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

definitely keep you updated on future

we’re going to do very soon
