Our blood connects the 100 million cells in our body to make up a meaningful whole. For its many diverse functions, blood requires an alkaline pH value between 7.35 and 7.45. Only within this alkaline range blood flows optimally, nourishes cells and keeps the body cleansed.
All of our foods and drinks have either alkaline or acid generating effects inour bodies.
Due to our modern fast food and living civilization most of the food we eat barely deserves to be called ‘nourishing’. It is often mass-produced, pre-cooked, frozen or pre-processed in one or another way. The ingredients in these products often originate from mono cultures grown in impoverished soil. These types of foods lack essential nutrients and do not provide us with the vital energy that we need. This lack of nutrients especially minerals causes the fact that most of our food is acid generating.
To prevent our body from acidification we should offer it lots of fresh and organic produce (if possible) each and every day.
