The body’s acidity level usually refers to the amount of acids that one’s body fluid contains, as opposed to the basic level, which refers to the amount of alkalinity one’s body fluid contains. The reason why the body contains the alkaline is to neutralize the level of the acids in the body to keep it normal. If one’s body has too high an acid level, the first thing that one can suffer from is stomach discomfort at a greater level. The body has body fluids like saliva, blood, and urine that aids in the transportation of the acids and alkaline throughout the parts of the body.
The fluids transport the alkaline and acids throughout the body for lubrication, transportation of oxygen, excretion of waste in the body as urine and sweat, as well as transporting nutrients throughout the body. The pH of the body must always be balanced to avoid disrupting the body’s functions. The potential hydrogen is what generally measures the acidity and basic (acid or alkaline) levels in the body. Scientifically, the pH level ranges from 0-14. A pH of 7 is considered neutral, or balanced. A pH below 7 is acidic, and a pH above 7 is basic.
The higher the pH level the more likely your body has more fluids, resulting in a higher level of alkaline. On the other hand, the lower the pH level, the lower the amount of fluids in one’s body, hence the higher acidic levels. So, medical doctors usually tell their patients that in order for their body to be healthy and safe, their blood should have a pH level ranging from 7.35 to 7.45; their urine should have a pH level ranging from 4.6 to 8.0, and their saliva should range from 7.0 to 7.5.
In recent days, people have been too busy to take care of their health, and they do not pay close enough attention to the acidity level in their body. The most important thing that one needs to be aware of is that excess acid in the body can lead to a lot of destruction in the body. High acidity can lead to liver damage, heart failure, and it might even destroy some parts of the nervous system. With this in mind, people need to develop a way to help maintain their acidic level in their body.
Here are some signs that one should be aware of that might indicate the acidic level in their body is too high and therefore should take steps to rectify:
1. Excess Weight
Excess weight results from your body having to deal with too much junk in it; the excessive, unnecessary things in your body tend to create an imbalance in the level of acids and bases in your body, therefore resulting in one being overweight. What mainly cause the body tissues to expand is the high level of waste in the body, which can result in a high acidity level. Too much cholesterol, sugars, and sodium, as well as not enough exercise often leads to an increased level of acids, which in turn can lead to one suffering from weight gain.
The excess acids in the body wind up not being eliminated because the waste-carrying organs like the colon, kidneys, lymph system and the skin end up overworking. They eventually get overwhelmed by removing the excess acids. In order to have the body feel comfortable, its organs develop a new habit by finding different places to store the excess acids. This can result in excess weight and is done by the body taking the excess acids and pushing them into the body tissues, like excess cholesterol, and in turn, the acids stick to the fat cells, which then result in the body gaining weight.
The body needs fat cells to store fats and acids that will later be excreted from the body. If the body makes the fat cells store excessive amounts of acids, the excretion becomes difficult. When this happens, the body adapts to the new changes by making the body accommodate the acids, which can lead to excess weight.
The acids come from some of the popular foods that people oftentimes consume, like French fries, sugary drinks, and sodas, as well as alcohol, which leads to more acids in the body. The body might not be able to break down all this waste, and because they can stick in the body, they might not only lead to gaining weight but may also lead to heart disease and kidney failure. The best way to avoid this problem is to consume less of what we mentioned earlier. Eating smaller quantities of these foods, or avoiding them altogether, as well as making sure you drink plenty of water and get physical exercise, may help lower your acidic levels, which in turn may help you lose weight and feel better.
I agree with you “Prevention” has to be the next step. Thank goodness no one is giving up, and the movement grows
