A Healthy pH balance means a Healthy Immune System

A healthy pH balance means a healthy immune system

The body’s immune system is our only line of defense against a world filled with bacteria, viruses, fungus, yeasts, and molds. The onslaught is constant, beneficial and harmful bacteria wage a constant war for supremacy in your intestines, airborne mold assaults your sinuses, and yeast tries to grow on you whether you like it or not! The pH balance in your intestines is what determines whether the good bacteria will win, or the bad.
To win the battle, your immune system has to be able to defeat these invaders 100% of the time. Should the immune system have a weak moment, or become compromised, the misery of disease is sure to follow.

How pH balance Affects the Immune System
The immune system depends on several systems in the body in order to function at peak efficiency. Some of the systems that the immune system depends on are: the digestive tract, lymph system, blood, and interstitial fluids (between cells). Most of the body’s systems depend on an alkaline pH balance for proper function, except for the inside the stomach and urinary tract which normally have an acidic balance.
The cells that make up these systems “breathe” in nutrients, water and oxygen and they “exhale” acidic metabolic wastes. Cells will exhale wastes when the environment inside of them becomes more acidic than the environment outside of them. If the body’s environment becomes too acidic, the cells can’t exhale wastes.
A pH imbalance (acidic diet) can cause the cells to suffocate, and when that happens, the functions of the body that depends on those cells start breaking down. When the systems that support the immune system become weakened by this suffocation, the function of the immune system will break down. Continuous cell suffocation will result in cell death, and body death will invariably follow.

The Alkaline Way to pH Balance
In Sojourn to Honduras Sojourn to Healing: Why An Herbalist's View Matters More Today Than Ever Before by Beverly Oliver, Herbalist Dr.Sebi explains how maintaining an alkaline pH balance supports a healthy immune system, and prevents diseases:
How some foods been traditionally called nutritious vegetables, are acid based stimulants. "They're hybrids.  Carrots will undermine your immune system,"

The carrot, a hybrid? That garden variety made orange by Dutch geneticists in the 17th century, and the carrot people eat today, yes. Wild carrots now and over 2,000 years ago are white, purple and yellow. They were used by ancient Greeks and Romans for medicinal purposes according to the California Foundation for Agriculture. They have a woody  texture and bitter taste. But selective breeding down through the years changed all that. Plant geneticists inserted large amounts of beta-carotene in the parent plant, giving wild carrots a sweet taste and the familiar orange color.

The goal of the Alkaline approach is to reverse intracellular acidosis, which impairs electron transport, reduces energy production, and impedes detoxification. Immune responses directly and indirectly generate substantial amounts of acidic products. The immune system itself generates acidic wastes! These acidic wastes must be dealt with in order to keep the immune system functioning efficiently.  The True "Alkaline Way" depends on four things to maintain the body’s alkaline balance:

• Alkaline Foods
• Alkaline Water
• Relaxation
• Exercise

Each part of the Alkaline Way is important. Alkaline Foods and water provide buffers – alkaline compounds that the body uses to counteract cell-suffocating acidic wastes. Relaxation reduces stress, which is important because stress does contribute to body acidity. Exercise reduces stress, and maintains a healthy heart which is necessary in order to maintain the movement of blood that carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and removes wastes from them.
How Alkaline Water helps you achieve a healthy pH Balance
Alkaline Water is rich in important alkaline minerals, and it's super-hydrating and energizing as a result of electrolysis filtering, which removes bacteria, chlorine, fluoride, other chemicals, sediment, and bad tastes and odors, leaving the vital minerals for easy absorption by our bodies.
