Acid-Alkaline Balance and Your Health
Inside the human body, the acid-alkaline balance is important since many functions in the body occur only at a certain level of acidity or alkalinity. Many enzymes and chemical reactions in the body work best at a particular pH. A small change in pH can have a profound effect on body function. In addition, different parts of the body have different levels of acidity and alkalinity. Diet is one factor that influences acid-alkaline balance both through the acid or alkaline forming nature of the foods that are eaten and through the nutrient content which affects metabolism. Nutrient-rich traditional diets provide the essential factors necessary for excellent metabolism, good acid-alkaline regulation, and optimal health.
