In order to have a healthy body, you need to have a body that is slightly alkaline.
The cells along with their chemical reactions, the immune system, and the beneficial bacteria in the gut, all of these things in order to work fine need to be in an alkaline environment, i.e. to be slightly alkaline.
If you have an acid body that means that your system does not function as it should.
When the pH levels of your body become too acidic (a condition called acidosis) you can be susceptible to different diseases like:
- Slow Elimination and Digestion
- Inability to Lose Weight
- Slow Metabolism and Obesity
- Fungal/Yeast Overgrowth
- Chronic Inflammation
- Mood Swings
- High Blood Pressure
- Chronic Fatigue and Low Energy
- Weight Gain and Diabetes
- Joint pain, Aching muscles, and Lactic Acid Build Up
- Weakened Immunity
- Bladder and Kidney Condition, such as Kidney Stones
- Premature Aging
- Osteoporosis, Brittle or weak bones, Bone spurs, and fractures
Test Your pH Balance
You can check your pH balance at your home, and it is easy and fast. You will need pH test strips. You can make the test during the day. However, bear in mind not to do the test at the same time every morning. Because the body is more acidic the earlier is measured. The goal would be the have a morning urine pH that will be between 6.5 and 7.5. When it comes to saliva, it should be similar to the one of your urine. Remember to wait 2 hours after eating and then measure the pH of your saliva. You need to fill the mouth with saliva and swallow. You can repeat this again to make sure that you have a clean spit. Then you can put saliva on the pH strip. It is ok if you are not ready to overhaul your usual diet. You should at least have a 70-30 ratio of alkaline to acid foods. Not only the food you consume, but also the stress might affect the pH levels. In order to prevent that, you need to practice deep breathing. Remember to drink water and eat veggies in order to lighten the acidic load. Source Love This Pic | Health Nut News
