pH

[wyjoz]

did you know this? The pH scale is logarithmic. So, for example,
urinary pH of 6 is 10 times more acidic than 7. This
imbalance is relatively easy to correct.

On the other hand, urinary pH of 5 is quite a different story.
While it may appear that 5 is only "One point less" than a
reading of 6, in actuality it is 100 times more acidic than 7.
To maintain good health the body is constantly seeking to
get rid of the excess acids that irritate the tissues and deplete
them of minerals. One of the principal systems it uses for
this purpose is the renal system (kidneys).
The normal rate of acid excretion through the kidneys gives
urine a pH that falls between 7.0 and 7.5. By testing the
degree of acidity of the urine, you can determine whether
your body is eliminating a normal quantity of acids.
If the acid excretion rate is higher than normal, the urinary
pH will be more acidic. This low urinary pH is also an
indication that the body is saturated and therefore in an acid state.
Another indicator of the overall pH balance in your body
is the pH of your saliva.
When your body has the mineral reserves that it should,
the abundance of minerals will show up in a saliva ph test as a
pH reading of 7.0 to 7.50.
A low saliva pH reading indicates that the mineral reserves in
your body are low, and are being used to buffer acids
elsewhere in the body.
There is a strong correlation between the pH of the body's
internal environment and that of the urine and saliva: urine
and saliva become acidic when the body's internal environment
becomes acidic.
You can test the pH of these fluids by using Alkalive(TM) pH Stix(TM).
These pH test strips are made specifically to test saliva and urine,
and are easier to use and more accurate than litmus or pH paper.
Tomorrow, we'll discuss the role that diet plays in affecting
the pH of your body.

Thanks for information, right now I am very interested in that issue. I found out that it is mostly about the minerals in your body : alkaline minerals are calcium, iron, magnesium and some others. Grass, cucumber, green leaves(the best are wild) are the most alkalizing.

thank so much for all of this great information.
