Hyperacidity
Overloading of the elimination mechanisms in the intercellular tissue leads to health problems and even serious illnesses caused by a disturbance in the acid-base balance.
Psyllium husks regulate the acid-base balance
Psyllium husks have the greatest effect on regulating acid-base balance when used as part of a so-called alkaline fast. This can lead to a comprehensive, positive shift in metabolic mechanisms. A beneficial effect on acid-base balance leads to natural intestinal cleansing. Denatured (cooked) foods, as well as foods low in fiber, can cause long-term intestinal dysfunction and lead to constipation or diarrhea. The composition of the diet also influences how the bacterial flora in the small intestine digests food components.
Industrial and fast food lead to increased fermentation processes and acidic metabolic products in the intestines, which are then absorbed into the blood through the intestinal villi and lead to hyperacidity. Psyllium husk can directly counteract these processes. During these harmful digestive processes, psyllium husk binds the resulting toxins through its natural swelling ability. Acidic metabolic waste products are largely neutralized in the intestines by psyllium husk. A course of psyllium husk gently relieves constipation and removes even stubborn layers of accumulated mucus and hardened stool.
Why natural intestinal cleansing with psyllium husks is incredibly valuable against hyperacidity is demonstrated by the patient's rapid and lasting recovery (without medication ??) (sounds very strange)
Due to its excellent tolerability, psyllium husks are the only alternative for long-term daily use.
The regulating effects of psyllium on the acid-base balance can be further enhanced by additional measures.
- Lots of exercise in the fresh air
- always drink enough fluids
- Sweating through sauna and exercise
- a change in diet with alkaline foods
- consistent abstinence from nicotine and alcohol
Proper chewing should also not be neglected, as saliva itself has an alkalizing effect. Unchewed food particles, simply swallowed, trigger fermentation processes in the intestines, which further increases the acid content.
The deacidifying effect of psyllium is reduced by excessive food intake. Overeating requires exceptionally large amounts of alkaline digestive juices from the pancreas. You should avoid any food intake, even a few hours before bedtime. The rule is: never eat hastily, too late, too often, or too heavily.
How does an over-acidified organism occur?
In metabolism, combustion processes, enzymes, and cellular functions can only run smoothly if a specific environment prevails. Human blood maintains a constant pH of approximately 7.4. Constantly balancing the acid-base balance is therefore an important function, as it is the only way to maintain health and prevent disease and infection. Negative changes in this delicate regulatory system can be observed in many people today. To a certain extent, the body is capable of balancing changes in the acid-base balance. However, the transition to pathological processes is fluid.
In an acidic environment, important metabolic processes slow down. The removal of waste products and harmful substances from the cells is disrupted, and it has been proven that overacidification can even lead to the degeneration of body cells. It must therefore be assumed today that many types of tumors originate from overacidification. Modern lifestyles play a decisive role in the development of overacidification in the first place (stress, lack of exercise, poor diet, insufficient fiber and vital nutrients, stimulants, alcohol, and nicotine). Likewise, certain conventional medications can negatively impact the acid-base balance to such an extent that the body's own buffer systems are no longer sufficient to permanently prevent overacidification. Experts also assume that environmental factors such as noise, particulate matter, or radiation exposure from cell phones or Wi-Fi also play a role in the development of overacidification. Excess acids pass from the digestive tract directly into the blood and are deposited in the connective tissue. At this point, at the latest, the diverse symptoms of hyperacidity can appear. These include, for example:
- rheumatic complaints
- Weakened immune system with frequent colds
- general malaise
- constipation
- Headache
- diffuse back pain
- Circulatory disorders
- pale facial skin
