im acidic, what do i do now

[DeezGunz]

Well, I have been working out with this guy for several years. Real smart guy who has been going to school for nutrition, training, etc for the past 10 years. We recently started using less weights and using resistance bands and medicine balls, trying to shed off a few pounds. After about a month of doing this, and 12 pounds and a couple % less body fat, my wrists, left shoulder, and lower back started to hurt. He said something about testing out my ph because I could be acidic which would make it hard to burn fat and also messing with my joints. Yesterday I did the ph test in the morning and it turned out that my urine and saliva were both acidic. The optimal ph is 7.2-7.4 and I was at like 6.5 according to the ph strips. Anyone ever heard about this and if so, how the hell do I become more alkaline and less acidic?

never heard of it bro

there are many supplements at healthfood stores that will help balance your PH. eating alot of leafy greens will help too. also raising your PH slightly to the alkaline side will increase indurance.

Yea, I have been taking something called "Green Vibrance" which pretty much tastes like blended up grass, he said drinking that and eating a lot of greens should help me out. Oh, I forgot to mention that the reason someone may be acidic is because they have yeast in their body and if thats the case the disorder is known as "candida". If anyone knows, fill me in.

You may be a diabetic. When you can't process glucose your blood becomes acidic, call acidosis. People who extreme low carb become slightly acidic and produce a lot of ketones (a form of fat).

You might want to get tested for diabetes.

Well, I got blood tests to see what was going on and they said that all of my levels came back fine. I am gonna go to the orthopedist to see what the deal is with the joints hurtin. He is a diabetic however, so maybe thats why he automatically jumped to that conclusion right away.
