Too much diary, grains, nuts, seeds, eggs
and meats are not the only causes of excessive acidity. Physical
and mental stresses also produce acid residues which must be
balanced to sustain good health. This article is about
compensating for the effects of stress.
Physical Stress
Physical stress is not only generally
unavoidable; it is beneficial for healthy persons to
exercise all of the muscles in their bodies on a regular basis.
As beneficial as exercise is, it results in the production of
pyruvic, lactic and carbonic acids which must then be
neutralized. Acid is neutralized with alkaline reserves in the
body, if any are available. Once the alkaline reserves are
depleted the body must draw from functional sources, such as
bones, in order to maintain the narrow pH level that is required
to sustain life. The body magnificently does whatever it can in
order to continue living as long as possible under all the
adversities we impose upon it. This includes robbing calcium
from needed but non-critical parts like bones, joints, muscles,
etc. in the hope that the being will soon find a source of
alkalinizing minerals to restock the reserves and rebuild the
parts which have been borrowed from.
Primary alkaline repletion sources are
fruits and vegetables (except seeds, nuts and grains). Eating
acid foods adds additional stress to the system, requiring
neutralization of its own and therefore further depletes the
alkaline reserves. This explains why so many athletes suddenly
have fatal heart attacks in the middle of physical exertion –
they exhausted their reserves, leaving the body defenseless
against acidosis. For those who are acidic but do not exert to
their limits, the ultimate result will be the same, but may come
more slowly and painfully through other debilitating
consequences.
Recommendations:
Eat a diet which will provide abundant
alkaline reserves. If you have not already done so, download a
copy of the acid/alkaline ash foods chart from
HERE. Until you build up your alkaline
reserves, limit your exercise to very low impact!
Mental Stress
Unlike physical stress, mental stress is
seldom beneficial, and is to be avoided whenever possible.
Studies have shown that anger, fear, resentment, jealousy and
other “negative” emotions produce acidity of body fluids,
whereas love, laughter, joy, etc. produce alkaline conditions
throughout the body. Adding additional acidity from negative
emotions to the combined results of acid foods and physical
stress can put a body at critical mass, triggering any of the
inevitable consequences of acidosis.
Recommendations:
Most mental stress is unnecessary and is
avoidable for those who know some basic mental strategies. There
are many wonderful books and audio programs to teach these
strategies from authors like Gary Zukav (“Seat of the Soul”,
“The Heart of the Soul”, etc.); Dr. Wayne Dyer (“10
Secrets for Success and Inner Peace”, “There Is a Spiritual
Solution To Every Problem”, etc.); Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
(“The Power of Positive Thinking”, etc.); Shakti Gawain (“Creative
Visualization”, etc.); Earl Nightingale (“The Strangest
Secret”, etc.); Anthony Robbins (“Unlimited Power”,
etc.) and on and on … One quick tip about mental stress:
forgiveness has nothing to do with the forgiven – it has
everything to do with the forgiver. Dumping your excess
baggage leaves you "lighter" and more alkaline .

Recommendations:
If you are familiar with the concept of
'100% accountability', take that awareness to the next level
by reading the following articles about Haleakala
Hew Len, Ph.D. and Ho'oponopono:
Alkalinity – the Master-key
to Health
Although this article concludes the
specific subject of acid/alkaline balance, it is the
master-key to being healthy. You will see it mentioned or
inferred in many future articles. Build up your alkaline
reserves and you will be amazed at how much better you feel and
how much extra energy you have. Learn all you can learn and do
all you can do to build a huge alkaline reserve. It is like
depositing pure platinum into your health bank account!
