When I think of pH balance I think of science lab, test strips, and funky smelling women’s issues. To be honest, I’ve never really taken into consideration its overall effect on my body’s health. If you are like me you probably have no idea what your body’s pH is and whether it’s good or bad. Thanks to teaming up with Multiforce I’m going to speed you up on this topic and give you some tips on how to balance your body’s pH- the right way!
What Is A Good Body pH?
Things I learned way back in high school and college biology classes have mostly been wiped from my brain. Unless I found them interesting which apparently pH balance didn’t rank high on my scale. Bummer! According to the Mind Body Green:
A pH less than 7 is said to be acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline. Our ideal pH is slightly alkaline – 7.30 to 7.45.
Unfortunately, a lot of tasty foods and drinks that many of us like cause acid-forming chemicals in our bodies.
What Affects Our Body’s pH Balance?
Food and Drinks
Do you drink coffee every morning? Or have to have a bedtime dessert? It’s just a fact of life, most foods and drinks can affect our pH level, especially if you are big into processed foods. It’s hard not to be with the go-go lifestyle most of us have.
Here’s a list of the biggies:
- coffee
- sodas
- salty snacks
- sweet desserts
- dairy products
- animal proteins
- processed dinners
- low sugar cereals
Am I the only one screaming “Noooo!” to most of these?
Exercise
Yes, something as healthy as exercising can even be bad for you to some extent. Working out can build up your stamina and muscles while toning everything else but it also increases your lactic acid levels. Uh, oh!
With foods, drinks, and exercising working against us you may be wondering, “How in the world do I balance my body’s pH?”
Balancing Your Body’s pH The Right Way
As you’ve learned, many of our bad habits and lifestyle can do a doozy on our body’s pH balance – thank goodness for Multiforce! Multiforce is an all-natural, alkaline powder that can bring your body back into balance.
Its special blend of Potassium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, and Calcium counteract acidic diets and regulates your body’s pH. These acid-reducing minerals work together, to make you less acidic (preventing and controlling excess acidity), in turn, making you feel healthier!
Multiforce comes in two great flavors – lemon (my favorite!) and mango. There is also an unflavored version if you prefer to have no taste at all., but I NEED flavor.
It’s easy to use too – just mix a teaspoon of Multiforce with 6-8oz of water and drink at bedtime. Easy, peasy!
I like to have mine on ice in a wine glass. Let’s face it, drinking anything out of a wine glass just tastes better. If nothing else, you’ll feel a little fancy while improving your health. Mom win!
I haven’t noticed any bad side effects. Other supplements tend to give me an upset stomach but I haven’t noticed anything bad with Multiforce. I think it tastes pretty good too!
Other Ways To Balance Your pH
- Add lemon juice to your foods – they are actually alkalizing!
- Eat more green and root vegetables – can help detoxify and increase calcium absorption
- Sub vegetable protein for some animal proteins – swapping out red meat reduces your acidity intake
What Are Symptoms Of Over Acidity?
Did you know drinking a glass of milk and eating a banana can help you with acid formation and pH balance?Click To TweetDo you have a go-go lifestyle that causes you to eat a lot of no-no foods? Or maybe you are “good” and just an exercise fanatic.

5 Incredible Reasons Why You Should Try Therapy
I try and maintain my health with eating correctly. I also do yoga and acupuncture and walking.
I’ve always been curious about acupuncture. What does it do exactly?
i try to keep my body balanced by walking whenever I can, eat well and eat organic, drink more water, just try to reduce stress as much as possible
I really need to try to drink more water. It’s so hard for me, though.
I have finally cut caffeine out of my diet and it is helping with a variety of issues.
This sounds like a supplement I would like to try.
I am not sure if I could get rid of caffeine completely. I don’t have too much – mainly coffee in the morning or green tea.
I keep my body in balance by taking vitamins twice daily. I also see a doctor regularly. Thanks for posting!
Seeing a doc regularly is a must!
I didn’t even realize I was supposed to be actively keeping my body in balance. I thought it did that automatically.
One would think but with how much we do things that are bad for us it becomes a struggle. Our body needs all the help it can get!
I bet I am a complete mess. All that stuff that effects your body I do.
There is no time like the present to fix it 🙂
I never really thought about this in the past. But it makes sense. Really all I have done in the past is exercise and trying to eat well. As a self employed stay at home dad it is pretty easy to maintain the meal plan but this could likely help too.
It’s worth a shot, right?
I haven’t balanced my body’s ph. Unfortunately everything I ingest is on the negative side. Five years ago I developed colon cancer. I would urge everyone to monitor their body’s ph balance.
I’m so sorry to hear that Buddy! I hope you are on the mend.
I’ve been limiting my caffeine. I’m also trying to make sure I get enough sleep.
Those are both great things to do!
This sounds like a product that I could and would need to use.

I want to check these out. I now am reminded that I had told myself I was going to try to have a diet that leaned toward alkaline, but totally forgot about it. This would help ensure it!!
Sounds like it would be perfect for you!
My daughter went to Weight Watchers. She was told by one of the members about using lemon 🍋 After I read that No – No list that I too was screaming “Noooo!” to most of these delicious addictions! Thank you for explaining what PH is! I shared on social media.
Most people probably associate pH with chemistry class but little do they know
I had no idea there was even such a thing as pH for the body. Very interesting….even if this is an older post!
Most don’t think about pH with the body but it is a very real thing
I’ve never thought of taking a powder to balance pH. It sounds like a great idea. Thanks for posting!
It’s a quicker way to get your pH in shape for sure
I don’t think people really realize that our PH being off just a little really effects our body negatively. I really enjoyed this article. Thank you so much for sharing
You are so right! I bet a lot of people don’t think about pH in the body
