Diet stresses acid-base balance


According to statistics, the number of hypertension patients in China is as high as 100 million, and this number is still increasing. Why do we have the strange phenomenon that "the better the living conditions are, the more dangerous diseases there are?"

Scientific research shows that the health status of the human body has a very close relationship with its body fluid pH. In general, physically strong, energetic people, whose body fluids always remain weakly alkaline; poor physical fitness, easily suffocating fatigued people, the body fluids are often acidic. How is the acidic constitution formed? The food we eat in our daily life will decompose into acidic substances in the body's metabolic process. For example, proteins will decompose to produce sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, and fats will decompose to produce fatty acids and acetoacetates. If you eat too much food, especially high-protein, high-fat, high-sugar and other highly nutritious foods, it will cause the body to produce a large number of acidic substances, affecting the body's metabolism, and long years will lead to acidic constitution.

Why does acidic constitution affect human health and cause disease? This is because the human body is like a big pond. Body fluid is the water in the pond. Cells are the fish in the pond. If the water is contaminated, the fish will become ill or even die. Human body fluids are contaminated by acidic substances, and human tissue cells must undergo mutation or death, and people must become ill. Japanese studies have found that for every 0.1 drop in the body fluid's pH, insulin activity is reduced by 30%. Another study reported that the pH value around the cancer cells was 6.85 to 6.95, which was acidic, and the pH value when the immune cells had the strongest activity was 7.35 to 7.45, which was weakly alkaline.

How to improve the acidity? This will control the excessive intake of high nutrients. In addition, the easiest way is to supplement an important substance. This kind of material is called “chitin ecology” in the United States, “chitosan” in Western Europe, and “save more good” in Japan, and we call it “the sixth element of life”. It is the only edible animal fiber in the world known to contain free amino basic groups. This substance is extracted from shrimp shells and crab shells. It is a natural sea food. Fungi such as Ganoderma lucidum, mushrooms, and insects also contain this substance.
