      <description><![CDATA[I did not realize it would be so easy to test acid/alkali in the body, and that one can do this by just taking a single ph strip and using saliva first thing in the morning, or, a sample of your urine taken from your second bathroom trip of the day. 

Is there a reason why it is the second trip that it is recommended but the first saliva? Also, should those two readings be consistent or might they differ and that difference between the two of the reasons say something that is important for health? Sorry if I am looking into this too much or overthinking it; I just want to try this myself and to first resolve any issue I might run into testing it as I like to have multiple measures for the same thing to have faith in it. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello Rachel, 
Indeed, that's a great point and thank you for sharing. Our bodies fight hard to create the perfect pH for good health, but the pH levels of the foods we consume can affect your teeth's health.

      <description><![CDATA[Interesting read overall! I think that testing saliva makes the most sense rather than testing the urine because saliva pH has a very real effect on oral cavity health: too acidic pHs can erode enamel or at the least reduce the rate at which enamel remineralizes, thus contributing to dental decay over time. Saliva is actually super mineral rich and if it is healthy saliva with the right pH, it can really support a healthy smile! :D Thank you for another good read, NN; I am rereading this one and it was still a nice read :)]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Thanks for so much help. I have bone loss and rheumatoid arthritis for years and because of hard life of working 16 hrs a day ate anything that came in hand to keep pushing the body and I just see the results now. I buy a lot of nutritional supplements but don’t know if they were right. Now I will pay attention and follow the suggestions of yours and the book that put me to this level. Thanks I know I will make progress for I do not want to go bad to worst.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello, L.D,
Thank you for sharing, glad to hear you found something natural that helps. A few tweaks in your diet can make big improvements, consuming more alkalizing foods is a great place to start considering a typical Western diet is very acidic.

      <description><![CDATA[Hello, Rachel, 

Thank you for your comment. Yes, some acidic foods can be alkalizing to the body. It's important people have a balance of both and help keep your body at its optimal pH level that it works very hard to stay at. Unfortunately the average Western diet is very acidic so incorporating alkalizing food items can help.

      <description><![CDATA[I hear an alkalizing diet being discussed a lot in wellness media. A common misconception is that alkalizing foods are alkaline. One underappreciated aspect of pH is its effect on dental health: too much lemon (not alkaline but alkalizing) or any other acidic food, for that matter, can damage enamel which erodes under pH 4.5. Greens powders, which you strongly recommend, tend to be around neutral pH (unlike most foods, which lean towards acidity), and are amazingly alkalizing by commonly used metrics such as PRAL. Overall, minimizing acid and acid production by diet can be benficial for holistic health.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello, Rose With Thorns, 

Indeed, your body's ph level is very important and it works very hard to keep it at its optimal level. Unfortunately different foods are more acidic and cause your body to work harder to keep its optimal ph level. If your body becomes too acidic, that's where disease can thrive. We're glad this article taught you new information about your health and thank you for sharing your thoughts.
