The acidity helps balance the bodies need for it and the PH levels, ties in with so many minerals and actions in the body..
I suffer Gout Uric Acid levels, waste from Protein, which is horrendously painful if the acid builds and is dumped in the joints, Ive been so bad i cant walk.. Nothing to do with what I eat particularly Proteins..however I have 1st stage Kidney issues so this is my stressor.. raised BP since I was 30.. I knew Diabetes was on its way. I have Conditions of Diabetes in my Family, Brother T2, Mother T2, cousin Type 1 & myself Type 2 newly diagnosed this Year.
