Do you know what your PH level is?
January 14th, 2008 | by askadmin |Your health is affected by your PH Level. Do you know what your PH level is? Do you even know what PH means? Do you care? Before my battle with cancer I didn’t have the foggiest idea what PH levels were. I didn’t really care. I used to brag that I could live on steak and potatoes for the rest of my life.
So what is PH? It simply stands for “potential for hydrogen.” A PH level is the amount of acidity or alkalinity of a substance in your body. Too little is bad and too much is bad. The optimal pH of the human body is between 7.35 and 7.45
PH levels below 7.35, can cause a condition called acidosis. PH levels above 7.can cause a condition called alkalosis
When I was diagnosed with cancer my PH level was low. Since overcoming cancer I have become very health conscious. I have learned that proper PH is an absolute requirement for good health. Proper PH levels can help increase energy. It can also benefit patients with any number of diseases, including cancer.
Cancer and other diseases are dependent on an acidic, low oxygen environment for survival. Had my PH level not been low could I have avoided cancer? I don’t know. I do know that I should have paid attention to things like healthy diets and eating foods that help maintain proper and safe PH levels.
I am researching what foods will help raise you PH level if needed, what foods will lower your PH level and what foods are recommended for maintaining a good PH level. I will publish that list when it is completed.
The body is an amazing thing. It tries to balance the overall PH. in our bodies. If we are not helping our body with the proper diet, the result can be too much acid or alkali in one part of the body and not enough in another. What should you do if your pH is not where it should be? You can do this by eating foods that increase or decrease our bodies’ pH levels. As I mentioned, I am researching what foods will help raise you PH level and what foods will lower your PH level and will publish it soon.
In the meantime you need to know what your PH level is. Your doctor can perform blood pH tests. Most local pharmacies sell test kits where you can test your pH at home. You can also get a free test kit online.
