The way to determine body pH is to measure the pH of your first urine in the morning, then measure the pH of your saliva first thing in the morning before you have eaten or drank anything. Then add the numbers together and divide by 2 to get the average. That average can be considered a close approximation of body pH. As Garnet pointed out, pH taken after eating or drinking only measures the pH of the food just consumed.

I would think that the water we drink is mostly what effects our PH as we drink much more water than we intake food. One can alter ones PH quickly by raising the PH of the water one drinks. There is an interesting article here: http://www.altcancer.com/hydrox.htm on pH.
