Acid Alkaline Imbalance

For the last 30 years, Japanese and Korean people have been enjoying the health and fitness benefits of alkaline water that we in the West had hardly heard of. Hospitals use ionized alkaline water and its equally useful by-product, astringent acid water to heal, sanitize and cleanse, in place of expensive drug and antibiotic regimen. Restaurants use it to sanitize food, wash hands. Golf Courses and Greenhouses use it to kill fungus growth naturally. Over 25% of the people have home ionizers that make alkaline and acid water for their home use.

In the last few years we’ve seen a revolution in the way Westerners think about diet, stress and water. Since the national health press article about acid/alkaline balance, many thousands of mainstream Americans have begun to understand the importance of maintaining your body in a slightly alkaline rather than a slightly acidic condition. Today every health magazine contains articles and advertisements for ways to correct acidity.

The most amazing thing about this health revolution is that is has been people-driven rather than drug company or medical establishment driven. People are making the choice to self-manage their future health. They realize that it is essential to clear themselves of the chemical toxins we have all accumulated in order to create an alkaline environment within that does not support illness and disease.

Why we need to alkalize

The food that we eat burns with oxygen in our cells to produce energy. After burning, the ash becomes acid wastes and the cells dump them into the bloodstream. If you could get rid of 99.9% of the garbage in your home everyday, wouldn’t that .01% accumulate into lot of garbage over the years? The same analogy is true as our body tries its best to get rid of these wastes through urine, breath and perspiration. Unfortunately, we cannot get rid of all the wastes that we produce and what is left over must be stored somewhere in our body. The body plays a clever trick to convert these acid wastes into solid wastes, which is the beginning of “Acidosis”, a state that the body becomes slightly acidic rather than alkaline.

Acidity and Weight

The body begins to store these solid wastes in many places, around the organs and under the skin as fat. Many believe that fat production may be a result of acid waste demands for a storage medium. Fewer toxins in your body will require less space for storage, hence reducing the waist size.

Acidity and Aging

Examples of solidified acidic wastes in our body are cholesterol, fatty acid, uric acid, kidney stones, urates, sulfates and phosphates. The accumulation of these non-disposed solid wastes is the process of aging. Cholesterol and fatty acids are the result of eating too much pasta and bread and not exercising enough. Uric acid and ammonia come from all kinds of meat. Phosphoric acid comes from grains such as rice and drinks such as cola, Sulphuric acid comes from egg yolks. In Western nations, antacids are a billion dollar business because so many people think the problem is an over acidic stomach, when in fact it is an over acidic body.

Acidity and Osteoporosis

Sulfuric and phosphoric acid are both poisonous acids. They must have alkaline minerals to neutralize them in order to become benign. In the absence of enough alkaline minerals from our diet, the body has no choice but to rob calcium and phosphorous from our body minerals to convert these poisonous acids into non-poisonous acid salts; sulfate, phosphates, and urates. Most of our calcium and phosphorous stores are in our bones

Acidity and Diabetes

Depending upon where the body stores acid wastes, blood circulation around that area gets poor and eventually a vital organ is unable to receive enough blood supply and becomes dysfunctional. Many adult degenerative diseases are the result of poor circulation. Diabetes is an adult degenerative disease which is caused by acid accumulation around the pancreas.

Acidity and Cancer

Malignant cancer cells are acidic, while healthy cells are alkaline. Normal cells cannot survive near areas of waste acid accumulation. Mutation of healthy alkaline cells into acidic cells that thrive in an acidic environment is the beginning of cancerous growths. Experienced oncologists increase the alkalinity of their patients before administering treatment, often by injecting sodium bicarbonate, an alkaline buffer.

Acidity and Heart Disease

Acidic wastes accumulate outside and inside the blood vessels. Waste particles inside the blood vessels can be very dangerous, leading to clogging of capillaries servicing critical sections of the brain. Our body attempts to paste these waste particles onto artery walls to prevent them from floating around and creating terminal damage. This pasting action eventually leads to excess flow restriction and potential heart attacks..

Alkaline neutralizes acid

The scientific truth that alkaline neutralizes acid is a basic natural phenomenon. Alkaline water has no nutritional or medicinal value to cure disease; all it does is neutralize the acidic wastes in the human body and liquefy them for elimination by the kidneys. It is recommended to drink 8 glasses of alkaline water daily to detoxify and maintain good health.

Depending on the individual, we all store acidic wastes differently. Disease symptoms manifest depending upon where the wastes accumulate. For this reason, drinking alkaline water gives different results for different people. Some people lose weight, some are relieved of gout, some lower blood pressure, and some reverse other long-term conditions. When we understand the fact that all adult degenerative diseases are caused by the accumulation of acidic wastes, it is no mystery that drinking alkaline water improves our health.

How to maintain health and longevity

Drink your way to health and longevity
Drinking alkaline water is by far the easiest way to alkalize. Our blood is over 90% water and our bodies are over 70% water, it is the single most abundant component of our bodies, closely followed by alkaline calcium. Water provides the fluid in which our organs are bathed, the fluid that separates each of our trillions of cells, the fluid that carries nutrients to our cells for conversion into energy, and the fluid that carries waste away Water is the solvent that washes our cells, that cleanses us of our waste, and that hydrates our skin. It is the electrical circuit that carries instantaneous messages to every part of the body with speed and multiprocessing as yet unequalled by our super computers. Water has a distinct advantage over food. If taken in excess, it can be easily eliminated.

THE EXPERTS: WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ALKALIZING

Most diseases ravaging our communities have one common cause. More and more doctors herbalists and nutritionists believe that the cause – and the solution – come down to three words: ACID ALKALINE IMBALANCE. More and more doctors and therapists are seeing the light and recommending alkaline water.
