The body has a specific acid-alkaline balance that it needs to maintain, failing which it will start to manifest all kinds of bad symptoms. I just learned this recently.
You see, the body must always be slightly alkaline. A pH of roughly 7.1 or 7.2 is needed for good health. But, most people have an acidic pH instead, which is BAD for health.
That’s probably why cancer, athritis, gout, and so many other health problems are on the rise. How come our ancestors did not have so many health problems? Was it because they ate a lot of fruits and plant material, which usually contributes to an alkaline body pH value?
It seems cows that graze on grass will instinctively avoid grass growing on alkaline soil, and will always prefer grass growing on acidic soil instead. Today’s diet is loaded with protein, which many think is the way to go, but such excessive protein also creates an acidic situation in the body, leading to many potential health problems.
That’s why you should be eating lots of fruits, especially citrus fruits. The paradox is that acidic foods make the body alkaline, while alkaline foods make the body acidic. Listen to your body the next time; is it craving for acidic foods? If yes, then it’s likely your body is already too acidic and needs to be made more alkaline.
