Do you wish to reverse OSTEOPOROSIS? Yes I am talking about that dreaded problem which makes a person immobile. Whether you move or stay in bed, pricking pain keeps you crying.
Do you wish to know the basic reason for this problem? Well it is pH value of your body.
Ph value of the body as 7 is considered to be safe. It gets better if it increases above 7 since it shows that the body is getting Alkaline but anything less than 7 is harmful for the body since it indicates that the body is getting Acidic.
People eat plenty of acid-yielding animal protein, dairy products, and grains. Alkaline yielding Fruits and vegetables are consumed in lesser proportions. We rarely stick to five recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables.
.After digestion, all foods report to the kidneys as being either acidic or alkaline. The kidneys are responsible for fluid balance and maintaining a relatively neutral pH in the body.
When acid-yielding foods lower the body’s pH, the kidneys coordinate efforts to buffer that acidity. Bones release calcium and magnesium to reestablish alkalinity, and muscles are broken down to produce ammonia, which is strongly alkaline. By the time the response is all over, your bone minerals and broken down muscle get excreted in urine.
Susan Brown, Ph.D., who heads the nonprofit Osteoporosis Education Project in East Syracuse, N.Y., described a client named Janet whose doctor diagnosed her at age 52 with osteopenia, a demineralizing of bone that often foreshadows osteoporosis. At 55, Janet began following Brown’s recommendations for eating more fruits and vegetables, taking supplements, and exercising. Three years later, Janet was clearly building bone mass in her spine and hip, even while going through menopause.
Long term, excess acidity leads to thinner bones and lower muscle mass, points out Anthony Sebastian, M.D., of the University of California, San Francisco. These problems are compounded by normal aging, which increases acidosis, bone loss, and muscle wasting. Along the way, calcium and magnesium losses can equate to deficiencies, with many ramifications. Both minerals play essential roles in bone formation and normal heart rhythm. Low magnesium levels can cause muscle cramps, arrhythmias, and anxiety.
