![]() Take The TestBalance is important in life. However, it’s essential to your body’s pH. But what is pH? And why is balancing it important? Your body fluids and tissue are made up of positively charged ions (acid-forming) and negatively charged ions (alkaline-forming). The ratio between these two is your pH (potential for Hydrogen) factor. Your pH is measured on a scale of 1 to 14, with pH 7 being neutral. To maintain good health, your body constantly works to keep a slightly alkaline pH. This often requires tapping into alkaline reserves found in your bones to offset the highly acidic average American diet. When your body is acidic it becomes vulnerable to serious health problems.
