Drinking Strong Acidic Beverages and Our Body

People often question the possibility of whether or not strong acidic beverages like cola erode parts of your stomach, intestine and esophagus, resulting in ulcers. The answer is no, and the reason can be explained by looking at the mystery behind the human body. How does it work inside  our body? For the stomach to properly digest the food, our body needs hydrochloric acid, which requires minerals such as salt. In this process, the sodium carbonate (NaHCO3), which is used as a pH regulator to maintain stable alkaline conditions appear in the stomach. For those who are interested in the scientific formula, it is written as: NaCl + H2O + CO2 = NaHCO3 + HCl.   First, we take food (Na and Cl), drink water and inhale carbon dioxide. In our body, it becomes NaHCO3 + HCl. The NaHCO3 has weak alkali components that yield neutralization when met with HCl (hydrogen chloride). Neutralization between acid and alkaline then removes the toxic property in HCl and turns it i...

“Obesity or overweight is not a fat problem but it's an over-acid problem”

“ Obesity or overweight is not a fat problem but it's an over-acid problem ”   Robert O. Young PhD , a research scientist and the author of the book, "The pH Miracle for Weight Loss" on his interview with CNN, shared tips on balancing body chemistry to lose weight. He said, “ Because our bodies constantly need energies, and there's waste product in energy production, which are acids, if our body does not eliminate acids through urination, perspiration or respiration, that acid gets on our hips, thighs, our waste lines, brain and this is what makes us fat ." The question is, how do we balance our body?  You should know what kinds of foods and drinks make you over-acidic. As we have discussed it at the last newsletter, one should avoid intake of too much acidic foods such as beef, chicken and pork, eggs, vinegar, soy sauce, mushrooms, corn, peanuts, dairy products, chocolate, tea and soda . The fact is, most Americans ’ diet is over-acidic. “ If acids a...

Love-Hate Experiment: How Words Affect Living Things

[Love & Hate Experiment] Check out our experiment on the relationship between words and water. In our office, we grew two onions for the past 3 months. For the one (left), we gave l ove and care with encouraging words like "I love you," while the other one (right) heard bad words like "I hate you" every day. Placed in the same environment with same water and air, the only difference was the words. Look for yourself how words influenced onions. See the water? The onion who was constantly being "hated" turned ugly and dirty. So, why don't you say "l love you" to yourself and your friends today!?

Newsletter Vol. 3 Coloring Your Plate Matters in Life

Biocera Weekly Newsletter Vol. 3, September  Coloring My Plate?  I remember back in 2009, when I was in Paris. It was sometime around November that I sat in a caf. Then through the window I saw many people passing by, most of them wearing black. It was very unicolor. Then I looked down on my brunch plate, and it was also very “uniquely unicolor”mostly green. I was somewhat feeling proud (!) to have a “well-being” meal because we were always told that “eating green” is a good diet to stay healthy. However, recently I have found that “coloring your plate with a rainbow of vegetables” is better than eating just green leafy veggies. It is not an exaggeration to say that in the contemporary society, many people have inappropriate eating habits. Or, people sometimes do not eat at all, skipping meals due to hectic schedules. They neglect the fact that their eating habits can actually make them suffer from chronic diseases such as blood pressure, heart diseases and even ca...

Newsletter Vol 2. Can Water Make You Fatter?

“Drinking water makes you gain weight.” This is what female teenagers and adults think. They avoid drinking water especially at night. To give you the answer right away, “No. It is not true.” As many are aware of, water has 0 calorie, meaning that it does not have anything to do with gaining weight. Drinking a large amount of water may temporarily seem to add on weight, but body weight goes quickly back to the original state with diuretic effect. Here is some information on water which is worth knowing for our daily lives. Tap Water vs. Boiled Water—what are the differences? The fundamental difference between tap cold water and boiled water is the movement in water molecules and dissolved oxygen. For boiled water, water molecules become active while the dissolved oxygen decreases. It may easily be absorbed due to high movement of water molecules, but it has less oxygen than cold tap water. According to the Dr. Lee Seung-nam of Gangnam Best Clini...
