Can you tell the difference between an acidic constitution and an alkaline constitution?

We all know that food can be divided into acidic and alkaline properties, but in fact, our human body constitution also has acidic and alkaline properties. Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to health. The pH value of human blood is only beneficial to health when it is within a certain appropriate range. So what is the difference between acidic and alkaline constitutions?

1. Characteristics of acidic constitution

1. Obesity, drowsiness, fatigue and lack of energy.

2. An acidic constitution is prone to cause ulcers, constipation, etc. When the acid in the human body increases and causes qualitative changes, diseases will occur.

3. Excessive stomach acid will cause stomach pain, stomach acid water, and even develop into stomach ulcer.

4. The acidity in body fluids is high, which will produce an acidic substance. This substance flows in the body and forms crystals in the joints. These crystals directly lead to joint gout-like diseases.

5. An acidic constitution will affect a child's intelligence. The University of Oxford in the UK once conducted a follow-up survey on 42 children and found that a child's IQ is closely related to the acidity and alkalinity of the cerebral cortex. The stronger the alkalinity of the cerebral cortex, the higher the IQ, and vice versa.

3. Characteristics of Alkaline Constitution

Nutrition experts often talk about acid-alkaline constitution, but ordinary people like us still don’t know much about alkaline constitution. An alkaline constitution means that the pH value of the blood is slightly alkaline, which is what experts believe to be the healthiest constitution. So what are the characteristics of alkaline constitution? This should be relative to acidic constitution. People believe that acidic constitution is the source of all harms, so alkaline constitution should be the source of all benefits. When it comes to the characteristics of an alkaline constitution, in fact, a healthy constitution has no obvious external manifestations. However, an unhealthy acidic body constitution will show many physiological reactions. As long as we look back at the acidic constitution, we can know the characteristics of the alkaline constitution. The simplest way is that as long as you are healthy, you have an alkaline constitution. Next, we will infer the characteristics of alkaline constitution based on acidic constitution.

1. Alkaline constitution characteristics: the source of health

Let’s first talk about the external reactions of acidic constitution. The most basic reaction is that it will cause our bodies to feel uncomfortable in various ways. I don’t have to get up early to go to work at 9 o’clock, but I feel tired just climbing the stairs. I had clearly slept for more than eight hours, but I felt very tired as soon as I sat down. In fact, your diet is not bad, but your face is always as pale as a piece of paper. If you have all of the above conditions, you undoubtedly have an acidic constitution, and this constitution has brought you great harm and needs to be adjusted in time.

2. How to maintain an alkaline constitution: a healthy lifestyle

If you find that you have become acidic, then what you need to do is to adjust your body in time. First of all, we have to get rid of bad habits in our lives. You can’t stay up late at night. Staying up late for a long time will make people develop insomnia habits, which will hinder healthy metabolism. You cannot skip breakfast. Breakfast is the most important of the three meals. Skipping breakfast not only disrupts your endocrine system but also easily leads to anemia or insufficient blood supply to the brain, which can lead to Alzheimer's disease in the long run.

Secondly, we need to coordinate the nutrition of the three meals and match meat and vegetables. It is best to eat some fresh fruit after a meal to achieve acid-base balance.
