In order to help buffer excess acid buildup, it may become necessary for the body to draw upon its alkali mineral stores. The bones, of course, represent the body’s largest storehouse of mineral reserves, but mineral stores [...]
Our 7-day starter list of alkalizing food ideas. For the most comprehensive list of what foods alkalize and what foods acidify, check out Dr. Susan Brown's best selling [...]
Trying to maintain a life-supporting, fresh, whole foods eating program while eating out can be a challenge. However, the tide is shifting and consumers are becoming more demanding about [...]
Another consequence of chronic low-grade metabolic acidosis is premature aging. This is due in part to the fact that even a slight tilt toward metabolic acidosis impairs cellular function. By impairing [...]
Through exercise we bring oxygen into the body and excrete acids (carbonic acid) in the form of carbon dioxide. Shallow or uneven breathing patterns limit the intake of life-supporting oxygen [...]
Researchers have long noted that chronic low-grade metabolic acidosis is associated with a multitude of degenerative diseases, including osteoporosis, kidney disease, hypertension, aging muscle [...]
Various multi-layered physiological mechanisms act to ensure that the pH values of the cells, fluids, tissues, and organs of the body are properly maintained. They do so by neutralizing and eliminating excess acid buildup [...]
pH can be measured using a simple at-home test that checks the acidity of your urine (first-morning urine is the one to measure). Instructions on how to use this paper are simple and easy to understand [...]
Balance is the key word characterizing the “Alkaline Life.” Balance implies that both acid and alkaline biochemical factors are essential for life. In fact, you can’t have one without the other, and alkaline biochemical [...]
