How to Naturally Alkalize Your Body

    • 1). The Acid Alkaline Test

      Before we assume your body needs to be alkalized, we need to mention that there is a test to determine the acid/alkaline state of your body. Litmus paper, which is widely available at health food stores, will tell you your exact pH level. You may remember litmus paper from testing acidity in school.

      Tear off a small strip of the paper and place it under your tongue for a few seconds. The normal pH level for saliva is between 7.0 and 7.4. Numbers below this are acidic. Number above this are alkaline. Litmus paper comes with a color coded chart to determine the numeric pH level depending on the color the paper turns. Match up your paper with the color coded chart.
