Nearly 25 million Americans suffer with osteoporosis and the related complications of thin, porous bones prone to fracture.
Everyone believes that strong bones are merely the result of how much calcium you can pour down. In reality, there are numerous factors such as the type of calcium, other vitamins and minerals, physical activity and your own internal chemistry that will undermine your efforts regardless of your calcium intake. Many researchers believe that your chemistry, specifically your pH, may be one of the most important factors. pH in your body is the same as in your swimming pool – it’s the balance of acid and base. By design, we are meant to be slightly basic or “alkaline” and many believe that all disease exists only in an acidic environment.
In terms of strong bones, as we become more acidic (pH less than 7.3) the activity of the cells that break down bone (osteoclasts) is increased and the activity of the cells that build bone (osteoblasts) is decreased. This means in an acidic environment, you will continuously be losing bone strength. However, the opposite phenomenon seems to happen in an alkaline environment and you gain bone strength. The question then should be how do we stay alkaline, and what would make our bodies acidic?
The key to staying alkaline is the same as the key to reducing inflammation in the body. You must eat a diet high in alkaline foods such as fruits and vegetables. The primary things that increase acidity in our bodies are diets high in protein and excessive amounts of emotional stress.
Remember if you are encountering a huge amount of emotional stress to test your PH often. It is one of the individual test that makes up your Master Score Sheet. Then, if needed change your diet using the PH form in the Nutritional section on PH. Then, if still having trouble getting alkaline use some green products from our online store:

order Juice Plus . Great for Kids to keep alkaline. I love the gummies myself when needed. Test your PH: Nearly 25 million Americans suffer with osteoporosis and the related complications of thin, porous bones prone to fracture
