What does an alkaline or acidic PH body system have to do with parasites?  Your eating habits can lead to very unhealthy gut flora and become a breeding ground for bacteria, amoebas, microscopic worms, and viruses; not a good environment for anti-aging.

The PH matters because if parasites are allowed to run rampant throughout your body, your immune system will become depressed and prevent its natural healing.

Your body has a natural PH at the intracellular level of around 7.4.  At this level and between 7.2 and 7.4, parasites cannot live; therefore, you can see why a slightly alkaline environment is so beneficial.

Refined sugars and starches make up a large part of the Western diet, creating candida.  Candida is a natural yeast and is usually kept in control by friendly intestinal flora.  However, if you consume too many sugars or starches, this candida overtakes the friendly bacteria in the intestines leaving a hospitable environment for the growth of parasites.

Antibiotic overuse is another problem and can kill off friendly gut bacteria causing the overgrowth of candida.  Symptoms include sugar cravings, chronic yeast infections, fatigue, dry skin, acne and sinus infections.

Parasites destroy cells faster than they can be regenerated and produce substances as a byproduct of their digestion.  These toxic substances can cause you to develop food allergies, irritation of the intestinal linings and skin problems.

PH strips for checking saliva and urine can be purchased in pharmacies and in most health food stores.  Usually the best time to take your PH is first thing in the morning.

By turning to a mostly alkaline diet of vegetables and a few fruits, you’ll be rewarded with more energy and  reverse the acidification process, making your body an inhospitable place for parasites.  There’s no place for parasites in your anti-aging program, so ditch the sugar and load up on veggies to raise your PH to alkaline.

Have some fun today,
