Do you have a brain reserve?

Many of us have/get too much acid, and when the natural acid-base balance is out of balance, it's really hard on the body. It responds to the overtime you put it on. This means a bad mood, low energy levels and perhaps a pain in the stomach, back or somewhere else.
Too much acid is caused by several things, but the diet is a major cause of "overacidification" of the body.
A diet rich in acid-forming foods such as red meat, processed foods and sugar can negatively affect your body. Other things that cause acidosis are stress, negative emotions, too large portions of food and if you eat too quickly. Overacidification affects our bones, muscles, joints, organs and psyche. Too much acid over a long period of time leads to several different diseases.
With continued acid stress, the connective tissue will change and be damaged. In women, it often manifests as cellulite (orange peel). In both men and women, too much acid can cause joint pain and muscle tension (myosis).
Some believe that inflammation in the body can be exacerbated by an acidic diet, although more research is needed in this area.
If you have periods when you feel stressed, pay extra attention to eating alkaline foods.
An alkaline diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables can contribute to a balanced diet and support your overall well-being.
Whether something tastes sour or not does not say anything about acid-base. For example lemon juice is acidic but acts alkaline when it comes to the kidneys, which are part of our purification system. The kidneys contribute to maintaining a relatively neutral acid-base balance (pH value).
Staying hydrated by drinking water is also important for body functions.
