INDICATORS OF ACID-ALKALINE BALANCE OF URINE IN STUDENTS OF FZFV DURING LENT

Abstract

Excretory system of a person corresponds not only to withdraw from the body excess fluid and toxins, but also provides a normal acid-alkaline balance. PH may fluctuate depending on the characteristics of the metabolism. In a healthy person, the reaction of urine ranges from slightly acid to neutral.
Purpose of the study: to show whether the indicators of acid-alkaline urine balance will change when the diet during Lent.
Methods and materials: analysis of literary sources, testing with indicator litmus tapes, development of diet.
The course of research and discussion of results: a single urinalysis does not allow to accurately assess the state of the body. To perform quality diagnostics and get the most accurate results, the pH test should be performed three consecutive days, three times a day. This study was conducted at the UzhNU Higher School of Economics among students of the Faculty of Health and Physical Education. We examined 10 4th year students, 1997-1998, 5 of them girls and 5 boys.
Prospects for further research: in the future it is possible to investigate the acid-base balance of the oral cavity.
Conclusions. The result of the study is a result that makes it possible to understand that in fact, what we eat depends on the state of acid-base balance of our body. The control group, which tested the urine pH for a month without changing the nutrition, eventually obtained a pH with a slop in the acidic direction. The experimental (the same group of students) also controlled urine pH during the Lent period, but at the same time the diet and the products that acidified the body were excluded from it. As a result, we see that the pH has shifted towards a neutral medium. This indicator gives an idea of the work of the whole organism as a whole and its individual systems.
