This is for people who are exercising but need more energy We hope this continues to help you and if you need any questions answered please call Your Body s Natural PH Balance Your body had a natural acid/alkaline balance. Medications, sugars, poor diet and stress can all make the body more acidic. When the body is acidic, yeast, bacteria, viruses and cancer can thrive. And conversely, when the body is alkaline, foreign bacteria, viruses, yeast and cancer can not live. Our body has a natural balance called homeostasis. When we are too acidic, minerals like calcium are leached from our bones to help alkalize the body. Another way our body tries to protect us from acid is to buffer it with fat and store it in the body. Luckily, there are ways to naturally boost your PH, which should stay at Eating more green vegetables and less sugars, meat and dairy. Good luck! Caroline Ultimate Health Clinics Ireland
