In the book, The pH Miracle, Dr. Robert Young explains how our modern lives are suffering from imbalance caused by our dietary choices. He also explains how we can easily restore our health, getting the best nutrients and eating a balance diet, by finding the right combination of foods. If you would like to benefit from his exhaustive research, as well as from the works of early pioneers in the field, I highly recommend reading the book.
New Biology

The pH balance in your body plays a very important role in your health. pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline something is, and an optimal acid-alkaline balance is necessary for the body to maintain a state of good health and avoid lifestyle diseases.

The tissues in our body have an optimal pH range that must be maintained for the immune system to function optimally, e.g., the blood at the slightly alkaline pH of 7.365. Eating acidic, toxic, low-quality processed food and leading a lifestyle full of stress and negative thinking make the body create more acid than it can eliminate, and this then affects our digestive system and body metabolism.

So, in order to maintain the optimal pH of the blood, our bodies use alkaline minerals from our tissues. Once the alkalinity reserves in your tissues are exhausted, serious problems start.

The body will begin to leach calcium directly from bones and magnesium from muscles. And the excess acid in the body will be dumped back into the tissues for storage as the lymphatic (immune) system is overloaded. The body will retain fat to protect the excess acids from affecting the organs that sustain life. It is one of the main reasons for weight-related problems.

This circle of imbalance will eventually lead to an oxygen-deficient environment in which bacteria, fungi, and yeast thrive.

The body's inability to remove its own waste leads to acidosis, the over-acidification of the blood and tissues.

Initial symptoms include low energy, allergies, premature aging, joint problems, inflammation, digestive issues, bowels irritation, reflux, weight gain, sleep problems, etc. These symptoms can later lead to chronic diseases like diabetes, inflammation, heart disease, osteoarthritis, cancer, and more.
