Your body has the ability to heal itself, if you don’t get in the way. One way that you negatively impact your body’s ability to heal itself is by altering your body’s pH so it’s out of the ideal range.

Acidic versus Alkaline

Your metabolism converts food into energy and the waste (ash) produced during this process can be alkaline, neutral, or acidic. This ash affects the pH of your body. pH value range from 0–14:

• Acidic: 0.0–6.9
• Neutral: 7.0
• Alkaline (or basic): 7.1–14.0

The pH of a healthy human body ranges between 7.35 and 7.45, with the average at 7.40. A pH at this level is ideal for many bodily functions, including blood oxygenation.

Our lungs and kidneys help regulate our blood pH. Our lungs (which are affected by grief) regulate blood pH by exhaling carbon dioxide. As we store grief in our lungs, we often breathe less and become more acidic. Our kidneys (which are affected by fear) regulate blood pH by excreting acids through our urine. As we store fear in our kidneys, we often “hold on” and “freeze” thereby restricting the releasing of acids.

Factors That Affect Body pH

Factors that can affect our body pH include diet and stress.

Diet: If we eat foods that leave acidic ash, it makes our blood more acidic. If we eat foods that leave alkaline ash, it makes our blood more alkaline. Our North American diet tends to make use more acidic.

Stress: As we experience stress, fear and grief affect our lungs and kidneys and our bodies become more acidic. In general, our bodies are more acidic than what is ideal.

How to Make Your Body More Alkaline

For better health, it’s time to make your body more alkaline (I encourage you to have your urine pH or blood pH measured so you have a point of reference).

Tune in to your inner guidance and see which of the suggestions below are accurate for you. You can learn how to tune in to your inner guidance (communicate with your Divine Mind) in a number of ways:

Meditate to Make Your Body More Alkaline

Stress is the body’s reaction to emotions, such as fear and grief, and it makes our pH lower (become more acidic). It is important to de-stress and a great way to do so is to meditate. Here are some questions to ask your Divine Mind:

• “Do you tell me to meditate?”
• “How many times a day do you tell me to meditate?”
• “Do you tell me to follow along with Monica’s meditation?”

Change Your Diet to Make Your Body More Alkaline

If you eat foods that leave acidic ash, it makes your blood more acidic. If you eat foods that leave alkaline ash, it makes your blood more alkaline. After more than 20 years of testing people for food intolerances, I created a list of foods that tend to make our bodies more acidic.

Tune in to your Divine Mind and ask “do you tell me to stop eating … ?”

• milk and milk products
• caffeine
• coffee (including decaffeinated)
• corn and corn products
• wheat and wheat products
• oranges
• pineapple
• potatoes
• tomatoes
