Acid and alkaline are very alike, yet very opposite. They both are on the pH scale, but are on opposite sides. They both can cause damage, but they do it so differently. The pH scale includes 0-14. 0-6.9 is acidic, and 7.1-14 being alkaline, 7 being neutral (a common reference for 7 being table salt). It is said that having a high acidic level in your blood can be costly, but having a high alkaline level is healthy. Some reasons that support this idea include:
Cancer and disease tend to live longer, healthier, and more active in an acidic environment. Once pH level hits 8.0, cancer can die within hours.
Acidic blood running through veins can burn your arterial walls, leading to internal bleeding, and costly results
Pains are easily caused by a high acidic level, such as: migraines and arthritis.
Properly following some strict diets, or more easily, some leniant diets can allow you to live happier and healthier. Some bad foods include:
Cola-about 2.5-2.6 acid level, this is one of the worst acidic foods/drinks to have. Can't you feel the acid working on your teeth? It's gross! If you've never felt it, try this at home experiement. Open up a nice refreshing coke, take a sip, and feel how odd your teeth feel. Bet that'll stop ya from having another "refreshing" coke. It may be "Ice cold" but it's also loaded with acid, and sugar.
Anything sugary. Another reason why the above cola is bad, as most cola's have at least 50 grams of sugar. Yuck!
So, yes acidity can cause harm to your body. So eat healthy, eat smart, and you won't have to deal with cancer, migianes, or arthritis. Stay away from soda, sugar, and you'll be good!
