All dogs had post-exercise elevations in rectal temperature, pulse rate, arterial blood pH, PaO2, and lactate, and decreased PaCO2 and bicarbonate, as expected with strenuous exercise, but there were no significant differences between BCC dogs and normal dogs.

This provides an added bonus, as the trace ionic mineral solution has multiple health benefits in and of itself, such as... greater oxygen delivery to your cells, healthy blood pH balance and regulating nerve impulses with magnesium.

When the body is forced to constantly regulate blood pH, this overdrive may cause muscle wasting, bone weakening, hypertension, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and memory and cognition morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases.

Carbonic acid, regulator of blood pH levels, keeps you in the right range for health.

While your body has a natural defense system against having an acidic blood pH, it is possible for these buffers to get worn out over time — especially if several factors are present that negatively impact your pH, such as stress and a highly acidic diet.

These buffers help prevent extreme drops in blood pH. This is an important defense not only against acidifying foods, but also against other factors that promote acidity in the body, such as chronic stress (7).

But since the modern diet is typically higher in acidifying foods, including alkalizing foods into your diet each day will help neutralize your blood pH and improve your health in numerous ways.

In ketosis, the blood pH remains buffered within normal limits [5].

This will assist the body in maintaining a slightly alkaline blood pH. When the body is too acidic it leaches alkalizing minerals from the bones to balance the pH. Alkalizing the system supports the health of the gut as well.

What he found was that having a blood pH of 7.36 rather than the previous ideal of 7 can inhibit cancer growth and development.

Testing blood pH is also not accurate because it only fluctuates in events such as poisoning, kidney disease, or lung disease.

Testing through blood is not accurate because blood pH fluctuates only if there is an acute event, such as poisoning or kidney or lung disease.

In fact, our blood pH is actually very well controlled.

However, a highly regulated blood pH doesn't mean that your diet has no affect on your body.

Many «Alkaline Diet» fads use urine pH as an indicator for health and although there are changes to urine pH, acidic urine does not reflect blood pH, metabolic acidosis or adverse health conditions [10].

An acidic diet may not affect the blood pH much, but can decrease urinary magnesium levels, urinary citrate and pH, while increasing urinary calcium, undissociated uric acid, and phosphate.

This is a little bit more nuanced, and the idea is that when you consume acid - forming foods, it doesn't change the pH of the blood directly, but the body pulls minerals out of the bone in order to maintain a stable blood pH. So if you continually are eating net acid - forming diets with animal products, then you eventually will pull enough calcium out of your bones that you'll start experiencing bone demineralization and osteoporosis.

The truth is though that whilst your urine pH might shift slightly based on your food choices, your blood pH won't change at all.

Again though, this neglects the fact that the kidneys, as well as the liver and lungs work hard to maintain a constant blood pH.

The truth of the matter is though that nothing you eat will change your blood pH that much.

Being the most critical pH balance, normal blood pH reads between 7.35 and 7.45 which is slightly alkaline.

Diabetic ketoacidosis for example is where blood pH drops to a dangerously low level because of a lack of insulin.

This occurs due to the low levels of insulin in the blood, which will signal the body to produce excess ketones that will build up in the blood, making the blood pH too low.

As we know by now though, blood pH can't be manipulated.

Whether the alkaline diet can support weight loss because of changes to blood pH or simply that it helps you achieve a calorie deficit is another matter though.

The reality is that your body will regulate your blood pH under all but the most extreme circumstances.

In fact, real acidosis, where the blood pH dips below 7.35, can result in some very serious symptoms.

Normal blood pH is around 7.35 to 7.45.

Calcium balances your pH - if there is insufficient calcium (or other alkaline minerals) stored in the cells, your body will extract it from your bones and tooth, leading to optimum blood pH, but also weak bones.

So, why does a rise in blood pH (alkalinity) make you feel sleepy?

It apparently affects blood pH level too.

Here your blood pH falls even lower than normal which can be life - threatening.

In DKA, however, blood ketone concentration can reach up to 25 mM — orders of magnitude greater — and blood pH can decrease to fatal levels that overwhelm the body's acid buffering capacity.47

I honestly haven't done much research on the acid / alkaline type of diet, but what I've learned in physiology at school is that the body maintains the blood pH value at a very narrow range.

It takes month to change tissue and blood pH. Just focus on the big diet changes.
