Enzymes, pH Balance Levels and Why What We Eat Matters
Our body's pH is greatly affected by what we eat. This is because food consists of its own biological materials that our body must breakdown, absorb, and assimilate. Proper food combinations help digestion and allows the body the ability to break down food more easily. This helps our body to better absorb the nutrients, to properly energize our body and to keep our body free of chronic illness.

We are what we eat, or so the saying goes. Regardless of how you interpret this statement, there is truth to this.

Don’t fall victim to doing what’s easiest.
