Blood flows through your body carrying nutrients, oxygen and taking away toxins. It is a tissue composed mainly of water with cells suspended in it. Blood flows along a specific pathway through the body There are arteries, veins and capillaries in the body which allow blood to flow to all parts of the body.
If a person’s artery becomes blocked, an area of the body may not be supplied with oxygen and they can suffer a heart attack or stroke. The pH of the blood must be at optimal levels (pH 7.3 -7.4) or the health of the person may be at risk.
Thus, the nutrition we ingest is vital to maintaining our blood pH and allowing our blood cells to flow freely throug h our body, performing their function at the optimum level. When our blood cells can’t flow freely, or they ‘clump’ together, this is when a person is likely to experience dis-ease within their blood.
Look after your blood, so your blood can look after you!
