How PH balance effects your body

In my other Life I used to be a chemical water treatment tech.I was responsible for testing boiler water and chiller water for" amongst" other things it's Ph balance-Potential Hydrogen and in that business there was a term" Total dissolved solids" and like in that business it was important to find out the PH of the water in these systems to rid the equipment of these"TdS"other wise early equipment failure would occur from the system rusting from the inside out.As the system was headed to an early scrap heap, it would also malfunction very often until the entire system just shut down. The PH in our bodies is just as important as the body produces acids ,if the level becomes to high it makes other bodily functions more difficult to perform. so if you are trying to lose weight or maintain a certain weight having your body in Ph balance makes these task a lot easier.
