Is “Acid in Stomach” Unhealthy? Explained By Dr. Berg

Get my Digest Formula:

hello so we’re going to talk about is being acid  unhealthy I hear this so much where everyone needs to alkalize or you’re going to die right  that we need to alkalize the body because acid is unhealthy first of all you need to know that  your body has different acid and alcohol levels it’s not just one for example your saliva ranges  between 6. 5 and 7. 5 so just realize 7 is neutral anything higher is alkaline anything lower is acid  okay so we got six point five that’s slightly acid seven point five it’s slightly alkaline so your  saliva should range and by the way when you go from a seven to an eight that’s by a factor of  ten times more alkaline or seven to six is ten times more acid so it’s it’s it’s magnified so  it’s a lot of is slightly alkaline side slightly acidic small intestine seven to eight point five  so your small intestine is usually slightly aklan but the large intestine is between four and six  that’s acid interesting so check out the blood it’s a very very narrow range between seven point  three five slightly alkaline and seven point four or five which is a little more alkaline it’s  such a narrow range that’s interesting to me that it’s that tight of a controlled pH so  I guess when people talk about being acid or alkaline or alkalosis or acidosis they’re  really talking about the pH and the blood so if your pH is between like seven point four six  or seven or eight you’re going to basically be have alkalosis if it’s seven point three four or  seven point three three you’re going to be have acidosis even though it’s off just slightly okay  but that’s a whole different seminar the point I want to make is that your body has different ph’s  in different fluids your stomach should be between one and three you realize how acid that is it’s  like seriously like acid it’s like battery acid your urine should be between four point five and  six point O acid so we got the large intestine the stomach and the large and that urine should  be acid a lot of the other fluids to be Ocwen so this whole thing that everyone should be alkaline  is kind of like what tissue you talking about the purpose of having the right pH is that it allows  the body to then release or activate enzymes let me give an example if your stomach is not acid  enough it will not release the enzyme pep case the most powerful Pro T attic or protein enzyme  so you’re not going to digest protein so what’s going to happen with that you’re going to get  undigested protein allergies if the stomach is not asked enough you’re not going to be able to  kill off viruses and bacteria and microbes if the stomach is not acid you’re not going to absorb  minerals you’ll become anemic so there’s a lot of issues with just not activating enzymes also  you need these differences in pH is to move fluid through the body to have things move if your body  was just one pH things would just be stagnant they wouldn’t move that well so we need the diversity  so the next time someone says oh yeah you’re too acid you need alkalis you’re like ask them what  tissue are you talking about what fluid are you talking about on the blood and then it’s really  hard to test the blood pH so you can soon as you take it on the body it oxidizes with air and it  changes the pH so rarely does anyone ever test it so you got to go by symptoms basically but the pH  that does change probably the only pH that doesn’t change dramatically out of all these fluids is  the stomach pH as you age from twenty to thirty to forty to fifty to sixty seven years old look  at how far down your stomach pH goes down you lose the acid in your ph in your stomach becomes  more alkaline so the danger of that is that you’re going to lose the digestion so red meats  going to be hard to assimilate so you’re going to get kind of like gas and bloating if you have  too much you’re going to have gas is a perfect indication of low stomach acids floating as well  also you need the strong pH to act to release the enzymes from the pancreas and the gallbladder  it releases bile so you just don’t get those digestive secretions and then you end up with  more bloating if you combine to many different foods at once especially with sugar you’re going  to get some Suton and you don’t have enough acid your stomach gonna get some serious bloating  in your stomach so we need a really strong pH so the older you get the worse the pH is in  the stomach and then because the valve doesn’t close you get GERD and things like that but what  do people take when they have indigestion acid reflux or heartburn they take anti acids so  the older you get and the more you’re taking any acids what are you doing you’re taking that  last bit of acid that you had and you’re making a go bye-bye so the older you are the more acidic  you need to start you need to start putting things back in there like that’s why I recommend  outside of vinegar so it’s so important if you just took everyone over the age of 50 and  put them on opposite of vinegar you would see some amazing changes in digestion but but over  time your blood peach doesn’t go you don’t lose acid in your blood pH you don’t lose in this lab  or small intestine it’s mainly in the stomach so that’s the area that I would recommend focusing  on so being too acid unhealthy no not if you’re talking about the stomach if you don’t like  taping up a side of inner because of irritate your teeth whatever you can take it as a pill  form episode of vinegar plus I’m changing the name to digestion digest support but this is  good to take right before meal to help improve the completeness of your digestion specifically  with proteins and to help support a healthy pH in your stomach all right thanks for watching  hi guys hey listen I created a pretty amazing evaluation quiz down below that actually analyzes  your symptoms to find the cause the root cause of all of your symptoms the most likely cause so  take the quiz now and we’ll
