Acid Alkaline Balance



In this first post we are going to talk about the Acid Alkaline Balance something very important for those trying to understand the reason behind eating raw foods.

70% of our body is water, 55% of this liquid is found in cells, 5% in the blood and 10% in the surrounding liquid.





Acid Alkaline Balance

To maintain life we ​​need a good Acid Alkaline Balance. The normal pH of blood is 7.4. If it gets down to 6.95, we can die, as the heart relaxes and stops beating. If it rises to 7.7, can cause seizures and other disorders. Viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc., thrive in acidic media. There is less oxygen and energy in the body decreases.

The excess acid (hyperacidity) comes from our lifestyle that causes stress and acid-producing foods .

Acidic foods are rich in:
sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine and iodine

Alkaline foods are rich in:
sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron
