acid and alkaline

soooo i see us drinking ph water but we need to track where are ph levels are in our bodies this is easy, any natural food store has ph strips or just look around in different places i hear walmart even has em lol.Please remember cancer, parasites survive, dis-ease survive in a acidic body.
 Enzymedica pH-Strips - 132 tests

here is what one of em looks like, all you do is insert it right in your mouth get it nice and wet take it out and match the colors. Now from the mouth we want it between 6.4- 7 this is slightly acid to neutral.It tells us if the food is getting broken down to rapidly and this cause food to release energy to fast and your body cat absorb it and cannot be applied to the organs  =too acid, or having a hard time breaking food down puts stress on your organs  =too alkaline. thru the urine we want it the same way, diarrhea, bad odor is a indication that our ph is acidic, slow digestion, constipation can be a indication that your ph is too alkaline, so we want it balanced like nature around us.

  What we eat plays a major roll in how are bodily ph below is a chart that i found a year ago and i use this as a guide to track how much acid or alkaline food i ate.

Although it might seem that citrus fruits would have an acidifying effect on the body, the citric acid they contain actually has an alkalinizing effect in the system.

Note that a food's acid or alkaline forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so, lemons are alkaline forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion, but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid forming.
