Alkaline Acid pH
Food Chart |
 |
pH (potential of hydrogen)
is the measure the of balance between positively and negatively charged ions
in the body fluids, blood, urine and saliva. A low pH number below 7 indicates that your body fluid is on the acidic side, above
7 indicates it on the alkaline side, 7 is neutral. You should
test your
pH
levels every 2 days. You can use
pH
test strips
to determine your pH factor quickly and easily. If your urinary pH
fluctuates between 6.0 to 6.5 in the morning and between 6.5 and 7.0 in the
evening, your body is functioning within a healthy range. If your saliva pH
stays between 6.5 and 7.5 all day, your body is functioning in a healthy
range. The best time to test pH is one hour before and two hours after
a meal. Additionally, you can have a lab test your blood pH. The blood pH is a more accurate
indication of your overall system pH and a true indicator of your overall
balance. Ideally, your blood pH should be 7.36. More on
