A Better Health

To reinforce our health and to maintain the pink of health, the most easy and important step is to neutralizing our pH value in our body, meaning that we have to maintain our pH value in our blood(alkaline) as acidic is bad to our human bodies.

According to Johnson (2011), "The human body is a complex machine that performs several functions simultaneously. The fuel needed for these functions is derived from the food that we consume.This food is burned or digested by the digestive juices so as to release energy which is used for the different bodily functions." Thus, consuming abundance of alkaline foods is essential in order to our pH level balance which means that we have to take approximately 30 percent of acidic food and approximately 70 percent of alkaline food in our diet.

Having an acidic level will eventually cause an individual to: decrease the ability in food/ nutrition absorption, lower the energy production, weaken the ability to repair damaged cells and to detoxify heavy metals, increase the tumors' expansion, increase fatigue and illness; these can lead to coma and death.
