In this week's episode of the GLOW Podcast, Health and Mindset Coach, and author of Eat Clean, Live Free: A Woman's Guide to Health, Beauty, And Youthful Energy, Gina Santangelo educates us about the importance of maintaining PH balance in the body by balancing our intake of acidic and alkaline foods.
As with most health-related barometers, balance is everything. Unfortunately, the Standard American Diet (SAD) is rife with acidic substances and foods — meat, dairy, highly processed food products and refined sugar. This leads to excess acidity, which in turn sets the stage for bad bacteria (like yeast and fungus) and even viruses that wreak havoc on our health. The good news is, we can potentially tip the PH scales in the alkaline direction with a diet filled with mineral-rich plant foods.
