WELLNESS trick- PH Test

Baking Soda For Your Body’s PH, To find out your body’s PH, buy some inexpensive litmus PH paper at your local pharmacy and measure your urine and saliva. First thing in the morning, your saliva PH measurement should ideally be between 7.0 and 7.4 before you drink anything. Expect your urine to be slightly more acidic in the morning, since your body has been clearing acids from your body all night. A urine PH reading between 6.0 and 7.0 is appropriate in the morning, and it should increase slightly during the day. Take these readings for a few days, tracking your results. If your PH levels are consistently lower than this, you can use a baking soda regimen to bring you to healthy levels.

 

 

If your average is low or in the acidic range, drink a glass of water with a half-teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in it twice per day. You need to have acids in your stomach to digest food, so take baking soda only between meals. Continue to monitor your PH. If it’s still low, drink this mixture up to four times a day as needed to improve your PH. Once your pH has normalized, eat more vegetables and less acidic food and you should be able to maintain the benefits.

 

Alkalinity

Another benefit of baking soda is its ability to promote a more alkaline PH balance in the body. Alkalinity is the reverse of acidity. Acidity is necessary for the effective digestion of food, but an overall alkaline PH in your body is considered healthier because many diseases thrive in an acidic environment. Diseases of a degenerative nature, like osteoporosis, arthritis, and cancer, have been associated with a chronically high acidity level in the body. The low cost of baking soda combined with its potential health benefits makes a regimen of baking soda water drinking a worthwhile dietary change.

 

In addition to the above benefits, simple household baking soda is incredibly versatile in helping to prevent kidney stones, gout, and urinary tract infections. Baking soda has also been linked with improved performance in serious athletes.

 

Tip: Baking soda is high in sodium. It’s not safe in high doses and shouldn’t be used for long periods of time. Be cautious with baking soda and consult your doctor if you are on a sodium-restricted diet or have high blood pressure because it’s moderately high in sodium.
