acid alkaline
Test your pH value
How do you know if your eating and living habits are alkaline? You can test
it at home! The body’s acidity – its pH value – can be measured from saliva
and urine with litmus strips, a sort of indicator paper. You can order it from
www.bettinnadelfs.com or buy it at a pharmacy, but the important thing is
that you get the type with decimal numbers.
The pH value of saliva shows the acidity of the body’s tissue. The pH value
in your morning urine shows how much acid your body has excreted. If both
strips show a pH value slightly above 7, your body is alkaline, and if it’s under
7, then you are too acidic.
In order for you to follow your body’s journey from acidic to alkaline – and
celebrate its triumphs along the way – I recommend that you make a habit
of checking your pH value twice a week, but it’s not a must. You can easily
follow this book without doing so, but it is a great motivator to see that
something positive is going on.
