Checking your urine may not be a very pleasant task. But doing so can give you information about your own acid/alkaline balance. It gives information about your healthy ratio of acid/alkaline-forming foods and how your acid/alkaline balance changes with your monthly cycle, stress or other factors in your life.

Measuring your acid-base balance at home is done easily by collecting all urine produced in 24 hours. You will want to start with your second urine of the first day through the first urine of the next day. You can use the plastic water bottles you have sitting around that are not safe for storing drinking water anyway. Shake the total collection a few times, then simply dip in some pH paper and read it. Don’t be afraid –test your urine; it’s sterile! My source recommends pHydrion paper by Micro Essential Laboratory, Inc, in Brooklyn, NY (phone 718-338-3618; fax 718-692-4491). The range is from 5.5 to 8.0.

Generally pH range from 6.3 to 7.2 is within a safe range.

It is also good to check saliva pH. It is believed that saliva pH is an indicator of alkaline reserve in the body and the condition of the pH of the cells. A saliva pH of 6.8 to 7.2 taken before breakfast and before meals is considered normal. It should become more alkaline after meals, possibly around pH 7.2.

Some research indicates that if your pH before breakfast is below 6.2, it suggests an acid system with an inadequate amount of alkaline minerals, but with some alkaline reserve. After a meal, if the saliva pH is between 5.5 and 5.8 with no rise in pH, it means the body is extremely acid with no alkaline reserves left.

Although more research is being done on the question of optimal body pH, possibly the best way to tell if one is functioning at the best pH is to watch for the following characteristics.

Indicators of Optimal pH Function
1. Good energy
2. A calm nervous and muscle system
3. Bowels are moving regularly with effective digestion
4. Don’t catch colds or flu
5. General good feeling of physical, mental and spiritual vitality and clarity.

There has been a lot of talk recently about acid /alkaline imbalance.  The experts can help us by recommending how we correct this imbalance.

What is the problem with Acid/Alkaline Balance?  Your body functions at its best when it is in
balance, when it is not too acidic or too alkaline.  The unfortunate thing is that almost all of us are acidic due to our diets, what we drink and the effect of stress from the pollution in our environment and psychologically.  When acids build up in our body it causes our systems to become out of balance.

What are the effects?  "Acid wastes build up in the body in the form of cholesterol, gallstones, kidney stones, arterial plaque, urates, phosphates and sulfates. These acidic waste products are the direct cause of premature aging and the onset of chronic disease," According to Dr. Stefan Kuprowsky.  What the body does to restore its optimal pH balance is it depletes minerals like potassium, calcium and magnesium from the organs and bones.  This may cause your immune system to become fatigued from handling an excess of acid. Your body will store acidic wastes in your body like your muscles and fat rather than releasing the acidic waste into the bloodstream.
  
Just about every condition I can think of, from arthritis to diabetes to cancer, is associated with acidity," notes Dr. Robert Atkins, the well known author, health and diet expert.  "The countless names of illnesses do not really matter.  What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause…too much tissue acid waste in the body!", says Theodore A. Baroody, ND, Ph.D.

What can be done about this?  Massive research about this reveals that you can take some simple steps to help neutralize acid build-up in the blood and maintain a balanced pH.  Simple steps you can take are:
 
* Exercise
* Avoiding highly acid-forming food and drink
* Drinking the right water

What is the "right" water?  According to Dr. Leonard Horowitz in "Aids and Ebola", "International studies show that populations with little or no history of illness, such as cancer, drink higher pH (alkaline) waters. After all potential risk factors were considered and factored out, it became evident that they had been drinking waters with a pH of 9.0 to 10.0." 

Alkaline ionized water "first came to notice in Japan, where researchers noted that people drinking water that came from certain fast- moving rocky mountain streams enjoyed extraordinarily good health. It turned out that this naturally occurring water was alkaline and had a different structure and electrical properties." Larry Clapp, PhD. in "Prostate Health in 90 days"

Alkaline ionized water was used in hospitals in Japan.  It was noticed that patients were   experiencing marked health improvements and were released from the hospital and sent home.  After a short time the patients had reoccurences and were re-admitted to the hospital.
 
Alkaline ionized water can now be produced at home with a small kitchen unit called the Enagic SD501, which has been in long use in Japan.  More and more health professionals have had the opportunity to evaluate the effects of Alkaline water ionizers on clients due to the fact that Alkaline water ionizers have become popular in North America and Canada:
   
We can "assist the body in being more alkaline with …drinking alkaline water." writes   Sue Pollock, N.D.

In "Alkalize or Die", Dr. T. Baroody writes, "It is my opinion that ionized water will change the way in which all health practitioners and the public approach their health in the coming years." 

"I believe that the best water is water that is alkaline (reduced) and purified using a small device known as a water ionizer." (Dr. Stefan Kuprowsky)

Well why not just rely on a change of diet, you may ask?  Researcher and author of "Reverse Aging", Sang Whang says that the danger is we might omit important foods from our diet:

"Since the waste products that we are trying to discharge are acidic, the right kind of water is alkaline water…My personal recommendation is to enjoy the foods that we like, but do not over-eat or exclude any food. Eat in moderation following the professional dieticians' "balanced diet" concept, and let alkaline water do the job of cleansing acidic wastes."

The best and highest grade of Alkaline Ionized water for your acid/alkaline balance is Kangen Water produced from Enagic's SD501 unit.

At the first mention of acidity and alkalinity, eyes glaze over. After all, these terms sound somewhat scientific, and vague memories of junior high science class and litmus paper changing color may come to mind. However, thebalance between acidity and alkalinity, and its importance, can be explained quite simply and should be explained. This balance is essential to good health.

When your body accumulates an excessive amount of acid, you are at risk for arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. If you already suffer from one of these diseases, high acidity will intensify your inflammation, soft tissue degeneration and bone loss.

A highly acidic pH prevents the body from functioning properly. The presence of acid waste makes it increasingly difficult for cells to absorb the fuel they need. Vital body systems like the immune system start to malfunction. The result is increased inflammation and soft tissue degeneration. Acids are also solidified and deposited throughout the body, leading to bone loss.

The longer you wait to reduce your body’s acidity, the longer you remain at risk for arthritis and related illnesses.

THE RISK

Arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia are autoimmune diseases. They are the result of

When the body is too acidic as a result of acid forming foods, high fat, mucus forming foods, and toxic food residues, disease and infections proliferate. This is especially true in cases of arthritis and rheumatic situations.

Most foods are alkaline by nature, but manufactured processed foods are acidic. It is important to balance each meal with 75% alkaline to 25% acidic to maintain health.Perfect body pH is 6.4, above is alkaline and below is acidic. It is important that your daily dietary intake of food naturally balances your body pH.
   
A Universal diet does not exist. People are individual and personal. So what works for one person may not work for the next. A balanced diet is unique for each person. To find balance, it is helpful to know not only your own personal needs, but the correct preparation of whole foods, how not to overeat, how to choose high-quality foods, avoiding too many unnatural food combinations, and the art of learning the broad range of nutritious foods including chlorophyll-rich plants, the best source of certain fatty acids, and the dangers of food chemicals like aspartame, MSG, and food colorings.

Excess Acid Affects Many Individuals

Maintaining the internal body’s proper pH level really is not difficult. A proper diet and moderate exercise is all the body needs to help keep pH levels in balance. Unfortunately, few people living in the industrialized nations eat right and exercise regularly. As a result, today’s growing acidification problem stems from the way we in the Western world live our lives.

Consumption of too many acidifying foods such as sugars, proteins and cereal products is the biggest problem. Excessive consumption of stimulants with high acidity levels including coffee, tea, tobacco and even alcohol compounds the problem. What further worsens the situation is that consumption of alkaline foods such as vegetables that help neutralize acids is way down.

Stress, pressure, time constraints, and nervousness, which many of us cannot escape, all have an impact on the body’s ability to function normally. As a result, these too significantly increase the already high acid levels inside the body. Add to this the fact that people seem no longer capable of exercising in moderation. They either don’t exercise at all or they exercise excessively. Both further increase acid levels.

Food still is by far the factor that has the biggest impact on acid levels. For most people, excess acid levels can be brought back into balance simply by adjusting the diet so that more alkaline foods are consumed. Simply put, alkaline neutralizes acids.

For a small group, however, correcting acidification is not so easy. In addition to a sedentary lifestyle and making the wrong food choices,
