Silent Signs That Indicate a Person’s Body is too Acidic and How to Avoid It
The body is also more prone to bacteria and
illnesses if you are acidic. Acidosis is not a minor health issue to just set
aside. You’ll never know when its symptoms occur.
Mild acidosis (poor pH balance) can cause the
following:
1. Joint pain and aching muscles
Too much acid in the body can cause the muscles to
constrict, which further obstructs the oxygen-carrying blood capillaries
running through the muscles, causing strain and oxygen deprivation. Muscle pain
accompanied by fatigue is an even clearer indication of an acid overload in the
body.
2. Osteoporosis
When your fluids are too acidic, your body will do
everything in its power to maintain an alkaline balance to keep functioning
properly. The body will compensate by pulling minerals from your tissues and
other organs to alkalize and minimize acidity. One of these minerals is calcium
found in your bones, necessary for maintaining their strength. Your bones
become weak when your body depletes their calcium reserve in order to
neutralize the acidity of your body.
3. Cavities, inflamed sensitive gums
Just as your bones hold calcium, so do your teeth.
Excess acid in the body also results in your system pulling calcium from your
teeth to alkalize your body and prevent it from getting sick. You may also
develop cavities, which may be particularly painful when you consume something
sweet. Another associated symptom includes bleeding gums, which may occur right
after you brush your teeth.
4. Respiratory problems or coughs
Mucus production is the body’s natural defense
mechanism against an acid buildup in an effort to flush it out of the body
through the nasal passage. It might also indicate an acid buildup in the nasal
passage itself.
5. Weight gain, obesity
When your body’s alkaline balance is not maintained,
there is excess waste product in the form of acid in your body. This excess
acid is not being eliminated because the colon, kidneys, lymph system and skin
— organs responsible for flushing toxins out of the body— are overwhelmed with
a torrent of toxins from the excess acid. This is the reason you are unable to
lose weight when your body is too acidic.
Here are the ways to improve your alkalinity and get
over your acidity problems
1. Remove acidic foods
2. Drink plenty of water
3. Check you pH daily
4. Associate your meal with green leafy vegetables
5. Minimize consuming processed foods
6. Replace soda and coffee with herbal tea and green
drinks
7. Try coconut milk or almond milk instead of the
traditional dairy milk
