“Our body is an alkaline entity by design…” Blood                     7.35 – 7.45 slightly alkaline Spinal fluid             7.30 – 7.50 Saliva                     6.50 -7.50 Gastric                   1.00 – 3.50 Duodenum             4.20 – 8.20 Feces                     4.60 – 8.40 Urine                      4.80 – 8.40 Liver Bile                7.10 – 8.50 Gall Bladder Bile     5.50 – 7.70 Pancreas                8.00 -8.30 These fluctuations of pH of our organs are alkaline by design. For instance throughout the holidays we tend to over indulge in processed foods, sugars, meats, and alcohol which are all acid producing. Acid leaches minerals that are stored in our bones, muscles, and elsewhere; blood levels of minerals also rise and the excess may be deposited in the kidneys in the form of stones. Primarily the respiratory system and kidneys maintain control over the pH of the body. Yogic deep breathing alkalinizes the body by getting rid of excess carbon dioxide (co2). And one the kidneys’ jobs are to prevent metabolic acidosis, which is does by pulling potassium, magnesium, calcium, and trace minerals from our bones and other tissues to buffer the acidity. Again the fluctuations of pH of our organs are by design; to keep something else from going over-stressing our system to the point of disaster. In fact, if blood pH goes outside of the range of 6.8 to 8.6 for more than a few seconds, coma and/or death will result. These fluctuations are built-in to prevent this from happening. It is important to drink enough water to cleanse our internal system.
