The acid-alkaline balance of the body is crucial to our overall health. Our bodies are constantly working hard to maintain an ideal pH level to balance our systems. You test your cholesterol and blood pressure, so now its time to see what’s happening on the INSIDE. pH is the most important measure of your overall health.
pH simply means the ‘potential of hydrogen’. It is the acid to alkaline ratio in gram equivalents per litre and is therefore a measure of your acid-alkaline balance. pH testing offers you a quick, inexpensive and easy way of measuring your overall acid-alkaline balance.
Using the EASYpH test kit you can easily check your urine or saliva pH to test your body’s acid-alkaline balance on a daily basis. Once you know where you are within the range, you can adapt your diet and take steps to correct your pH imbalance.
In a natural, healthy state, our bodies are slightly alkaline. This alkaline state is necessary for survival, and the body has developed complex mechanisms to ensure that this balance is maintained. Children are naturally alkaline, and are often able to cope well with eating an imbalanced diet. As we progress into our mature years, stressful lifestyles and poor eating habits mean that we become acidic and our bodies struggle to buffer the acid, leading to chronic acidity.
An imbalanced body pH can be at the root of many common symptoms such as constipation, poor digestion, aches and pains, heartburn, headaches, frequent colds, fatigue, and sleeplessness, to mention just a few.
