What is Acid-Alkaline Balance? The nutritional and chemical make-up of each person is unique. Therefore, the dietary needs vary from person to person. However, the root of all good health and well-being lies in maintaining the integrity of the body systems: digestive, intestinal, circulatory, nervous, immune, respiratory, urinary, glandular and structural. acid alkaline balance... Since we are the sum total of all our parts (mental, physical and emotional) taking care of the cellular environment, through biochemical rebalancing, will help the body withstand stress. This can be done by incorporating an Alkaline Based Diet. A persons’ body works best when their diet consists of 75% alkaline forming foods and 25% acid forming foods. The Standard American Diet (SAD) produces an acid state within the organism, thus causing a breeding ground for a variety of chronic illnesses and dis-ease. Most everything the average person eats and/or drinks is acid forming. Alkalizing the body aids in transformation. Most people will wonder how a diet so simple can have such powerful results. Putting it simply, acids are corrosive, causing inflammation and body breakdown. The Alkaline Based diet is not drastic, but creates a balance within the body that is long-lasting without rebounding.
