While many people worry about the pH balance of the body of water in their fish tanks, few worry about the pH of the body of water which is the human body. It is truly the secret of life. The human body is naturally more Alkaline than acidic. At a pH below 7.1 acidosis occurs. Both extremes are associated with serious, often life-threatening illness.
Acidosis is a condition often found in patients with cancer, high blood pressure and heart disease.
Normally toxic acids are formed as a by-product when the body burns nutrients in food to create energy. However, the products that neutralize these acids are also found normally in the body. They are Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium. As long as there are sufficient amounts of these Alkaline minerals, the body itself disposes of normal levels of toxic waste safely. For example, a soft drink has a pH of 2.5 and it takes 32 glasses of high pH Alkaline water to neutralize just one glass of a soft drink.
