What Should Your AM Urine pH be to Avoid Acid Overload, Elevated Cortisol, & Low grade insulin resistance/inflammation
Protein is great.
We all feel better with generous protein intakes.
But too much protein over time, without adequate alkaline veggies, we then lose alkaline sodium bicarbonate.
More meat and less veggies = easy to become excessively acidotic.
We lose muscle mass.
We get insulin resistant.
We develop a low grade chronic metabolic acidosis. And insulin resistance.
Pear of the day yesterday came from the amazing Dr. Jeffrey Moss, whom I’ve know and respected for over 40 years.
Dr. Moss taught:
“Consuming large amounts of animal protein depletes our bicarbonate and citrate buffering capacity.”
“This especially can become problematic once we start producing more than 40-70 mEq of acid per day, which typically occurs at a urinary pH of 6.25-6.5.”
How to know if this is happening to you?
