Acid/Base Balance pH Test Tape The term pH represents the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration and reflects acidity and alkalinity. The p stands for potential and H stands for Hydrogen--the potential of the solution to attract Hydrogen ions. pH values are to acid and alkaline what temperature degrees are to heat and cold. Body pH refers to the pH of the fluids inside and outside of the cells. Since most of the body is water-based, the pH level has profound effects on all body chemistry, health and disease. Extended pH imbalances of any kind are not well tolerated by the body. Fundamentally, all regulatory mechanisms (including breathing, circulation, digestion, hormonal production, etc.) serve the purpose of balancing pH by removing caustic metabolized acid residues from the body tissues without damaging living cells. If the pH deviates too far to the acid side or too far to the alkaline side, cells become poisoned by their own toxic waste and die. Just as acid rain can destroy a forest and alkaline wastes can pollute a lake, an imbalanced pH continuously corrodes all body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of our veins and arteries like corrosives eating into marble. If left unchecked, an imbalanced pH will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing of your brain. Although it may generally go unnoticed and undetected for years, an imbalanced pH can lead to the progression of most, if not all, degenerative diseases including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes, as well as the never ending frustration of excessive systemic weight gain. youtu.be/7c3AVj66ahg?t=45s
