By testing your pH with Växa's Litmus Paper
/ Medical pH-Test Strips, you can determine quickly and easily,
in the privacy of your own home, what your urine pH is. Växa's
Medical pH Test Strips determine your urinary pH, which is generally
a good indicator of how acid or base your total body pH is. When
urinary pH is continuously between 6.5 in the a.m. and 7.5 by
evening, you're functioning in a healthy range.
What's
An "Acidic pH"?
An acidic pH, or "acidosis," is the term used to describe
the imbalanced acidic condition of all our body fluids. Virtually
all cellular functions of the body are sensitive to the pH of
their fluids. If the pH deviates too far to the acid side, cells
become poisoned in their own toxic acidic wastes and die.
Which
Foods Are "Acid-Forming" And Which Ones Are "Base-Forming"?
Most high protein foods (such as meat, fish, poultry and eggs),
nearly all carbohydrates (including grains, breads, pastas) and
fats are "acid-forming." And most fruits and vegetables
are "base-forming." Although citrus fruits, such as
oranges and grapefruit, contain organic acids and may have an
acid taste, they are not acid forming when metabolized, leaving
no acidic residue. Similarly, Free-Form Amino Acids are not acid-forming,
but instead offer unique buffering capabilities to the body.
How
Do I Get Rid Of An "Acidic-pH"?
Watching your diet can help, especially by increasing the number
of fruits and vegetables you eat while decreasing the amounts
of acid-forming foods consumed. But an easier way is to take Växa's
Buffer-pH+ daily to help the body alkalize your system while continuing
to enjoy the foods you prefer!
