Your ph balance could be affecting your sleep

How balanced is your ph? Most people are not aware of their ph balance, however keeping a balanced ph is essential for health. What does ph have to do with anything? Well, maintaining the body’s acid/alkaline balance for one, can improve your sleep and energy levels. More importantly it will help you avoid disease and illness, and help you maintain a healthy body weight, as well as aid digestion and your metabolism.

Eating a well balanced diet is essential in keeping your ph balanced. It is recommended to eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables to help maintain your ph balance. However, avoid too much dairy products, white foods such as white sugar, white flour and white rice, and animal foods such as meat, fish and poultry.

It’s frightening to know that an overly acidic body can cause degenerative diseases such as heart disease, cancer, arthritis, kidney, gall stones and osteoporosis. An overly acidic body lacks oxygen and is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and viruses.

You can buy ph paper from a pharmacist. To test your ph, place some of your saliva on a piece of ph paper. Ensure that you have waited at least 2 hours after eating and that your saliva is clean. Your ph should be a healthy 7.4, if it is not you can redo the test 2 hours later to check. Once you have determined your ph, you can begin to take steps to correct it.
