I never really considered testing my pH levels until I started hearing rumors about the growing popularity of the Alkaline Diet, made popular this year following claims from celebrities like Kelly Ripa and Elle Macpherson, proclaiming it's amazing life-changing results. Actually, before hearing about the Alkaline Diet, I honestly thought pH was only something tested in pool water!!
What is pH? Well, I could go into the long, drawn out, scientific explanation of pH that neither I nor many others completely understand, but I'll keep it basic in regard to what it relates to. pH (which stands for potential hydrogen) in the human body relates to the balance of acid/alkaline/oxygen in the blood. The bottom line, is that it's important to keep a healthy balance in order to maintain optimal health and reduce the risk of certain conditions like bone degeneration, arthritis, nerve conditions, etc. The ideal pH level for the human body is 7.0.
According to the instructions that accompanied my HealthyWiser pH strips, mornings are an ideal time to check pH balance. You can test using urine or saliva. Urine just seemed more of a "normal" way to test as far as I was concerned, so I took that route. My pH levels were ridiculously high, maxing out at the top of the scale. With that said, it encouraged me to look more into the Alkaline Diet, or other ways to create a healthy pH balance within my body, which, hopefully will result in feeling more healthy, less lethargic, and more productive.
I'm still in the exploration phase when it comes to learning about efforts I can make to create healthy pH levels, but I wouldn't be this far if not for the results provided by these strips. I'm very glad that I've received the opportunity to review these for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
