| In order to accomplish all the many millions of | | | | I could describe a whole list of processes that |

| right, electricity. | | | | In regard to producing energy in the body, |
| Your body operates on an electro magnetic | | | | here’s an easy question for you. What do |
| current. Believe it or not, all of the organs in your | | | | you think happens to a person’s energy |

| What creates this electrical power in your body is | | | | deliver oxygen and nutrients as efficiently to all |

| one of the most important is your blood stream. | | | | your body? Good. Now let’s take a quick |
| This is where pH comes into play. But what is pH? | | | | look at what causes acidity in your body and then |
| WHAT PH IS AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO | | | | look at steps you can take to get your body pH |
| ALL YOUR BODY FUNCTIONS | | | | back to an ideal level. |
| PH is a scale that measures how acidic or alkaline | | | | WHAT CAUSES ACID IN THE BODY |
| a substance is. The scale ranges from 1 to 14 | | | | The primary cause of an acidic condition in your |
| with 1 being very acid, 7 neutral and 14 very | | | | body is from what you put in your mouth. In |
| alkaline. | | | | other words, what you eat and what you drink. |
| So what does pH have to do with you and your | | | | And it isn’t how acid something |
| blood? Well, the pH of your blood is extremely | | | | may seem when you eat or drink it. It has to do |

| around 7.35 and your body goes to enormous | | | | Specifically, does eating or drinking something |
| lengths to maintain this level. | | | | leave behind an acid or alkaline ash. For |
| Why? Because if your blood pH were to vary 1 | | | | example, I don’t know about you but I |

| pH level in your blood is pretty important!! | | | | Unfortunately, a lot of the things most people put |

| And what is the main culprit in this case? The | | | | STEPS YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY TAKE TO |
| answer is the creation of acid in your body. | | | | IMPROVE YOUR PH |
| Before we look at what causes acid, | | | | Fortunately, it is pretty easy to immediately |
| here’s a graphic example to give you an | | | | change your pH for the better and make it more |
| idea of what can happen in the blood when your | | | | alkaline. The first step is to understand which of |
| pH drops to less than ideal. Red blood cells are | | | | the foods you are eating and the drinks you are |
| how oxygen is transported to all the cells in your | | | | drinking are acid and which are alkaline. Then |
| body. | | | | it’s simply a matter of eliminating some of |
| As red blood cells move into the tiny, little | | | | the more acid foods you are eating and adding in |
| capillaries, the space they have to move through | | | | more alkaline foods. |
| gets pretty small. In fact, the diameter of the | | | | However, before you start, it’s important |
| capillaries gets so small that the red blood cells | | | | to get a baseline of what the pH is in your body |
| sometimes have to pass through these capillaries | | | | so that you can see how you are improving or if |
| one red blood cell at a time! | | | | you need to continue to eliminate more acid |
| Because of this, and because it’s important | | | | foods and add in more alkaline ones. |
| for the red blood cells to be able to flow easily | | | | You can do this by testing the pH of your saliva |
| and quickly through your body, they have a | | | | on a regular basis. This is really simple to do. More |
| mechanism that allows them to remain separate | | | | details on how to do this are provided on some |
| from each other. This mechanism comes in the | | | | web pages I have created for you to help you |
