Picture of The Day

How Acidic is your body?

Bodily fluids such as saliva, urine and blood play a vital role in how our body functions. However, too much acid buildup in these fluids can cause severe illnesses and health issues. Find out below how to fix these problems and get on the road to better health.

What is “Acidity”?

Acidity or acidosis refers to the amount of acid buildup in our bodies. For our bodily fluids to do their job, we must maintain a healthy pH of 7.0 or above. Anything below that number is considered acidic.

You may have an excess of acid in your body if you are experiencing one or more of these ailments:

• Struggle to Lose Weight

• Muscle Aches

• Fragile Bones/Osteoporosis

• Dental Issues

• Tiredness or Insomnia

• An Increase in Mucus

• Dermatological Problems

Our bodies become more acidic for many reasons. The kinds of food we eat and beverage choices all affect the buildup of acid in our bodies. Alcohol, caffeine, processed foods, and sugar all increase the body’s acidity levels. The air we breathe and environmental factors can also have an impact on acidosis forming.

The tip

The way that you breathe makes a lot of difference in your body being acidic or alkaline. The deeper you breathe, the more alkalizing the effect on your body. When you don’t breathe in a deep manner or take shallow breaths, more carbon dioxide is trapped in your blood, which makes your system highly acidic.

Shallow breathing also means that your stress, which makes you produce more cortisol (stress) hormones, which leaves you with more toxins in your blood making your body more acidic. Just by taking five deep breaths, you put more oxygen in your system, which helps clean your system. The less the carbon dioxide in our system, the less acidic is your body.

How to Fix Acidity:

While you may feel the damage is already done, it can easily be fixed. Follow these tips to help rid your body of acid build-up:

Stay Hydrated – One of the easiest ways to neutralize acid in your body is by consuming alkaline water. Alkaline water offers the premium hydration your body needs. By staying hydrated, your body will naturally eliminate the excess acid through the digestive tract.

Remove the Junk – Processed foods, sugary drinks, caffeine and alcohol all affect our body’s acid levels. They strip the calcium and magnesium from our muscles and bones leaving us susceptible to developing osteoporosis and other illnesses.

Change your Diet – Eating right goes hand in hand with a healthy lifestyle but it’s what you eat that helps neutralize the acid in your body. Green, leafy vegetables such as kale, broccoli, arugula, and celery have alkalizing properties that can combat the acid. Dried fruit and seafood (salmon and mackerel) provide the calcium and magnesium your body loses due to acidosis.

Rid your body of harmful acid and toxins by following a healthy regime of the right foods, exercise, and staying hydrated.

📰 Positive News Of The Day!

In order to keep their little island the pristine Aegean paradise it is, Tilos has gotten rid of their landfill, and replaced it with a circular system that has reduced total waste by 86%.

After being implemented this May, the island of around 750 inhabitants quickly saw progress, after they transformed the landfill into a recycling center and removed the large public common bins for trash.

Set up by Polygreen, the Just Go Zero initiative is hoping to steer other Greek islands toward similar programs.

All biodegradable waste is turned into soil treatments, while plastic, metal, glass, and paper are all recycled.

🧐 DID YOU KNOW?

Learn to juggle: If you want to master Sanskrit, nail Crane Pose, and revamp your diet, you may have more success if you tackle everything at once. A new study from the University of California, Santa Barbara found that when it comes to life changes, multitasking is more effective than focusing on one change at a time. The study put college students through a six-week program that incorporated daily physical exercise (including yoga), mindfulness practices, and lectures on topics like sleep and relationships. All participants showed dramatic improvements after six weeks in areas ranging from test performance to mood. The researchers concluded that a comprehensive approach creates an upward spiral, in which one success reinforces the next.
