Unfortunately, few people living in the industrialized nations eat right and exercise regularly. As a result, today’s growing acidification problem stems from the way we in the Western world live our lives.
Consumption of too many acidifying foods such as sugars, proteins and cereal products is the biggest problem. Excessive consumption of stimulants with high acidity levels including coffee, tea, tobacco and even alcohol compounds the problem. What further worsens the situation is that consumption of alkaline foods such as vegetables that help neutralize acids is way down.
Stress, pressure, time constraints, and nervousness, which many of us cannot escape, all have an impact on the body’s ability to function normally. As a result, these too significantly increase the already high acid levels inside the body. Add to this the fact that people seem no longer capable of exercising in moderation. They either don’t exercise at all or they exercise excessively. Both further increase acid levels.
Food still is by far the factor that has the biggest impact on acid levels. For most people, excess acid levels can be brought back into balance simply by adjusting the diet so that more alkaline foods are consumed. Simply put, alkaline neutralizes acids.
