Continuing our mission of taking good care of our health, shall we start drinking water worth drinking?! Look at the label on your water …
Is the pH below 7.0? Is that information not even displayed?! Then the water you are drinking is no good!
Drinking water with alkaline pH daily is a Health, Vitality and Longevity secret, and helps to: Recover organic vitality, give you a feeling of well-being, restore the acidity balance in your body altered by pollution and the poor diet of modern life, slow signs of aging, prevent osteoporosis, increase antioxidant protection (which benefits all internal organs), and finally moisturize and rejuvenate the skin.
Dr. Cristina Sales explains:
“The level of acidity or alkalinity of a liquid is identified by its pH value ranging from 1 to the maximum acidity of 14. The pH value of 7 corresponds to a neutral acid-base, neither acid nor alkaline.”
Blood pH:
In the human body, the blood has a pH value of 7.365, slightly alkaline. To stay alive, the human body needs to be able to keep the value of its blood pH constant. To do so, it depends on complex biological mechanisms that involve, on a permanent and dynamic basis, various organs and systems. In the normal metabolic processes of living cells, acids are produced and are constantly disposed of in the space between cells, in the skin tissue. It’s then drained into the bloodstream which quickly expels it from the body, primarily via the urine.
Over time, a rich diet in alkalizing foods (vegetables and fruit) help the human body maintain the pH balance of the blood and survive. If the amount of acid produced becomes too high, endangering the maintenance of blood pH, the body activates defense mechanisms. The most effective of them is “fetching” calcium from the bones. Calcium has the ability to alkalinize the blood.
Acidified body / symptoms:
Aging, stress, intense physical activity, some acute and chronic diseases, smoking and environmental pollution increase acid production in cells. Dehydration, intake of acidic water and acidifying foods – sugar, coffee, alcohol, soft drinks and red meat – further aggravate the acidity of the body.
“An acidified body is bound to a constant extra effort to keep its blood pH stable. It suffers. Cells have difficulty in completing basic functions and efficient draining in skin tissue is hampered. In worst cases, a chronically acidified organism has physically and mentally deficient performance.”
The person feels lifeless, lacking in energy, easily gets tired, reduced muscle strength, lower adaptation to stress and decreased mental capacity. Is this you? Then it’s time you changed your water!
Chronic acidity in an organism promotes weight gain, muscle and joint pain, osteoporosis, oxidative stress, degenerative diseases, cancer and accelerates the aging process. Drinking alkaline water is the best and most effective way to compensate for the acidification of the body caused also by the harsh conditions of modern society. ”
