A Properly pH Balanced Body
Is Best For Your Health

What is pH Balance for our body?
Ideally, our body should carry a balanced pH (potential of hydrogen) of around 7.0.  Typically, our body pH should be near 6.8 7.0.
The (relative) desired neutral pH of the body is not to be confused with the pH of the blood.  The blood pH should be 7.365 and will be found with a range of 7.25 to 7.45.  The blood is very adamant about keeping it's proper pH level for optimum function.  Whenever anything enters the blood that is outside this range, the blood will force the substance into surrounding tissue.  This is how acid waste tends to collect near and around joints and organs.

Acidic pH will disrupt enzymes 
The more acidic a person is, the more prone they are to disease.  An acid environment in the body is a hot bed for disease.  An overly acidic environment in the body doesn't cause any disease.  The matter is that the acidic environment allows disease to thrive.
On a basic fundamental level, a extreme lowering of pH in the body will cause many enymatic functions to stop.  Essential cellular metabolism will be at high risk.  Without the important functions of enzymatic activity in the body, life will also cease. 

Mineral absorption will be compromized in an acidic enviroment 
Over acidity also interferes with mineral absorption.  Calcium, for example, is very difficult to absorb in an acidic environment.  A proper balanced pH in the body is even more critical for the absorption if iodine.  The body pH needs to be almost perfect for it to absorb iodine.  An chronic acidic environment in the body will force the body to take alkalizing mineral such as calcium from our bones and vital organs to neutralized the acids and safely expose of them from the body.

Fats store acidic toxins
To protect itself from acid wastes, the body will create fatty deposits (cholesterol) to safely store these toxins from vital organs and their functions.
To make matters worse, acidity can coaulate blood and clog up tiny capillaries.
In an acidic environment, there is a lack of oxygen.  This can cause the spread of anaerobic microforms.  The body will become a home for germs, fungus and viruses.  A slightly alkaline blood pH ensures that micro-organisms will be in harmony with our body functions.

An interesting point is that our body cells are slightly acidic on the inside.  And the surrounding interstitial fluid around this is slightly alkaline.  This variance creates a polarity that is essential proper chemical and energy exchange to take place.
