Most of us eat acid forming diets when our bodies are designed for an alkaline diet. The body becomes acidic via two processes; 1] from eating most common foods, i.e. meat, chicken, dairy, eggs, sugar, bread, etc. and 2] from normal cellular metabolism. It is important to keep the medium of the cell environment slightly alkaline so that we can; a] allow the transfer of nutrients across the cell membrane into the cell and for efficient waste extraction out of the cell, and b] for antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase and methionine reductase to neutralize free radicals before they damage cell membranes. Once the cell membrane is damaged, the contents of the cell including the nucleus and its organelles, are also destroyed by free radicals. This is how we age, one cell at a time or many cells at a time, depending on the volume of free radical activity. It is the alkaline reserve in the soft tissue (from eating alkaline forming food) that the body is designed to use first to buffer blood. When the body's soft tissue alkaline reserve is exhausted, the body will resort to drawing minerals from our bones to buffer blood (the body's top physiological priority, which if out of range, causes certain death). Calcium is moved from the bones via the kidneys into the blood to ensure blood's stable pH is held in a very narrow range of 7.35 - 7.45. This long-term, abnormal mineral metabolism contributes to loss of bone density and calcification of joints and blood vessels. Now there is an easy way to more rapidly shift the pH into the normal range using mineral salts of calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium, by simply drinking 2 or 3 glasses of water daily with ¼-1/2 teaspoon immunologic's pH Salts.
