Our health depends on the body’s pH level which measures the acidity or alkalinity of the body.  A pH level of less than seven indicates an acidic body while a pH level beyond seven means the body is alkaline. A slight drop in pH level makes the body more prone to diseases because harmful bacteria thrive in an acidic environment.  An unhealthy body gets overwhelmed by the toxins and the body's immune system can't defend itself against serious diseases. The good news is, cancer cells  - being anaerobic - cannot live in an alkaline environment.

Anaerobic bacteria  can't grow in the presence of oxygen. They're commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract.

The body’s ideal pH level is between 7.35 and 7.45. People’s lifestyle nowadays prevents them from maintaining this level and as a consequence, their immune system becomes weaker. Their preference for salty, oily,  fatty foods and caffeine-rich beverages is the major culprit why the body’s acidity level rises.

Researchers believed that an alkaline diet is the best way to restore the body’s normal pH level. An alkaline diet is composed of 70 to 80 percent of alkaline foods, which come from vegetables and fruits, and 20 to 30 percent of acid-forming foods such as meat. Eating alkaline-rich foods have positive effects on our general health.

Different vitamins and minerals are found in the vegetables and fruits we eat. These nutrients are crucial because the body needs them in order to function well.

For instance, vitamins B6 and B12 help lower blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular ailments while magnesium and calcium strengthens bone formation. Alkaline-rich diet also strengthens the body’s immune system and delays aging because it contains many antioxidants such as vitamins A and E, selenium, chlorophyll, bioflavanoids, and enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidise.  

Chlorophyll, which is abundant in vegetables, is also indispensable  because it improves the production of red blood cells in the body.  An alkaline body neutralizes the acids in the body which results  to an increased energy level, improved mental concentration, better weight management, stronger immune system, and healthier skin.

Wheatgrass is called the King of Alkaline Foods and a Super Food because it contains  essential nutrients---protein, carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, more than 100 enzymes, and fiber--- all of which  cleanse, alkalize and nourish the body.

Since 2007, Easy Pha-max Philippines, Inc. (EPPI) has made available  a wide range of wheatgrass-based products that if taken regularly, will maintain the alkalinity of our blood and bodies.. Because they’re plant-based and have no fat or cholesterol, wheatgrass products are easily absorbed by the body .
