Re: Ph Balance 5.0 and have questions concering it/ Please help.

Hi

If the 5.0 is an indication of your “normal” pH and long term level, it would say it is at an unhealthy level. I know, I was there myself. If at that level for quite level, you will most probably be depleted of various minerals. As the body will try to counteract the acidosis buy neutralizing with minerals.

If your digestion were functioning well, I thing you would be required to eat 80% of Alkalizing food and 20% of acid making kind. These are rough figures. The problem arises when the digestive system is no longer functioning well.

To have an introduction to the concepts of this forum I would encourage you to start with http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1432095#i
and go further down within the included links to various topics.

The Moreless alkalizing drink is good way to obtain a variety of minerals. But it will help to stop to do what caused your problems, and improve the quality of your nutrition.

There is so much that can be learned, but it will be time well invested, I promise.

About water retention
===============

In my opinion, a low pH may contribute to water retention as the body will try to increase the body's pH by retaining water, reducing the concentration of acids. Also, a low pH will prevent elimination of some acids like uric acids by the kidneys. Retention of water will be an attempt to reduce the concentration of uric acids. Long exposition of such will lead to gout, arthritis and other join problems, among other things.

Water retention can also be an indication if unbalance of sodium/potassium ratios. Too much sodium (as in salt) will make the body retain water. That is something I learned here, and my water retention is much lower now that I understand it. Many people has observed weight loss http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/weight_gain.html
by using raw, unfiltered, un-pasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV). One reason being of the potassium content of ACV.

Try it. It is cheap and easy to find.

It is never too late to start in the right direction. A long journey start with a first step.

So, Good Luck and Welcome
