The Benefits of Alkaline Water

The American diet is extremely acidic and this is a critical issue. Meat (including beef, pork, chicken and turkey) is acidic. Dairy products (such as milk, butter and cheese) are acidic. Grains (such as rice and barley) are acidic. Beverages (such as coffee, tea, and soft drinks) are very acidic. Fruit and fruit juices contain high concentrations of acid. Simple carbohydrates such as potatoes, pasta, and bread contain large amounts of acids.

As best selling author Dr. Robert Young has pointed out in his book, The pH Miracle, acidity in the body is related to disease. In fact, cancer cells cannot survive in a well-oxygenated, alkaline environment. Unfortunately, our acidic diets do not adequately provide this type of environment. The following painful conditions can be the result:

- Acid reflux is a painful condition that occurs when acidic stomach liquid backs up (refluxes) into the esophagus, causing irritation, inflammation and damage to the lining of the esophagus.

- High cholesterol occurs when the body produces excessive amounts of cholesterol to neutralize large amounts of acids in the blood stream before they damage living cells.

- Heart disease is the result of a build-up of cholesterol in the coronary arteries that reduces the blood flow to the heart muscle. As stated above, cholesterol forms to product the arterial wall from acidity in the blood.

- Fat is produced by the body to trap and neutralize acidic waste in the body. Dr. Robert O. Young, who also wrote The pH Miracle for Weight Loss, says, “The body retains fat as a protection against the overproduction of acids produced by the typical American diet….Your fat is actually saving your life.” No wonder it is difficult to eliminate!

- Inflammatory related diseases such as allergies, arthritis, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, and even stroke are related to low-grade metabolic acidosis.

Alkaline Water Benefits

To achieve optimal health, we need to restore a proper alkaline state in the body. Large amounts of vegetables can achieve this. Drinking ionized, alkaline water is also becoming recognized as an important element. Given the reluctance of many Americans to eating large amounts of veggies, this water may be the most important element of all.

Alkaline water can neutralize the acidity of the body caused by stress, modern diet, air pollution, and many bottled waters. A higher pH in the body reduces the need for fat and cholesterol to protect the body from damaging acid.

Alkaline water is negatively charged and an “antioxidant.” Antioxidants reduce cellular and DNA damage caused by free radicals. Negatively charged alkaline water creates energy by giving up ions to positive ions.

Superior Cellular Hydration

Ionization breaks clusters of water molecules into smaller micro-clusters, reducing the size of the clusters from the 11-16 molecules in standard water to just 5-6 molecules in ionized water. Smaller clusters pass through cell walls more easily and hydrate the cells more quickly. Faster hydration allows the body to regulate its temperature more efficiently. Micro-clusters of mineral-bearing ionized water also deliver nutrients more efficiently to the cells.

Due to their smaller size, micro-clusters of ionized water molecules are expelled from the cells more efficiently, carrying damaging toxins out of the cells and flushing them out of the system. The negative charge of ionized alkaline water will attract the positive ions of acids and neutralize them within the body.
