Why alkalize an acidic body?
January 17th, 2012
A question arises as to why alkalize your body when you have alkalized your blood? The normal metabolic process that takes place in the body often produces acidic waste. This has to be neutralized for safe elimination so that it does not damage the tissues of the organs and glands responsible for detoxifying the body. Decomposition, disease and decay are caused by acidity. These days most of our bodies are highly acidic because of the lifestyle we lead due to the stress, the diet and the toxic environments in which we live. Therefore, an alkaline diet which includes foods, supplements, as well as a change in the lifestyle habits is necessary for ensuring a healthy level of balance. Food items that help in reducing acid levels in the body are fruits, vegetables, almonds, potatoes, pine nuts, honey etc.
