What is ph level of body

A ph value is a number from 1 to 14, with 7 as the middle (neutral) point.â value below 7 indicate acidity which increases as the number decreases, 1 being the most acidic. Values above 7 indicate alkalinity which increases as the number increases, 14 being the most alkaline

Just like different substance, different parts of the humanâ body have different ph levels. Your ideal blood ph is between 7.35 and 7.45, which is slightly alkaline. The stomach is typically at a ph of 3.5, which helps food break down properly.

A ph of 0 indicates a high level of acidity. 
A ph of 7 is neutral.
A ph of 14 is the most basic, or alkaline. 

So to maintain ph of our body, we should consume foods like, green vegetables, fruits, oatmeal. &more water.
