| When
food is metabolized and broken down in the body, it leaves certain residues
which yield either alkaline or acidic potentials of pH. These residues
appear to most strongly influence body pH levels and can lead to serious
health problems, weight gain, poor athletic performance, low energy levels
and premature aging if continuously too acidic or too alkaline. Our
body is in a constant struggle to maintain proper pH levels - too acidic
means the body has to work extra hard to expel excess acidic ash waste or
allow it to pile up; too alkaline often means the body is struggling with
low electrolyte levels that weaken muscle and nerve functions. A consistent
pH imbalance - either too acidic or too alkaline - interferes with the
body's basic operations...
Buffer-pH+ is an
Advanced Cardiovascular and Systemic (body-wide) Nutraceutical Dietary
Supplement which works to safely and effectively balance an overly acid or
overly alkaline system by buffering overly acid and alkaline residues and
removing them from your body, as well as helping to dissolve toxic laden
plaque. This allows tissues to be cleansed, and then healed naturally and
more quickly, by the body.
The bulk of the
American diet consists of foods that leave an acidic residue within the
body. This occurs when food is metabolized and broken down, leaving certain
chemical and metallic residues which yield either acid or alkaline
potentials of pH for the body. It is these residues from our daily dietary
choices that appear to most strongly influence body pH levels. When the diet
is imbalanced with an excess of these acid or alkaline residues, which most
western-world diets are, body pH is directly and immediately impacted,
causing body fluids to lie constantly within the acidic range. And, just
like acid rain upon a forest, an imbalanced pH can slowly but steadily
corrode your body and lead to numerous health problems.
What Is "pH"?
The body is largely made up of water, a medium which is biologically useful
in allowing nutrients, oxygen and biochemicals to be transported from place
to place. This water-based medium can have either acid or alkaline
properties which are measured by a graduated scale called pH (for "potential
hydrogen"), wherein 1.0 to 6.9 is considered acidic, 7.0 is neutral, and 7.1
to 14.0 is alkaline. The lower the pH number, the greater the acidity, and
the higher the pH number, the greater the alkalinity.
Why Should I Be
Concerned About My pH Levels?
Since most of the body is water-based (making up 50-60% of our total body
weight), the pH level has
profound effects on all body chemistry, health and disease. An imbalanced pH
describes the pH level of the body when it becomes too acidic or too
alkaline for long periods of time. Extended pH imbalances of any kind are
not well tolerated by the body. Indeed, the management of "pH" is so
important that the body has developed strict accounting procedures to
monitor acid-alkaline balances in every cell. Fundamentally, all regulatory
mechanisms (including breathing, circulation, digestion, hormonal
production, etc.) serve the purpose of balancing pH, by removing caustic
metabolized acid residues from body tissues without damaging living cells.
If the pH deviates too far to the acid side or too far to the alkaline side,
cells become poisoned by their own toxic waste and die.
Is An Imbalanced
Body pH Really That Dangerous?
Yes, indeed it is! Nothing does well in an overly acidic or alkaline pH
medium, least of all the human body! Just as acid rain can destroy a forest
and alkaline wastes can pollute a lake, an imbalanced pH continuously
corrodes all body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of our veins
and arteries like corrosives eating into marble. If left unchecked, an
imbalanced pH will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from the
beating of your heart to the neural firing of your brain... An imbalanced pH
interferes with all life itself!
Can An Imbalanced
pH Cause Serious Problems?
Yes, especially as a person grows older! Although it may generally go
unnoticed and undetected for years, an imbalanced pH (either consistently
too acid or alkaline) leads to the progression of most, if not all,
degenerative diseases including Cardiovascular Disease (the #1 killer in the
U.S.), Cancer (the #2 Killer in the U.S.), and Diabetes, as well as the
never ending frustration of excessive systemic weight gain. The U.S.
National Center for Health Statistics estimates that if Cardiovascular
Disease alone could be eliminated, it would add an average of 9.78 years to
our life span! That's almost 10 years of additional life per person!
What Causes pH to
Become Imbalanced?
Most diets cause an unhealthy Acid pH. In fact, diet appears to be the major
influence in maintaining appropriate pH levels throughout the body. Research
demonstrates that when food is metabolized and broken down, it leaves
certain chemical and metallic residues, a noncombustible "ash" which, when
combined with our body fluids, yields either acid or alkali potentials of
pH. Certain foods are "acid-forming" in nature, whereas others are known to
be "alkali-forming."
Which Foods Are
"Acid-Forming" And Which Ones Are "Alkaline-Forming"?
Most high protein foods (such as meat, fish, poultry and eggs), nearly all
carbohydrates (including grains, breads and pastas) and fats are
"acid-forming." And most fruits and vegetables are "alkaline-forming."
Although citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruit, contain organic
acids and may have an acid taste, they are not acid-forming when
metabolized, leaving no acidic residue. Similarly, Free Form Amino Acids are
not acid-forming, but instead offer unique buffering capabilities to the
body to help offset acidic wastes.
How Can I Find Out
My Body pH?
By testing your pH with Medical pH-Test Strips, you can determine quickly
and easily, in the privacy of your own home, what your pH is. Växa Medical
pH-Test Strips determine your urinary pH, which is generally a good
indicator of how acid or alkaline your total body pH is. When urinary pH is
continuously between 6.5 in the A.M. and 7.5 by evening, you're functioning
in a healthy range; When continuously above this range you're too alkaline,
and when continuously below it, you're too acid.
How Do I Rebalance
My pH?
Watching your diet can help. If you're too acid, increase the number of
fruits and vegetables you eat. If you're too alkaline, increase the amounts
of acid-forming foods consumed. But an easier way is to take Växa's
Buffer-pH+ daily to help balance your system while continuing to enjoy the
foods you prefer!
How Does Buffer-pH+
Work?
Buffer-pH+ is an Advanced Cardiovascular and Systemic (body-wide)
Nutraceutical Dietary Supplement which works to safely and effectively
balance an overly acid or overly alkaline system by buffering overly acid
and alkaline residues and removing them from your body, as well as helping
