So this week, I saw algae appearing around the edge of my pool. It had been a few weeks since I took my water in to get tested. It was just a LITTLE off and BOOM! There it goes. Interestingly, the water itself was STILL beautiful and crystal clear. But the imbalance was impacting the water anyway...we just couldn't see it until it CLUNG to the edges.
SOOOOO...you know what is coming!

Look, this is not the only metrix to test our health but it is important.
For the last 20 years, Bill and I have been testing our pH (power of hydrogen) in our bodies. Just the little strips in our bathroom. But enough to know. This knowledge alone of our body either being balanced and alkaline or out of balance and acidic truly can depict our level of health. The more I learn about leveling the pH, the more I am worried for the health of the entire world. Look at how the world eats, look at what we drink...all acidic. No wonder there are health issues everywhere. The more I researched an acidic body the more I got scared. There are not many disease or major illness that can survive in an alkaline environment in the body...or it is rare. Our immune systems are weaker than ever and acidosis could be part of the problem...
Bottom line? An over acidic body is a dangerous condition that weakens ALL body systems. It is very common. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, as opposed to a pH balanced environment which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease. A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves to meet emergency demands. When excess acids must be neutralized our alkaline reserves are depleted leaving the body in a weakened condition.
Are you acidic? You can buy pH strips at any health food store to check. But, do you have signs and symptoms of acidosis?
Headaches
Sleepiness
Confusion
Heartburn
Reflux
Increased Heart Rate
Shortness of Breath
COUGH
Cronic sicknesses
An over acidic body can also cause:
Cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels and the reduction of oxygen.
Weight gain, obesity and diabetes.
Bladder and kidney conditions, including kidney stones.
Immune deficiency.
Acceleration of free radical damage, possibly contributing to cancerous mutations.
Hormone concerns.
Premature aging.
Osteoporosis; weak, brittle bones, hip fractures and bone spurs.
Joint pain, aching muscles and lactic acid buildup.
Low energy and chronic fatigue.
Slow digestion and elimination.
Yeast/fungal overgrowth.
Being acidic forces the body to borrow mineralsβincluding calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesiumβfrom vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidityβa condition that may go undetected for years. Acidosis combined with lack of oxygenated blood due to shallow breathing, lack of exercise and dietary factors also inhibit
proper pH balance.
So, ho do we balance pH? EASY---A clean diet. The chart above helps to determine what to eat. It is just a pure, clean diet and exercise. I help my pH also by probiotics which aid my digestion, clean out the GI tract and make the vitamins, minerals and nutrients I DO take more absorbable. THRIVE does this! Just give it a try to get your health, your body and namely your digestion in BALANCE. In just a few weeks, Le-Vel is kicking out a new product BOOST which is greens and other amazing ingredients to help get our bodies to NEUTRAL pH. Whooooooo!
Please research this important issue on your own. I think you will find amazing, yet shocking information that will be motivation to a life-change. I WANT everyone healthy! I WANT everyone giving their family the BEST of them not the rest of them. One by one, I want everyone to make their health...a priority.
XOXO...let's GO!
