If your overall contribution limit is $5,000, and you put $2,000 in a traditional IRA and $4,000 in a Roth IRA, you've contributed $1,000 too much. The IRS does not allow you to choose which contribution to fix.
Your urine pH readings. For directions on how to test your urine, go to pH strips. After you've tested, come back here to see what your results mean. Healthy urine pH should fall between 6.5 and 7.25. This means that your body has plenty of alkalizing mineral reserves and it is processing acids effectively. If your pH reads 6.25 or 6.5, it means that your body is a little overwhelmed with excess acid. This is easily remedied by shifting your diet slightly toward more alkaline foods.
The good news is that you can easily test your pH levels at home. Just head to your local drugstore or online retailer and pick up a pack of pH test strips. You can test your pH levels often throughout the day, but try to do so at the same time each morning, as your body will be more acidic the earlier you measure. The goal is to get your morning urine pH between 6.5 and 7.5. For saliva, your pH should be similar to your urine.
