Acid/Alkaline Balance

Scientists have found that healthy people have bodies that are slightly Alkaline 7.1 to 7.5 pH. Scientists and doctors have also found that over 150 degenerative diseases are linked to acidity, including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, gall and kidney stones and many more. All diseases thrive in and acidic, oxygen poor environment.

A drop in every point on the pH scale is 10 times more acidic. i.e. from 7 to 6 is 10 times, from 7 to 5 is 100 times, from 7 to 2 is 100,000 times more acidic. Sodas are in the acidic range of 2 pH. Almost everything we do, including our lifestyles and diets push us into the acidic range: proteins, carbohydrates and fats are all digested down to acids. Metabolic functions and exercise create Lactic acid. Body fluids then range between 4.5 and 7.5 pH (your blood must maintain an alkaline range of 7.35 to 7.45 pH). It takes 32 glasses of alkaline water to neutralize the acid from one 12 oz. soda. Each time you drink acidic soda, coffee, tea, and energy drinks your body uses its own buffers (from bone and dna) to raise the body's alkalinity to maintain your healthy blood pH level of 7.35-7.45.

Combat Acidosis with Xooma Xtreme X2O Bodyfuel.

The body must maintain our blood a slightly alkaline pH of 7.4. However, 2 major factors make this difficult.

1. The body’s own activities produce acidic wastes such as lactic acid.
2. Almost everything we eat and drink has an acidic pH of 2.5-6.5.

The body fights a constant and losing battle to compensate. When these acids cannot be eliminated effectively, a low pH condition called Acidosis can result, making the body susceptible to degenerative diseases.

When treated with X2O the pH of your drinking water is raised to 9.6. It is one of the few foods available that can help counteract acidity in the diet.
