Do you have an excess of acid or alkali, causing the pH of your blood to be out of balance?

When it comes to staying healthy, having your blood tested is an excellent way to ensure everything is going smoothly. Your blood is an important indicator of your overall health. Doctors can examine your red and white blood cell count, nutrient, vitamin, mineral levels, and your blood's overall pH to gauge your body's health.
