The ideal pH balance for the human body is 7.3 to 7.4. This can only be attained if we follow an alkaline diet, which means eating alkaline foods and alkaline water. When we have an alkaline consumption, the pH of our blood will become alkaline as well. Our bodily organs and endocrine systems function well at an alkaline level.
In Japan, many doctors prescribe treatment by alkaline water. Reportedly, the old-age population of Japan owes their 100+ years of life expectancy to their alkaline diet.
For detoxification, alkaline water is a potent cleansing agent. The intestines are easily cleansed when water is non-acidic since gastric, colonic juices and other metabolites are already acidic. The alkaline water or ionic water molecules will neutralize the acidity in the digestive tract and in the food being digested.
Alkaline water has micro-clustered molecules for better and faster absorption, making the body more hydrated and revitalized to do daily tasks. Aside from cleansing, ionic water becomes a power drink that gives instant energy. When the cells are energized, the body is stable and healthy. This also means that the nutrients being carried in the bloodstream are quickly absorbed since approximately 82% of the blood is made out of water.
As an antioxidant, alkaline water makes the body more resistant to extracellular damage and wards off free radicals. The healthy effects of the regular intake of alkaline ionic water will manifest in the skin. Skin renewal and repair for the ageing skin is evident when the pH in the cells are alkaline-stable.
Oxidation is the wear and tear of things, similar to the process of ageing that is mainly caused by oxidation. Because alkaline water basically has negative or lower ORP, oxidation in the body is reduced resulting to less oxidized tissues.
The body stores waste acids in some parts of the body as a bi-product of the body’s energy consumption. When we have lots of lactic acid, our knees and joints will be heavily filled with it. Uric acid is also a culprit of kidney disease, which can only be produced when the body has high amounts of acid intake. The reduction of fatty acids and lipids is a beneficial effect of higher alkalinity of the body. Waste production and excess fats are disposed as they are no longer useful when the right pH balance is attained. Alkaline water is the key to keeping a slim and fitter body!
