Acid-Alkaline Balance throughout your
body
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.
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, 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 reestablishing 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), and proper
supplementation.
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 liters 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. Ideally, the water you drink should
have a ph between 9 and 10, and you should be drinking 3-4 liters of it
daily.
In order to hydrate your body optimally, you need
to drink water that is alkaline and ionized. 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
