Are you interested in finding out your body pH level, but have never been taught how to do it? PH level is measured on a scale of 0 to 14; the lower the pH, the more acidic the medium, the higher the pH the more alkaline the medium. When a medium is neither acidic nor alkaline, it has a pH of 7, which is neutral.12 The body has an acid-alkaline ratio called the pH which is a balance between positively charged ions and negatively charged ions. Diet appears to be the major influence in maintaining appropriate pH levels throughout the body. Many of the foods and drinks we consume have an acidifying effect on our bodies. The more we become acidic, the more likely we are to develop many illnesses and diseases, have less energy and age more quickly. Therefore, it is always recommended to intake proper alkaline forming foods which provide a pH Balance for your body. The less acid-forming foods you eat, the easier you achieve pH Balance. Testing your internal pH level with the help of pH test strips gives you an instant, credible snapshot of your overall health. Your body naturally eliminates acids through the kidneys. When the acid expulsion is at a normal level your urine pH level is between 6.75 and 7.25. If there are higher levels of acid in the body, the pH level of your urine will increase. Similarly when you test saliva the body`s mineral reserves will show a reading of 7.0 to 7.50. If there are not sufficient minerals within the body this reading will be lower. Testing your blood is the most accurate way of measuring your body`s pH level, however urine and saliva are recognised as being the next best (not to mention being cheaper and more convenient to test). pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips are a super-sensitive and affordable solution that give you an extremely accurate reading of how acidic or alkaline your tissues really are. pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips are the leading pH testing strips for the body. As the strips are separated in small 0.25 unit increments, you`ll know down to the decimal what your pH is. Each pack contains 90 strips. The best time to test urine is the second urination of the day. The best time to test saliva is an hour or so after brushing your teeth. A test should be done each day for several days to achieve an average for each individual. Each pack contains 90 strips. |
