pH and Your Body

How Do We Achieve 7.4? 

Everything around you has a chance of sending the pH in the body out of balance. Things that can affect this are; foods, drinks, environment, exercise, stress, toxins, etc. If your body becomes imbalanced, it will put the body at risk of disease. When your body becomes too acidic, it will use water, potassium, magnesium, and calcium stored to help restore balance.  

To ensure we can stay in the healthy range on the pH scale, we want to eat a balanced diet and give the body the minerals it needs to balance. Here's how to do that!

Increase your diet to 70% alkaline foods.
