15. Your Hair and Nails are Brittle

Acidity can wreak havoc on your nails and hair; if your nails break easily and your hair is dry and full of split ends or even breaks off at the ends, a look at your diet and your pH levels could reveal the cause. Excessive acidity over a long time period can prevent you from growing your hair or nails; while both continue to grow, they are so dry that they break off easily so you seem like you never make any progress.

Replacing high acid foods with alkaline alternatives can help you elevate your pH; consume lots of greens, fruits and vegetables to naturally correct your pH levels. By carefully examining your diet, you can hunt down the source of your low pH and take steps to correct it. Recognizing the signs of low pH levels allow you to take action and correct the problem – and improve your overall health and wellbeing, too.
