If we consume low PH foods/drinks/water our body will leach the alkaline minerals, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and manganese to maintain the PH. As the skeletal system of our body is a “Calcium bank”, as mentioned in Reverse Aging by Sang Whang, the body robs the bank to raise our PH to keep us alive. Research suggests over years this mineral loss can cause many age related health problems.

If our diet consists of mostly meat, bread, fried foods, coffee, sweets and carbonated beverages which all have a PH below 5 or 6, (Carbonated beverages are around a PH of 2) this will lower our Salvia and Urine PH to under 6 or even under 5. This can make us a breeding ground for detrimental conditions such as: Heart Disease, Arteriosclerosis, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Arthritis, Gout, Kidney Disease, Chronic Diarrhea and Constipation, Hemorrhoids, Asthma, Hay Fever, Allergies, Headaches, Psoriasis, Eczema, Gas, Osteoporosis, etc.

Besides these obvious conditions it has come to the attention to many researchers that an overly Acidic (low PH) environment opens us up to the possibility of Cancer along with many other non-communicable diseases. As Sang Whang writes: “The growth of Cancer cells is a fermentation process which can be initiated only in the relative absence of oxygen”, or in other words an acid environment.
