A Balanced Body
Stable acid-alkaline balance of your blood is essential for your wellbeing. Your body is very good at keeping plasma pH within the slightly alkaline range of 7.35-7.45.
When your body is more acidic than alkaline, this can create an internal environment that is more conducive to illness as it becomes difficult for your body to maintain healthy function.
On A Scale of Acid to Alkaline
Acid and alkaline levels are measured on a pH scale. An increase in acidity causes pH levels to fall while an increase in alkalinity causes pH levels to rise.
During times of acidity, the body pulls vital minerals out of the bones to maintain its normal pH range. Conversely, in times of alkalinity when the same minerals are in excess, the kidneys process these out of the body by excreting them in urine.
While this maintains plasma pH, it affects bone mineral density on one hand, and puts extra load on the kidneys, on the other.

Top Tips
The acid-alkaline balance of your internal environment can be influenced by external diet and lifestyle factors. Taking simple steps in these three areas can help you maintain your balance and wellbeing!
Nutrition
If you eat more acid-forming foods than those that are alkalising, this can create ‘low-grade metabolic acidosis’. A diet high in cheese, meat, pasta and white bread are just some examples of acid-promoting foods. A healthy, balanced diet high in vegetables and fruits provides alkalising minerals. It’s also important to stay well hydrated.
Exercise
Regular exercise can help promote alkalinity by improving circulation and metabolism. Aerobic exercise that combines cardio and controlled breathing helps your body to remove excess acid – try swimming, jogging or walking.
Lifestyle
Stress, an all-too-common feature of our modern lifestyle, can accumulate over time and increase acid imbalance within the body. Relaxation practices that encourage deep breathing are naturally alkalising. To relieve stress and promote alkalinity, try techniques such as deep breathing, yoga, tai chi, meditation and mindfulness.
