Alkaline Minerals Help Neutralize Excess Acids
The greatest problem for people suffering from acidification is the fact that the concentrated mass of acids have accumulated in the deep inner tissues. The quantities of acids that have built up are too great to be carried by the blood. The body is then forced to use a second option to protect the integrity of the blood pH. This consists of directing the acids not to the organs of elimination to be discharged, but into the tissues, which can withstand fluctuations of pH levels better than the blood.
De-acidification of the body requires the neutralization and elimination of a very large quantity of acids. When available, the body will use mineral reserves in order to neutralize these acids. When alkaline minerals bind with acids, a neutral salt is made, which can then enter the bloodstream for elimination without affecting the pH of the blood.
Mineral rich supplements are designed to accelerate the neutralization of acids that are often deeply embedded in the tissues of the body. To neutralize each acid that you want removed from the body; you need a corresponding alkaline substance...an Alkaline Mineral. Taking these alkaline minerals on a regular basis supports the body's efforts and greatly accelerates the process of de-acidification, and restoration to pH Balance.
The five minerals that pHion alkaline minerals include are calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese and iron.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, and about 99% of the body's calcium is found in our bones. Besides being an alkalizing element in the body, it helps build and maintain healthy bones and teeth. Calcium is also important in many enzymatic reactions in the body, is necessary for the contraction of muscles, the release of neurotransmitters, regulation of heart beat, and the clotting of blood. Calcium deficiency may ultimately lead to acidification as well as osteoporosis, which thins and weakens bones making them frail to the point where they break easily.
Magnesium is well known for its calming effect on our nervous system, as well as its stimulating effect on the immune system. It is vital in assisting in calcium and potassium uptake. A deficiency interferes with the transmission of nerve and muscle impulses, causing irritability and nervousness. Magnesium is also a crucial element in maintaining proper pH balance.
Potassium is critical in maintaining proper electrolyte and acid - alkaline balance. Potassium plays a fundamental role in cellular exchanges. Potassium deficiency may lead to poor energy, lack of strength as well as cramping. A diet that contains sufficient amounts may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke, as well as soothe feelings of anxiety, irritability and stress.
Manganese acts as a catalyst in numerous biochemical reactions. Manganese is an antioxidant nutrient that is important in the breakdown of amino acids and the production of energy. It is also a catalyst in the breakdown of fats and cholesterol. It helps nourish the nerves and brain, is necessary for normal skeletal development, and helps to maintain proper hormone production and to regulate blood sugar levels.
Iron, is necessary to carry oxygen in the blood, which is of crucial importance for people who have trouble metabolizing acids, since they cannot oxidize volatile acids properly.
Phosphorous As blood is filtered through the kidneys, this element is used to buffer acids creating phosphoric acid, which is then excreted via the urine. By this buffering method, the kidneys reduce the degree of acidity in the body fluids. Phosphorus is also involved in the building of bones and teeth. Like calcium, it is found in all cells and is involved in some way in most biochemical reactions. Phosphorus is vital to energy production and exchange in a variety of ways. Phosphorus is also important to the utilization of carbohydrates and fats for energy production and also in protein synthesis for the growth, maintenance, and repair of all tissues and cells.
