pH Balance and Heart Disease: Improper pH Balance Increases Risk and Damage of Heart Disease

If you're at risk for heart disease, you've been told that eating healthy is important to lower your risk. What does eating healthy really mean? Does it just mean lowering your intake of bad cholesterol?

What if you discovered that even after cholesterol is removed from your bloodstream, your arteries still become encrusted with plaque? What if food that’s low in cholesterol still clogs your arteries? What if improper digestion can put you at greater risk for cardiovascular disease?

Even if you're not at risk yet, you could be. The accumulation of acid in the body, through improper digestion, leads to all types of degenerative disease, including heart disease. Only by eliminating acid waste, restoring your body’s pH balance and preventing
further accumulation of acid will you be able to lower your risk.

THE RISK

When you consume food that’s high in acid or heavily processed, or food that causes an allergic response in your digestive system, the food will not be absorbed properly into your body as nutrients. Instead, some of the food will be absorbed into your bloodstream as acid waste. The remainder of undigested food will linger in your intestines and putrefy, causing further release of acid into your bloodstream. The result is a degeneration of all your body’s systems, including the heart system.

Improper digestion also creates the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive. When the bacteria move into the heart system, the arterial walls become inflamed. No amount of treatment will help, unless the root cause excessive accumulation of acid is removed.

THE DAMAGE

When acid lingers in the bloodstream, it attaches to the artery walls and reduces blood flow just as easily as bad cholesterol does. Vital nutrients and oxygen do not reach the body’s cells as easily, and all major organs including the heart become vulnerable to degenerative disease. If the acid plaque breaks off and clogs the bloodstream, it can cause a heart attack.

Bacteria that move into the heart system increase the risk of heart attack. In trying to fight the bacteria, the body’s immune system causes the arterial walls to become inflamed, by sending greater blood flow to enlarge the tissues and trap the germs. The increased blood flow and inflammation causes the acid plaque to break off more easily, and also increases blood pressure. Unless the acid accumulation in the body is reduced, your risk of heart attack and heart disease will continue to increase.

THE BENEFITS OF A BALANCED pH

Fortunately a reduction in body acid is possible through proper diet and supplements. As you focus on a heart healthy diet, you need to take a look at the bigger picture. This includes a pH healthy diet as well. You need to reduce your intake of acid-causes foods and increase your intake of foods and supplements that neutralize the acids already present.
