Hi! I was wondering how to find the PH of my own body. I sm inspired by your story,Julie, as I have suffered with a ruptured disc for over a year and a half now. I am a professional modern dancer and truly hope to find a way to dance onstage again!
Thanks,
Loren
Loren, I recommend using pH tape or strips. Greens + has a roll usually alongside their products. You use the strips to test your urine thru the day to see the cycle of acidic nature that you are flushing thru. The more alkaline the better especially for your 2nd urine of the day. The first is the flush from yesterdays intake and the 2nd is more of a measure where you presently are at that given time. Alkaline water, alkalizing mineral salts like pHor salts and alkaline foods all contribute to creating an alkaline environment in the body and to help flush acidic nature and toxins, promoting a healthy alkaline lifestyle. Alkalizing heals the body and gives it what it needs to eliminate inflammation which will help to heal and reduce the pain of your disc. I believe you can improve your disc–your body was designed to heal itself provided you give it the tools it needs to do so!
Hi there Julie, thanks so much for your posts. I was wondering what a suitable alkaline pH range for urine is (that is, with an alkaline lifestyle)? Is anything above 7.5 appropriate? I have only just started my alkaline diet but am unsure how high a pH in urine is achievable/appropriate? Many thanks
Sylvia, yes you are quite close, anything over 7.2ish is a good place to be.
