Finding My pH Balance

Finding My pH Balance is a great web and I love their booklet Home Test pH Kit. It is packed with science about acidic and alkaline foods. Amazingly, increasing alkaline foods can improve gut health. The Standard American Diet is very acidic. This was my first attempt at really improving my diet, eating more veggies and fruit (alkaline foods).

Compounding pharmacies are a great resource. South River Compounding Pharmacy provides my supplements and dispenses awesome advice. Their pharmacist introduced me to the booklet Home Test pH Kit. I purchased the booklet and found my first favorite expert. 

Home Test ph Kit explained in simple terms the pH of foods before and after they are eaten. Saliva changes the pH of food. The book explains the science of how food affects pH and how pH affects health. I learned how important it is for our bodies to get plenty of veggies, especially fresh greens, i.e., spinach and kale, and fruits, and hydrate properly.  

Everyone can benefit from learning the science of pH. I used the pH strips for about a week. It didn’t take long for me to realize, I am what I eat. The pH testing kit is fun to use for demonstrations. A fun experiment is to see citrus fruits, commonly known as an acid, are alkaline. Once mixed with salvia, citrus becomes alkaline. Try this at home with the family. Test soda, after my son saw his results, he stopped drinking soda. Soda is very acidic.
