pH Challenge
The importance of acid-base balance is critical for health, performance and recovery. By doing a PH challenge, Melissa will be able to test your ability to buffer a solution. A very acidic body is not only unhealthy, but can reduce the amount of oxygen entering the cells. This can lead to more build up of lactic acid. The body is smart and needs to correct this imbalance, so will kick in its buffering mechanisms by using minerals such as magnesium and calcium from the bones. The depletion of these minerals will have a negative effect on energy, health and recovery.
