Different areas of the body have different normal pH values.

For example the stomach is supposed to be very acidic, but the small intestine is alkaline.

Saliva and urine are commonly used for a quick and easy way to test pH in the body.

If you test both urine and saliva first thing in the morning, it can give you a good overall picture of your alkaline/acid balance in the body.

The saliva should typically be slightly alkaline, 7.0 or better. Urine on the other hand is normally acidic in the morning. This is because your body has worked hard all night to get rid of acid in the body and is ready to expel it in the urine when you wake up.

So testing both urine and saliva can give you a better picture of pH levels and how well be body is getting rid of excess acids.

My thoughts…

You are correct. First morning urine is always more acidic. As long as the body is getting rid of acid while they are sleeping.

• kidneys
• Respiration
• Mineral buffering from digestion of food

All this happens while a person is snoozing. Or at least that is how it is supposed to work.

That way on your  trip to the moring bathroom, you are getting rid of acids the body has been working to eliminate all night long.

That would make first morning urine more acidic than that of the general body fluids.
