The Saliva pH test serves as a valuable gauge for assessing the abundance of alkaline minerals stored in the body’s tissues. These essential minerals, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron, and various trace elements, act as a reserve to counteract oral acidity. Swift mobilization of these alkaline minerals to the mouth helps neutralize acids, preventing the infiltration of harmful bacteria, viruses, and yeast. The maintenance of slightly alkaline body fluids, around a pH of 7.4, becomes crucial for resisting disease development, including necrotic tissue.
For optimal accuracy, it is recommended to observe a two-hour fasting period before conducting the test. Multiple testings enhance the comprehensive understanding of the body’s mineral reserves.
The body’s alkaline mineral reserve is directly influenced by the dietary intake of alkaline and acid-forming foods. A prevalence of acid-forming foods depletes the mineral reserve. Moreover, mental, emotional, and physical stresses exert a more substantial depleting effect than dietary choices. In essence, dietary habits, emotions, and thoughts collectively shape one’s overall well-being.
80% Alkaline Forming Foods
All raw fruits, including tomato and avocado. Exceptions: blueberries, cranberries, plums, prunes, and sulfured dried fruits

Sea salt
Lemons and watermelons are the most alkaline-forming foods.
20% Acid forming foods
All grains, except amaranth, millet, quinoa, and fresh corn
All dried beans and peas (Exceptions: limas, adzuki and soy)
All meat, poultry, fish and seafood
All refined sugar. (Adding sugar to food increases its acidity)
Alcoholic and soft drinks
Coffee
Black tea
Egg whites
Vinegar (white, distilled)
Tobacco
Most bottled salad dressings

Upholding proper body chemistry involves maintaining a recommended dietary ratio of 80% alkaline-forming to 20% acid-forming. This balance ensures an ample alkaline mineral reserve, containing calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and trace minerals that regulate food pH. Acidic toxins deplete these reserves stored in various body tissues, impairing biological efficiency and challenging overall wellness.
Stressful emotions, such as unresolved anger, fear, and worry, elevate acid-forming toxins within the body. Alternatively, the emotions of love, kindness, empathy, and joy create an alkaline environment in the body tissue.
You are more than a biochemical process, healing encompasses the body, mind, soul, and spirit.
