pH- Oh my!!!

pH is a whole new world for me. The first pH test I ever had was a few months ago when I threw my back out. I started going to a holistic chiropractor that a friend of mine referred. At the first appointment he does a battery of tests to see how your body is reacting or not-reacting to stressors. My saliva pH test was very gloomy; my pH should have shown that my body was starting to digest when a stressor was introduced, but it showed the opposite. My emotions had taken such a toll on my health that my digestion was slowed down because as he stated, who needs to eat when they are running for their life. Being in the constant state of fight or flight was making me sick! Ugh! Great things were done after that initial visit and now my pH is actually on track! WooHoo!! For the pH experiment we had to do for my nutrition class my urine pH levels were in the optimal range throughout the day! The minor fixes in my diet and the MAJOR fixes in my emotional states have definitely made me a healthier person! I am sleeping better, my moods are stable, and my bowel movements are working well! Next step for me is to do the 2 day pH challenge. For that you need to eat a lot of protein and acidic foods for 2 days and on the 3rd morning test your pH to see how your alkaline reserves are doing! That will be a definite test to see if I’m truly on the right nutritional path!
