Litmus Paper - Single Roll Dispenser 15 ft
- Easy to administer, litmus paper test.
- Evaluate your first urine in the morning.
- Monitor your body balance.
You could be missing out on better health. It is important to use litmus paper to find out whether you are acid or alkaline.Most people who eat a typical American diet are overly acid. Many who think they are eating the right kinds of food are also over acid. By using litmus paper you are able to adjust your diet and supplement program on a regular basis to continue to build your health and prevent illness.
Benefits of using this Litmus test daily:
- An acid condition indicates that you are heading toward illness. Now you can see where you are and correct it.
- An acid condition shows that your overall mineral level is low. If you are acidic or continue to be, this will give you the ability to know that you need to increase your green vegetables.
-
There is a risk of bone loss when overly acidic. Now you will be able to see if you are in an acid state and adjust your diet to build good healthy bones.
- Your energy level will often increase as your body comes
into the healthier alkaline range.
Your body pH is something you must not ignore if you wish to maintain perfect health, regain lost immunity, or maintain proper weight. The farther from perfect balance your pH travels, the more serious health problems may develop and the more difficult it may be to maintain proper weight.
You should maintain a pH of 6.4 to get maximum energy out of the food you eat and to prevent chronic disease. Any deviation from 6.4, either higher or lower, may create a sharp energy loss, emotional imbalances, and a depressed immune system.
When the body is too acidic as a result of acid forming foods, high fat, mucus forming foods, and toxic food residues, disease and infections proliferate. This is especially true in cases of arthritis and rheumatic situations. The human body should be slightly alkaline in order to build an alkaline reserve for acid-forming conditions such as stress, lack of exercise, or poor dietary habits.
Most foods are alkaline by nature, but manufactured processed foods are acidic. It is important to balance each meal with 75% alkaline to 25% acidic to maintain health. Perfect body pH is 6.4, above is alkaline and below is acidic. It is important that your daily dietary intake of food naturally balances your body pH.
The acid and alkaline balance can be changed by simple practices such as:
- Soak mildly acid-forming foods such as whole grains and legumes before cooking them, starting the sprouting process, which is alkalizing.
- Chew thoroughly the complex carbohydrates as grains, vegetables, and legumes in order to mix them with salvia, a very alkaline fluid that begins the digestive process.
- Do not drink while eating, as this stops the digestive process from beginning within the mouth.
The correct ratio of acid and alkaline forming foods is difficult to know since the balance is altered by chewing, food preparation, individual lifestyle, genetics, exercise, and mental outlook. However, those prone to infections, viruses, excess mucus problems and other toxic acidic conditions need to increase their alkaline diet.
Hyperacidic tendencies and symptoms include gastric problems, constipation or diarrhea, candida, cravings for certain foods, allergies, ulcers (also bacteria related), cold sores, herpes, arthritis, rheumatic conditions, parasites, insomnia, headaches and migraines, water retention, bladder infections, teeth sensitivity, burning sensations, hypotension, stress, asthma, and skin disorders of all types.
These are alkaline producing foods for excess acidity:Uma Boshi Plum paste ( make a soup or tea); Miso soup; avocados; pure maple syrup; honey; molasses; most fresh fruits (except cranberry, plums and prunes), sprouts, cereal grasses, herbs, tomatoes, vinegar, lemons, eggplant, millet, dates and corn. There are a variety of books available to assist in determining which foods are best suited for your particular needs.
Acid-forming examples: Meats, fish, poultry, eggs, most dairy (milk is approximately neutral in acid/alkaline but high in mucus-forming attributes such as fat.)most grains and legumes (millet and roasted buckwheat are slightly alkalizing. Soy and lima beans are extremely alkalizing.)refined sugars, drugs,& food chemicals.
