How Do I Know
If I Have An "Acidic pH"?
By testing your pH with Vaxa’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. Vaxa’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 Vaxa’s Buffer-pH+
(Click here for information), daily to help the body alkalize your
system while continuing to enjoy the foods you prefer!
