BODY FLAMES

Stealth Killer and…A Menace to your health?
Inflammation in the body can be a silent killer of your good health.
Sometimes inflammation is a good thing. The body uses it to protect against infection and for healing itself from injury. As when you have a sprained ankle. Blood and fluids are sent to the injured area swelling it, helping to immobilize the ankle so that your body is given time to send nutrients to start the repair process. There is a chronic type that is neither healing nor protective, but aggravating. Wrecking havoc within the body causing unwanted symptoms, from headaches to weight gains.


Some body flames are easily noticed because you can feel the symptoms, such as arthritis,allergies,and asthma.
What you are in fact feeling is the end results of the inflammation, such as the aches and pains and deteriorating bones or joints.

But what about the stealth flames that have been attacking your cells, organs and blood vessels silently over a period of years? These cellular types of flames are the ones that produce no immediate painful symptoms and eventually could lead to heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis ,alzheimer's disease, diabetes and stomach complaints.

So what causes inflammation? Imbalances of nutrients and added stress to the body!
STRESS is one of the most significant causes of acidic conditions in your body.
Disease and illness thrive in an acidic environment but can't survive in an alkaline environment.
• "Alkalinity" equals oxygen and oxygen equals good health.
• To maintain healthy pH balance, your body must have an abundant supply of ionic minerals - especially calcium.


Is Your Body Acidic?
Some of the symptoms associated with acidic conditions in the body include weight loss problems, insomnia, water retention, arthritis, migraine headaches, constipation, colds, flu, stomach ulcers, acid reflux and even cancer. Many health experts agree that an overly acidic body greatly diminishes the effectiveness of your immune system and usually leads to disease.
Acidic conditions in the body are caused by: junk food, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, sodas, coffee, sports drinks, alcohol, environmental toxins, and stress.
Considering this long list of items that can lead to acidic challenges in our body, it becomes very clear why we must maintain a certain ph balance within the body to combat inflammation and diseases.


WHY pH balance is critical to your health
In order for the body to maintain optimal health, it needs to manage a very narrow pH range (slightly alkaline) - especially in the blood. In fact, the body will go to almost any length necessary to maintain your blood pH at 7.34 – 7.45 because anything outside that pH range could result in death.

The process of restoring pH balance in your body always includes proper diet and nutrition. This means eating alkalizing foods (vegetables, low sugar fruits, etc.) and getting proper nutritional supplementation. However, the foundation of healthy pH balance is in drinking plenty of alkaline water.

Measuring Acid/ Alkaline Balance:
Scientists can determine if a liquid is alkaline or acidic by simply testing the "pH" of that liquid. "pH" means "potential hydrogen." The pH scale range is from 0-14 with 7 being "neutral." Readings below 7 are acidic and readings above 7 are alkaline. A one-point decrease on the pH scale represents that a liquid is 10 times more acidic. For example, a drop from 7.0 (neutral) to 2.0 means a liquid is 100,000 times more acidic to your body!
