How the Body Works

The body works as an interconnected system. Here we explain the mechanisms behind metabolism, digestion, hormones, the nervous system, inflammation, energy, recovery and adaptation – and why a change in one system can influence the whole body.

Acid-Alkaline Balance: What We Really Control

Blood is not alkalized by food – the body maintains its pH in a narrow range through buffers, lungs, and kidneys. The real question is the net metabolic load that these systems must process. Reducing this load through fewer processed foods and more vegetables relieves the kidneys and bones without changing blood pH.

Inflammation Is Not the Enemy. It Is the Signal.

n recent years, the word “inflammation” has become an almost universal explanation for a wide range of health problems. Fatigue. Pain. Excess weight. Digestive issues. Insulin resistance. Cardiovascular problems. Autoimmune processes. Accelerated ageing. And chronic low-grade inflammation is indeed involved in many pathological processes.

The Body Protects Blood pH. But at What Cost?

Few topics in nutrition generate as many opposing opinions as acid-base balance. On one side is the popular idea that we need to “alkalise the body” with green juices, alkaline water and the elimination of all so-called acidic foods. On the other side, we often hear the exact opposite: “It does not matter at all. The body regulates its own pH.”

EVERYTHING IN THE BODY IS CONNECTED. NOTHING JUST WORKS. There are no "stand alone" nutrients in the body. There is a network. Each function is the result of an interaction: – vitamins – minerals – enzymes –…
