Alkalize for health
How alkaline your blood is, is an easy way to measure the level of your health. A
healthy person has a blood pH of 7.365. Generally, a person who is terminal ill has
a pH of around 5 or lower.
What Are Alkaline, Acid And PH?
Alkaline foods are foods that raise the the amount of oxygen that your blood takes
in. The most alkalizing foods are RAW green leafy vegetables, non-sweet fruits and
(wheat) grasses. The opposite of alkaline foods are acid foods.
How much oxygen your blood can absorb is measured on a pH scale that ranges from 0 to
- A pH of 0 is most acidic while a pH of 14 is most alkaline.
