hey guys I’m back in we’re going to talk about pH this question keeps coming up over and over and over and I just wanted to do one video on this very specific point okay is having an alkaline pH healthier or not okay so let’s talk about this the first thing you to know is that your body has many different fluids okay and each of those different fluids have a different pH your whole body is not one pH your entire body should not be alkaline for example or acid for example the stomach is very acid the large intestine is very acid and the urine is acid now one of the reasons why the body has different PHS is to activate enzymes for example the stomach being very very acidic between one and three will activate this enzyme called pepsin which is a very powerful protein enzyme that breaks down proteins now in the large intestine you have acid to help prevent the overgrowth of certain unfriendly microbes okay like lactic acid is produced to help kill off certain microbes and the urine is acid to also prevent microbes from growing as well now if we alkalis the fluids in these areas of the body we’re gonna create a lot of problems now the idea that the body should be alkaline really stems from the blood okay so if we reword this question is having an alkaline blood pH healthier that would be yes because the blood has a very narrow tight pH between 7. 35 and 7. 45 if we look at the pH 7 being neutral anything lower is acid anything higher is alkaline and when we go from a 7 to an 8 it’s not just by one it’s by a power of 10 so 8 is 10 times more alkaline than 7 now the other confusion that I see all the time is thinking you need to eat only a certain food that’s in a certain pH to correct your pH that’s not true for example yes you have vegetables are out but you also have essential fatty acids like in omega-3 fatty acids that people consume and that’s in a lot of different foods those are acids and then you have amino acids those are proteins acid sugar is also acid by the way now to make sure you maintain the very specific pH is that the body needs in certain body fluids you just need to eat healthy you don’t need to necessarily eat more of a certain acidic food or alkaline food you just need to eat healthy that’s what will put your ph in that range because I see so many problems when people start consuming like baking soda or using the machine to make alkaline water and they start diluting these acids right here and then you’re going to inhibit certain enzymes for digestion you’re going to inhibit the protective mechanism against microbes and start growing unfriendly microbes in helping feeding mold or Candida or a fungus so that is a huge problem all right so I hope that cleared up some confusions so the next time if someone says that you need to alkalize the body ask them what specific part of the body are you talking about hey I appreciate your attention and if you’re enjoying these videos go ahead and subscribe and I will definitely keep you updated on future events live events and webinars that we’re going to do very soon
