Balance Your PH Level

If you take a look at the list of things you consume every day, you will probably see that most products lower the physical pH level or increase the acidity.

When these foods get into your body, they can have a negative effect on the body that you should definitely be aware of. This can make your body susceptible to many types of serious conditions.

To better understand this process, it’s important to know that the pH level in your body plays a very important role in your overall health.

However, our contemporary lifestyle and especially our food choices can significantly disrupt our physical pH.

It is therefore very important to develop better eating habits and consume more foods that keep the balance of our body intact, which also happens to help against heartburn.

4 ways to balance your pH level

1. Nutrition

As we mentioned above, what you eat is very important for the acidity in your body and for keeping your pH level in balance.

That’s why it’s helpful to know which foods make your body more acidic and which can raise the pH level, making it more alkaline.

‘You are what you eat’, we have said this several times and we will continue to do so. Therefore, you should include more foods in your daily diet  that are rich in potassium, magnesium and calcium.

• Some examples of good foods are: fruits, vegetables (especially leafy greens), grains and honey.
• Foods you should not overdo: dairy, cheese, red meat, refined grains, white sugar, tea and coffee.

2. Exercise

If you have a predominantly sedentary lifestyle, this slows down the physical processes and makes it more difficult to keep your pH level in balance.

Experts therefore recommend following a diet and exercise schedule that is appropriate for your age and physical fitness. This boosts your metabolism, which is said to promote the elimination of toxins.

3. Emotional Balance

According to Harvard Medical School, having a healthy body means having both your physical and mental well-being as well as being in a healthy social environment.

A healthy mind means a healthy body and vice versa. When we get carried away by stress, the hormones in our bodies cannot function properly, which can cause toxins to build up in the body.

If you want to increase your pH level, it is important to combat stress and balance your emotional well-being.
