anyone else hear that part of Randy Couture's longevity in the ring is partially based on his monitoring his body's PH balance? there is a brief mention of it by UFC commentators when he fights Chuck the first time or it could have been when he beat Tito. anyway, its an interesting idea that may have some real value. here is a link. its to a health food website but it gives a basic outline of an Acidic vs. Alkaline balance in the body.

I have heard a great deal about this.. but I am too tired to even hit the toilet at 100% accuracy when I get up in the morning, let alone give myself a ph test right then.

i don't think spitting on a strip of papar is too much to ask. however having read that cola and other carbonated drinks contribute heavily to an acidic body i'd have to eat bottles of that stuff to get into the alkaline range. i'd have to see more scientific research about body Ph before i jump on the bandwagon.

spitting? try urinating!

it says urinating?!?! i thought i read something about saliva.....oh well. yeah, that'd be tough to piss on a strip of paper first thing in the AM.
