How to Eat to Live without Poisoning our Bodies Pus, Acid, and Mucus Forming Foods.
Acid Content in our food and bodies
Depending on the compounds they produce when metabolized, all foods — with the exception of pure water — are either acid-forming or alkaline-forming in the body. Consequently, each food you eat has a temporary and minuscule effect on your body’s pH balance. Alkaline-forming foods support your body’s natural homeostasis and contribute to critical alkali reserves. When over-consumed, acid-forming foods deplete alkali reserves and ultimately tilt your body pH away from its natural alkaline state toward acidity.
Cells and tissues require a slightly alkaline environment to function properly
The organic acid content of nearly all foods is high enough to give them acidic values on the pH scale, which runs from 0 to 14. Pure water has a value of 7, and is neutral. Foods with pH values below 7 are acidic, while those valued above 7 are basic, or alkaline. Acidic foods are divided into two categories: high-acid foods, or those with values lower than 4.6; and low-acid foods, or those with values between 4.6 and 6.9. potential Hydrogen-The “p” stands for potential and the “H” stands for Hydrogen. Alright, so that makes it as clear as mud. What is potential Hydrogen? A scientific explanation would state that pH refers to the plant's ability to attract hydrogen ions. A less scientific explanation says pH is the acid/alkaline balance pH and Metabolism
