20 Signs That Your Body Is too Acidic and 10 Ways to Quickly Alkalize It

20 Signs That Your Body Is too Acidic and 10 Ways to Quickly Alkalize It - Every organ in the body is influenced by the level of acidity. So, if the body becomes overly acidic, it means that the person is not 100% healthy. Namely, when the body is too acidic it enters a state of acidosis and becomes the perfect surrounding for diseases. On the other hand, a body which is alkaline suffers from less inflammation which is one of the main triggers of a long list of diseases.

Unfortunately, the American diet causes people to stay in a constant state of high acidity. And, when this state persists for a longer period of time, important minerals are removed from organs and bones in order to lower the effects of the acid and eliminate it from the body. This is why there has been a rise in osteoporosis because the bones are leached of the minerals like calcium, salt, magnesium, and potassium.

When these reserves are exploited and there are no minerals left, the body’s acidity increases and diseases occur.

Acidic foods:

• Grains
• 
  
• Dairy
• 
  
• Soy
• 
  
• Meat
• 
  
• Coffee
• 
  
• Alcohol
• 
  
• Processed foods
• 
  
• Refined sugar
• 
  
• GMO oils and GMO foods
• 
  
• Sugar replacements

When our diet is based on these foods, the metabolism leads to the production of acidic waste products. In order to lower the effects of this waste or to remove it from the body, there is a need of alkaline foods.

The most common symptoms of an overly acidic body:

• Surplus mucus
• Coughing
• Chest pain
• Fatigue
• Osteoporosis
• Reduced mental clarity
• Bladder and kidney infections
• Poor immunity
• Skin problems like rashes, eczema
• Bloating, acid reflux, gas, and indigestion
• Yeast infections
• Weight gain
• Diabetes
• Allergic reactions
• Sciatica
• Stiff neck
• Sensitive gums
• Cavity
• Joint and muscle ache

Why doesn’t the body adjust its pH?

The body does this, but at a certain rate. The fluids and the tissues of the body are alkaline. When the body is too acidic, tissues will take alkaline-forming components from other body parts and develop an optimal surrounding for where the alkaline-forming elements were taken. Therefore, in order for the body to change the pH on its own, it does it at a cost of other bodily systems.

So, what is the right way to alkalize the body?

Through changes in your diet and improvements in your lifestyle:

• Drink a lot of filtered water
• Lower the intake of acidic foods to a minimum
• Eat more greens like green juices, green salads, and green smoothies
• Practice yoga or meditate to reduce the anger, fear, and jealousy since they can also influence the body’s pH
• Don’t eat GMO foods
• Eat more veggies, nuts, seeds, beans, and legumes
• Drink lemon water
