Overwhelmed and Overstressed Is

Overwhelmed and Overstressed Is Not a Formula for Health

The more stressed we are and the more stressed our bodies are, the more likely we are to have a health breakdown. An interesting fact you may not be aware of is that there is a common denominator to all illnesses: excess acid! Our bodies are heavily taxed just trying to neutralize the effects of this accumulated excess acid. Actually getting rid of the acid is another matter. Chemical toxins are already overwhelming our bodies: excess acid becomes one more poison your body has to counteract.

Where does all this acid come from?

We create acid in our bodies by eating a diet of acid-forming foods, we drink acidic water chlorinated), we breathe acidic air (exhaust fumes), our stress levels produce acid, and even our exercise programs generate acid (lactic acid.)

pH Factor and Your Health

pH (potential for Hydrogen) is a system for measuring the degree of acidity/ alkalinity in the body (blood, urine, and saliva.) The scale runs from 5.5 to 8.0, 5.5 indicating extreme acidity and 8.0 indicating extreme alkalinity. The body’s ability to function properly depends on the proper pH balance of its blood, tissues, organs, and glands. The cumulative effects of excess acid disturb the body’s natural pH balance. The digestive enzymes system in particular, which transforms food to energy, relies heavily on the body maintaining a proper pH balance. The same holds true for all functions in the body. Osteoporosis is an example of a health breakdown that occurs because of a highly acid pH state. The body extracts calcium, a highly alkaline mineral,from the bones to help neutralize excess acids in the blood and body.

Our overworked organs need more resources. When the body is overtaxed, it channels energy and resources away from other vital activities such as digestion and healing functions. The result is a general rundown feeling of exhaustion. This leads to a reduced ability to fight viral and bacterial infections. The human body was designed as an alkaline system. Yet despite this, most people are highly acidic. The Platinum Energy System™ Foot Spa helps the body purge excess acids and poisonous toxins.

Restoring Balance

The Platinum Energy Systems Foot Spa has proven to re-balance the pH of saliva, blood, and urine. We test the pH of clients’ saliva before and after each session. Most people prove to be acidic at the beginning of the Foot Spa session and re-balance to an alkaline pH by the time the session ends. The ideal time to test pH is first thing in the morning, on awakening, and before you have had anything to eat or drink.
