How Can You Tell if You Have "Acidic pH?"
By testing urinary pH you can easily tell that you are functioning in a healthy range if the reading is continuously between 6.5 in the morning and 7.5 at night.

What is "Acidic pH?"
"Acidosis," or acidic pH, describes an unbalanced acid condition of the body’s fluids. Nearly all of the body’s cellular functions respond to their fluid’s pH. If the pH becomes too acidic, the body’s cells can become toxic and die.

Choosing Foods: Which Are "Acid-Forming" And Which Ones Are "Base-Forming?"
Acid forming foods include meat, poultry and fish which are high in protein, as well as breads, pastas and grains and other carbohydrates. Conversely, most fruits and vegetables are "base-forming." Citrus fruits like grapefruit and oranges do contain organic acids and may have an acrid taste but do not form acid when they are metabolized. Free-Form Amino Acids, likewise, do not form acid and are beneficial in providing buffering capabilities to the body.

How Can I Balance "Acidic-pH?"
Monitoring your diet is beneficial, particularly by decreasing the amount of acid-forming foods you eat and increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables you consume. Supplements such as Växa's  Buffer-pH+ can help you to continue eating the foods you enjoy.
