When there are more and more acidic substances in the body, quantitative change causes qualitative change, which will lead to diseases.
In the long-term life evolution, the human body has formed a relatively stable and slightly alkaline internal environment. Normal blood PH should be around 7.4 (7.35-7.45). This phenomenon of constant pH is called acid-base balance. However, these people only account for about 10% of the total population. Modern people's eating habits and excessive intake of acidic foods make the human body much more acidic than alkaline. More people's body fluid PH is below 7.35, and their bodies are in a sub-health state between health and disease.
Newborn babies are generally weak alkaline body fluids, but with the growth of age, with the external environmental pollution and abnormal living and eating habits in the body, our constitution gradually turns acidic. The alkaline content in human body fluids (including blood) shows a downward curve, indicating the degree of acidification, which means more and more aging.
In order to delay aging, modern people began to pay attention to drinking water health, and advocated drinking weakly alkaline water, that is, natural water with PH value of 7. 1-7.8. Fashion women love to eat fruits and vegetables because these substances naturally metabolize in the body to form alkaline substances. In fact, water is a better "neutralizer" than vegetables and fruits. Natural minerals in water can be directly absorbed by human body without metabolism, which plays a role in maintaining body fluid balance.
Alkaline food recommendation
1. Apple. Fruit is the most digestible food and the best cleanser in the body. Among fruits, apples are called the best alkaline food, which can improve the acidic constitution to maintain the acid-base balance of the human body. Eating apples can quickly neutralize excessive acidic substances in the body, thus enhancing physical strength and disease resistance. In addition to neutralizing the acid-base balance, research and analysis also show that eating apples often is beneficial to lose weight, because apples will increase satiety, and eating before meals can reduce food intake and achieve the purpose of losing weight.
2. Vegetables: Almost all vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, are alkaline foods. They are rich in vitamins and minerals and can supplement the body with nutrition. A large amount of cellulose in vegetables can also improve the digestive function of the human body and maintain the health of the stomach. Therefore, it is very suitable to use them to neutralize a large number of acidic foods in the body, such as meat and starch, to help food digest and excrete in time.
