Balancing the pH In Your Body 
An important part of keeping yourself healthy
physically is balancing the pH in your body. PH is the
"potential of Hydrogen" - the measure of acidity or
alkalinity in the blood, fluids, and tissues in your body. PH is
measured on a scale of 0-14 with a pH of 7 being neutral. A
measure below 7 is considered acidic and a measure above 7 is
considered alkaline.
A pH between 7.36 and 7.44, what is considered slightly
alkaline, is normal and most healthy for your body. Unfortunately,
many people have a pH measure which is not balanced and is
dangerously acidic. When pH measures are too low, many health
problems can occur including cancer, osteoporosis, weight gain,
arthritis, heart disease, kidney and gallstones, and neurological
diseases.
If your pH measures even slightly acidic, it's important
to put it back in proper balance. It's easy to test your body
pH with pH test strips that can be bought over the counter. If
you find that your body's pH is too acidic, an easy first step
to try to balance it by drinking alkaline water and eating alkaline
food.
Alkaline water is ionized water that helps rids the body of
acidic waste and toxins. By replacing your everyday drinking and
cooking water with alkaline water, it's possible to begin the
process of pH balancing your body. Xooma Worldwide Xtreme x2o

Alkaline
food is food that is naturally alkalizing - no change or additives
are needed to make them alkaline. Vegetable is a main
source of alkaline, including many of the vegetables the
people commonly eat daily such as onions, green beans, peas,
celery, carrots, and tomatoes. Fruits, including apples, bananas,
cantaloupes, lemons, peaches, and raisins are also high in
alkaline. Other foods that are alkalizing are almonds, chestnuts,
millet, cinnamon, ginger, mustard and most herbs.
By adding alkaline water and foods
to your daily diet, you can improve the pH balance in
your body and improve your chances of fighting off
illness and
diseases.
