Every organ in the body is affected by acidity (https://livelovefruit.com/acidic-

foods-cause-chronic-disease/). Our lungs, bones, brain, heart, liver, kidneys,
stomach, intestines and skin. Bottom line – if your body is too acidic, then you’re
not going to be feeling that great.

When our bodies enter a state of acidosis, it becomes the perfect breeding
ground where illness and disease can easily manifest. A body that maintains its
alkaline set-point will have less chronic in ammation – one of the number one
causes of pretty much any disease
causes of pretty much any disease.

After a lifetime of consuming a Standard American Diet (SAD), the body remains
in a constant state of acidity. When the body is in a chronic acidic state, precious
minerals are removed from vital organs and bones to neutralize the acid and
remove it from the body. This is why we are seeing an up-rise in osteoporosis –
your bones are literally being leached of the precious minerals needed to protect
them (like calcium, sodium, magnesium, and potassium). Once these mineral
reserves are completely depleted, there are no more reserves to draw upon, and
the body just continues to run more and more acidic – and this is when major
disease (like cancer) starts to show up.

Most grains, dairy products, soy, and meats are acidic. Coffee, alcohol, highly
processed foods, re ned sugar, sugar replacements and GMO oils (and GMO food
altogether) are also highly acidic. When we eat (anything for that matter), acidic
waste products are generated from the metabolism of these foods. These waste
products must be neutralized or excreted – and so this is where alkaline foods
come in. They literally neutralize the acids of an unhealthy diet.

So lets get to it – here are 20 signs that your body is too acidic:

– Excess mucus / phlegm

– Chronic Cough
– Chest Pain
– Chronic Fatigue
– Sinus Issues
– Osteoporosis
– Neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and dementia
– Reduced mental clarity

– Cardiovascular damage caused by acidic plaques – increased risk of heart attack

and stroke
– Bladder and kidney infections
Immune de ciency
– Immune de ciency
– Skin issues like eczema, acne, rashes, and dermatitis of all types
– Stomach issues including bloating, indigestion, acid re ex and excess gas
– Candida and yeast infections
– Weight gain and/or obesity
– Diabetes
– Allergies
– Sciatica and stiff neck
– Cavities and sensitive gums
– Joint pain and aching muscles
So why doesn’t the body just adjust it’s own
pH?
Well, it does. But it does so at a price. All of the tissues and uids of the body are
alkaline, except for the stomach. If the body becomes too acidic, different tissues
will take alkaline-forming elements from other areas of the body (like digestive
enzymes of the small intestine, or our bones) – and then creates a less-than-
optimal environment for these areas where the alkaline forming elements were
taken. So even though the body can adjust pH on its own, it does so at a price to
other systems in the body.
So how do you exactly go about alkalizing
the body?
Change your diet, and modify your lifestyle a bit – your body literally depends on
you to do these things to survive.

Here are some things you can do to lower

your acidity:
1. Drink plenty of ltered water every day (spring water is the best). This will help
ush toxic materials from the body at a faster rate.

2. Remove acidic foods such as those mentioned above. You don’t have to remove
all of them, but reducing them to a minimum or a couple times a week until you
can go without them completely is a good vantage point. If you didn’t catch it,
foods like soda, popcorn, dairy, pastries, alcohol, coffee, white vinegar, sweeteners,
meat, wheat products, eggs, sh, soy and seafood are higher acid-forming.

3. Eat more greens – greens are incredibly alkalizing. Green smoothies, green
juices, salads, anything!

4. Your emotional state also affects the pH of your body. Anger, fear, resentment
and jealousy produce acidity of the body uids. Engaging in meditation or yoga
will help you de-stress.

5. Avoid GMO foods.

6. Up your intake of alkaline-forming foods – vegetables and fruit are the best,
with second best being nuts, seeds, beans and legumes.

7 Drinking lemon water can help balance acid levels too!

Make an effort to take care of yourself and your body. You’ll appreciate your
efforts, and will begin to feel more energetic and vibrant each and every day!
