Our lifestyle often means that our body is over-acidified. But what does that actually mean?
The body absorbs acids in different ways. One of the biggest sources of acids is our predominantly acidic diet. Processed foods, coffee, white flour, cigarettes and alcohol, for example, all supply our body with more acids than it actually needs. However, there is also a counterpart to acids: alkalis. All foods that are alkaline (or alkaline, which is simply another word for basic) work like scales in combination with acids. If the scales are in balance, our body and we are doing well. Spinach, nuts, herbal tea, vegetable oils, potatoes,... There is a long list of foods that are predominantly alkaline and therefore beneficial for our organism.
The problem, however, is, as is so often the case, our fast-paced and stressful lifestyle, which is generally rather acidic. Skin problems, irritability, nervousness, thin, brittle hair or digestive problems can be the result.
Alkaline lifestyle
If you have chosen a conscious, healthy and decelerated lifestyle for yourself, you can counteract hyperacidity. Eating more alkaline foods and, last but not least, alkaline body care promotes natural balance. Both components play an equally important role: what we consume as food and the nutrients and alkaline body care we receive through our skin. If you then also pay attention to a balanced rhythm between work and rest, tension and relaxation, wakefulness and sleep, you can positively influence your body awareness, your state of health, your vitality and your general attitude to life.

Frequently asked questions:
What does PH value 5.5 mean?
The pH value indicates whether a product is acidic or alkaline/alkaline. 0-7 stands for acidic, 7-17 stands for alkaline/alkaline. A pH value of 5.5 corresponds to the skin's natural acid mantle and is therefore particularly well tolerated by the skin.
How do I find the right product for my demanding skin?
At Keimling Naturkost you will find a detailed description of each product. As a general rule, try out new products on a single area of the body first.
How can I avoid hyperacidity?
If possible, moderate endurance sports, a healthy diet with unprocessed foods, plenty of water or tea and alkaline body care with high-quality products are a good way to lead the body and skin out of hyperacidity. Please always consult a doctor or nutritionist if you have any problems.
