Diet-induced, chronic low-grade metabolic acidosis damages bone.
The Better Bones Better Body pH Test Kit is a great way to test
if your current diet leaves you in low-grade metabolic acidosis,
or if it provides for an internal alkaline balance favorable to
bone health. This favorable balance is produced what we call an
"Alkaline Diet".
An alkaline diet is important for optimum bone health. Just as
acid rain in the environment damages our external ecosystem, so
does internal acidity damage our internal ecosystem. Without knowing
it, most of us consume diets high in metabolically acid-forming
foods. This results in chronic, low-grade acidosis. Precious alkali
salts of bone building minerals must be taken from bone and used
for buffering these internal acids. Because of this, we encourage
an alkaline diet high in foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts,
spices, herbs, seasoning, seeds and pulses such as lentils. To
learn more about this topic please visit our Alkaline
For Life section.
Our pH strips are a great way to test each morning to see if
your diet is metabolically acid metabolically alkaline. Our pH
papers come in one long continuous strip that you tear off each
morning and dip into your urine to determine your acid alkaline
balance. If used as recommended each pH paper will last between
1 to 2 months.
In addition to the pH paper, each kit includes also literature
explaining the importance of alkaline diet, how to optimize your
biochemistry, the acid / alkaline balance food chart, meals suggestions
for alkaline diet and selected articles on pH and bone health.
Also included in the kit is the Rethinking
Osteoporosis Audio Tape.
