What is potential for hydrogen?

pH is king in the world of alkalinity.  pH stands for the potential for hydrogen, and it is the way to measure our foods alkalinity.  For those who don’t know, alkaline is defined as:  of, relating to, containing, or having the properties of an alkali or alkali metal: basicespecially, of a solution: having a pH of more than 7, by Websters Dictionary.  For the sake of keeping this information simple and understandable, we will define it as being in harmony and in balance with your body.  It has been said that:

A disease cannot take root in a body when the pH is balanced.

When the body is in harmony it maintains a pH balance between 7.35 and 7.45, meaning if we were to measure the fluids in our body, we would be balanced.  Those who are skeptics would argue that eating alkaline foods have no effect on our pH, but no one can deny that eating foods that are alkaline are a healthy option.   So even the skeptics will be healthier from eating foods that are in harmony with their body.

We can measure our pH through our bodily fluids (blood, urine) and tissues.  It is measured on a scale from 0 to 14, and 7 is the neutral point, anything below 7 is acidic, and anything above 7 is alkaline.  Alkaline foods are measured on this same scale, and this is also what determines what foods are acidic, and what foods are alkaline.  Each individual food has it’s on level acid and alkalinity.  The higher the number on the pH scale, the higher the level of alkalinity.

Alkaline Diet is also known as the alkaline ash diet

When our bodies take in food, it has acid or alkaline properties. After it is digested, those foods leave behind an ash.  To make it easily understandable, think of it like the ash and soot that is left behind from wood in a fireplace.   In the case of food, it leaving behind an ash that is either acidic or alkaline.  Acidic ash contains:  phosphorus, chloride, iron or sulfur minerals, and alkaline ash contained: potassium, magnesium, calcium, or sodium.  It is our dietary choices that determine rather the body will receive minerals that are acidic or alkaline.

pH of blood and urine

The most common way to measure pH is to test urine with pH strips, but to be clear urine is not a very good indicator of your pH balance.   The pH balance in urine fluctuates with the food we eat, but the pH balance in our blood is regulated by systems that keep our pH balanced.  If our blood responded in the same way as our urine we would be in a world of trouble.   A few hours after eating pizza our blood would be acidic, and we would be on the brink of death, so lucky for us our blood pH is regulated and remains constant.

What foods can you eat

Foods that are emphasized in the alkaline diet, come from the earth.  These foods include fruits, vegetables, lagunes, and nuts.  Here you will find a list of foods to eat that are alkaline
