Is Your pH too Acidic?

---

Have you been feeling off-colour? Suffering from headaches, insomnia and lack of energy? These are just some of the symptoms you may experience if your body’s pH balance is out of balance.

Too much acidity can also cause depression, frequent infections, sensitive teeth, gastritis, brittle nails, dry skin, leg cramps, and those annoying little ulcers on your tongue.

The ideal pH level for our people is around 7.0 to 7.4 but, due to the acidic food we eat nowadays, and stress, many of us are falling way below that.

• To test urine- people:

Test the first and second urine of the day and record the average reading. To test, briefly place pH Test Strips into the urine stream, shake the excess fluid and wait 15 seconds to read your pH.

• To test saliva -people:

Wait two hours after eating. Spit saliva onto a spoon, dip the pH strip into the fluid and wait 15 seconds to read your saliva pH.

• To test urine – Pets:

No need to catch them mid-stream as this can be messy! The easiest way is to keep an eye out and when you see your dog, cat or horse peeing outside, dip the pH strip into the wet grass to take the reading.

• Results for people:

A reading of 7.0+ is acidic and below 6.0 is very acidic. Test 2-3 times per day at first then daily once pH balance is optimised to the optimal range.

Danger pH level 4.5 5.75 or 7.5 9.0, Concern for pH level 6.0 6.5, Optimal pH level 6.75 7.4

• Results for dogs:

Dogs living on a natural diet generally produce urine pH between 6.0 to 7.0. Ideal is 6.5 to 7.0. Urine pH above 7.0 may increase the risk of crystallization.

• Results for cats:

Cats should normally have a urine pH around 6.0 to 6.5. Alkaline urine is not ideal for cats and can lead to crystal formation and urinary issues.

pH strips are also available as part of our Calm Healthy Horses Starter Pack.
