If you are really trying to get to the state of consciousness, but find it impossible to focus, have foggy mind, cannot get into any deeper meditated state, etc. You may want to start with reviewing your diet. This is a relatively short list of what you need to consider. While this list is very limited, it contains important information for your health:

4 Body PH Factors That Can Affect To Your Energy Level

#1 What Most People Don’T Realize; We Are Bio Electrical Engines

So as to achieve all the a large number of complex capacities that happen through the span of the day, your body must most likely speak with itself… right down to the cell level. What’s more, do you know how it does this? Through beats of power. Truth is stranger than fiction, power. Your body works on an electro attractive…

Testing Your pH with Purple Cabbage

Thanks to Dr. Michael Greger of NutritionFacts.org fame, there’s a challenging pH test. As per his instruc­tions, you can actually check your pH by urinating into a toilet bowl filled with the deep purple water produced from boiled purple cabbage. Yes, purple cabbage. It’s a fun way to test your pH if you are able to look at it with a childlike, humorous fascination of just how incredible the…

17 Signs Your Body is Too Acidic and 9 Ways to Quickly Alkalize It

Acidic bodies are unhealthy bodies. When the body is acidic, it creates an unwanted environment where illness, bacteria, and yeast thrive. When the body is overly acidic, the body takes minerals from vital organs and bones to neutralize the acid and remove it from the body. Because of this, the body’s mineral reserves such as calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium can run dangerously low and cause damage that can go undetected for years, until it reaches unhealthy levels, causing acidosis.

Most of us are already consuming enough acid forming foods, such as dairy, grains, meats and sugar. Since the body is constantly generating acidic waste products from the metabolism, those waste products need to be neutralized or excreted in some way. In order to neutralize the constant acid generation, we need to supply the body with more alkaline foods.

Consider the health problems caused by mild acidosis (poor pH balance):

Inflamed sensitive gums, cavities

Immune deficiency

Sciatica, lumbago, stiff neck

Respiratory problems, shortness of breath, coughing

Yeast fungal overgrowth

Low energy and chronic fatigue

Cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels and reduction in oxygen

Heart problems, arrhythmias, increased heart rate

Weight gain, obesity and diabetes

Bladder and kidney infections

Accelerated free radical damage

Premature aging

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea

Osteoporosis, weak brittle bones, hip fractures, bone spurs

Headaches, confusion, sleepiness

Joint pain, aching muscles and lactic acid buildup

Allergies, acne

Doesn’t the body adjust pH on its own?

Yes it can, but it does so at a price. The normal pH for all tissues and fluids in the body, exceptthe stomach is alkaline. With the exception of blood, all of the body systems have a wide pH range, in part so they can shift to maintain the blood pH, which must be maintained at the very narrow margin of 7.35 to 7.45.  For example, if the system becomes too acidic, the blood will take alkaline forming elements from the digestive enzyme system of the small intestine. This now creates a less than optimal environment for proper digestion. So while the body can adjust pH on its own, it does so at a price to other systems in the body, which can lead to additional health problems.  

Start by knowing your pH

pH testing is important because it allows an individual to get a numeric representation of the current level of acidification in their body. A healthy average pH reading will range anywhere from 6.75 to 7.25. The optimal pH numeric reading is 7.36. To learn more about ph testing check references at end of article.

You can’t tell if food is acidic or alkaline by taste alone

For example, many people think of lemons as acidic, while it is classified as an acidic fruit, it is actually an alkaline forming food. During the process of digestion the acids are oxidized into carbon dioxide and water, therefore they do not create an acid condition in the system.

Calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and sodium are the main alkalizing minerals. Foods that are high in this minerals are considered alkaline forming food.  Most foods have both acid and alkaline minerals in them. If acidic minerals are greater in concentration than that food is considered acidic and vice versa.

The body has limits

The body has limits for how much it can compensate for acid imbalance. Therefore food intake plays a critical role in maintaining the acid-alkaline balance. Many diseases and general malaise are the result of the body’s attempt to rebalance the internal environment.

Generally speaking, if the diet includes too many acid forming foods, such as high amounts of meats, grains, dairy, sugars, the body becomes more acidic. If you eat too many alkaline producing foods such as greens, fruits, sea vegetables the body can become too alkaline. Balance is key.

How does your body respond to specific foods?

It’s important to realize that the way your body responds to various foods depends on your dominant constitutional type. If your dominant type is oxidative then fruits and vegetables move the body to the more acid side, while proteins make your body more alkaline. If however you are more dominant to the autonomic system (ANS) then proteins cause your body to become more acidic and fruits and vegetables shift the body to a more alkaline environment.

How to improve your alkalinity

Check your pH regularly

Drink plenty of water (alkaline water when possible)

Remove acidic foods

Replace a traditional lunch with a large green salad.

Use lettuce leaves and collard greens as wraps.

Try not to consume processed foods

Eliminate soda, sugars and coffee. Replace them with herbal tea, herbal coffee and green drinks

Replace dairy milks with coconut or almond milk

Add green juices or smoothies to your diet

What you eat matters

Improving pH levels may require a little more thought, but you’ll appreciate the rewards of your efforts as you begin to feel more energetic and vibrant and your overall health improves.

There is no question about it, what you eat has a direct impact on your overall health. It was Ann Wigmore, founder of the renowned Hippocrates Health Institute who said, “The food you eat can be either be the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.”

Excess acid in body causes shock, death – Physician warns

  An Abuja-based medical practitioner, Dr John Okegwu, on Monday warned that too much acid in the body fluids could lead to shock or death.

Okegwu said in Abuja that excess acid in the body fluid, a condition known as acidosis, occurred when the lungs and kidneys could not keep the body’s PH (acid base) in balance.

“There are two types of acidosis, respiratory and metabolic; any of these can…

Deep Breathing and pH

I feel this needs to be pointed out specifically.

When talking about our body's pH balance, very often people on the internet will point out that our respiration rate will increase to balance out pH by manipulating carbon dioxide. That is one method the body uses, along with a few others.

The naivety comes in when assuming that dealing with a strong acidity in the body is as simple as taking a few deep breaths. I've even seen a self proclaimed "dietician" who was bragging about studying "organic chemistry" say as much.

Well then, if all it takes to significantly change pH is breathing, why do our bodies even bother with all those other systems? If someone goes into diabetic ketoacidosis, or is suffering from poisoning that leads to acidosis, or any number of things that lead to any kind of acid imbalance in the body, we should just tell them to breathe deeply a few times and they'll be just fine!  I mean, there's no reason to use IV administered Sodium Bicarbonate, because changing the body's pH is as simple as taking a few deep breaths according to the dieticians! We could just use some of those pregnancy style breathing exercises and eliminate all problems with any kind of acidity! This is revolutionary! Who knew that a life threatening condition in the body, a severely acidic state, could be cured by just breathing? (/end sarcasm)

Or maybe the idiotic dieticians should stick with feeding apple sauce to old people and shut the hell up about things they don't actually understand. There's a reason that bodybuilders tend to take anything a dietician says with a grain of salt. Actually, I've seen bodybuilders with no medical background that have a deeper understanding of biochemistry than the average dietician has, including the ones bragging about studying "organic chemistry".

The body has a finite ability to balance its pH. Those systems can be over taxed, especially in extreme medical cases. It's like the way that constantly straining the pancreas by eating loads of sugar can over load it to the point of causing type 2 diabetes. Anything we can do to ease up on the load we put on our bodies is good. Blindly trusting in our body's ability to balance out a constant intake of acid producing foods is naive wishful thinking. Assuming that taking a few deep breaths is all it takes to balance it out  is pure stupidity.

It is well known that pores do absorb skin care products, sending them into the bloodstream and lymphatic system.

From that knowledge rose the green cosmetic industry, supplying chemical-free products. 

We've pushed it a bit further: all of our ingredients are of the highest quality, food grade, raw and organic.

We've pushed it even further: since our product will be absorbed by your body, it might as well contain healing and health-enhancing agents.

Our cream, a powerful nourisher, provides all vitaminerals for healthy skin growth and repair. Our healing agent enters your body, detoxing and cleansing your cells from radiation, chemicals, heavy metals and free radicals.

A bit more context

There are thousands of pores on every square inch of skin, acting as a thousand open mouths, absorbing that which is applied to the skin directly into the bloodstream and lymphatic system. Unlike foods, toxins absorbed through the skin bypass the organism’s natural defense mechanisms. Recent studies have shown that we may actually acquire more toxins through skin absorption than through the foods we eat, this is especially true due to the lack of regulations banning synthetic chemicals from skin care products.

As the largest organ in the body, skin has a fundamental impact on the immune system and metabolic functioning. Restricting exposure to toxic synthetics and cleansing harmful substances out of the body will set you on the path to recovering good health and longevity.

Knowing your skin will eat our product, we only use the highest quality food-grade ingredients, sourced from sustainable, organic, non-GMO and chemical-free farmlands.
