PH Balance

A relative of mine told me that she had read an article about the effects of having a higher than normal PH balance in the body. She said that she had stopped drinking sodas and began taking the pills and was losing about 1 1/2 pounds a day;now this got me interested. I went to a health food store and talked to an employee who recommended a some supplements that came with testing strips. The body is suppose to have a PH balance that ranges to 6.8 to 7.5. I have cut back on sodas a lot but I have been unable to completely kick the habit. I used a testing strip last night and my PH balance was higher than it should be so I began taking the supplement. I will try to cut back on soda even more. We'll see how it goes.
