An overly acidic body can cause frequent sighing, insomnia, water retention, recessed eyes, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine headaches, abnormally low blood pressure, dry hard stools, burning in the mouth or difficulty swallowing. 

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.  A pH of 7 is about neutral.  A pH less than 7 is acidic and a pH greater than 7 is alkaline.  Eating a diet high in vegetables will help balance an overly-acidic body.
