system.
PH stands for Potential of Hydrogen and it is closely related to the
amount of oxygen our cells and organs have available. The ideal pH for
a person is around 7.4 which leans more towards alkalinity.
The reason why the pH is so important is that:
1. The vast majority of diseases including heart disease, cancer,
nerve problems, premature aging and allergies, just to quote a few,
have all been linked to an acidic pH, lower then 7.4
2. The average typical western diet is highly acid forming, therefore
causing our pH to be lower than 7.4 and consequently cause our bodies
to be much more susceptible to disease.
In 1928 Dr Otto Warburg, a biochemist and a doctor, discovered that
tumor cells are anaerobic which means they don't breathe oxygen. In
1931 Dr. Warburg received the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine
for his research.
Many recent studies have confirmed what Dr. Warburg found, which is
that an oxygen deprived, acidic environment is highly conducive to
cancer.
Every food is either alkaline or acid by itself, and it is also
alkaline or acid forming after having been processed by our body. Very
often however the inherent alkalinity or acidity of a food is
completely different from the final pH impact that a particular food
has on our body.
For example citrus fruit like oranges, limes and lemons are renowned
for being acidic however, after they have been digested and processed
by our bodies, they actually become alkaline forming and therefore
contributing our own pH to be more alkaline.
Refined sugars are very acid forming which is also one of the reasons
why alcoholic drinks like beer, wine and spirits contribute heavily to
lower our pH towards the acidic.
Salt on the other hand has an alkaline forming effect and the pH of
ocean water is typically between 7.9 to 8.2 and for this reason it can
be used in its isotonic form, diluted and cold-filtered, as a plasma
substitute in a blood transfusion.
The typical traditional western diet is heavily based on acid forming
foods: meat, dairy products, white pasta and bread, refined sugars,
pastries, highly processed foods, tea, coffee, beer, wine and spirits
are all overly present in our daily diet contributing to a higher
acidic pH in our bodies.
Alkaline forming foods such as green leafy vegetables and fruits are
too often relegated to a secondary role in our meals as small
quantities side dishes and in many cases used just as a "visual" and
colourful garnish for the main dish.
You can check the pH of your saliva by using pH strips. They are
usually available at the chemist as well as on the internet. If your
pH is more towards the acidic (below 7) the best thing to do is start
immediately a diet with more alkaline foodsand very little acidic
foods. Check your pH level daily, first thing in the morning as you
wake up and before you put anything into your mouth.
