How Body pH Can Affect Your Energy Levels

What most people do not realize we are BIO Electric Motors

 
In order to accomplish all the millions of complex functions that occur during the day, your body must be able to communicate with itself... all the way down to the cellular level. And do you know how he do it? Thanks to electric pulses. It is true, electricity.

Your body operates on an electromagnetic current . Believe it or not, all the organs in your body emit these fields of electrical current. In fact, nerve signals are nothing more than electrical charges.

What creates this electrical power in your body is a very fine balance that exists in your bio chemistry. And all the systems in your body that depend on this delicate chemical balance, bio, one of the most important is your bloodstream. This is where pH comes into play. But what is pH?

What PH is and why it is important for all your body functions?

 
PH is a scale that measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. The scale ranges from 1 to 14, 1 being very acidic, 7 neutral and 14 very alkaline.

So what does pH have to do with you and your blood? Well, the pH of your blood is extremely important. The ideal pH level for your blood is just 7.35 and your body goes great lengths to maintain this level.

Why? Because if the pH of your blood must vary from 1 or 2 points in either direction, it would change the electrical chemistry in your body, there would be no electricity and little time you would drop dead. As you can see , maintaining the pH level directly in your blood is very important!

With this in mind a good way to avoid upsetting this delicate bio chemical balance would be to take a look at those things that can endanger the maintenance of the ideal pH level in your body. And what is the main culprit in this case? The answer is the creation of acid in your body.

Before we look into the causes of acid , here is a graphic example to give you an idea of ​​what can happen in the blood when your pH drops to less than ideal. Red blood cells are how oxygen is transported to all the cells of your body.

As red blood cells move in small, little, capillaries, the space they have to travel becomes quite small. Indeed, the capillary diameter becomes so small that the red blood cells sometimes have to pass through the capillaries of a red blood cell at a time!

For this reason, and because it is important for red blood cells to be able to easily and quickly circulate in your body, they have a mechanism that allows them to remain separate from each other. This mechanism is in the form of the outside of healthy red blood cells having a negative charge. This causes them to stay out of each other, a bit like when you try to push the negative ends of two magnets together. They resist each other and stay out.

Unfortunately, acid interferes with this very important part of a scary way mechanism. Acid deprives away the negative charge of red blood cells. The result is that the red blood cells then tend to clump together and not flow as easily. This makes it much harder for them to flow easily into the bloodstream.

But it also makes it harder for them to move freely through these small capillaries. This means less oxygen gets to your cells. Acid also weakens the red blood cells and they begin to die. And guess what they release into your system when they die? More acid.

I could describe a whole list of processes that occur when your system becomes and remains acid but I think you get the idea. The point is that aside from the acid that is secreted into the stomach to aid digestion, acid in your body is bad. Really bad.

With regard to energy production in the body, here is the easy question for you. What do you think happens to the energy level of a person if the time their system becomes more acid, their biochemical balance is disrupted and their red blood cells can not deliver oxygen and nutrients more efficiently in all their cells? The answer is simple. Their energy level drops. Dramatically.

Are you starting to get the picture here of the importance of pH in your body? Good . Now let's take a look at what causes acidity in your body, then follow the steps you can take to get your body pH at an ideal level.

What Causes acid in the body?

 
The main cause of an acid condition in your body is what you put in your mouth. In other words, what you eat and what you drink. And this is not how "acid" something may seem when you eat or drink . It has to do with what's left when you digest it.

Specifically, eating or drinking something leave behind an acid or alkaline "ash". For example, I do not know about you, but I like the Sea. Scallops are one of my favorites. However, when your body digests scallops, it leaves a very acidic ash. In fact, scallops are one of the most acidic foods you can eat.

Unfortunately, many things that most people put in their mouths create an acid ash. These include alcohol , coffee and lots of meat proteins in your diet. Interestingly enough, stress also tends to create an acid condition in the body.

Steps you can take immediately to improve your PH

 
Fortunately, it is fairly easy to immediately change your pH for the better and make it more alkaline. The first step is to understand what foods you eat and the beverages you drink are acidic and which are alkaline are. Then it's just eliminate some of the most acidic foods you eat and adding more alkaline foods.

However, before you begin, it is important to get a baseline of what the pH is in your body so that you can see how you improve or if you need to continue to eliminate more acid foods and add in the more alkaline.

You can do this by testing the pH of your saliva on a regular basis. It's very simple to do. More details on how to do this are available on some web pages I have created for you to help you. A link to these pages is provided below.

In addition to reducing the amount of acid foods you eat and increasing the amount of alkaline foods you eat, one of the best ways to immediately begin changing your pH is to drink beverages "green". You can do this by simply adding a powder that consists of a variety of vegetables that are highly alkaline to a glass of water. Information on suggested green drink powders to use is included on pages that I link below.
