Episode 20 Acid and Alkaline balance

What if the weight you can't lose isn't about calories or willpower? What if your body is actually holding onto fat to save your life? The answer lies in a simple but profound concept: the acid-alkaline balance. Once you understand it, everything changes.Structured Sections with HeadingsThe Chemistry of Life: Why Balance MattersWe all have an acid-alkaline balance in our body. Think of it as a scale from 0 to 14. Zero is completely acid, and 14 is completely alkaline. Your blood needs to be at around 7.36—slightly more alkaline than acid. This is the optimal state for health.When you eat food, some foods are acid-forming in the body, and some are alkaline-forming. If you're living a very acidic or toxic lifestyle because of the food you're eating, your body has to work overtime. It will deplete minerals from your bones and steal from other parts of your system just to keep that delicate balance.If the balance isn't kept, you become sick. Dr. Otto Warburg won a Nobel Prize for his work on this, and his conclusion was powerful: no disease, including cancer, can live in an alkaline environment. All disease and sickness lives in an acid environment.
