Food - Acid Forming?

The body has a pH balance ... just like you have to balance the water in your fish tank. Anyone whoever had a fish tank knows that the water has to be kept at 7 pH or you lose your fish.

 

0 pH is absolute acid - 14 pH is absolute alkaline - 7 pH is neutral

 

The blood in the body is actually 7.35 to 7.40 pH.

 

Coffee and tea are pure acid. So, the body retains water in the body to counteract the acidity ... which makes you gain weight.

 

Drinks like tea or soda will taste sweet with sugar or even worse with the chemicals that taste like fake sugar. Sodas contain phosphoric acid, malic acid, carbonic acid, and erythorbic acid. Not to mention that a lot of sodas have caffeine.

 

White sugar ferments in the body and forms acetic acid, carbonic acid and alcohol.

 

The key to good health is to keep the body pH at neutral or as close as possible

 

Acidic and basic are two extremes that describe chemicals, just like hot and cold are two extremes that describe temperature. The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. It ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic. Each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value. For example, a pH of 4 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 5 and 100 times (10 times 10) more acidic than a pH of 6. So also for values above 7.

 

Sodium Hydroxide       pH  14

Blood                           pH  7.4

Pure Water                 pH 7

HCL Acid                     pH  0
