An alkaline diet is essential for natural 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 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.

Our pH strips are a great way to test each morning to see if your diet is acid or alkaline. Our pH papers come rolled 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 roll will last between 1 to 2 months.
