Chapter 1
Managing Your Acid Levels
You may not realize it, but you--and most other humans today--are coping with a problem not unlike the acid rain problem trees face. You are probably familiar with acid rain and its ravages. Laden with toxic pollutants and emissions, acid rain has a damaging effect on trees, harming their ability to withstand pests, disease, drought, and cold. It can even prevent a plant from reproducing. To combat acidity and stay alive, the tree or plant must pull minerals such as calcium and magnesium from the soil. But over time, the soil becomes depleted of these minerals, reducing the tree's chances of survival.
Modern humans are very much like those trees. When we eat a highly acid- forming diet, it is comparable to creating acid rain in our bloodstreams. In the same way we've polluted our planet, we are unconsciously polluting our bodies, which are basically microcosms of the natural world. The main difference is that we are well aware that we are polluting Mother Earth, but few people recognize that our bodies are suffering from internal pollution and acid waste. Fewer still recognize that internal pollution and acidity are linked to weight gain and obesity.
Our bodies must maintain an internal balance between acidity on one side of the spectrum and alkalinity on the other. This spectrum is known as the pH scale. Imagine that the pH scale is like a tug-of-war in your body. On one side is the acid team and on the other side is the alkaline team. The middle is neutral, which reads 7.0 on the scale between 0 (extremely acidic) and 14.0 (extremely alkaline). Most of what we eat and our lifestyle choices tip the balance in favor of acidity and also contribute to weight gain. Yet our blood needs to remain stable at 7.365 (slightly alkaline) to maintain health and life.
We cannot live if our body becomes acidic, so the body has mechanisms in place to ensure that the blood, which feeds our brain and all our organs, glands, and tissues, remains slightly alkaline. The body, in its infinite wisdom, has many ways to deal with acidity, but one of the ways we're concerned with is the tendency to store acid in fat cells to get it out of the blood quickly. Fat cells are your body's natural buffer against acid since they have a natural affinity for acidic toxins and acidic by-products of metabolism. Fat is actually your body's ally against acidic food choices, although I know more than a few people will find it hard to believe that fat is helpful to the body.
As an example, let's look at one of the most acid-forming foods we eat: sugar. When you eat sugar, it ferments in your body, forming lactic acid that, if not eliminated, will break down cells and lead to disease. In an effort to combat the acidity, your body goes into preservation mode and uses the fat in your diet and in your body to buffer and neutralize the acid. It attempts to eliminate the fat from your body, but if this is not possible, it will store it as fat deposits to keep the acid out of the bloodstream and away from organs, where it can do damage. If the acid is not eliminated, it will damage cells and tissues, leading to a breakdown of tissues, bones, and organs in the body.1
Acidity can also impair the proper functioning of our hormonal systems, which I probably don't have to tell you can cause weight gain. You'll learn more about this in some of the 60-Second Weight-Loss Tips later in this book.
Meat, dairy products, sugary foods, soda, coffee, and many other foods are all extremely acidifying to the body. Yet they are exactly what most people eat on a daily basis. Reducing the amount of acidic food in favor of alkaline choices gives your body a chance to restore balance at the cellular level, which allows it to start breaking down fat stores and ultimately rebalance your weight. But before we get to that, let's first take a closer look at acidity and alkalinity, why you need to prevent your body from becoming excessively acidic, and the weight-loss benefits of balancing your body chemistry.
Kick the Acid Out
If you've poured vinegar and baking soda in your sink to unclog the drain, you are already familiar with the pH concept, even if you didn't realize it. Vinegar is acidic and baking soda is alkaline. When mixed together, they bubble and fizz to neutralize each other. This is the whole foundation of the pH scale.
The term pH stands for "potential of hydrogen," which means the amount of hydrogen in a solution. But it isn't necessary to understand hydrogen atoms or hold a degree in biochemistry to grasp this concept. As I mentioned above, the scale ranges from 0, which is extremely acidic, to 14.0, which is extremely alkaline, with neutral being 7.0, in the middle of the spectrum.
Most of our bodily tissues need to be slightly alkaline for optimum health and weight. Your blood also needs to be slightly alkaline to keep you alive. Blood nourishes your organs, organ systems, tissues, and cells. Our primary goal throughout 60 Seconds to Slim will be to balance your body chemistry to ensure that your body and its cells, tissues, and organs are nourished.
Our biggest battle in overcoming acidity is our addiction to what I call the Standard American Diet (SAD). I'll get back to this topic in a moment. Our second biggest battle, and one that goes hand in hand with our SAD eating habits, is the stressful lifestyles many of us feel we cannot control. Poor food choices and stress push us toward the acidic side of the pH spectrum, causing our body to expend its resources on managing continuous--or chronic--acidity. Keep in mind that this imbalance is not the same thing as metabolic acidosis, a serious condition that can occur in relation to a preexisting disease and that requires hospitalization and medical treatment. I am talking about the ongoing, gradual, and accumulating impacts of this imbalance that manifest in numerous nagging physical and emotional symptoms, including weight gain as well as increasing vulnerability to disease.
Are You Acidic?
There are numerous ways to find out if you're acidic. In our modern world, the vast majority of people, even most health-conscious people, are acidic. I've developed a quiz to help you understand many of the factors that contribute to acidity. While it is not the same as testing your urine or saliva, it still gives you a good basis from which to work. Afterward, I'll explain how to test your urine or saliva pH to get an even better perspective on your acid-alkaline balance, or lack thereof.
So before we dive further into the 60 Seconds to Slim program, let's assess your current dietary and lifestyle habits, particularly to learn how they may be contributing to excess acidity and fat in your body. Here is the quiz I regularly use with my clients. Grab a pencil and paper to keep track of your points--and remember: Be honest!
