Let’s make our bodies less ‘acidic’!

The media are full of ads on how to „purify and detoxify“ your body or remove excess acids from it. Is it even possible for our bodies to have too many acids or bases in them?
Yes, but if that ever happens then you’re dead.

The electrolytic balance and the related pH value of your body is very closely monitored and regulated by your lungs and kidneys. A normal pH value ranges between 7.35-7.42.

The pH value can neither get too low nor too high in a living organism, because the proteins in the blood would fail – they lose their 3-dimensional form and start to form clumps (coagulate) and become useless. Much the same thing can be observed when you cook chicken soup and a brown scum starts to form on the top – these are coagulated proteins.

So rest assured, if you are at all capable of reading this article than you and your body are not overly ‘acidic’, although you may feel irritated for other reasons!
