Saliva & Urine pHs
The first morning urine test, while being a valid test, takes greater discretion to sort out the results because you are unloading the previous days "metabolic debt", or those acids you accumulated through the previous day. By testing your urine and saliva pH either just before lunch or just before dinner, ideally it will have been at least 2 hours since you have eaten any food. This will be an easier test to discern what the numbers are showing. Urine: Simply hold the test strip in your urine stream for a second and read against the color chart. If the chart goes from 6 to 6.5 and it’s somewhere in between, make a guess and say 6.3 or wherever you think it lands. Saliva: Try not to drink or have anything in your mouth for 20 minutes before testing, and wait at least 2 hours after eating. Just bring up a little saliva between your lips and run the test strip through the saliva. Read against the chart right away. With urine, it is not as important to read against the chart right away. But with saliva, the Co2 in your saliva will out-gas and that reading will often rise the longer you wait to read it.
