The body needs to find balance between acidic and alkaline states to function properly and avoid creating a breeding ground for illness and disease. In order for the body to remain healthy, a slightly alkaline blood pH reading in the range of 7.35 to 7.45 is ideal.
The primary reason for higher levels of acidity is a poor diet full of processed foods. In good health, a diet containing 60% alkaline-forming foods and 40% acid forming should maintain an alkaline state. When recovering or regaining health, a diet with 80% alkaline-forming foods and only 20% acid forming should build alkaline reserves.
Understanding the difference between acid and alkaline-forming foods can create a dramatic and relatively fast change in energy levels and reverse the symptoms of poor health and illness.
Here at Health Junky, we've carefully hand picked some products that will help you test your own acidity levels and understand how to eat a more alkaline-balanced diet.
