Alkaline for Life® Blog
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 [...]
Most of us spend the vast majority of our time in our heads with our attention directed towards past events or thoughts of the future. Absolute focus on the present moment is lost amid often uncontrolled wanderings of [...]
An alkaline diet is largely a plant-based diet. Eating alkaline is an important way of eating to prevent today’s epidemic chronic degenerative diseases such as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, cancer, and osteoporosis [...]
Within the body, extreme systemic acidosis is incompatible with life. For example, diabetic acidosis can be life threatening. More important to us here is the fact that even slight acidosis, a slight acidic tilt, brings with it [...]
Alkaline balance is very important for bone health. We evolved in an alkaline environment, and even today our body’s internal environment remains alkaline, with a pH just above 7.0. Our enzymatic, immunologic, [...]
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States today. We all know that a lack of exercise, eating an inflammatory diet, having high blood pressure are all risk factors for heart disease. But, did you know that [...]
