pH Testing & Balancing

It’s been said that 90% of ongoing disease is related to an imbalanced pH. The term pH refers to the acid/alkaline balance of fluids. Having the correct pH in the clear fluids of the human body is vital.

Clear fluids of the body make up approximately 55% of the fluids in humans. These include fluids in the lymph system, intracellular fluids (or fluids inside each of the trillions of human cells), fluids to cushion your organs, surround your heart, and fill your joints. ALL of those clear fluids can easily be tested using a fasting saliva test to see if they are in the ideal range of 7.1 to 7.5 pH.

For some people, testing their pH is a reason to celebrate because they have hit their target. Others may feel hopeless because their pH isn’t close to where they want it to be. The body is an amazing creation that can balance itself – given the right nutrients and energy. Don’t give up! Ask for help and let us know if you want to get there but aren’t yet. You can achieve pH balance and reap the benefits balance brings!

FAQ

What is pH?

pH isa measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base. pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in water.

Clear fluids of the body make up approximately 55% of the fluids in humans. These include fluids in the lymph system, intracellular fluids (or fluids inside each of the trillions of human cells), fluids to cushion your organs, surround your heart, and fill your joints. ALL of those clear fluids can easily be tested using a fasting saliva test to see if they are in the ideal range of 7.1 to 7.5 pH.

Is checking pH really important?

Yes! While some people may recognize if their pH is too acidic or too alkaline, the majority of individuals are unable to gauge the pH their clear fluids just going by how they feel.

When should I test my saliva?

The best time to test pH is first thing in the morning before eating, drinking or brushing one’s teeth. Upon awaking, the body has had a period of fasting where neither food nor drink will throw off the pH. Toothpaste, drinks, and chewing gum can also alter the results.

How often should saliva be tested?

Weekly testing is easy and more convenient than testing daily. An easy way to remember to test your saliva is to put out your pH test strips the night before testing.

What is the best water for pH balancing?

Drinking plenty of pure, clean water (distilled or reverse osmosis) daily makes a BIG difference with pH balancing. It takes electrical energy for the body to release oxygen and hydrogen from your daily water intake, as needed for pH balance. The body uses those oxygen and hydrogen molecules to normalize the pH of all the clear fluids. Energizing your water with the right supplement can help many people achieve pH balance within 4 to 10 weeks.


Drinking alkaline water is another way to push the body into a more alkaline range. This method should be used sparingly, as the stomach needs to be acidic to properly digest foods and break down nutrients for assimilation.

What helps to achieve pH balance faster?

Enjoy plenty of fresh organic fruits and vegetables, fresh air, sunshine, healthy physical activity, and restful sleep. Deep breathing can also improve relaxation which benefits the pH balance of the body very quickly.

Is there anything I should avoid to help with pH balance?

Yes, here’s a list of things you may want to reduce or avoid that cause ongoing acidity in the human body: coffee, tobacco, alcohol, black tea, carbonated beverages, refined sugar (white table sugar, artificial sugars, high fructose corn syrup), and unresolved stress. If you aren’t getting into the good pH range, you may need to adjust a few habits.
