Symptoms and consequences

Long-lasting changes in the acid-base balance can - sooner or later - have effects on different body functions. Since chronic acidosis has no specific symptoms, it often remains undetected for years.

Poor general well-being and decline in performance

Possible symptoms of acidosis:

• Tiredness and exhaustion
• Decreased performance
• Reduced concentration
• Increased sensitivity to stress
• Nervousness

Internal and external physical symptoms

Acidosis symptoms can cause problems such as:

• Reduced resilience
• Muscle and joint problems
• Changes in the skin, hair and nails

Consequences of chronic acidosis for the bones

An overload of acid can also have long-term effects on bone strength. In countries with high fruit and vegetable consumption and low intake of animal protein, bone strength in the elderly is significantly higher. Improve your bone strength by balanced diet rich in alkaline fruits and vegetables.

Consequences of chronic acidosis for the connective tissue

An overload of acid can have negative effects on the elasticity of the connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, muscles etc.). This can be important especially in people with joint problemswho should focus on eating enough alkaline-producing foods to prevent an increasing acid load and to counteract chronic acidosis.
