Bones and Ph Balance

Do you exercise?  I hope you do.  How important is having healthy strong bones to you? Yeah right!!! Very important!And have you ever felt that soreness days after your workout?  That muscle soreness associated with exercise is known as delayed onset muscle soreness or DOMS. Some think that this soreness comes from the lactic acid produced by the strenuous use of your muscles. But that's a subject for another time.  How can you make sure that your bones stay strong and healthy even when you build up the lactic acid from exercising? In fact the most common cause of lactic acidosis is intense exercise.

As we know our body wants to maintain its ph balance.  You can check this yourself with kits that are available.  Optimal ph levels for saliva is  around 7.365, and optimal ph levels for urine is about 6.8.  To survive your body will steal acid buffers that are used to keep organs or bones healthy.  For instance the calcium in your bone will be...let's say appropriated for buffering your body's acid even if it causes osteoporosis.  Ph balance is that important to your existence. Nothing will continue to work properly if your Ph balance is not maintained.

So we cannot ignore the significance of Ph balance when it comes to the health of our bones, and our overall health. Be sure that you include a strategy to maintain proper Ph balance every time you undertake an exercise regimen.  You have probably heard of the PH diet.  By eating alkalizing foods you can promote healthy body ph balance.

 Whether you’re an elite endurance athlete or a weekend warrior, taking a sports supplement with lactic acid buffers such as potassium and magnesium is not only a good way to gain a competitive edge, it is also essential for overall health! This video highlights the importance of maintaining your Ph balance.

Ph Balance and Chronic Diseases

Take a look at the following list. Have you experience any of these conditions? These are chronic illnesses that can happen when you are out of ph-balance:

1)     Chronic acid reflux

2)     Osteoporosis

3)     Kidney disease

4)     Muscle wasting

5)     Dissolution to bone

6)     Kidney stone formation

7)     Damage to the kidney

8)     Increased bone demineralization

9)     Calcium containing kidney stones

10) Metabolic bone disease

11) Calcium nephrolithiasis

12) Chronic muscle and joint pain

13) Chronic inflammation

          These chronic problems may typically come from improperly managed inflammation and acid/alkaline imbalances. When you're out of ph balance chronic inflammation can occur as a result of the increase of free radicals occurring in greater abundance than the body's ability to remove them. The call that oxidative stress.

          When you're too acidic your body becomes a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria, yeast and fungi while an alkaline environment helps to keep things in check. We always think we catch a cold when we catch a bug or germ from someone else. I know you'll be surprised to learn that many common infections are actually caused by bacteria that we normally have in our body. And when we are too acidic, our bodies create fertile ground for these pathogens to multiply and flourish. Everything from a runny nose to skin eruptions, heartburn, eczema, inflammation, arthritis, poor circulation, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, a weakened immune system to the chronic diseases of aging can be tracked back in some way to an acidic inner terrain.  This leads to a toxic environment in your body.

          Here again is why ph balance is such a big deal. Our overall health can be affected.  Your body doesn't just sit back and accept being out of balance. It will start robbing alkaline minerals from your bones, teeth, muscles and organs. The biggest problem with losing alkaline minerals, is losing calcium from bones leading to osteopenia and magnesium

from muscles and organs leading to sarcopenia.(the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass)
