WHY SHOULD WE DRINK IONIZED-ALKALINE WATER?
ALL OF US HAVE TOO MUCH ACIDS
We often wonder why more and more young people, even children, get sick with vintage diseases. Polluted environment, harmful habits of nutrition, stressful situations - all these factors aggravate metabolism and assimilation of nutrients.
Purpose of food is to provide nutrients and energy for the development and growth of the body. Difference between right and wrong food can be recognized by the amount and type of harmful to our body wastes that are formed by this food. The higher is the quality of food, the smaller amount of acid wastes and the bigger amount of mineral, alkaline products that neutralize acids are formed. While choosing food it is always important to remember: alkaline materials clean the body by neutralising acid wastes and acid materials create conditions for acidifying of our body and pollutions of it with acid wastes. One of the essential safeguards of good health is the balance of acids and alkalis of the body.
Our body does its best to remove acid wastes that are formed during metabolism process with urine, perspiration and breathed out carbon dioxide. As we know, acids are best neutralised by alkalis. Here it must be noted that the body itself does not produce alkaline materials. It can obtain alkaline materials only with food and drinks we consume. For this when consuming drinks and food it is necessary to receive sufficient amount of alkaline minerals, the most important of which are potassium, natrium, calcium and magnesium.
Unfortunately, in modern nutrition food that acidifies the body is dominant. It is meat and its products, products from white flour, coffee, alcohol, pasteurized juice, fish and sea products, bread, buns, confectionery, eggs, coca cola, lemonade and others. List of alkaline products is much shorter: fresh fruits, vegetables, salads, potatoes, non-carbonated mineral water and others. It is obvious, that it is uneasy task to maintain normal balance of acids and alkalis with nutrition only.
With the shortage of alkaline materials acidity of the body increases and alkalinity of the blood reduces. Alkalinity of the blood is defined by pH index and its allowable range is very narrow: from 7.3 to 7.45 pH. Even slight deviation from these values causes heavy health problems and when acidity reaches pH 6.95, a person looses consciousness and dies. Therefore, the body tries to convert these liquid wastes into solid ones and stores them in different places, mostly in the fat layer, in this way reducing their acidifying effect. (Accumulations of fat and overweight often are the consequences of accumulation of not removed acid wastes). Solid acid wastes are cholesterol, kidney stones, gallstones, urates, sulphates, phosphates.
Unfortunately, very often the body, especially above age of 45, becomes incapable of removing all acid wastes that have been formed. And everything that isn‘t removed stays and accumulates in different places of the body, so our body acidifies. In such places where the body stores acid wastes the blood circulation disarrays, supply of blood to vitally important organs becomes insufficient, their functioning becomes irregular. Therefore accumulation of acid wastes is the reason of premature ageing and one of the most important causes of many degenerative diseases.
Key to good health and longevity is the capability of the body to neutralize and remove these wastes.
The Beginning of Various Diseases
Shortage of necessary amount of alkaline materials in food, particularly calcium, makes the body "borrow" them from the bones. Thus the osteoporosis begins. Upon excess accumulation of uric acid salts in joints the arthritis and gout develop. If there is a lack of calcium ions that are necessary for neutralization of acids accumulated around the pancreas, production of insulin disarrays and it can cause development of the diabetes.
Now different medicine regulating acidity of the stomach is very popular. Very often the reason of this, however, is not increased acidity of the stomach, but too high acidity of the body itself.
One of the reasons of high blood pressure is that blood thickens in acidic environment and clogs the capillaries.
Acid wastes accumulate in blood vessels too. They can clog capillaries which supply blood to the brain. The body tries to paste these particles onto the artery walls. This limits the flowing of the blood, suppresses activity of the heart. That causes disorders of blood circulation and evokes heart diseases, the atherosclerosis develops. Under increased physical load, in stressful situations the blood pressure can increase radically and push out floating particles of wastes which can clog a capillary vessel supplying blood to the brain. The real danger of the stroke can arise. By drinking ionized alkaline water such floating acid wastes are liquefied and made to melt naturally so that they could be easily removed through the kidney.
Alkalis Neutralize Acids
Nobody doubts the proposition that alkalis neutralize acids. When we touch meat our hands become sticky. To wash fats which are of acidic origin off our hands using water only is impossible. We need soap which, being alkaline, liquefies fats and cleans our hands. We are used of taking care of our external body but, unfortunately, we do not take care of the dirt accumulated inside it.
Most of us are concerned about the pain manifesting itself in different places of our body. The reason of such pain often is accumulations of acid wastes that accumulate in every person differently. Thus the symptoms of diseases show us around which part of the body, in what tissues wastes are accumulated. It is important to understand that acid wastes form of all food articles, no matter if they are healthy or not so healthy, expensive or cheap, and their accumulation is the main cause of adult degenerative diseases. Therefore it shouldn't be surprising that after reduction of acid wastes accumulations in the body our health improves. Alkaline water (which is described in more detail in the following section) is a perfect solution for effective performance of this task.
