Savtúltengés

Savtúltengés, a Hungarian term, translates to "acid overload" or "acid surplus." It refers to a state where the body's natural pH balance is disrupted, leading to an excess of acidity. While the body has sophisticated buffering systems to maintain a stable pH, various factors can contribute to a temporary or chronic shift towards acidity.

Commonly cited causes for savtúltengés include dietary habits, particularly the consumption of highly processed foods, refined sugars, and excessive animal protein, while lacking sufficient fruits and vegetables. Lifestyle factors such as chronic stress, lack of sleep, and insufficient physical activity are also believed to play a role. Environmental toxins and certain medications are sometimes implicated as well.

The proposed symptoms associated with savtúltengés are diverse and can range from fatigue, headaches, and digestive issues like bloating and heartburn to more general complaints such as joint pain and skin problems. It's important to note that many of these symptoms are non-specific and can be indicative of various health conditions.

The concept of savtúltengés is not widely recognized within mainstream Western medicine. While the body does regulate its pH meticulously, the idea of a widespread "acidic state" in healthy individuals outside of specific medical conditions like acidosis is often debated. Nutritional science generally emphasizes a balanced diet rich in whole foods for overall well-being, rather than focusing on achieving a specific pH level through diet alone. Treatment approaches often involve dietary modifications, stress management techniques, and lifestyle adjustments aimed at promoting overall health.
