Body acidity & weight gain

Did you ever think that you might be too acidic? If you’re feeling tired and sluggish, you probably are, but go through the following information and ask yourself – do  you have some or most of the following symptoms as these are definite indicators of excess acidity.
 
 General mental and physical fatigue

 Joint pain or stiffness especially in the morning

 Hormonal symptoms such as nasty PMT, heavy or painful periods and menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes

 Symptoms of intolerance to carbohydrates like cravings for sweets, always hungry, bloating

 Blood sugar handling problems such as sleepiness after meals, get tired when you stop

 Feel flat, depressed, non motivated (it is virtually impossible to feel good when you’re acidic)

 Weight gain and fat storage – because of the sluggish metabolism, acidic people struggle with their weight and find it very difficult to achieve and maintain effective weight loss
 
Clinically, I find, without exception, a person who feels unwell and fits the above picture, is too acidic.

I would like the opportunity to help you fix these problems. Is it a challenge? Yes, it can be, but when you learn how to get well, it doesn’t get much better than that.  Optimal health is a great achievement.  Invest in yourself.
