The Acid - Alkaline PH Scale
As you can see from the chart above the PH Scale is read from left to right with a PH rating of 0 – 1 being purely acidic (something akin to eating a hole through metal). On the other end of the scale is a rating of 14 which represents pure alkalinity (these would include items like baking soda and lye). In the center is 7 which represents neutral.
In a perfect state your blood wants to be more alkaline than acidic. Just as the average healthy body premature for a human is 98.6F – the ideal (healthy) PH level for the human body is between 7.3 – 7.4.
In his groundbreaking book, “Sick and Tired”, Dr. Robert O. Young chronicled how the proper PH balance provides for a “healthy inner terrain” and how the improper PH balance can lead to illness and disease.
Over the next few days I will offer simple examples of foods and drinks that will help you move towards alkalinity and I will also share with you foods and drinks that create an acidic environment. I will also show you simple methods that you can use to test your own PH levels.
Remember, health is a journey…it is not a destination.
Yours In Health!
