Restore Your pH Balance

Testing the pH of your body sounds like an involved procedure requiring medical tests at the hospital but fortunately it is quite simple and can be done in the privacy of your own home using ...
The Litmus Paper Test
Litmus paper is available at most pharmacies and comes complete with instructions on its use in testing the pH level of your urine.When urine touches the paper it will change color to indicate the approximate acid/alkaline or pH level in your body. The lower end of the scale is acidic while numbers approaching 14 represent an alkaline environment.
Your urine should register at about 6.0 pH but ...
Different parts of your body will have different levels varying from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. If they stray too far from the norm you will have health issues.
- Urine – 6.0 pH
- Stomach (gastric acid) — 0.7 pH.
- Skin — 5.5 pH.
- Saliva — 7.4 pH.
- Blood — 7.4 pH.
- Pancreatic secretions — 8.1 pH
Too much alkalinity signals alkalosis while too much acid causes acidosis. Your body should register slightly on the acidic side of the scale to be healthy.
Apple cider vinegar will help maintain your pH balance either upward or downward whichever is needed.
How is That Possible?
If you burn your hand what is the first thing you do to cool it off?You blow on it right?
But what do you do if your hands are cold?
Get my point?
Vinegar has both acidic properties and alkaline properties that can come to play depending on the circumstances. (as do other fruits)
Want A Vinegar Boost?
If you are not feeling 100% try testing your pH level and then take 2 tablespoons of raw organic apple cider vinegar and honey in 6 ounces of clean water to nudge your system back in line.This concoction serves as an excellent “pick-me-up” and tastes pretty good as well.
If the taste doesn’t suit you try using apple juice instead of water and honey.
