Why Alkaline Water is so Popular

Proper health starts with the correct acid-alkaline balance in your body. The pH level (acid - alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. Extended acid imbalances of any kind can overwhelm your body, and lead to health complications.

Alkaline Water Just as the body regulates its temperature in a rigid manner, so will it manage to preserve a very narrow pH range - especially in the blood. As a matter of fact, the body will go to such great lengths to maintain a blood pH of 7.365 that it will even create stress on other tissues, body systems, and organs to do so. Chronic acidity will interrupt all cellular activities and functions - it interferes with life itself.

When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), we may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even more serious disorders.

The cycle of acidity begins primarily as a result of three things:

1. Ingesting acids. Eating too many acidifying foods like processed sugar, meats, dairy, coffee, alcohol, water, etc. Create an acid ash in the body. These acids can overload the body’s ability to neutralize them.

2. Creation of acids. Pathogens and microforms create acidifying toxins in the body. As the body becomes more and more acidic, bad bacteria, yeasts and other microforms proliferate in the body. Since these organisms are living, they eat as well as create resulting toxins. These toxins are often very acidifying.

3. Improper elimination of acids. Not all acids are the same; some are weak and some are strong. Weak acids like citric acid are much easier to neutralize than strong acids like uric acid. The body uses many systems in order to buffer acids including breath, mineral reserves, and fat. When the body’s buffering systems become compromised, excess acids build up.
The process of re-establishing acid-alkaline balance begins with proper diet and nutrition. This includes eating alkalizing foods (vegetables, low sugar fruits, etc.), super hydration (drinking plenty of alkaline water that is ionic and structured - small clusters), and proper supplementation.

Ideally, the water you drink should have a ph between 9 and 10, and you should be drinking 2-3 litres of it daily.
TAP, TANK and BOTTLED water is ACIDIC. They vary and you can test it - it takes seconds to do.

TEST YOUR ACIDITY

Test your saliva's pH and your urine's pH to determine if it is alkaline or acidic. An acidic body provides an atmosphere that cancer and other diseases can grow and thrive in. A reading of 7 is neutral. Numbers below 7 are acidic, and numbers above 7 are alkaline.

The pH ("parts of hydrogen") balance in the body is one of the most pertinent factors affecting the health of the body. The ideal pH of the body is indicated when the urine is 6.6 and the saliva is 7.4. These two pH's in the body, one intra cellular, the other extra cellular, must be kept in the proper range for the polarities of the body to be in the proper position for optimum electrical impulses. In other words, nitrogen and oxygen are at the ideal balance. Both pH values need to stay as far away from each other as possible. If both pH values meet, death occurs.

Healthy cells are aerobic, or oxygen breathing, and have a high pH (alkaline). Anaerobic cells are nitrogen breathing, cancerous cells, and they always have a very low pH (acidic). Therefore, having an alkaline body may help to prevent cancer. In addition, alkaline elements help break down fat in the body.

pH Balance begins with super hydration

Water is the most crucial factor in establishing and maintaining proper acid-alkaline balance. Since your body is 70% water, it is extremely important to constantly replenish your supply of it. The body loses 2.5 litres of water every day just through normal bodily functions. The quality of the water that you drink is just as important as the quantity of water you drink. The water you put in your body must be able to prevent toxins and chemical substances from accumulating and creating destructive influences on cells. Water must also transport minerals and nutrients required for cell metabolism, and remove any substances that can damage the cell.

So I remind you again...ideally, the water you drink should have a ph between 9 and 10, and you should be drinking 2-3 litres of it daily.

Remember that TAP, TANK and BOTTLED water is ACIDIC.

(Don't fool yourself by thinking that tank water is good quality drinking water, its extremely acidic if you live in or near a city) If you're on artesion water, test it also please, you don't know what treatment it goes through before you drink it.

In order to hydrate your body optimally, you need to drink water that is alkaline and mineralised.

Alkaline water helps to neutralize stored acids and toxins. Once these acids are neutralized, they can then be removed by the body. Alkaline water containing ionic minerals also acts as a conductor of electrochemical activity from cell to cell. Reports from studies suggest that ionized, alkaline water can help the body resist disease and slow aging by:

Increasing Intracellular Hydration
Replenishing Essential Minerals
Stabilizing and Protecting Cells
Helping To Maintain Normal Blood Flow and Acid Alkaline Balance
Flushing Out and Preventing Wastes from Accumulating in Cells
Preventing Free Radicals from Forming and Damaging Other Cells

When you team up quality alkaline water and chemical free water, you will very quickly see your body reverse in aging and immediately detoxify toxins, chemicals and pollutants. Pure alkaline water will help bring your body into an alkaline state, improving your ability to achieve perfect health and longevity.

Please stop drinking tap water now! It's full of nasties and it's hurting your insides!

It's amazing how much you start understanding (about why you get sick), when you know WHY you get sick. Toxins, acidity, dehydration, lack of essential vitamins and minerals, fatty acids, lack of deep delta sleep, etc are all reasons why illness can take hold and linger, or damage appears later on in life (it's like a rusting car...you may not see if from the outside, but until you poke and prod you then start to put holes in the body and the rust pops through!).

Why should we be concerned about pH levels?

It has been stated that, if the condition of our extra cellular fluids, especially the blood, becomes acidic, our physical condition will first manifest tiredness, proneness to catching colds, etc. When these fluids become more acidic, our condition then manifests pains and suffering such as headaches, chest pains, stomach aches, etc.

According to Keiichi Morishita in his Hidden Truth of Cancer, if the Blood develops a more acidic condition, then our body inevitably deposits these excess acidic substances in some area of the body such so that the blood will not be able to maintain an alkaline condition which causes these areas such as the cells to become acidic and lowers in oxygen. As this tendency continues, such areas increase in acidity and some cells die; then these dead cells themselves turn into acids.

However, some other cells may adapt in that environment. In other words, instead of dying - as normal cells do in an acid environment - some cells survive by becoming abnormal cells. These abnormal cells are called malignant cells. Malignant cells do not correspond with brain function or with our own DNS memory code. Your body's pH level is a large indicator of your alkalinity.

Why should we be concerned about pH levels? Since most of the body is water-based (50-60%), the pH level has profound effects on all body chemistry, health and disease. All regulatory mechanisms (including breathing, circulation, digestion, hormonal production) serve the purpose of balancing pH, by removing caustic metabolized acid residues from body tissues without damaging living cells. If the pH deviates too far to the acid side or too far to the alkaline side, cells become poisoned by their own toxic waste and die.

Just as acid rain can destroy a forest and alkaline wastes can pollute a lake; an imbalanced pH corrodes all body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of veins and arteries like corrosives eating into marble. If left unchecked, an imbalanced pH will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing of your brain. The body is largely made up of water, a medium that is biologically useful in allowing nutrients, oxygen and bio-chemicals to be transported from place to place. This water-based medium can have either acid or alkaline properties that are measured by a graduated scale called pH (for potential hydrogen), wherein 1.0 to 6.9 is considered acidic, 7.0 is neutral and 7.1 to 14.0 is alkaline.

What is the pH of some popular drinks?

Most Vegetables 5.0-6.0
Potatoes with Skin 5.5
Almonds 5.0

Even the experts, who acknowledge that a neutral or slightly alkaline pH is good, disagree on what this means with regard to body fluids. For example, some researchers consider a slightly acid urine pH to be normal (healthy) because it might indicate that the body is eliminating acids that are a natural product of metabolism. Other experts maintain that the urine should be close to neutral or slightly alkaline. Acid/alkaline balance is extremely important to normal physiology.

For example, the blood will maintain a slightly alkaline range of 7.35 to 7.45. Extended pH imbalances of any kind are not well tolerated by the body. The management of the pH factor is so important that the body's primary regulatory systems (especially breathing, circulation and eliminations) closely regulate acid-alkaline balance in every cell and system of the organism. Some researchers believe that high acidity can deplete bones because the body has to steal alkalizing minerals (especially calcium) from bones to keep the blood from dropping into the acid range.

Thus acid/alkaline balance may be relevant to diseases such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Alkalinity can be increased by consuming less meat and sweets and more vegetables and fruits. Although eating fruit to increase alkalinity may seem to be a contradiction because some fruits (especially citrus) are acidic outside the body, digestion uses up their acidic components, leaving an alkaline residue (ash). Thus the net effect is alkaline-producing in the system.

Why Drink Alkalized Water?

Due to our modern lifestyles and consumption of meats, dairy, coffee & processed sugars, these create acidic ash in the body. Even the water we drink can be acidic adding to the body’s attempts to maintain its natural pH value. Our bodies should have a blood pH value of 7.36 to 7.44. Typical symptoms of acidic blood can include;

Low energy
Excess weight
Poor digestion
Aches& pains

Some experts go even further to suggest that an alkaline body might not allow degenerative diseases including cancer cells to form as readily in an acidic body by combining a change in diet and drinking water with a pH value similar to the ideal blood value can lead to better health. Understanding pH pH is a method to measure the acid/alkaline value of a given substance. The chart below shows a typical range of Ph values, with 7 being neutral. For example pH values
