Why Should I Be Concerned About My pH Levels?
Since most of the body is water-based (making up 50-60% of our total body weight), the pH level has profound effects on all body chemistry, health and disease. An imbalanced pH describes the pH level of the body when it becomes too acidic or too alkaline for long periods of time. Extended pH imbalances of any kind are not well tolerated by the body. Indeed, the management of "pH" is so important that the body has developed strict accounting procedures to monitor acid-alkaline balances in every cell. Fundamentally, all regulatory mechanisms (including breathing, circulation, digestion, hormonal production, etc.) serve the purpose of balancing pH, by removing caustic metabolized acid residues from body tissues without damaging living cells. If the pH deviates too far to the acid side or too far to the alkaline side, cells become poisoned by their own toxic waste and die.

What Is "pH"?
The body is largely made up of water, which transported oxygen and nutrients to every tissue organ and cell. This fluid can have either acid or alkaline properties which are measured by a graduated scale called pH (for "potential hydrogen"), wherein 1.0 to 6.9 is considered acidic, 7.0 is neutral, and 7.1 to 14.0 is alkaline. The lower the pH number, the greater the acidity, and the higher the pH number, the greater the alkalinity.

Is An Imbalanced Body pH Really That Dangerous?
Yes, indeed it is! An imbalanced pH continuously corrodes all body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of our veins and arteries like rusty clogged pipes.  An imbalanced pH interferes with all chemical reactions in your cells affecting life itself!

Can An Imbalanced pH Cause Serious Problems?
Yes, especially as a person grows older! Although it may generally go unnoticed and undetected for years, an imbalanced pH (either consistently too acid or alkaline) leads to the progression of most, if not all, degenerative diseases including Cardiovascular Disease (the #1 killer in the U.S.), Cancer (the #2 Killer in the U.S.), and Diabetes, as well the newest epidemic of obesity.

Which Foods Are "Acid-Forming" And Which Ones Are "Alkaline-Forming"?
Most high protein foods (such as meat, fish, poultry and eggs), nearly all carbohydrates (including grains, breads and pastas) and fats are "acid-forming." And most fruits and vegetables are "alkaline-forming." Although citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruit, contain organic acids and may have an acid taste, they are not acid-forming when metabolized, leaving no acidic residue. Similarly, Free Form Amino Acids are not acid-forming, but instead offer unique buffering capabilities to the body to help offset acidic wastes.

How Can I Find Out My Body pH?
By testing your pH with pH paper available at the Ross Life Center. You can determine quickly and easily, in the privacy of your own home, what your pH is.  This simple pH-Test determines your saliva and urinary pH, which is generally a good indicator of how acid or alkaline your total body pH is. When urinary pH is continuously between 6.5 in the A.M. and 7.5 by evening, you're functioning in a healthy range; When continuously above this range you're too alkaline, and when continuously below it, you're too acid.

How Do I Rebalance My pH?
Watching your diet can help. If you're too acid, increase the number of fruits and vegetables you eat. If you're too alkaline, increase the amounts of acid-forming foods consumed.

How Does pH MAX Work?
pH MAX is an advanced formula of two minerals cesium and rubidium  which work to safely and effectively balance an overly acid system by buffering overly acid residues and removing them from your body, as well as helping to dissolve toxic laden plaque. This allows tissues to be cleansed, and then healed naturally and more quickly, by the body.

Cesium and rubidium both have the potential to significantly alter the response to how the electricity works in controlling acids ionic imbalance. In particular, they stimulate the excretion of monovalent, as opposed to divalent cations in pH regulation.  The consequence is improved pH regulation, and a diminished tendency to excrete calcium in pH regulation, so cesium and rubidium are expected to act synergistically with calcium in a dietary supplement. Furthermore, they promote the process of clearing of excess sodium, which lowers blood pressure assisting those with hypertension.

When food is metabolized and broken down in the body, it leaves certain residues which yield either alkaline or acidic potentials of pH. These residues appear to most strongly influence body pH levels and can lead to serious health problems, weight gain, poor athletic performance, low energy levels and premature aging if continuously too acidic or too alkaline.

What's An "Acidic pH"?
An acidic pH, or "acidosis," is the term used to describe the imbalanced acidic condition of all our body fluids. Virtually all cellular functions of the body are sensitive to the pH of their fluids. If the pH deviates too far to the acid side, cells become poisoned in their own toxic acidic wastes and die.

Ph MAX is a simple solution by taking just one small pill that safely works to re-establish a more neutral pH to your cells.
