"Everything you eat becomes a part of not only your inner being, but the outer fabric of your body as well. The healthier the foods are that you consume, the better your health will be," says Samantha Heller, MS, RD, a clinical nutritionist at NYU Medical Center in New York City.
The reverse is true as well, Heller tells. The less attention we pay to what goes into our mouth, the more problems we may see cropping up with our health.
The KEY?: Your Health depends on the pH Balance of your blood.
Confused? Let's go back to basics of Body Chemistry.
Body Chemistry
The pH of healthy blood is 7.35-7.45. This means that it is slightly alkaline. This alkalinity has to be kept almost constant; even minor variations are dangerous. If the hydrogen ion concentration in the blood rises to pH 6.95, coma and death result as the heart relaxes and ceases to beat.
The major affect from an overly acidic body chemistry is depression of the central nervous system. In extreme cases when the pH of the blood falls below 7.0, the nervous system becomes so depressed that the person first becomes disoriented and finally comatose.
So what should I eat?
As much Alkaline Foods vs. Acidic Foods. As possible!
