Why Drink Alkaline Water? Stop & Reverse Degeneration

 

90 % of our body is made up of water. This is a high percentage to ignore. The one thing essential for the human body after oxygen is water. In cultures where fasting rituals are carried out , the toughest fasts are those where no water is allowed to be had either. So exactly what functions does water carry out in our body and why should we drink alkaline water.

Water performs three basic functions in our body. One is to carry various nutrients to the cells , secondly to carry back toxins from the cells and lastly water helps regulate the body temperature by hydration. Water contains both organic as well as inorganic minerals. The human body can only use the organic minerals, since only plants can convert th inorganic into organic minerals. Normal water contains over 95% inorganic minerals. This is where alkaline water comes in. These inorganic minerals cause problems like kidney stones, gallstones and worse still arthritis.

After years of research it has been found that higher acidic body ph causes degeneration. All kinds of diseases as well as the aging process is the result of degeneration. Alkaline water rids the body of this acidic levels and balances the body ph to its alkaline nature. Alkaline water contains not only oxygen in the form of O2 but also OH- which is an ionized alkaline mineral. When the body is deprived of oxygen in the form of O2 it uses the OH- oxygen. Consuming alkaline water over normal tap water has many benefits. Not only does alkaline water alkalize the body but also detoxifies the cells of the body. Various serious and chronic diseases like cancer , Osteoporosis, Kidney problems, migraines, and many more can be rid of with the sue of alkaline water. Medication can only shift the acidic level from one point to the other thus there is only temporary relief to be gotten from medications. Alkaline water on the other hand washes the acidic levels out of the body by balancing them by alkalizing the cells. 6 to 8 glasses of alkaline water a day is enough to maintain a healthy life which is free of diseases.

Alkaline water along with an alkaline diet is the call of today?s health experts. Not only does alkaline water help maintain the alkaline ph level of the body but it also rids the water of the inorganic nutrients that normal water has. Alkaline water can be bought from most general stores and is a must for all ages. Stop and reverse degeneration by drinking alkaline water.

Blood pH Level - The Benefits Of Alkaline pH Blood

 

We are all born with a very high alkaline blood ph of 7.4. Over the years as we age this ph level gets more acidic. An acidic environment is like a magnet for all diseases. It also speeds up the aging process. So if the aging process is to be slowed down and lost years regained then one must work towards a high alkaline blood ph.

Alkaline blood can be achieved only by consuming alkaline food and drinking alkaline water. What we eat is who we are. So if one eats vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, cabbages, lettuce and so on we will be making our alkaline blood better. On the other hand consuming acidic foods leaves our blood acidic. All the toxins from within our body are expelled out of the urine or by sweating. So if these toxins do not get a release, our body cells fall prey to them and begin ageing. Ever wondered why younger people are more energetic that older ones. Well! The answer is simple. Younger people carry more hydroxyl ions than hydrogen ions. The former gives oxygen while the later is an oxygen taker. More oxygen means added energy. There is thus a great need to eat alkaline foods so as to release more oxygen and thus derive more energy from it. Alkaline blood simply keeps the oxygen levels high in our arteries and so prevents the cells from degeneration and therefore aging.

Another good example of benefits of alkaline blood is arthritis and gout prevention as well as cure. Uric acid is not easily dissolvable. Water, alcohol as well as ether all fail to dissolve uric acid, but it easily dissolves in alkaline salts and alkaline water. Thus alkaline blood helps rid the body of uric acid which is the root cause of arthritis and gout. These ailments are caused by uric acid deposits between the joints of the body. The older we get the more likely we are to suffer from arthritis and similar diseases. This is because the older we gets the more our alkaline blood drops its alkalinity thus resulting in uric acid deposits in the body.

When our body gets sluggish and weak we refer to it as the aging process. But this aging is caused by deposits of acids at various points in the body. If we can rid the body of the various wastes and toxins we shall be able to slow down the aging process. This is called anti aging. Only alkaline blood will be able to flush all the toxins and wastes out of the body. Therefore an alkaline blood ph of at least 7.4 must be maintained. To maintain a high alkaline blood ph at least 80% of our total food intake must comprise of alkaline foods and no more than a maximum of 20 % acidic foods

To sum up it would be best to say that alkaline blood is in direct indirect proportion to aging. The more the alkalinity of blood the less we will age.

Acid Alkaline Diet & Its Benefits

 

The basis of the acid alkaline diet rests on two theories. One is that the ph of the body needs to be maintained at 7.4 if the rest of the body is to function optimally. The second theory is that all foods can be divided into three basic categories namely alkaline foods, acidic foods and neutral foods. Therefore the acid alkaline diet enforces the consuming of alkaline foods which are mainly vegetables and fruits as opposed to eating meats and other acidic foods. One can say that it is the opposite of an Atkins diet.

The acid alkaline diet is followed by consuming 80 % alkaline foods while the other 20% of the food intake can be acidic. The diet rests on the fact that our alkaline body oh of 7.4 can be maintained only if the alkaline ash and acidic ash are in the ratio of 80 % is to 20 %. For this ratio to be maintained one needs to eat in the similar balance Therefore one must consume a lot of fruits and vegetables as opposed to meats and breads. Green vegetables like broccoli, cabbages, salad leaves, asparagus are all part of the acid alkaline diet plan. Fruits are power houses of energy and should be consumed for good health. But they are also alkaline foods and so help maintain the ph balance of the body. The acid alkaline diet recommends eating a lot of fruits. Apples, mangoes, bananas, citrus fruits and melons help maintain the body ph level at 7.4 apart from vegetables and fruits one can also consume almonds, honey, buckwheat, quinoa, herbal teas and olive oil while following the acid alkaline diet plan. Consuming 6 to 8 glasses of alkaline water is also essential for the body to function well and rid itself of the various toxins.

The acid alkaline diet can help almost anyone. People who suffer from migraines, low energy levels, constant and repetitive colds, asthma, and even high blood pressure can finds their cure in an acid alkaline diet. If the ph of the body gets acidic it affects not only the brain and the heart but also simple body mechanism and processes get faulty. Any illness comes on only when the body defenses are down. The acid alkaline diet fixes and balances the ph of the body thus raising its immune system and also curing illnesses. Medication without an acid alkaline diet will only lead to short time relief. Over time with the acidic ph harming the body the similar or a novel illness will strike the body again. Therefore the only permanent cure of illnesses striking the body is following an acid alkaline diet so that the body ph can be maintained at 7.4. Even serious ailments like cancer and arthritis find their roots in a misbalanced body ph. Doctors also recommend that the acid alkaline diet should be followed by patients suffering from cancer along with their medications so as to speed up their recovery process.

For those who feel their lives are worth living more and for those who don?t, the acid alkaline diet is almost sent from heaven. The acid alkaline diet is the only answer to the various illnesses that we face.

The Acid-Alkaline Debate-Part 2-Your Body's pH, Cancer & Other Diseases

 

In part 1 of The Acid ? Alkaline Debate we discussed the health crisis in America. To put it in greater perspective America is first in having access to clean water and sanitation facilities. We spend more money per person on health care and a greater percentage of our gross domestic product that any other country. Yet, we are 34th in infant death rate, 29th in maternal death rate, and 48th overall in life expectancy. Where we used to be #1 in life expectancy for women age 65 we are now 20th. Many feel the source of the problem lies in our calorie consumption. Americans consume more calories per capita than any other nation and we show it by leading the world in the prevalence of obesity.

What Does This Have To Do With The Acid ? Alkaline Debate?
Everything! The vast majority of the American diet centers on foods that create an acidic environment in your body. This then allows other acid producing pathways to take hold having a negative impact on your health and wellness. The body becomes acidic as a result of the following three things:

1. Ingesting Acidic Producing Foods. When food is metabolized or ?burned? in our body it leaves an ?ash?. This food ash will be neutral, acidic, or alkaline depending largely on the leftover mineral composition of the food. Although the following list is not complete, it will give you a general idea of which foods leave behind an acidic or alkaline environment:

Acidic Foods: corn, canned fruits, cranberries, most grain and grain products, most beans & legumes, milk, peanuts, peanut butter, most animal proteins, tuna, most fats and oils, sugar, artificial sweeteners, alcohol, catsup, cocoa, and aspirin.

Alkalizing Foods: water, most vegetables, most fruits especially if they are low sugar, almonds, fermented tofu, whey protein, all herbs and many spices, soured dairy products, probiotic cultures, bee pollen, and juices that are green, veggie or fresh fruit.

Super Acidifying Food: Coca-Cola ? pH 2, Beer ? pH 2.5, Coffee ? pH 4

Super Alkalizing Minerals: Potassium ? pH 14, Sodium ? pH 14, Calcium ? pH 12, Magnesium ? pH 9

Now you can see why the standard American diet of animal protein with a refined grain product washed down with a beer or dark cola creates an extremely acidic environment.

2. Creation of an Acidic Environment Resulting in Toxicity & Microform Overgrowth. As you eat and drink food combinations that create an acidic environment, microforms and pathogens start to grow and proliferate in your body. For example, yeasts, Candida, and anaerobic bacteria now have an environment that fosters their growth which results in toxins and acids being excreted into your system causing a further pH imbalance.

3. Poor Elimination & Neutralization of Acids. Your body will go to great lengths to maintain its normal pH level. It will even stress other tissues and body systems to do so. It uses minerals such as calcium to act as a buffer. Your body will even pull calcium out of your bone structure to help in this process which can lead to osteoporosis.

Got Milk?
The dairy industry has created a great campaign slogan so you might think that all you have to do is drink more milk. The fat and protein in whole milk creates a greater ?acid ash? than the amount of calcium it contains. The net result is whole milk will actually deplete calcium stores. If you are going to drink milk, then make it skim milk only. Not only will you save on calories and fat but you will be able to offset the ?acid ash? from the protein and get a positive influx of calcium. And, since we are on this topic, stay away from dark colas. Most dark colas whether they be regular or diet contain phosphoric acid. I firmly believe that this has been one of the leading causes of all the degenerative diseases that we are seeing. Dark colas create an acid environment and most Americans consume such large quantities of it.

So, How Do I Find Out If I?m A Walking Flask of Acid?
You could spend lots of money and make lots of visits to your doctor?s office to get your blood analyzed on a regular basis or you could do a simple urine test at home. One of the primary systems for getting rid of acids in the body is your kidneys or renal system. Under normal or optimal conditions, the pH of your urine should be in the 6.75 to 7.25 range. Anything under 6.75 would most likely mean that your body?s internal environment is becoming acidic. By using pH test strips you can test your urine?s pH at home. There are special test strips designed to give you a color gradation to help you accurately determine your urine?s pH so that you can maintain a proper pH level.

If you take the time to find out if your body is acidic, then what steps can you take to go from acidic to alkaline? I?ll cover that in Part 3 of The Acid ? Alkaline Debate!
