Rid Your Body of Acid Build-Up
Bodily fluids such as saliva, urine and blood play a
vital role in how the human body functions, however, too much acid buildup in
these fluids can cause health issues.
Acidity or
acidosis refers to the amount of acid buildup in the body. A healthy pH is 7.0
or above. Anything below that number is considered acidic.
People with
an excess of acid in the body may experience a variety of ailments including
muscle aches, fragile bones, dental issues, tiredness, insomnia, increased
mucus, difficulty losing weight or dermatological problems.
Bodies
become more acidic for many reasons, but food and beverage choices are key.
Alcohol, caffeine, processed foods and sugar all increase the body’s acidity
levels. Air and other environmental factors can also have an impact on
acidosis.
Simple
steps can help rid the body of acid buildup. Stay hydrated with alkaline water and the body will naturally
eliminate excess acid. Remove the junk such
as processed foods, sugary drinks, caffeine and alcohol, which affect acid
levels and strip calcium and magnesium from muscles and bones. Change the diet by adding more green,
leafy vegetables such as kale, broccoli, arugula and celery (all alkalizing);
dried fruit and seafood (especially salmon and mackerel) provide the calcium
and magnesium the body loses due to acidosis.
“Rid your
body of harmful acid and toxins by following a healthy regime of the right
foods, exercise and staying hydrated,” says Missy Guitterrez, Owner at Peak
