The Best Drinking Water and Why Because your body is 70% water, you must drink plenty of water to maintain your internal chemistry. But not all water is beneficial to your body and overall health! Water is acidic or alkaline, and that’s measured by the pH scale — numbers that range from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most alkaline), with 7 being neutral and our blood being 7.4. Improving the water you drink is one of the best things you can do for your body!
Alkaline Water: A Waste Purifier and Detoxifier Alkaline water helps your body rid itself of two damaging substances: excessive acid (released through your sweat and your elimination system) and toxins, which cause cell damage that leads to premature aging. Alkaline water can also neutralize herbicides and pesticides in today’s foods and air, preventing some toxins from even entering your body.
Alkaline Water (pH 8.5–9.5): The Best for Drinking Today’s foods and beverages are often acidic — pH 6.5 or lower. Over time, an acidic diet can cause inflammation in your joints and organs, the loss of blood cells, and acute or chronic illness. Alkaline water promotes your overall health by counteracting acidic foods and helping your body maintain a healthy pH balance. To normalize your body’s pH levels, drinking 3–4 glasses of alkaline water every day is recommended. As alkaline water reduces your body’s acidity, your immune system gets a boost, which in turn can help reduce or eliminate allergy symptoms because allergies are an immune system overreaction to a substance in your body.
Even More Benefits from Alkaline Water! Alkaline water…
Alkaline Water Increases Hydration Alkaline water’s micro-clustered hexagonal oxygen molecules are smaller than those in acidic water, thus hydrating your body more quickly and easily. Alkaline water also helps your body produce fibrinogen, a protein essential for proper blood clot formation. Alkaline Water: A Powerful Antioxidant The negative hydrogen ions in alkaline water help slow down the production of free radicals in your body. Free radicals cause aging, and if they reach high levels, they may cause cell damage and cancer.
...helps manage your blood glucose levels by optimizing how your pancreas functions. ...improves digestion because it resets the pH of your gut (your gastrointestinal and digestive systems). ...helps your skin with collagen production, and improves eczema and acne. ...improves concentration, alertness and ability to process information (because your brain is mostly water). ...improves how foods and beverages taste to you. Besides pre-bottled alkaline water being expensive, its advertised pH is often inaccurate. It’s much less expensive to purchase a Reverse Osmosis system with an alkaline filter.
