An alkaline (high pH/oxygen rich) system is important because we are oxygen creatures. Oxygen is the most essential substance for human life. Humans can survive weeks without food and days without water but only 3 minutes without oxygen. Many Naturopathic Doctors believe that at least 157 diseases are caused by an acidic/low pH system. In fact almost every named and unnamed disease condition has one thing in common: higher than normal accumulation of acidic waste in the body. Decades ago Dr. Otto Warburg, the only physician to ever win two Nobel prizes, proved that cancer can not exist in an alkaline/high pH environment.
If acid is allowed to build up, that part of the body will become starved of oxygen and disease will not be far behind. It is easy to visualize the importance of not letting your body become oxygen starved. Just hold your breath until it becomes a bit uncomfortable and then try to resume breathing normally, don't take any deep catch up breathes. Imagine your internal organs, trying to function without being able to take any catch up breathes, day after day, month after month.
