How We Age
Medical science has discovered that, as we age, we lose bicarbonate (HC03-) in our blood; bicarbonate keeps the blood alkaline. Dr. Lynda Frassetto of the University of California1) published a paper showing bicarbonate levels in the human blood at various ages.
This graph, from her research, displays the decline of plasma bicarbonate density as it relates to age. The average bicarbonate level is constant until the age of 45, after which time a noticeable decline begins. This is the average age when symptoms of diabetes, arthritis, hypertension, osteoporosis, cancer, etc., start to appear.
Physical aging occurs when bicarbonate in the blood decreases. As these levels decrease, the body is less and less able to neutralize acid. This excess acid then accumulates as cholesterol, fatty acid, uric acid, kidney stones, etc. This is the latest theory on aging. If bicarbonate could be replenished to the blood, like recharging a battery, the aging process could be stopped, with numerous health benefits. This is the new theory of reverse aging.
In this brochure, you will find three different methods to replenish bicarbonate to the blood.
