The Importance of Drinking Alkaline Water
Many of us are not aware how important pH balance is for the body. In fact, the body should be more alkaline than acidic. Proper health starts with the correct acid-alkaline balance in our body. The pH value (acid-alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. Excessive acid imbalances of any kind can overwhelm our body, and lead to health challenges.
Just as the body regulates its temperature at 36.9 degrees Celcius, so will it manage to preserve the pH value - especially in the blood. The body will constantly strive to maintain a balance of the blood pH at 7.365. In so doing, it will even create stress on other tissues, body systems, and organs. Chronic acidity interrupts 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, sick and tired, 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 neutralise 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 neutralise 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 alkalising foods (vegetables, low sugar fruits, etc.), super hydration (drinking plenty of alkaline water that is ionic and structured), and proper supplementation.
