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 Alkalinity. “Visit us to discuss the health benefits of alkaline water.”
