For testing urine, let some urine flow beforetesting as this will give more of anaverage reading.It is also a good idea totest 2-3 times in a day in order to get anaverage, as first thing in the morning thebody has retained fluids over a long periodof time and it will engage in differentprocesses to remove acid wastes from thebody throughout the day (depending onactivity and diet).Why the Differences and Fluctuations?The reason that there is such a differencebetween your urine and saliva readings isthat a) your mouth is more likely to containacidic bacteria throughout the day (if youbrush your teeth it will show a very highalkaline reading due to the toothpaste sothere is not much of a way around this)and b) because your urine is more of areflection of the processes the body is undertakingto remove acid from the body.Both of these are therefore subject tofluctuations. I would recommend takingthe average of several readings to gain abigger picture of your progress rather thanconcentrating on each reading in isolation.A reading of anywhere between 6.75-7.0+is excellent for saliva as the saliva tendsto be slightly more acidic. For the urine, aslightly higher pH level of 7.5 upwards isgreat, but remember that due to the kidneysprocessing of toxins throughout theday, the urine can give a more erratic reading.To put all of this into perspective, someonewho eats a typical Western diet wouldbe more likely to have a saliva pH averageof about 5.5-6.0. This may not seemtoo much lower, however it is important toremember that the pH scale is logarithmic– meaning each step is ten times the previousi.e. 4.5 is 10 times more acidic than5.5 which is 100 times more acidic than6.5 and so on.Remember:Testing the pH of your saliva or urine isonly going to give you a general trend. Unfortunately,there is no way of determiningthe EXACT pH of the blood without undergoinga live blood analysis. However, theycan give a good indication – so test, test,test and take the average and then followthis trend over time noticing the differenceany changes in your diet can make.15QUESTION 9: Can I become too alkaline?Basically, yes, you can become over-alkaline,of course. This is very, very difficult toachieve! Your body is constantly creatingacids in it’s daily workings, which is whywe need to focus on eating 80/20 alkalinefoods to help to neutralise these acids. Weobviously make things worse by eating anddrinking acidic forming substances too.But if we did manage to eat SO alkalinethat your cells and body fluids went above7.365 then your body would simply bufferthis to regulate you back down to the correctpH.The effect on your body would be similarto that if you were too acid. And given that99% of us are too acid 99% of the time(yet we are still walking and functioning ashumans!) then I don’t think it would havetoo much of an effect on us. You’d probablyfeel pretty similar to how you do rightnow.Plus it would be pretty short lived as, like Imentioned, the body does create acids all ofthe time, so you’d soon be neutralised!the top ten alkaline diet questions
QUESTION 10: Can I Still Eat Meat & Be Alkaline?16This is a very important question for some,and the good news is that no you don’thave to give up meat completely if youwant to be alkaline.This is where the alkaline diet and paleodiet meet!In fact, the alkaline diet and paleo arepractically identical except for the inclusionof lots of meat on the paleo approach.(I actually jokingly refer to the Paleo Dietas Alkaline + A Little Meat)So if you want to be both alkaline ANDpaleo, just follow this simple rule for yourmeat consumption:Eat meat sparingly, maybe cut down to2-3 times per week, and go for quality overquantity.Remember, my approach to the alkalinediet is all about making it easy, enjoyableand stress free. It is about making it somethingyou can do with your eyes closed, onauto-pilot if you will.And if the thought of giving up any particularthing is scary for you - don’t give it up!Start slow, keep it in there as a treat andjust slowly transition away from it, a bitmore each week, until you feel it’s totally inyour ‘treat’ bucket, and under control.— Don’t try to be perfect from day one!Make meat the side show instead of thestar of the show. Rather than quantity, gofor quality. Spend the same amount ofmoney on your serve of meat but buy thehighest quality you can. The portion willbe smaller, but more enjoyable for you andmore nutrient-rich (higher quality).alkaline diet questions
