What does it mean to “Alkalize” your body? Well, it’s the opposite of having your system be Acidic. Remember those litmus papers from high school lab? You can actually use those to test our urine or saliva to see what your pH level is. We ideally want to score at least in the 6-7 range because this means we are not too acidic (which can lead to health problems).
What causes an acidic pH level?
These foods, for starters:
coffee
meat
dairy
beer
aspartame
chocolate
vinegar
soda
What creates an alkaline level?:
leafy greens
lemons (tricky because before entering your body they are acidic)
olive oil
most fruits and vegetables
herbal teas
fish
Why is it bad to have an acidic pH level? (Or: Why is it good to be Base?)
It is now known that a more alkaline pH level is most desirable in order to loose weight and keep it off, and to ward off disease. Obesity is actually linked to an acidic pH level. This is because acid is a waste product of our body after it uses energy. If we are fueling our body with acidic foods and liquids, we can not get rid of it properly and the acid builds up as fat.

I have been drinking it for a month now and have already lost 8 lbs.! I also feel better and have seem to have detoxed alot of acid from my body! Ill check in with her and direct her to the site so she can post a message about it!
