7 Steps to better health

The pH of the body refers to the amount of acid in the body. It is measured on a scale of 0 to 14, zero being highly acidic whilst 14 is highly alkaline. A pH of 7 is neutral, meaning it is neither acidic nor alkaline. The normal pH of the body is between 7.35 to 7.45. Anything less than that puts you at an increased risk of disease and poor health.

Most of the foods we consume daily contain so much acid which goes to accumulate in the body and predispose it to several diseases such as cancer, ulcer, candidiasis, typhoid, hypertension, diabetes, and so many more. A properly balanced body pH level will boost your immune system so it can fight diseases at an optimum level. Here are some amazing things you didn't know about your body.
