The human body must maintain a fairly constant blood pH value to survive. When the pH value increases or decreases, we feel sick. In extreme cases, we die.
There are many things the body does to maintain the blood pH value. One is to remove carbon dioxides from the blood as they pass through the lungs. (The removal of CO2 from carbonic acid H2CO3 reduces the carbonic acid into water H2O.)
Another process is neutralizing acid minerals by utilizing the alkaline minerals that enter the body. This process takes longer than the first, since it takes time to extract the alkaline minerals from foods.
A third process, the extraction of calcium from the bones, neutralizes any extra poisonous acid minerals in the body, but is costly on the body; Osteoporosis is often a result of this process.
When all the above processes are not enough, the body uses an even more costly process, converting liquid acids into solid acids to reduce the acids. When this happens, solids like triglyceride, cholesterol, fatty acid, uric acid, kidney stones, plaques and lipids are formed. Although these solid build-ups can take a long time to develop, they can also cause greater long-term damage.
The fundamental solution to these issues is to increase the alkalinity of the blood by increasing the bicarbonates in the blood. Doing so reduces the acid solids without the use of pharmaceutical medicine.
