The value of measuring pH levels
pH is the measurement of the acidity or alkalinity in a substance.
Measuring this in ourselves is a useful indicator of future health levels. Whilst we maintain pH at the optimum level our health is likely to be good. Let it vere away from that optimum and we are likely to have health challenges.
The pH level of 7.0 is neutral. Any figure lower than 7.0 is acidic and anything higher than 7.0 is alkaline. We operate most efficiently in a slightly alkaline environment and the body maintains our blood at around 7.3. If that varies by more than about 0.2 either way we will die.
A few thousand years ago when we lived in harmony with nature we did not need to concern ourselves about pH levels as our lifestyles and environment in most cases naturally created the conditions that led to the appropriate pH levels within the body.
Unfortunately over time we have adopted habits that have taken us away from this harmony with nature and for many of us it has resulted in an acidic internal environment which the body is constantly attempting to neutralise. This movement away from nature has increased over time exponentially and in the 21st Century it has for many people become a really serious issue which is undermining our health.
Whilst the pH level of the blood is maintained at around 7.3, the pH levels of the other systems of the body vary considerably. For optimum health our saliva needs to be slightly acidic (around 6.5 - 6.75) in order to start the digestion process and the urine is likely to be around 6.5 to 6.8, as it carries away the excess acidic waste products. The more we move away from those figures the more we are putting stress on our systems and making it difficult for the body to mainatain the appropriate level of 7.3 for the blood. People with serious illnesses such as cancer often show pH levels as low as 4.0 in their saliva or urine.
The 3 things which are perhaps the most significant in their influence on our pH levels are Toxins, Stress and correct Diet. Using the Ultimate Far infrared sauna www.theultimatesauna.co.uk on a regular basis will dramatically reduce the first of these three as well as help reduce the second, which helps make it so much easier for the body to maintain optimum levels.
Knowing what our levels are is like knowing how well or ill we are likely to be in the near future.
If we maintain our bodies at the optimum pH level it is hard to get ill!
