Do you know your body pH level? You should. Most people would have no idea how to answer this question. Yet, if they have a swimming pool, they could likely tell you its pH which is maintained at an ideal level. The standard medical book Human Physiology and Mechanisms of Disease regards body pH (or acid-alkaline balance) as most important.

ll fluids in the human body operate at a particularly particular and optimal pH level. Our bodies continuously work to keep the pH at the right balanced level. When cells are alkaline they are described as 'anabolic' which involves a building process.

An unbalance in the body's pH level forces the body to borrow minerals—including
