The New Wellness Test

As if you need to hear another reason to get your greens, but we’ve got one anyway: your body’s pH level. Never thought much about it? Well neither did we until a roll of litmus paper crossed our desks, courtesy of Genuine Health, the makers of Greens+. Turns out the more pH balanced our bodies are, the easier it is for us to avoid low energy and poor health. That means eating lots of alkalinizing foods like broccoli, spinach and kale and limited amounts of acidic foods like pastries, and certain meats and cheeses. Greens+ contains a balance of 23 recommended ingredients from both groups. Watch for our full story on body pH in the Winter issue of Wish. In the meantime, why not take Genuine Health’s 21-day challenge, and test your own pH level. For more information, visit genuinehealth.com.
