When your body has more acid then necessary, you have an, “Acid Body.” This excess acid is what leads to numerous unpleasant health conditions. The first one that comes to mind is gout. Gout is a condition where excess acid is attacking tissue at various joints in your body causing inflammation. Most diseases are a result of inflammation that is why disease names end in “itis,” colitis, diverticulitis, arthritis, prostatitis, dermatitis, hepatitis, and the list goes on. The food you eat has a major impact on the creation and accumulation of acids in your body. When you eat a high carbohydrate and low protein diet, you have eaten an inflammatory diet. For this reason, you want to watch your carbohydrate intake. When you don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables, in any form, you will have an acid body. Disease will follow.
