Balancing Simplified
Understanding pH
PH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The lower the pH number, the more acidic the solution is.
The higher a pH number, the more alkaline the solution is. (p.2) An imbalance in the body's pH may lead to serious health concerns, including:
*Hormone concerns. *Cardiovascular weakness. *Weight gain/loss. *Bladder and kidney concerns.*Immune deficiency. *Acceleration of free radical damage. *Structural system weakness, including brittle bones, hip fractures and joint discomfort. *Stressed liver function. *Low energy. *Slow digestion and elimination. *Yeast/fungal overgrowth. (p.4)
A recent study conducted at the University of California-San Francisco on 9,704 post-menopausal women showed that those who have higher acidity levels (also called chronic acidosis) from a diet rich in animal foods are at greater Risk for lower bone density levels than those who have "normal" pH levels. The researchers who carried out this study Hypothesized that many of the hip fractures prevalent among older women correlated to higher acidity from a diet rich in animal foods and low in vegetables . The body apparently borrows calcium from the bones in order to balance pH,
and this calcium borrowing may result in a decrease in bone density. _______American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Jan. 2001, Vol.73, No. 1, pp. 118-122.
