Health and Disease Related To pH Imbalance In The Body
Most people who suffer from imbalanced pH are acidic. This condition forces the body to borrow minerals—including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium—from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity—a condition that may go undetected for years.
Mild acidosis can cause such problems as:
- Cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels and the reduction of oxygen.
- Weight gain, obesity and diabetes.
- Bladder and kidney conditions, including kidney stones.
- Immune deficiency.
- Acceleration of free radical damage, possibly contributing to cancerous mutations.
- Hormone concerns.
- Premature aging.
- Osteoporosis, weak or brittle bones, hip fractures and bone spurs.
- Joint pain, aching muscles and lactic acid build-up.
- Low energy and chronic fatigue.
- Slow digestion and elimination. Yeast/fungal overgrowth.
