A pH level measures how acid or alkaline something is. A pH
of 0 is totally acidic, while a pH of 14 is completely alkaline. A pH of 7 is
neutral. Those levels vary throughout your body. Your blood is slightly
alkaline, with a pH between 7.35 and 7.45. Your stomach is very acidic, with a
pH of 3.5 or below, so it can break down food. And your urine changes,
depending on what you eat -- that's how your body keeps the level in your blood
steady.
The alkaline diet claims to help your body maintain its
blood pH level. In fact, nothing you eat is going to substantially change the
pH of your blood. Your body works to keep that level constant.
But the foods you're supposed to eat on the alkaline diet
are good for you and will support a healthy weight loss: lots of fruits and
vegetables, and lots of water. Avoiding sugar, alcohol, and processed foods is
healthy weight-loss advice, too.
What is Digest Aware?
Due to our bad food choices, we can sometimes experience
uncomfortable situations like being bloated, get gasses and heartburns. All of
these are resulting in bad diet choices. Consuming
foods that are very acidic can lead to diseases such as arthritis,
fibromyalgia, irritable bowel disorders and even cancer. In order to avoid any
of these, Digest Aware is made to help you make better decisions when it comes
to food.
Why Do We Love It?
Digest Aware will measure your intake of food by also
measuring the pH of the food. This is measured with a special unit PRAL
(Potential Renal Acid Load). It will automatically measure the PRAL of every
food that you log. The recommended PRAL daily should be about -35 & -15. Of
course, you are allowed to have acidic foods, but only in consideration.
Digest Aware will make it easier for every user to put meals
together in order for a better digestion. The foods that we eat need different
enzymes in order to break down and for our organs to digest it. Combining wrong
foods can lead to producing toxins and energy waste. The app will grade your
meals with “GOOD”, “FAIR”, “POOR” and “BAD”. For example, eating six different
foods at a meal separately, creates a different layer in our stomach that need
different enzymes for them to break down, without affecting each other. When
every layer is digested, it leaves the stomach more comfortable to digest the
next layer as the size of the stomach get smaller. That’s why we think eating
more than six different foods at a meal can be ugly.
