IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT ALKALINE STATE OF MIND!
Testing your pH is a crucial part of maintaining health.
For those of you who don't know, pH stands for potential of hydrogen. It's measured on a scale of 0 to 14 typically. The lower the number, the more acidic. The higher the number, the more alkaline.
Balance is the key here. You don't want to be overly alkaline but what's even worse is being too acidic!
The problem is that most people are consuming way too much acid forming foods like dairy, grains, meats, and sugar and alcohol.
The standard American diet is by far, the worst diet on the planet and one that causes long term acidosis in the body.
When you're too acidic, unhealthy organisms start to grow which damages tissues, organs and compromises the immune system.
A compromised immune system is the gateway and path of diseases like cancer.
So what should your PH be?
A pH of 7 is neutral. The healthiest pH is one that is slightly alkaline. Optimally, we want a pH of 7.3 to 7.5.
It's important to know your number. This is why I recommend testing your pH using testing strips. The strips, like the ones shown in the picture (courtesy of @superelixir ) can be used to test both saliva and urine.
Happy testing!
May you always be alkaline and feelin' fine! Tom
