Energy Secret #3

If your body chemistry gets too “acidic,” you’ll tire easily, have more difficulty thinking, and even become pessimistic.

Did you know that in a natural, healthy state, every major organ in your body works around the clock to buffer acids and keep your system slightly alkaline? In fact, virtually all of your cells and tissues contain significant amounts of buffering alkaline substances, such as minerals, oxygen and bicarbonate.

But over time, your body’s ability to buffer acids weakens. And if your cells and tissues are even slightly more acidic than alkaline, you tire easily and are often fatigued. Over-acidity causes your muscles to be fatigued and restricts your physical energy and stamina.

Too much acid draining you of energy?

When I test my patients for acid/alkaline balance, I find many of them are too acidic—and thus, too tired. Why?

There are three main reasons: Diet, lifestyle and premature aging.

Let me explain. The standard American diet is highly acidic, with many foods such as red meat, vinegar, citrus fruits, alcohol, dairy products, refined sugar, soft drinks, and coffee containing large amounts of acidic materials such as sulfur and phosphorus.

To prove this point, the Economic Research Service of the USDA found that the average American eats nearly six times more acidic foods than alkaline foods per year.

Lifestyle can also cause your body to be too acidic. For example, if you’re under physical or mental stress (how many of us aren’t these days!), you use more nutrients and generate more acidic waste products than your body can process and dispose of rapidly.

Frequent airline travel (because of stale, recirculated air), vigorous exercise (which consumes oxygen and creates lactic acid), and over-the-counter medications (which are acidifying) also make your body more acidic—and more tired.

The aging process doesn’t help, either

In addition, as we reach our 40s and 50s and beyond, most of us experience a decline in our ability to balance our acid/alkaline ratio.

For example, oxygen is essential to keeping your body alkaline. Yet your lungs’ ability to take in oxygen declines one percent per year on average. It peaks for women at age 20, but by age 70, your oxygen intake is reduced by half.

What’s more, after midlife, the ability of your pancreas to secrete alkalizing biocarbonate starts to decline.

I know it’s tough to keep diet and lifestyle on balance. Because of your busy schedules, you may have to eat on the run like I sometimes do. When the kids are gone, it’s harder to cook for just one or two. Coffee bars entice us with creamy caffeine-laced lattés and mochas. Stress causes cortisone levels to soar, making our hormones quickly get out of balance.

But the good news is…
