酸性的身體=氧化=

我們的飲食和子品代謝影響身體的pH。因此,pH直接影響到各類食品,我們吃的,在其加工過程中所涉及的部機制。一些食物,其成分中的酸,可以成為鹼化以下的代謝,如檸檬。因此,它是成為更加自覺地知道各種食品集團和我們的飲食習慣對身體的部環境的影響。

因此,人體血液中鹼性的pH7以上, 理想的pH7.35。此範圍之外的......身體活動已不再是最佳的代謝, 部環境因此失去平衡

過多的酸性導致許多干擾,如:
弱化的皮膚,頭髮,指甲,牙齒
消化道惡化
興奮性的神經系統,坐骨神經痛
抑鬱症傾向
肌肉痙攣和抽筋
提高到感染的易感性
慢性疲

下列因素將影響身體的pH的:

酸性食物,如快餐食品,肉類,穀物,蔬菜,大多數水果,精鹽,白糖,調味品(醃菜,番茄醬等),汽水等...pH2.85.5,這是高度酸性。

鹼性食物杏仁,所有瓜類,蜂蜜,蜂花粉,楓糖,無花果,紅棗,天然酸奶,奶酪和乳製品,大地蔬菜,杏,鱷梨,椰子,葡萄,糖蜜,葡萄乾,檸檬......都是形成鹼性食品。

情緒......身體的鹼性水平,也大大影響你的情緒。歡樂,愉快,充滿愛的情感往往創建在體形成鹼的化學反應。相反,這是充滿憤怒的情緒,恐懼,嫉妒,恨,等...創建在體形成酸性的化學反應。

從食品營養學上通常將食品分成酸性、鹼性以及中性等三類食物,食物本身味道或PH 酸鹼度屬理化特性與食物酸鹼無關,食物酸鹼性是依其礦物質的種類及含量多寡比率而定,礦物質大約分為八種,分別是鉀、鈉、鈣、鎂、鐵、磷、、硫,如食物 含有較多鉀、 鎂、鈉、鈣、鐵等礦物質離子者多屬於鹼性食物,而磷、、硫等礦物質離子含量較多的,則屬於酸性食物,而所含的礦物質含量甚微者則列為中性食物,酸鹼程度 測試可依模擬食物在體燃燒代謝的過程方式,將食物乾燥燒成灰後用酸鹼滴定中和來得知
