You know you are in a state of
acidosis when it seems like your entire life has become toxic. The ill health that results from eating foods
and indulging in activities that create acidic conditions in our bodies, such
as smoking cigarettes and other substances, drinking alcohol and eating refined
foods, affects other areas of our lives as well. Our mental and emotional
capacities can be compromised and in turn also affect our working and personal
relationships.
A state of acidosis leads to
problems such as mucous congestion, inflammation, and eventually degenerative
changes in the body that is the basis of most chronic disease. Correcting this acidic
condition halts the progress of disease and aging.
Acidosis Might Be A Result of Self-Neglect
Illness is a call to us from our
bodies. The message is, “It’s time to
change.”
If you are searching for
naturopathic services, it is possible that you are feeling unwell enough to try
and make a big change. Often people come to us when other types of treatments,
such a prescription medications, have not worked. Many people who visit a
naturopath simply feel a bit “burnt out” and like they have been “letting things go” health
wise.
It is time to pay attention to the
little nagging red flags about your health such as high blood pressure, weight
gain or fatigue and do something about it. Most of these symptoms are the
result of your body living in a state of acidosis. Sometimes it is the
treatments for disease that can cause acidosis. A good example would be the individual
who has undergone general anaesthesia and needs to detoxify or the person who
is recovering from the effects of cancer treatments.
Correcting Acidosis By Eating Alkaline
In order to correct this condition
you need to eat foods that are less acidic. Vegetables, raw foods, vegan foods
and unrefined foods are the best. Eating alkaline foods allows you to slowly
but surely bring your body, and often your life, back into balance.
Many people who switch to alkaline
food or even subtly start incorporating them into the diet will experience some
sort of detoxification process. Usually these symptoms are mild and there are
some people do not suffer from any symptoms of detoxification at all. Usually
the symptoms are mild and include headache, nausea and feeling foggy.
Detoxification starts with
depriving our bodies of their usual intake of poisons from water, air and food
and replacing those toxins with fresh juices and raw foods. Switching over from an unhealthy diet full of
acidic is not easy for some people but doing so is absolutely necessary if you
want to feel better.
This alkalizing/detoxification
process can seem a bit daunting at first because for many people it means
getting rid of some questionable lifestyle habits. Yet, this becomes easier if you think of one
step at a time. Here at Pinewood we are here to help you take those first steps
towards recovering your health. Then you
will not feel overwhelmed. Even with a few baby steps taken in the right
direction, you will begin to feel revitalized!
