* Your cells produce acid as they function, and your lungs eliminate it every time you exhale. That is good!

* Our body must constantly contend with acid, the one it produces is relatively weak and does not cause problems. The one we get from eating too much proteins and other acid-producing foods is stronger and causes many problems.

* Put inferior gas in your car and the engine will run very poorly. The same applies to our body.

* The term pH stands for "Potential of Hydrogen". The pH of a substance is measured on a scale from 0.00 to 14.00. The midpoint, 7.00, is neutral: it is neither alkaline nor acid. The lower the number the more acidic, the higher, the more alkaline. Celtic Water has a pH of 7.5.

* Ideal pH is between 6.4 and 7.2

Notes:
1. Changing your diet to a more healthful balance of acid ash and alkaline ash should be done slowly.Quick, radical changes may lead to long-term health but short term misery.
2. When advising friends, family members or clients, always recommend treating the digestive system first, maybe with a light cleansing to start.
If one does not digest and assimilate properly the body will not benefit from a healthier diet.
