Product Description

Product Description

pH is a measure of acidity and alkalinity. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. At pH 7, the half way point, there is a balance between acidity and alkalinity. Such a solution is neutral. The principles of pH begin with a definition of the term pH. The p comes from the word power. The H, of course is the symbol for the element of hydrogen. Together, the term pH means the hydrion ion exponent. Test your pH with this convenient dispenser containing a 15-foot roll of pH litmus paper. The dispenser includes a color chart to determine your pH value. The body pH value tells you how acidic or alkaline your body is, and balancing your body pH is essential for a healthy body and a major line of defense against sickness and disease. Your body works hard to maintain a balanced pH because that allows its systems to operate more efficiently and effectively. Imbalance, on the other hand, leads to obesity, fatigue, premature aging and other health problems. To maintain a balanced pH, your body pulls certain minerals, such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, from its tissues to neutralize acids in the blood. If it cant do that successfully, it will dump the acids into various organs, which causes health problems. You can help your body neutralize acids in the blood and maintain a balanced pH by taking some simple steps, like eating the right foods and exercising. There are a variety of ways to determine your body's pH, the most accurate of which is to find the pH value of your blood using a pH meter. However, that can be impractical since it would require drawing blood and purchasing a special meter. A more practical and inexpensive method is to find the pH level of your urine using litmus paper. But, since your urine pH varies with what you eat, you should measure your pH after fasting for at least 12 hours, or when you get up in the morning before you exercise, eat or drink anything.

5.0 out of 5 stars good product highly recommended, May 29, 2007

I check my number every day and this little ph strip is a wonder. It really lets me know from day to day or morning to evening how my alkaline diet is doing or not doing. I can tell what foods really work and what foods really need to be avoided. I just put it into my mouth for a second or two and check. I know websites say you need a blood test or such to be 100% accurate on one's ph but this little gauge does a good job from a day to day level in giving me a good idea how good I am doing or how poorly I am doing. If I eat something strong in corn syrup sweetener (example pumpkin pie or some fruit juices) my number the next day or later that evening has dropped. This is an excellent way to help anyone realize how they are doing with the alkaline diet or how badly they are acid. Cancer cannot live in an alkaline body so I am really interested in making sure I keep a strong alkaline body with my veggies, fruit, and beans--the natural diet. The processed diet of packaged "foods", high processed juices, and strong corn based diets is a one way ticket to the acid body and acid reflux problems and a future life heading toward cancer, the end product of an acid diet. So I will continue to buy these strips. I'm always elated to see my numbers in the 8 and higher colors; those cultures with alkaline water as a lifestyle have body ph's of 8+ and have no cancer and live healthy lifestyles well into their 90's disease free. So that is my goal. This summer marks my first year of being strong alkaline and my body behaves so much different than other years of my life. It is an amazing difference from the high acid diet I used to life on. These strips have made it very clear what works and what doesn't and cued me when I didn't eat right and what the price tag was or would be eventually. The differences in how my body works and behaves now is incredible for the diet changes made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, June 8, 2009

By	killthebananas (PA) - See all my reviews

I've never tried any other brand of ph strips so I really have nothing to compare to but these little things are great. I really like that you can choose your own size. I use a tiny little square about an hour after every meal (like another reviewer said) to see how what I previously ingested affects my alkalinity. Also test the first pee of the day (they say that's the most accurate representation of your alkalinity). It's kind of fun experimenting to see which foods make you more alkaline and more acidic (although it's kind of a no-brainer of you know your nutrition).

The fact that it is a roll and not a bunch of paper sticks was my sell point. I feel like I'm getting more bang for my buck. It also comes with a replacement roll which I think is really nice too. But if your anything like me and use the smallest piece possible you probably won't need that second roll for quite a while.
