How To Lower Acidity In The Body

Believe it or not, an offset pH in the body can lead to some serious health issues such as cancer and heart disease

. I am not talking about the acidity or alkalinity of saliva or urine - but blood and tissue. A normal pH level for blood is 7.41, too much acid is called acidosis, too little - alkalosis, neither are good. The obvious key to maintaining a normal pH is diet - here are little tips that may surprise you.

Lemons are one of the very few foods on this planet to have more negative ions than positive ions, therefore helping to alkalize the body. The pH of a lemon is around 2.3, which seems odd to most people since it is very acidic on a pH scale. However, when our bodies consume the lemon juice it is very alkalizing.

There are many other positive health benefits such as:

* Lemon water has excellent digestive properties

* Lemon water has been known to ease heartburn, bloating and other digestion problems

* Lemon water can help cleanse and stimulate the liver and kidneys since lemon is known as the best liver tonic

* Lemon juice contains calcium, magnesium and potassium

* Lemon juice has been known to relieve asthma and other lung infections

* Lemons are an antiseptic and can help heal wounds quickly

* Lemon water contains Vitamin C and several B Vitamins

* Lemon water, served hot, offers relief from colds and flu symptoms while providing some much needed Vitamin C

* The bowels are aided in eliminating waste more efficiently thus controlling constipation and diarrhea

* Lemon juice is a great skin cleanser

Simply, there are so many benefits in lemon juice intake. An immune system boost through antioxidants founds in fruits and vegetables are the best way to counter germs and diseases. Our body works best in its alkaline state. Keeping the pH in our blood at non-acidic levels helps the body produce more energy. Consuming lemons is a great way to alkalize the body - and easy too. Simply squeeze half a lemon (1oz) into a glass of water, warm or cold twice a day and please share your results!

Like the book Biological Ionization in Human Nutrition by A.F. Beddoe's quotes, "Man does not live off the food he eats but off of the energy that is produced from the food he eats," it is truly important that we choose the right foods and we look after proper nourishment through a more alkaline diet.
