Can’t Lose Weight? Could Be Metabolic Acidosis

Can’t seem to lose weight? You’re not alone. Statistics show that 1 in 3 adults in the United States are obese. Even worse, 2 out of 3 are overweight. That means that only 1 in 3 adults is at his or her ideal weight. Don’t you find that alarming? I know I do. So , what is it that is causing these incredibly devastating numbers? Well, it could be metabolic acidosis.

What IS metabolic acidosis? Well, simply put, there are certain things in our bodies that need to remain within certain parameters in order for everything to function correctly. Our temperature needs to be at 98. 6 degrees to be considered normal, for instance. If your blood pressure exceeds 140/90 you are considered to be at risk. And we all know that having a blood sugar count that is higher than 150 mg or lower than 70 mg can cause havoc in our systems and our health.

Well, there is yet another number to keep track of, and that is the pH in our blood. Our blood, and other tissues in our body, were created to be neutral (we ARE 70% water, after all), but our diets, the stress created by the environment and the effect of pollution, all contribute to acidify our system. Ideally, all of us should maintain a body pH of 7. 365 in a scale of 0-14 where 14 is fully alkaline and 0 is burning, stinging, pry a whole through steel acidic.

Foods like milk, bread, meat, coffee, soda, eggs, cheese, mushroom, mustard, honey, rice, vinegar, alcohol and sweetened fruit juices all have an acidic effect on the body (and this is just the beginning of the list). Alkalizing foods are green vegetables, onion, garlic, tomato, and most other vegetables. Fruits are tricky. While most are either alkaline or only mildly acidic, sugary fruits like bananas, apples, berries, mangoes, and prunes are considered acidic.

I know what you’re thinking. What on earth does any of that have to do with losing weight. Well, since the early 1930s, medical researchers have been looking at the relationship between body acidity and disease. These studies have intensified in the past few decades connecting metabolic acidosis directly to things such as cardiovascular damage, increase in cholesterol, osteoporosis, premature aging and, oh yes, obesity!

See, when the body becomes acidic, it turns to its alkaline reserves in order to reestablish the necessary balance. When those reserves become depleted, the body then is forced to borrow minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium from vital organs and bones in order to neutralize the dangerous levels of acid. This immediately reduces the organs ability to carry on their normal functions, and can suffer severe damage. Once this process begins, the body looks to hoard any potentially protective substances that might aid in removing, or at least safeguarding, tissues, arteries, and major organs from the effects of acid. Thus, fat and cholesterol begin to get stored as protective layers against acidic corrosion.

What’s the solution, then? In very simplistic terms, if you can’t seem to lose weight, then you need to stop metabolic acidosis in its tracks and alkalize your system. There are several ways to accomplish this. You can completely change your diet to one consisting only of raw green vegetables, green drinks and certain fruits. You can also purchase a very expensive water alkalizer, which can alkalize you water and help reduce some of the acidity over time. Or, you can consume alkalizing supplements to balance the pH in the body and allow it to function at optimal levels.
