Believers in holistic health blame many ailments on the
body's pH being too low or too
acidic. Increasing your
body's pH is called “alkalizing.”
Lemon juice in its natural state is
acidic with a
pH of about 2, but once metabolized it actually becomes alkaline with a
pH well above 7.Although
lemon juice is acidic, when it is processed by the body the result is an
alkaline effect. Adding
lemon juice to your
water can be a great way to increase its pH to alkalinity.
