Foods To Improve The pH Levels In Your Body

In a previous article I wrote about the importance of maintaining proper pH levels in your body. I pointed out that the right pH levels in your body are a necessity for optimum health. If you took chemistry classes in high school, you studied about pH levels. You probably forgot almost everything about pH levels upon graduation. I know I did.

Up until I was diagnosed and successfully treated for Advanced Head and Neck cancer, I couldn't tell you what the PH stood for. I'm ashamed to say that health issues were not a major concern for me. That's very unfortunate. Had I take better care of my health there is a very good chance that I would not have gotten cancer. At least that's what my doctors told me. Almost immediately after being diagnosed with cancer, I decided I wanted to know everything about this dreaded disease as possible. I continue to be a student of health issues.

In my last article I promised to research the best foods for maintaining proper pH levels in your body and what foods would help correct levels. You will find the results of that research below.

The following foods can help lower your pH levels when your pH levels are too high (alkalosis):

For slightly high pH level:

Bacon

Barley

Brown Rice

Eggs

The following foods that can help raise your pH levels and improve your health when your pH levels are too low (Acidosis):

Oranges

Peaches

Pears

Peas

When you pH levels are low, raising them can improve your energy level. It will also help improve the health of patients with many different diseases, including cancer and diabetes. These and many other diseases are dependent on an acidic, low oxygen environment for survival. Disease can not survive in a well oxygenated environment..

"Starved of oxygen our bodies will become ill, and if this persists it will die." Dr. John Muntz, Nutritional Scientist.

When I was diagnosed with cancer my pH level and my oxygen level were both low. Today, I make sure I maintain healthy pH and oxygen levels in my body. You should too.
