Role of PH in our health

Danish chemist Soren Sorensen first came up with the concept


of pH back in 1893 when he was studying
the beer-making process. He discovered that measuring the pH
of a liquid could tell us how acidic it is and, most importantly,
that 7 is a balanced pH for water. Anything below 7 is acidic,
anything above 7 is alkaline and neutral solutions have a pH of 7

Striking the perfect pH balance isn’t all about


water. The food we eat plays a role too. Acidosis, a condition that occurs
when our internal environment s too acidic, can be caused by eating too
much meat or sugar. To avoid the body stress of acidosis and the fatigue
and energy loss it causes, fill up on plenty of vegetables, fruits and seeds
with alkalizing properties—like green beans, asparagus, cucumbers,
carrots, buckwheat, quinoa, brown rice, coconut and avocados.
