As our bodies use fuel and metabolize the electrons from the food for energy, we produce acid waste. Too much acidic waste interrupts the critical pH levels that the body fights to maintain, leading to ‘metabolic acidotic stress’. Over 400 peer-review articles link this with aging and dozens of problems associated with the aging process.

How prevalent is Metabolic Acidotic Stress
It has been estimated that ninety percent of the population suffer from too much acid in the body. The reason acidosis is more common in our society is mostly due to the typical American diet, which is far too high in acid producing animal products like meat, eggs and dairy, and far too low in alkaline producing foods like fresh vegetables. Additionally, we eat acid producing processed foods like white flour and sugar and drink acid producing beverages like coffee and soft drinks.
New drugs and chemicals have been introduced to our foods, air, and water, which have put even greater stresses on our system’s ability to control the chemistry of our body fluids, and therefore functionality of our inner biological terrain is at risk. As a result, we see huge increases in the incidence of life-threatening or chronic diseases.
Have a look at the table below to identify various foods’ pH-level. Each one is assigned a number which mirrors its approximate relative potential of alkalinity (+) or acidity (-) existent in one ounce (28.35g) of food. The higher the number, the better it is for you to eat.
