The two phases of the disease cycle (discussed in previous article, http://www.nagpurtoday.in/have-you-ever-wondered-how-a-disease-starts/) have an intense effect on our bodies and an understanding of how diets can help our system, will help assist in healing our body. Our bodies and muscles need instant energy in the first phase and hence we crave carbohydrates, sugars, dairy proteins and other foods. Our bodies in the second phase need food that heals and builds the cells so that they can regenerate effectively.

Your body is in stress during the first phase and, as the cells are working they produce acidic waste, so your body is in acidic state. Your body is regenerating in the second phase and as the cells are repairing they are in alkaline state, so your body is in alkaline state. Now to check acidic and alkaline state, the pH scale (the balance between acid and alkaline state) goes from 0-14 with 7 being NEUTRAL, below 7 is ACIDIC and above 7 is ALKALINE with the optimal blood level being 7.365. The body includes a number of organ systems that are adept at neutralizing and eliminating excess acid, but there is a limit to how much acid even a healthy body can cope with effectively.  The pH level of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies and ultimately our state of health. The levels of sugar, oxygen, and carbon dioxide within the blood must all be stable, and the pH of the bodily fluids, including the blood, should be slightly alkaline.
