As
more
acid
accumulates in our body, it gets stored and pushed further, and ultimately
it gets pushed into the cell. When it gets pushed into the cell, the first thing
it
does is displace POTASSIUM and then MAGNESIUM and then SODIUM.
Wow.
Those are three critical minerals in our
body. The potassium and magnesium will
leave the body, but as a
preservation mechanism the sodium will be retained.
Remember, the body knows it must place an alkaline molecule in
the blood to
escort out this increasing acid that is being stored in the
tissues and cells.
What it will often do (when mineral reserves
are low, which is often the case
when eating a modern American diet) is draw
CALCIUM (the most alkaline mineral
known) from the bones and put it into the
blood. This leads to something called
free calcium excess. This is
something you don't want and it is what's behind
osteoporosis, arthritic pain,
etc. It is brought about by the body compensating
for an ever increasing tissue
acidosis somewhere in the
body.
