Consequences of a chronic acidosis
Sooner or later, long term modifications of acid-base balance may impact various functions of the organism. Correspondingly, the signs of chronic acidosis are very distinct. However, since chronic acidosis runs without any specific symptoms in most cases, it remains undetected for many years.

 

Typical signs of chronic acidosis
  • Fatigue and exhaustion
  • Reduced performance
  • Higher sensitivity of stress
  • Nervousness
  • Less concentration
  • Minimized immune resistance
  • Muscular tensions
  • Irritation of skin, hair and nails

 

Influence on bones

An overload of acid influences bone stability in the long term.
Even at younger ages, it’s crucial to maintain bone health in the long term by adequate nutrition with a high intake of alkaline fruits, vegetables and salad. Vital base substances may additionally contribute to achieve this. Recent studies have demonstrated that bone stability in older people is increased in countries with a high consumption of fruits and vegetables and a low consumption of animal protein.

Influence on connective tissue

An overload of acid has also a negative effect on the elasticity of the connective tissue. Even the musculoskeletal system with its joints and muscles exists on different types of connective tissues, which function is also influenced. Rheumatic disorders lead to a higher production of acid. Inadequate supply of alkaline foods like fruits, vegetables and salad increases acid load, and the level of pain rises to a considerable extent. An adequate alkaline intake counteracts overacidification and leads to a release of the connective tissue, which has also a positive impact on the joints.
