All of us want success in our lives. We should not neglect our health in order to spend the time with success building activities. In a recent book called Powerful People Lead Healthy Lives the author talks about a shift of power, “the emergence of safe, powerful tools for prevention of sickness and maintenance of good health.  

There are 2 approaches to health:   the NATURAL approach which is solution focused.  You build health by looking at the whole body.  The second is the MEDICAL approach or problem.  ” Tell me your problem and I will tell you what medication to take.   If you have side effects, there will be more drugs for that.   The amount of medication a person takes rises steeply with age.   A study has shown that 75% of seniors take 4 to 5 meds per day while those over 79 take 7 to 9 meds per day.

Lets Talk About PH

Our bodies thrive by maintaining homeostasis which is a constant internal environment.  This involves keeping PH body fluids, blood pressure, body temperature, CO2 and O2 levels etc. all within a narrow range.

Although the mouth, stomach, and bladder must be on the acidic side, the blood and body fluids should be at 7.4 (that is slightly alkaline), for homeostasis.  I have been told that if the blood PH falls to 6.95, coma and death result.

Situations That Cause an Acidic PH

• Poor Diet

• Polluted environment

• Physical exertion and movement (cause the PH to drop to 7.26/27)

• Smoking and drinking alcohol

• Poor digestion

• Negative thoughts

• Spiritual distress

• Destructive emotions
