• water

• herbal tea.

A perfect ratio of acid pH daily is 80% alkaline and 20% acid in the form of grains. eggs and acidic fruits.

pH Values Of Different Drinks

• A popular brand of cola — 2.5. It takes 32 glasses of a 10.0 pH alkaline water to neutralize one can of cola)
• Diet soft drinks —3.2
• Popular brand beer — 4.7 pH.
• Distilled water —7.0 pH.
• Filtered tap water — 8.4 pH.
• Fresh vegetable juice (greens) — 8.9 pH.
• Alkaline water — as high as 10.0 pH.

Blood with a pH value of 7.45 contains 64.9 % more oxygen than blood with a pH value of 7.3. An astounding difference for just a minor variance. Acidity of some soft drinks is caused by carbon dioxide, which is a waste product we breathe out. Carbonated beverages are a waste product, which the body rejects in the form of a burp. This is a double whammy. Not only do you shove a toxic residue down your throat when drinking them, these drinks are tilled with caramel coloring, phosphoric acid and ten tea­spoons of sugar, which creates more of an acid envi­ronment and wipes out your immune system for up to four hours.

Human Body pH Fluid Values

• Stomach juice (hydrochloric acid) — 1.5 pH.
• Skin —4.7 pH.
• Saliva —7.1 pH.
• The cell — 7.1 pH.
• Blood —7.35 to 7.45 pH.
• Pancreatic juice — 8.8 pH.
