THE IMPORTANCE OF A BALANCED PH
pH imbalances are not well tolerated by the body and have profound effects on all aspects of health and disease. pH stands for potential of hydrogen. The degree of hydrogen concentration in metabolic waste is the degree of acidity in the body. Your body functions best in an alkaline state of 7.4 to 7.46. At this pH the blood is able to transport optimal amounts of oxygen and carry off most of the metabolic waste. Although, when testing urine and saliva, a pH of 6.4 is best. Available energy for your body is in exact proportion to the amount of alkaline and acid forming chemicals internally present in fluids at the cellular level. An alkaline forming substance produces increased energy, and an acid forming substance produces a decreased ability to energize.

Ingested substances, along with physical and emotional stress, affect the body and leave either an alkaline or acid ash residue. To help understand the concept of ash residue; The ash is what's left after a log has been burned, and the heat has been enjoyed or used for energy. After food is metabolized, it leaves ash residue also known as metabolic waste. Your body used what it needed, and now it is time to take the trash out. We all know what garbage is like, it gets rotten in a hurry! Certain foods leave more acid waste or residue than others. High protein foods such as meats, poultry, fish, fried and processed foods, dairy and grains are acid ash forming. The more acidic a tissue becomes, the more cell degeneration occurs. Diseases such as cancer, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, fibromyalgia, and the inability to maintain proper weight have been linked to acidosis. If left unchecked an imbalanced pH will interrupt all cellular activity.

THE ALKALIZING EFFECT OF ZEOLITES
All acid ash waste or residue must be neutralized by your blood, so that it can't do damage to delicate tissues. Your body, with its infinite wisdom neutralizes or buffers acidity, by pulling mineral reserves from your bones. Vegetables and fruits are not acid ash producing foods, their ash residue is alkaline. Eating foods that alkalize can help your body function well, maintain bone density and build reserves of alkalizing minerals. Aim for an ideal consumption of 75% to 80% fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. Even fruits like oranges and lemons leave an alkaline residue, and contribute to alkaline reserves. Zeolites have an alkalizing effect on the system, acting as a neutralizing agent to the acidic environment. Zeolites support your body's efforts to balance pH. The benefits are excellent health and energy for life.
