The Importance of Alkaline Balance in the Body
by Beverly Taylor
In order to function at optimum capacity, the internal
body environment must remain as close to neutral as
possible. It likes to measure in on the pH scale at 7.39.
When the body takes in an excessive amount of acids, as
it does so often as a result of making the wrong food
choices, this excess must be brought back into balance.
The way the body accomplishes this is by bringing the
acid and alkaline levels back into balance.
Each of the elements inside the body, the vitamins, amino
acids, fatty acids, minerals, sugars and trace elements,
can be categorized as either an acid or an alkaline. One
interesting fact about an acid and an alkaline element is
that when they are mixed together, they are able to cancel
each other out. The scientific term for what is created
when an alkaline and an acid element are combined is a
neutral salt.
Much in the same way as the neutral color gray results
when black and white are combined, and when the
neutral temperature of warm results when hot water is
combined with cold, a neutral salt cancels out the
inherent respective properties of the combined acid and
alkaline elements. With no acid or alkaline properties,
neutral salts have no impact on the cellular serums or
blood in which they are present.
When excess acid is present, the body must go out and
find alkaline elements to begin the process of neutralizing
this excess acid. Alkalines are usually present in the
blood, but because the blood cannot tolerate much
variation in its pH level, this is never a good source from
which to borrow. A better source for alkaline elements is
the internal organs and tissues. These areas can tolerate a
greater degree of pH level fluctuation.
Even though the internal organs and tissue can exist in the
short-term without all of the necessary alkaline, it is of
critical importance that the borrowed alkaline be replaced.
Normally this is not a problem. A healthy diet is generally
all it takes to replenish alkaline levels. But most people
don’t consume a healthy diet. It is this repeated
borrowing of alkaline without replacement that becomes a
serious situation.
In fact, given the way many people eat today, it is not
uncommon for alkaline to be borrowed and not
replenished every single day, and worse, many times in a
single day. Taking more alkaline than is being replenished
will sooner or later create a deficit. Alkaline has a
purpose. It is crucial to the properly functioning of the
internal organs and tissue. It is not present in the body so
that it can be used to help neutralize excessive acid.
A shortage of alkaline inside the body occurs much more
frequently than it should. The end result of this alkaline
mineral loss can be any number of different illnesses and
diseases and an overall feeling of poor health.
