Our bodies should have a blood pH value of 7.36 to 7.44
Due to our modern lifestyles and consumption of meats, dairy, coffee & processed sugars, these create acidic ash in the body. Even the water we drink can be acidic adding to the body’s attempts to maintain its natural pH value.
Typical symptoms of acidic blood can include:
Low energy
Excess weight
Poor digestion
Aches& pains
Some experts go even further to suggest that an alkaline body might not allow degenerative diseases including cancer cells to form as readily in an acidic body.
By combining a change in diet and drinking water with a pH value similar to the ideal blood value can lead to better health.
Understanding pH
pH is a method to measure the acid/alkaline value of a given substance. The chart below shows a typical range of Ph values, with 7 being neutral.
For example pH values:
Apple juice 2.9 – 3.3
Stomach acid 1.1 – 3.0
Anti- acid tablets 10.5
Household bleach 12.6
Reverse Osmosis water 5, 2 – 6.4 (without alkalizing unit fitted)
Reverse Osmosis water 8 – 9.5 (with alkalizing unit fitted)*
