Today, many Americans have a diet and lifestyle that has become extremely acidic. The foods we eat on a regular basis are acid-forming, such as pasteurized dairy products, poultry, meat, trans-fats, cooked oils, baked goods, and refined sugars. Even most of the beverages we are drinking lead to acid in our bodies. Beverages such as coffee, tea, pasteurized juices and milk, and carbonated drinks are very acidic.
The lifestyle habits we have are also acid-forming. We ingest pharmaceutical drugs, alcohol, and stimulants. Stress and anxiety are also very acid-forming. Pollution, household chemicals and even aging are external factors that lead to an acid buildup in our bodies. That’s where pH Alkalizer PM can help!
The human body removes weak acids such as apple cider vinegar and the citric acid in lemons through the lungs in the form of carbon dioxide. And it removes strong acids from the kidneys through the urine as well as from the skin through the sweat. However, our bodies can only process so much acid until it becomes overloaded. What happens if you don’t have enough alkaline mineral buffers to deal with the acid overload? Before we answer that, let’s take a look at how ph works in our bodies.
How pH Works
Technically, pH stands for “potential of hydrogen.” The pH of a fluid tells you how acid or alkaline it is. pH is measured on a scale from 0-14 with neutral being 7.0; anything below that is acidic and anything above is alkaline. More oxygen is present when pH is above 7.0 than below which is why all pathogens thrive in an acidic environment. But they can’t survive with alkalinity. An acidic condition is a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria, yeast and fungi while an alkaline environment helps to keep things in check. People assume colds and viruses happen when they catch a bug when in fact many common infections are actually caused by bacteria that are part of the normal flora already present in their systems. When their diet and lifestyle become too acidic, they create fertile ground for the pathogens to multiply and flourish. The blood must maintain a ph level of 7.35 to 7.45. If the pH of your blood goes outside that range, the function of your organs and your health is compromised.
When you have too much acid in your body, it first goes to the kidneys for elimination. When the kidneys are at full capacity and they can’t accept all the acid that is being produced, the next step is for the body to use the alkaline buffers in your system. The alkaline minerals in your body act as buffers and mix with the acids that eventually become neutral salts. If you have enough alkaline minerals in reserve, then the acids cancel each other out to become the neutral salts.
If you don’t have enough alkaline minerals in reserve, the body is forced to borrow minerals-including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium-from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity- a condition that may go undetected for years. So, if the kidneys are overloaded and you don’t have enough alkaline minerals in your body to buffer the acid, the body is forced to store the acids in the tissues.
The difference between acute and chronic inflammation is that acute inflammation is typically short, from a recent injury while chronic inflammation is persistent and long-lasting.
Whole-body inflammation refers to chronic, imperceptible, low-level inflammation. Mounting evidence suggests that over time this kind of inflammation sets the foundation for many serious, age-related diseases including heart disease and other chronic illnesses. If you have chronic inflammation and suffer from a recent injury, this may cause more pain and lengthen healing time.
The 1st key ingredient in pH Alkalizer PMTM is pH 7.5TM, a blend of Fruits and Vegetables, each hand-picked for their alkalizing potential. These ingredients may help to reduce acid overload and assist the body to achieve optimal pH balance.
The 2nd unique component of pH Alkalizer PMTM is a patented mineral complex, FruiteX-B® Calcium Fructoborate. Found in legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs and wine, recent published human clinical research has demonstrated the ability of FruiteX-BTM to modulate key markers of inflammation and improve elevated serum levels of CRP, a diagnostic marker associated with inflammatory conditions.
The 3rd specialized ingredient of pH Alkalizer PMTM is SpectraTM, Total ORACFN, which is a specific mixture of quality fruit, vegetable and herb extracts that result in an unprecedented full-spectrum antioxidant product. Comprised of 5 separate phytochemical formulations each designed to act on and neutralize one of the 5 distinct types of free radicals, that studies suggest may be associated with unhealthy aging and chronic conditions.
