Benefits of Alkaline Body

A person’s body is the greatest creation of the Almighty and the most complicated creation at that.  It is composed of different organs created to do different job but are required to work together as one.  The energy that the body needs comes from food we eat on a daily basis; these foods are digested and burned to release energy to be used for all the various bodily functions.  The human blood is normally at 7.3 pH range which is more on the alkaline side of the pH scale.  In order to keep a healthy and well functioning body, we need to consume 80% alkaline food and 20% acidic foods.

There are so many benefits of alkaline body such as the ability to combat disease due to superior immune system, strong bones and muscles that supports everyday activity, efficient digestive system that helps support proper food absorption of the body.  Alkaline food should be consumed in abundance; these foods are mostly green raw leafy vegetables, fresh and organic fruits, nuts and legumes.  A diet that follows the 80-20 alkaline to acid ratio is very beneficial to the proper function of the body’s vital organs most especially the brain.  The brain is the most powerful and dominant organ of the human body; the brain monitors and regulates the body’s actions and reactions. It receives sensory information then it rapidly analyzes the data and responds by controlling bodily reactions to this stimulus. The brainstem controls breathing, heart rate, and other autonomic processes that are independent of conscious brain functions. The neocortex is the center of higher-order thinking, learning, and memory while the cerebellum is responsible for the body’s balance, posture, and coordinated movement. Brain metabolism is dependent upon blood glucose as an energy source, since fatty acids do not cross the blood-brain barrier.  A healthy brain promotes a healthy body, mind and soul; to achieve this we must feed our body food that will promote alkalinity, exercise regularly and drink six to eight glasses of alkaline water every day.
