Today I was browsing the booklet that comes with pH test strips.

Inside there is a very enlightening pH zone chart. The chart points to the optimal range of pH to be between 6.75 and 7.25.

This is where like to keep my body at all times. I really prefer it to be above 7.0. That where my wellness seems to thrive  best.

Keep in mind these numbers are for urine and saliva testing.

The blood always needs to maintain a blood pH range between 7.35 and 7.45. The body cannot stray to for from this range at all, or serious problems will result

We don't need to test our blood to get a good idea of the bodies pH range. Urine and saliva testing will give us a pretty good picture of what is going on in the body. Urine and saliva can vary a lot more than the blood.

Testing often helps to ensure we stay on track with a health building regime. Whenever I stray too far, for too long into poor eating habits, it begins to show up in my pH reading. And my energy level. Usually this is when I reach for extra enzymes and get down more alkaline water. They help give me a boost back to the right path.
