How to Increase pH In Body

Some people might be wondering why you would want to raise pH in the body. Well its quite simple the higher the pH level in your body then your body gets rid of toxins a lot faster. So a higher pH level essentially means less toxins in your body which in turn makes you feel and be a healthier person. Just like a pool though there is a limit to how high the bodies pH level should be.

Average human pH levels should be between 6.4 and 7.5. Anything lower or higher indicates some chemical that is out of balance in your body and you should see a physician to get a diagnosis on the issue. So for a normal person I would suggest aiming for 7.3 or even 7.2 so you have some room.

Do you remember litmus paper from when you did those science expedients when you were in school? Yep we are going to use that very same paper with your saliva to see how acidic it is.

You should do the test 2 hours after you have eaten, this will ensure that the food you just ate doesn't interfere with the test and gives you a better average. Now before you do the test keep in mind that your pH will go up quite a bit right after eating, which is normal so  if it seems a little lower than you want its all normal.

Now dip the litmus paper in your saliva and check it for your pH level. You are probably in the 6.4 - 6.8 range, this is pretty much the normal rating. If you are lower than this than you have a possible chemical imbalance that you should talk with your doctor about.

pH is increased by simply eating foods that increase pH levels. While researching which foods have a positive impact on pH levels I found something very interesting was that nearly every single fruit, and vegetable significantly helped. So if you think about it your pH level is directly related to how well your diet is.

If you eat processed meats and sugars, you will have a low pH more than likely and become sick more often. However, with more fruits vegetables, and grains then the opposite occurs. It is entirely too simple if you think about it to increase your pH levels and yet at the same time a lot of people hate to hear the word diet. So make sure to not give up and actually stick with it so you can see the results for yourself.
