pH (Acid-Alkaline) TESTING Significance of your first morning urine pH and its proper measurement |
|
Your
first morning urine pH gives a good indicator of the body’s
mineral reserve and its acid/alkaline state. The body routinely
uses overnight rest time to excrete excess acids. This capacity
varies based on toxin load and individual ability to make energy,
to make toxins inactive, and to excrete them. |

How
does one monitor the pH? To test your pH follow these simple steps: |
|||||||||||||
| 1. |
Obtain
a packet or roll of pH Hydrion test paper with a test range of 5.5
to 8 from Thinking of You 1-800-806 8671 ($12.50 per roll including
shipping ~ 60 tests) |
|||||||||||||
| 2.
|
First
thing in the morning, just before your first urination, open the
test tape packet and cut off 2”-3” of the paper tape.
Now wet the test tape with urine. For best
results, a six to eight hour period of rest prior to pH testing
is needed. |
|||||||||||||
| 3. |
As
the tape is moistened with urine it will change color. The color
relates to the urine’s acid or alkaline state and ranges from
yellow to dark blue. Match the color of your test strip with the
color chart on back of the test tape packet. Do not wait 10 or more
minutes to match the results, just read it when it is moistened. |
|||||||||||||
| 4. |
Jot
down the number for your records that corresponds to the color of
the urine moistened tape has taken on to monitor over time. This
can be done daily or periodically based on your needs, as recommended
by your physician. |
