Living alkaline is all about supporting my body in maintaining its pH levels, rather than trying to change them. I've learned that my body has its own mechanisms to regulate and maintain pH levels in different areas. When I consume a diet high in acid-forming foods, it can cause stress and health issues. I've also discovered that chronic diet-induced metabolic acidosis is linked to various health conditions. That's why I've decided to follow an alkaline diet, which helps my body maintain its pH balance instead of trying to make it more alkaline. It's important for me to avoid trying to change my pH and instead focus on supporting my body's delicate pH balances.
