Obesity and Alkaline Water

Following the ionized water intake recommendations can help you lose gobs of weight and get you down to your ideal weight level, without resorting to drugs, diets, gimmicks, and frustrations.

You are probably wondering how ionized water can cause your body to lose weight, well let me explain: To survive, and have a healthy body, a body that can resist developing or catching various diseases, your body's cells must maintain a cellular pH of 7.35 to 7.45.

A pH below that level will cause the destruction of your cells and an early death. This is real. Talk to any operating room nurse and he or she will tell you that if your cells pH is less then 7.35, you’re dead. That is why your body fights to maintain its cellular alkaline level at all cost.

Foods you eat that are acid forming, water or other beverages you drink, like soda, coffee, tea (except rooibos tea – which has no acid), beer, wine, smoking, and the polluted air you breath all cause acid to develop in your body. This must be neutralized and expelled out of your system.

When your body is in a healthy alkaline state, neutralizing and eliminating the acid from your body is easily accomplished through your urine, bowels, exhaled acidic breath and sweating.

When you don’t ingest enough alkaline forming food or drink to neutralize the excess acid, your body will leach calcium, magnesium and potassium from your bones and organs, including your heart, to neutralize this excess acid in its constant vigilance to protect the pH level of its cells.

Further, if your body becomes overwhelmed with acid and cannot neutralize all the acid in your body, your body will capture the un-neutralized acid and encapsulate it in fat cells. This is the excess weight issue.

Even though this encapsulation process will make you fat, you should be grateful, because this process is actually saving your life.

Now that may be a shocking statement for you, but what you must understand is that acid, if allowed to flow freely into your organs, will destroy the cells of your organs.

That is why your body is so protective and will do anything to rid itself of the acid, or if it cannot, it will encapsulate the acid in fat cells which acid cannot dissolve, and keep the acid out of harms way.

Here’s an excellent analogy from the kitchen: Think about meat tenderizer. It softens your steak because the tenderizer is acidic and breaks down the cells. The same happens in your body. Acid breaks down and dissolves cells unless it is neutralized.

Your body will not release the acid from your fat cells even though you go on a diet unless it has enough alkalinity to neutralize the acid within the fat. This is why most people find it to be a losing battle to lose and maintaining a loss of weight and why many people on a diet lose lean mass and not fat.

Your body builds up enough alkaline minerals to neutralize the acid so that your body has no further need to hold on to fat cells. It is also the reason you keep off the excess weight.
