What is acidic water and acidic foods?

Water that is less than 7 in value on the pH scale is considered as acidic water. When water undergoes the process electrolysis for the purpose of ionization, the portion of the water that retains the positively charged ions is known as acidic water.  

Many of the foods that we eat and drinks tend to be more acidic than alkaline. Examples of acidic foods are such as processed foods, white flour, sugar and meat. Acidic beverages such as coffee and carbonated drinks also tend to raise acidity in your body.

 

We also consume a large portion of additives which are acidic in nature; we use artificial chemical sweeteners like NutraSweet, Spoonful, Sweet 'N Low, Equal, or Aspartame, which are poisonous and extremely acidic. 

In short, an acidic body pH can occurs from:

1.Acid forming diet,

2. Emotional stress,

3.Toxic overload due to medication,

4.Immune reactions or any process that deprives the body cells of oxygen and other nutrients.  

One of the best things we can do to correct an overly acid body is to change the diet and lifestyle. Naturally, the body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals. If the diet does not contain enough alkaline minerals to compensate, a buildup of acids in the cells will occur.

As an example: Diet consists of apple, broccoli and raisins are alkaline mineral promoting.

                                                                                                        

Other than that, by increasing our intake of alkaline water we can help our bodies regulate pH balance.
