| We are all born with a very high alkaline blood pH of | | | | Another good example of benefits of alkaline blood is |
| 7.4. Over the years as we age this pH level gets more | | | | arthritis and gout prevention as well as cure. Uric acid |
| acidic. An acidic environment is like a magnet for all | | | | is not easily dissolvable. Water, alcohol as well as ether |
| diseases. It also speeds up the aging process. So if the | | | | all fail to dissolve uric acid, but it easily dissolves in |
| aging process is to be slowed down and lost years | | | | alkaline salts and alkaline water. Thus alkaline blood |
| regained then one must work towards an increased | | | | helps rid the body of uric acid which is the root cause |
| pH. | | | | of arthritis and gout. These ailments are caused by uric |
| Alkaline blood can be achieved only by consuming | | | | acid deposits between the joints of the body. The |
| alkaline food and drinking alkaline water. What we eat | | | | older we get the more likely we are to suffer from |
| is who we are. So if one eats vegetables like broccoli, | | | | arthritis and similar diseases. This is because the older |
| asparagus, cabbages, lettuce and so on we will be | | | | we gets the more our alkaline blood drops its alkalinity |
| making our alkaline blood better. On the other hand | | | | thus resulting in uric acid deposits in the body. |
| consuming acidic foods leaves our blood acidic. All the | | | | When our body gets sluggish and weak we refer to it |
| toxins from within our body are expelled out of the | | | | as the aging process. But this aging is caused by |
| urine or by sweating. So if these toxins do not get a | | | | deposits of acids at various points in the body. If we |

| ageing. Ever wondered why younger people are more | | | | shall be able to slow down the aging process. This is |
| energetic that older ones. Well! The answer is simple. | | | | called anti aging. Only alkaline blood will be able to flush |
| Younger people carry more hydroxyl ions than | | | | all the toxins and wastes out of the body. Therefore |
| hydrogen ions. The former gives oxygen while the | | | | an alkaline blood pH of at least 7.4 must be maintained. |
| later is an oxygen taker. More oxygen means added | | | | To maintain a high alkaline blood pH at least 80% of |
| energy. There is thus a great need to eat alkaline | | | | our total food intake must comprise of alkaline foods |
| foods so as to release more oxygen and thus derive | | | | and no more than a maximum of 20 % acidic foods |
| more energy from it. Keeping a high blood pH simply | | | | To sum up it would be best to say that alkaline blood |
| keeps the oxygen levels high in our arteries and so | | | | is in direct indirect proportion to aging. The more the |
| prevents the cells from degeneration and therefore | | | | alkalinity of blood the less we will age. |
