The first bite that starts the journey
When you put food on your fork (you actually start eating with your eyes before your mouth) you smell the lovely aroma, you then put the food in your mouth. During this very pleasant process your mouth begins to salivate. The salivary glands draw on the bloods alkaline reserves to bring your pH up to 7.0 – 7.2 ranges. This is the optimum performance for the enzyme amylase in the saliva. This enzyme begins digesting starch (if the body’s and livers alkaline reserves are low, you may find saliva pH staying below the 7.0 mark – this is even while eating. This is key to your ph status.)
