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!
