Alkaline Acid pH Food Chart

pH (potential of hydrogen) is the measure the of balance between positively and negatively charged ions in the body fluids, blood, urine and saliva. A low pH number below 7 indicates that your body fluid is on the acidic side, above 7 indicates it on the alkaline side, 7 is neutral. You should test your pH levels every 2 days. You can use pH test strips to determine your pH factor quickly and easily. If your urinary pH fluctuates between 6.0 to 6.5 in the morning and between 6.5 and 7.0 in the evening, your body is functioning within a healthy range. If your saliva pH stays between 6.5 and 7.5 all day, your body is functioning in a healthy range. The best time to test pH is one hour before and two hours after a meal. Additionally, you can have a lab test your blood pH. The blood pH is a more accurate indication of your overall system pH and a true indicator of your overall balance. Ideally, your blood pH should be 7.36.
