High blood pressure and heart disease alleviated by reducing body acidity. Full explanation.

When acids build up in the body, the blood carries the acids. The corrosiveness of the acids threaten your arteries. Reacting to this threat, the liver takes body fat and converts it to cholesterol. The more acidic you are, the more cholesterol your body makes. The liver makes the bad type of cholesterol known as LDL. It is the bad type of cholesterol because it is the cholesterol that is placed as linings/deposits in your vascular arteries (and will eventually impede blood flow).

However, with time and increased levels of body acidity, the protective plaque itself becomes a problem. The plaque builds up in your vascular system to the extent that it begins to impede blood flow. Reduced blood flow leads to heart disease.
