The pH Test Strip Advantage
After
reading about the many benefits of having a balanced body
pH and the complications of an unbalanced one, you may be
wondering, “How can I test my body pH levels?”
Well, thankfully there is an easy and inexpensive way to
quickly figure out whether your body’s environment
is acidic, basic, or perfectly neutral: a pH test strip.
Usually
made of plastic or paper, a pH test strip measures the pH
of your saliva, urine, or another bodily fluid to get a
close estimate of your overall body pH. Once exposed to
the fluid, the pH test strip changes colors to reveal your
body pH. Easy-to-use, a quality pH test strip comes with
a color-coded chart. Once your pH test strip changes color,
simply match it to the corresponding color on the chart
to find out your body pH. Although blood pH is the best
indicator of health, saliva and urine are usually quite
accurate in telling cellular pH. A pH test strip that utilizes
urinary pH is one of the most accurate. However, many test
strips can be used to test urinary pH or salivary pH. If
you choose to test the pH of your saliva, do not eat for
2 hours prior to the test to avoid throwing off the results.
