| 0:00.0 | So if you guys have any questions whatsoever about keto or in a minute fasting, |
| 0:04.4 | whether you're starting keto as a new person or just need to debug your program or we have a question about a product. |
| 0:10.5 | Call one of our keto consultants. They'll be able to help you. Call 5405.7. |
| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Hey guys I'm back and we're going to talk about pH. This question keeps coming up over and over and over and I just wanted to do one video on this very specific point, okay? |
| 0:53.9 | Is having an alkaline pH healthier or not? |
| 0:57.3 | Okay, so let's talk about this. |
| 1:00.0 | The first thing you need to know is that your body has many different fluids, okay? |
| 1:05.1 | And each of those different fluids have a different pH. |
| 1:09.7 | Your whole body is not one pH. |
| 1:12.2 | Your entire body should not be alkaline, for example, or acid. |
| 1:17.0 | For example, the stomach is very acid, the large intestine is very acid, and the urine is acid. Now one of the reasons why |

| 1:45.3 | acid to help prevent the overgrowth of certain unfriendly microbes, okay? |
| 1:52.1 | Like Lactic acid is produced to help kill off certain microbes. |
| 1:56.6 | And the urine is acid to also prevent microbes from growing as well. |
| 2:00.8 | Now if we alkalize the fluids in these areas of the body |
| 2:03.8 | we're going to create a lot of problems. Now the idea that the body should be |
| 2:07.9 | alkaline really stems from the blood, okay? So if we reword this question, |
| 2:14.3 | is having an alkaline blood pH healthier, |
| 2:17.2 | that would be yes. |
| 2:18.2 | Because the blood has a very narrow, tight pH |
