Alkaline Body Balance

---

Having a good alkaline body balance has been found to yield therapeutic effect in the body. An acidic environment within the body negatively affects health at the cellular level.

Regulation of the acid-base balance refers to the control of the hydrogen Ion concentration in the body fluids. It is very Important that the pH of body fluids be maintained within the narrow, slightly alkaline range of 7.35 and 7.45.
Body tissue that under a pH of 6.8 is acidic and cannot block neoplastic growth (cancer). A cool and acidic environment encourages cell lysing, while warm alkaline environments inactivate virus spores. An acidic environment cause your body to be more susceptible to inner malfunctioning and external agressors, making it easier for disease to take hold.

When the body can no longer effectively neutralize and eliminate the acids, it relocates them within the body's extracellular fluids and connective tissue cells, directly compromising cellular integrity. As more acid wastes back up and the body slowly stews in its own poisonous wastes, the acids begins to corrode veins, arteries, cells and tissues, causing degenerative diseases.

The body is able to handle acidifying minerals in moderate quantities. However, if most of your food leaves acid ash, too much acid accumulates and the vital minerals of your alkaline reserve must be used to neutralize the acid.

If after eating acid ash producing foods your morning urine pH was between 6.8 and 8.0, you are sick no matter how good you feel. You have already passed the point where your body has alkalizing minerals to be used to neutralize acid.

Most Americans have been eating predominantly acid ash foods for most of their lives.

It is well accepted that protein intake beyond what our body needs creates acidity in the stomach, a condition that leaches calcium from the skeleton.

Most soft drinks, particularly colas, are extremely acidic. Colas contain high levels of phosphoric acid,15 a powerful acid capable of poisoning you if not quickly neutralized.

When you begin eating mostly alkaline ash foods, you will be getting better as your urine pH drops from 7.0 to 6,4 and 5,5.

You can test your alkaline body balance mesuring the pH of your saliva or your urine.

To test for saliva pH, use a strip of pH test paper two inches long and create a pool of saliva on your tongue. While holding one end of the test paper, dip the other end into the saliva being careful not to touch your lips to the paper. After dipping in the saliva, immediately pull it out and read the level according to the chart. The saliva contains an enzyme that comes directly from the liver. so, the saliva pH is also a good indicator of the strenght of the liver. The saliva pH should be between 6,4 and 6,8. If the pH value veries considerably durnig the day, it indicates that you need to make dietary changes.

Urine test shlould be performed in the morning . The pH of urine can range from 4,5 to 8,0.

To test your Alkaline Body Balance I suggest you
pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips measure a wide range (4.5 - 9.0) and they are the only test strips on the market that can pass through a urine stream without having the reagent bleed, making them exceptionally easy to read. Simply put, pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips measure a wider pH range more accurately!

Conclusions: when th pH of the urine or saliva continues to be less than 6,0, the state of health can range between poor to very poor.
Generally, simply improving diet, detoxification and exercises will move the values up to the correct range.
