Testing urine pH is a simple way to monitor the effects of your acid alkaline diet. It’s not absolutely necessary, but readings can help you tailor the acid alkaline diet to your needs. Testing daily, in the early morning, is advised. Remove one test strip or rip a three-inch piece off of the roll. Begin to void and release about two seconds worth of urine (the initial urine stream is more acidic from sitting in your body).
