Our body tries its best to get rid of acidic residue left by acid-forming foods through urine, sweat and exhaled breath. However, our kidneys, skin and lungs can only cope with so much. They often become exhausted and cannot break down all the wastes from acid-forming foods, drinks and stimulants.

When this happens, what can’t be processed has to be stored somewhere in the body. In order to live healthily, our blood and cells must always remain slightly alkaline. So the body, always pursuing survival, changes leftover acidic wastes into solid wastes and stores them.

Here are some examples of solidified acidic wastes:

• LDL cholesterol (the harmful cholesterol that can build up on artery walls)

• Adipose tissue (AKA fat)

• Uric acid (responsible for gout, kidney stones and gallstones).

The accumulation of these solid wastes can also be described as the ageing process and the cause of disease. When you eat abundant alkaline-forming foods you’ll be able to excrete acid wastes far more effectively, and powerfully assist your whole body to function more efficiently. When your body is working in this way, weight loss is easy, symptoms disappear and good looks and health abound.
