Welcome to FeelGoodFood.com
We like to think of our on-line store as a place people can come to for answers, the pH resource for your personal journey to feeling great. Our pH strips and pH testing kit will help with the understanding of the body's acid to alkaline pH balance. The pH paper found in our Home Test pH Kit will teach you the pH scale and easily outline how eating a high alkaline diet will make you feel great. Learn how simply balancing alkaline-forming and acid-forming foods is easy, inexpensive and tastes great. Our pH kit with its easy to read pH strips will take the mystery out of pH balance. It's time for the biggest secret in well care to be revealed — pH testing!
Testing pH levels with pH strips is no more a gimmick than taking your temperature with a thermometer. It is a fact that blood pH much below or above 7.365 is rare. The reason for this is that blood alkalosis or blood acidosis is a very dangerous condition. By the time a person's blood is out of its narrow range they may be really, really, really sick. Just as once a person's temperature hits 107° or 108°, the situation is acute. The first thing a doctor does when you go for a check-up is to check your temperature, take your blood pressure, know your height, weight and ask what, if any, are your symptoms. Checking pH levels of both urine and saliva is just one more diagnostic tool you can easily and inexpensively use at home. Do you know your potential of Hydrogen or more simply put — pH?
For optimal health: Body temperature needs to be 98.6° F. Blood pressure needs to be 110/70 mmHg. Blood pH needs to be 7.365. And to make it all work urine and saliva pH needs to be 6.8 - 7.2. You probably own a thermometer and you get your blood pressure checked. But do you know your pH? If not — you should. See the connection between green and how you feel.
Learn how the SCIENCE of pH can help you:
Stop heartburn
Control blood sugar
Increase vitamin & mineral absorption
Easily manage weight
Naturally stop bone loss
Clear brain fog
Experience feeling better then you have in years
All this is possible by simply following your intake of alkaline-forming to acid-forming foods.
All fluids leaving our body serve the function of ridding the body of waste and toxins. If the toxic load coming into our personal ecosystem is too great, our first opportunity to be aware of a potentially dangerous situation is by checking the potential of Hydrogen levels of the fluids leaving through those mechanisms. Checking the pH of urine, for example, merely lets us know that a pre-condition exists. Just as slight fluctuations in temperature can let a woman know if she is ovulating, or how a slightly low temperature can signal weakened adrenal glands. What does that mean? It means quite a bit if you are trying to get or avoid pregnancy or suffering from thyroid issues.
Wouldn't you love to know if your body is setting up the perfect storm for a disease that could be prevented years before other symptoms present themselves? Will testing urine and saliva pH cure anything? Of course not. What checking pH levels will do is give you an opportunity to choose your path. No complicated diet or protocol, just common sense changes in diet and environmental habits. If life is about choice here is the perfect tool to help make positive choices.
This is where the "magic" of pH testing pays off. By easily and economically testing saliva after a meal you will know on the spot if the food or beverage just consumed is taking you closer to or further away from your goal of health and happiness. Checking urine first thing in the morning will be a clue, letting you know if your long range health may be in jeopardy. If you have ever visited a nursing home, I am sure you have questioned if just being alive is enough. Personally I will take quality over quantity. However, I do believe we can have both.
Will checking pH levels with pH strips reverse challenges you may already have? I don't know. But I do know that it won't hurt. And I do know that eating healthy never killed anyone. How can better vitamin and mineral absorption hurt? How can better regularity be a problem? When was the last time anyone complained about clear skin or strong bones and teeth or no more heartburn? Is anything going to make us live in this body forever? Once again — of course not. However, if life is about the journey, shouldn't feeling awesome be an important part?
Primum non nocere is a Latin phrase that means "First, do no harm." Nonmaleficence, which derives from the adage, is one of the principal rules that all medical students are taught in medical school and is a fundamental principle for emergency medical services around the world. Another way to say it is that "given an existing problem, it may be better to do nothing than to do something that risks causing more harm than good."1 These are principals I have always lived by. Before we go crazy with all sorts of wild "cures", doesn't it make more sense to correct the fundamentals for life: deep breathing, pure water, clean whole alkaline foods, non-toxic thoughts, sunshine, moderate daily exercise and a good night's sleep. For me, checking pH levels is like the white line on the highway, always letting you know when you have gone off of the path to your desired destination. Trust me, your body can't afford the stress of a lifetime of acid forming foods. The smart money is on quality of life not just quantity of years. Live life well and laugh often.
