These 15 signs indicate that your body is too acidic, here’s how to alkalize it and restore it back to normal!

Today’s diet includes plenty of processed foods, meat, dairy products, eggs, white flour, sugar, and soda.

Therefore it is hardly surprising that most people have a mild or very acidic body.

Since the acidic body is literally an invitation to numerous diseases, try and make changes to your daily diet as soon as possible!

The alkalinity of the body is a prerequisite for good health.

In order for your body to perform all bodily functions well, the pH value of bodily fluids should be slightly alkaline.

If the pH value of your blood is around 7.3, you are a healthy person, and if this value falls below 7.0, you have an acidic state of of the body.

Various processes that take place inside the body (digestion, breathing, secretion of body fluids, and other metabolic processes), affect the pH value.

For example, during digestion, the stomach secretes hydrochloric acid, and the pancreas – alkaline bicarbonates.

Any abnormality of these digestive juices will disrupt the pH balance in your body.

This can result in acidosis – an increased acidic condition, or alkalosis – an excessively alkaline condition of the body, which is much rarer.

The acidity of the body leads to a low immune system, inflammatory conditions, and numerous diseases.

Can cause obesity and diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue, osteoporosis, arthritis, problems with the bladder and kidneys …

The acidity of the body is enhanced by smoking and taking pharmaceutical drugs, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives.

In acidic conditions, the organism takes important minerals from the bones and vital organs, such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium to neutralize and throw out the acid.

And that seriously jeopardizes your overall health.

Signs that your body is too acidic:

  1. fatigue and low energy levels
  2. weakened immunity
  3. sensitive gums and teeth
  4. shortness of breath and cough
  5. sciatica and stiff neck
  6. headache and drowsiness
  7. vomiting, nausea, diarrhea
  8. bladder and kidney inflammation
  9. aching muscles and joints
  10. palpitations
  11. accelerated aging
  12. obesity and diabetes
  13. accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles
  14. allergies and acne
  15. growth of fungi in the body, such as Candida

If you recognize yourself in these symptoms, it is likely your body is too acidic.

But to make sure of that, you can visit your doctor and analyze the pH value of the blood and urine.

How to alkalize your body and restore it back to normal?

For optimum health, your daily menu should be made of 70-80% alkaline foods, and only 20-30% acid foods.

Here’s what you should do to reduce the acidity of the body:

  • drink at least 2 liters of water a day
  • drink smoothies from fresh fruit and vegetables
  • instead of carbonated drinks consume herbal teas and green tea
  • instead of cow consume almond or coconut milk
  • do exercise, because it contributes to the alkalinity of your body
  • reduce your intake of foods such as milk and dairy products, sweets, cereals, and processed foods
  • eat more alkaline foods, such as avocados, bananas, broccoli, cabbage, celery, cucumber, spinach, lemon, ripe bananas, almonds, watermelon, and more salads
