Your Body's PH

For optimal health our body likes to sit slightly alkaline,  however most of us are too acidic.  When we eat our food is digested and what is left is a ash residue thats either acidic or alkaline.  If acidic its elimated through our skin, intestines, kidneys, or lungs.  Most of us are acidic and our bodys try and rid of this by neturalizing the acid with oxygen, and minerals found in food, like vegetables or herbs.  If these are avaliable then our PH is balanced, its important to stay alkaline for many health reasons, people who have consisitant inflamation, will benefit from changing there PH,  acidity causes inflamation.  Stress, anxiety, and sleeplessness can also product too much acidity.
"The body fluids of healthy people are slightly alkaline while the same fluids of those who are sick range from s lightly to extremely acidic. The degree of acidity significantly affects the body’s ability to prevent
and/ or reverse illness and disease , including such degenerative diseases as cancer, diabetes, heart disease , and osteoporosis . I highly recommend that in order to avoid disease and premature aging, the body should remain in a s lightly alkaline condition." - Suggested by Sam Graci.
If you were to drink one glass of pop, you would have to drink 32 glasses of water with a ph of 7.0 to eliminate the bad effects.  
If you want to start seeing how acidic your body maybe and learn how to correct it and balance your PH, its actually pretty simple.  You can buy PH strips, and in the morning before anything using your urine or siliva,  to get a reading, do not put the paper in your mouth to get the reading =)  It will then change color and you have your answer, you can keep track of it for a month to see how it changes.  Ideally in the morning your urine PH should be between 6.8 and 7.4. And siliva 6.6-6.8.
Any number below 7 means your too acidic where as 7 indicates neutral.
There is also a connection between your mental state and PH.  People who are more alkaline have a better out look on life, score higher on IQ tests.  People who are sick or have cancer or other disease, its important for them to keep alkaline, which protects their cells, where and acidic body will destroy them. 
There is a link at the bottom, it has a great chart that you can print and put on your fridge, I fold mine in half or draw a line down the 7.0 so its a clear indication of which foods are acidic and which are alkaline.  If you eat something acidic from the chart you can choose a food in the same chart whether its low med or high to neutralize it.
