Acid-Alkaline Balance

Proper Health starts with the correct acid-alkaline balance in your body. The pH level (acid - alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. Extended acid imbalances of any kind can overwhelm your body, and lead to health complications. 

Just as the body regulates its temperature in a rigid manner, so will it manage to preserve a very narrow pH range - especially in the blood. As a matter of fact, the body will go to such great lengths to maintain a blood pH of 7.365 that it will even create stress on other tissues, body systems, and organs to do so. Chronic acidity will interrupt all cellular activities and functions - it interferes with life itself.

When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), we may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even more serious disorders.

The cycle of acidity begins primarily as a result of three things:

1. Ingesting acids. Eating too many acidifying foods like processed sugar, meats, dairy, coffee, alcohol, etc. Create an acid ash in the body. These acids can overload the body’s ability to neutralize them.

2. Creation of acids. Pathogens and microforms create acidifying toxins in the body. As the body becomes more and more acidic, bad bacteria, yeasts and other microforms proliferate in the body. Since these organisms are living, they eat as well as create resulting toxins. These toxins are often very acidifying.

3. Improper elimination of acids. Not all acids are the same; some are weak and some are strong. Weak acids like citric acid are much easier to neutralize than strong acids like uric acid. The body uses many systems in order to buffer acids including breath, mineral reserves, and fat. When the body’s buffering systems become compromised, excess acids build up.

The process of reestablishing acid-alkaline balance begins with proper diet and nutrition. This includes eating alkalizing foods (vegetables, low sugar fruits, etc.), super hydration (drinking plenty of alkaline water that is ionic and structured), and proper supplementation.

酸碱平衡

适当的健康始于您体内正确的酸碱平衡。我们体内液体的 pH 值（酸 - 碱测量）会影响我们体内的每个细胞。任何类型的长期酸失衡都会使您的身体不堪重负，并导致健康并发症。

正如身体以严格的方式调节温度一样，它也会设法保持一个非常窄的 pH 值范围——尤其是在血液中。事实上，身体会竭尽全力将血液的 pH 值保持在 7.365，甚至会对其他组织、身体系统和器官造成压力。慢性酸度会中断所有细胞活动和功能 - 它会干扰生命本身。

当身体的 pH 值失去平衡（太酸）时，我们可能会感到精力不足、疲劳、体重过重、消化不良、疼痛和疼痛，甚至更严重的疾病。

酸度循环的开始主要是由于三件事：

1. 摄入酸。吃太多酸化食物，如加工糖、肉类、奶制品、咖啡、酒精等。在体内产生酸性灰烬。这些酸会使身体中和它们的能力超负荷。

2. 酸的产生。病原体和微生物会在体内产生酸化毒素。随着身体变得越来越酸性，坏细菌、酵母菌和其他微生物在体内大量繁殖。由于这些生物是活的，它们会吃东西并产生毒素。这些毒素通常非常酸化。

3、除酸不当。并非所有的酸都是一样的。有些弱，有些强。柠檬酸等弱酸比尿酸等强酸更容易中和。身体使用许多系统来缓冲酸，包括呼吸、矿物质储备和脂肪。当身体的缓冲系统受到损害时，就会产生过多的酸。

重新建立酸碱平衡的过程始于适当的饮食和营养。这包括吃碱性食物（蔬菜、低糖水果等）、超级补水（饮用大量离子和结构化的碱性水）和适当的补充。 （以上信息摘自www.alkaline.org）

Do You know

Colon or colorectal cancer is the form of cancer that develops in the colon, rectum and appendix.

Colon cancer is the number two cancer killer in the U.S. of both men and women, just after the lung cancer.

The above is extracted From http://www.secretsofhealthylife.com

Colorectal cancer is now the commonest cancer in many countries. It affects males and females alike. Most persons diagnosed with colorectal cancer are older than 45 years of age. Common symptoms persons have, are a change in bowel habits, such as persistent diarrhea or constipation or a change in the frequency of stools. Passing blood mixed with stools is also suspicious sign which always need prompt medical attention. Other symptoms include persistent ill-defined abdominal discomfort or pain.

你知道吗?

结肠癌或结肠直肠癌是在结肠、直肠和阑尾发展的癌症形式。

结肠癌每年在全世界造成 655,000 人死亡，它是世界上癌症相关死亡的第二大原因。年龄会增加患结肠癌的风险。大约 90% 的结肠癌病例发生在 50 岁以上的人群中。

在美国，每四分钟就有一人被诊断出患有结肠直肠癌。每九分钟就有一人死于结肠癌。 在美国，每年大约有 150,000 例新诊断出的结肠癌病例。

结肠癌是美国男性和女性的第二大癌症杀手，仅次于肺癌。
