
Because of this, and because it's important for the red blood cells to be able to flow easily and quickly through your body, they have a mechanism that allows them to remain separate from each other. This mechanism comes in the form of the outside of healthy red blood cells having a negative charge. This causes them to stay apart from each other, sort of like when you try to push the negative ends of two magnets together. They resist each other and stay apart.
Unfortunately, acid interferes with this very important mechanism in a pretty frightening way. Acid actually strips away the negative charge from red blood cells. The result is that your red blood cells then tend to clump together and not flow as easily. This makes it much more difficult for them to flow easily through the bloodstream.
But it also makes it harder for them to move freely through those small capillaries. This means less oxygen gets to your cells. Acid also weakens the red blood cells and they begin to die. And guess what they release into your system when they die? More acid.
