Okay, please hang with me just a bit longer as I give a bit more info on the powerful impact that the pH level in our body has on our overall health. I know it can get a bit boring or technical---I apologize for that---The 'rest of the story' (effective ways to promote an alkaline environment) is coming tomorrow!
Major take-home point: Virtually all degenerative diseases including cancer, heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, kidney and gall stones, and tooth decay are associated with excess acidity in the body. Cancer cannot exist in an alkaline environment. All forms of arthritis are associated with excess acidity. Acid in the body dissolves both teeth and bones.
The body has a homeostatic (regulatory) mechnaism that maintains a constant pH of 7.4 in the blood by depositing and withdrawing acid and alkaline minerals from bones, soft tissues, body fluids and saliva. This can cause the pH of these tissues to fluctuate greatly. The pH of your saliva provides an overall look at the pH of your body. While there can be a wide range of pH values for the saliva and urine, the value for the blood is maintained within narrow bounds.
pH of Various Body Tissues:
Skeletal muscle 6.9 - 7.2
Heart 7.0 - 7.4
Liver 7.2
Brain 7.1
Blood 7.35 - 7.45
Saliva 6.0 - 7.4
Urine 4.5 - 8.0
Biology class dismissed. :o) Thanks for hanging in there---This is powerful information!
Be Well...
Sana

I love alkaline water. I just bought a machine from www.thinkalkaline.com. They were great in price and were super helpful with more information similar to yours. I recommend alkaline water to everybody. I'm glad you enjoy it too.
