 Fewer molds and funguses living in the body (most molds and funguses
thrive in an acidic environment)

To achieve optimal pH balance in the body of 7.2-7.4, most experts suggest that
you eat a diet consisting of approximately 80% alkaline foods and 20% acidic
foods. Unfortunately, the modern Western diet tends to consist of way too many
acidic foods, so most of us end up eating a diet that is exact the opposite! As a
result, many Western people have a pH in the range of 5.5-6.5, which is highly
acidic and unhealthy.
If you are curious to determine what your pH is, you can buy pH strips to test
your own pH level at any health food or drug store. They can work with both
saliva and urine, but testing urine is usually considered more accurate, because
the pH of the saliva can be influenced by what you have eaten recently. The
strips turn different colors depending on the pH, and pH strips usually come with
a color chart so you can map the colors to different pH levels.
In addition to the diseases caused by over-acidity, one of the primary reasons
that you may carry excess body fat is because your body requires fat cells to trap
and store the excess acidic waste products in your diet. Your body must maintain
the pH in its blood stream in a fairly narrow range to survive, and when you eat
too many acidic foods, you overwhelm your body's natural mechanisms that flush
out these acidic waste products. In order to keep the pH in the blood stream in
the narrow range necessary for survival, your body wraps these acidic waste
products in fat cells to store them safely. And as long as it needs those fat cells
to store the excess acidic waste products from the foods you are eating, and as
long as you continue to eat overly acidic foods, your body will resist burning
those fat cells, even if you are on a calorie deprivation diet!
So, if you want to release excess fat and be healthier, it is important that you get
your body's pH balanced, ideally in the optimal 7.2-7.4 range.
