So, a while ago I did a quick video post on balancing your blood sugar levels being the key to weight loss, which it is, however balancing your pH goes hand in hand with balancing your blood sugar & if you get it right not only will you stop storing extra fat but you will NEVER get another illness or suffer from any disease as long as you live! Sound Interesting? Read on.
So What Is pH?
Basically its the measure of Acidity to Alkalinity on a scale from 0-14. The closer to 0 the more acidic, the closer to 14 the more alkaline. Your stomach needs to be very acidic around 4 on the pH scale and the rest of your body should be slightly alkaline at around 7.35
Why Should I care About My pH?
Having a slightly alkaline pH in fundamental for good health. Remember that a truly healthy body wont store fat!!!.
If your body other than your stomach is not slightly alkaline you can suffer from a whole host of conditions. Metabolism will be negatively impacted, enzymes are not as effective, your immune system is hindered and your body becomes incapable of repairing itself.
But heres the biggie
In 1931 A doctor by the name of Otto Warburg won a Nobel Prize for his discovery that ”cancer cells thrive in an oxygen deficient, acidic blood environment”. He also concluded by saying that ”Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline, oxygenated blood environment ”.
So for the last 80 years the medical profession have known that cancer & every other disease (arthritis, joint pain, heart disease, diabetes, obesity etc) can only thrive in an acidic environment yet nothing has ever been done to make this common knowledge or even treat it effectively. My thoughts are that they will never do this as disease is very profitable and theres no money to be made by showing people how to alkalise their body effectively. Just my thoughts.
So If you want to live a long healthy life & drop your body fat you should read on because im going to show you how to do just that.
How Does Being Acidic Make Me Store Fat?
Being healthy is all well & good but I know most of you are here to learn how to drop body fat (I prefer doing both together!!) so let me explain. When you become acidic its a massive danger sign to the body as this acid is very toxic.
The human body is very capable of dealing with toxins and removing them, however when you are bombarded with as many toxins & harmful substances as we are today the human body becomes overwhelmed.
It does everything to survive & stay healthy by keeping as many toxins away from vital organs where they can do damage. It does this by storing the toxins in your fat cells keeping them as far away from your important organs as possible. If you dont have enough fat cells the body will simply create more to deal with the excess toxins.
This is why most people are overweight. It’s got nothing to do with eating too much & consuming to many calories or not doing enough exercise. Its because were all too acidic!!
Are You Always Tired & Sluggish Too?
Well hopefully you wont be suprised by now when I tell you that this too is bacause your too acidic. I hear people complaining all the time that theyre tired & cant be bothered to exercise but should we really be this tired? I know we all live busy & stressfull lifestyles but we should not be as tired and lifeless as so many are.
Check out the pictures below of blood under a microscope, the one on the left shows an acidic oxygen deprived environment & the one on right shows an oxygenated alkaline environment.
Acidic Blood Environment Alkaline Blood Environment
As you can see the acidic blood sample on the left is very clumped when compared to the alkaline blood sample on the left.
The job of your blood is to deliver oxygen to all the tissues around the body along with delivering important vitamins, minerals & amino acids along the way. It also picks up carbon dioxide to dispose of when you breathe. Each blood cell has a negative magnetic charge so they repel & bounce off one another delivering all their goodness at high speed.
BUT
When you are too acidic the blood loses its negative charge and starts clumping together & sludge through your body at a much slower speed struggling to absorb water, nutrients & oxygen & cant expel unhealthy toxins so again store them in fat cells.
This is when you start to feel a loss of energy & become an ideal host to yeast, bacteria, disease & sickness. This takes us back to the work of Dr Otto Warburg in 1931.
So How Did I Get So Acidic ?
Quite simply through your diet by eating more acid forming foods. The problem is that the western world diet is far too acidic by consuming high amounts of sugar & processed foods such as cereals, pasta, bread, potatoes, dairy, fizzy drinks, coffee, sweets, chocolate, crisps & drinking too much alcahol. suprisingly too many fruits are very acidic when eaten. It takes around 33 glasses of water to neutralise 1 glass of cola so you can see the problem.
Whats The Soloution?
Well ideally you would cut out as many of the acid forming foods as possible and really minimise them in your diet. Then replace them with more alkaline forming foods such as vegetables, spinach, watercress, brocoli, avacado, All leafy greens, nuts, seeds etc

What Else Can I do?
One little trick I reccommend every one gets in the habit of doing is mixing half a tea spoon of sodium bicarbonate with a glass of water 2-3 times per day. This is an extremely alkaline mineral & will help to alkalise the body. I usually ensure I do it first think when I wake up & again on an evening
Another thing I do routinely is add liquid chlorophyll to my water and drink it throughout the day. its a minty flavoured green drink that again helps keep you alkaline. You should definately give it a go.
Summary
When your body is slightly alkaline (around 7.35) you will be bursting with energy, you will have a bullet proof immune system where viruses, bacteria & disease cannot grow. You will rapidly let go of body fat and your skin bones & cells will regenerate keeping you young. If you want to ensure you remain in the alkaline pH then you must consume more alkaline foods and follow my suggested protocol of sodium bicarbonate 2-3 times a day alongside liquid chlorophyll throughout the day.
So there you have it, it really is very very simple if you want a metabolism that is in overdrive you need to train reguarly using some resistance in
