The Secret’s Out: It’s Alkaline Water I’ll start out by saying that degenerative disease thrives in an acidic condition of the blood and body tissues. There has never been a time in our country’s history when we as a people have exhibited as much rampant and pervasive degenerative disease amongst our citizenry as is the case nowadays. There are many contributing factors as to why health problems develop and how to integrate rest, less stress, exercise, proper eating and thinking, air quality and the water we drink as a means for improving our health. For the sake of this article, the primary emphasis will be on water and how alkaline, anti-oxidizing, oxygen-rich, super-hydrating water may support improved health. It seems in many ways in this country we are moving in the wrong health direction instead of the right one. Diabetes and cancer have doubled in the last ten years in the United States. Two-thirds of the population is said to be overweight or obese. Arthritis, gout, neuropathies, muddled thinking, low energy, sleep problems and poor digestion are everywhere, to name several. In 1931, an Austrian doctor by the name of Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for his work in medicine when he proved that cancer cells (this would also apply to microbes, bacteria, fungi, virus) do not survive in a highly alkaline, oxygen-rich (aerobic) environment, but they thrive in an acidic, oxygen deprived (anaerobic) environment. One of the primary health tools used in Asia for over twenty-five years are alkalizing, anti-oxidizing water ionizers. One in five households in Japan and one in eight households in South Korea have one and, over there, these ionizers are classified as medical devices. In the United States these water ionizers are virtually unknown and can only be referred to as producing excellent water. These water systems that turn ordinary tap water into living, alkaline water that is oxygen-rich and super-hydrating will not remain in obscurity for long. I guarantee you will be hearing more and more about the relevance of proper ph, relieving oxidative stress and how important it is to maintain proper hydration for improved and even abundant health. We cannot make claims, yet if you speak to people who drink this ionized water that replicates what nature does in only select locations around the world that support the longest living people, most will tell you that they notice a positive, discernible difference within seven to ten days or sooner. Typically, people have reported that their bowel function improves, sleep is better, energy is uplifted, sugar cravings are reduced and that they think more clearly as only the beginning of what is reported. Part of what is taking place is that people are having a nominal detox. Toxins, residues, impurities and acids are being vanquished from tissues throughout the body. Add to this that alkalizing tissues has the effect of dousing the fire of caustic acids and will cool down inflammation, which is one of the primary factors in all disease and oxidization within the body. Remember, we are alkaline by design but acidic by function. That means that optimal health is achieved when body tissues are bathed in an alkaline ph between 7.20 and 7.45. That everything from thinking to breathing, heart action, activity, digestion elicits metabolic waste by-products that are acidic and create oxidative stress known as free radicals. The healthiest and longest living people on the planet live in what are called blue zones where the water ranges between 9.0-10.5 ph. By virtue of drinking the water that is readily available in these locations (Lourdes, France, Hunza mountains in Pakistan, Vilcabamba Ecuador, are examples), these people are continually compensating for the body’s tendency to build up acidic residues that contribute to all manner of health problems. What is nice to know is that learning some of this basic knowledge (that should be taught as proper health education from an early age) can still be learned and incorporated to support optimal health maintenance for the whole family. After air quality, the next most important element is the quality of the water we drink! There is substantial support and examples for the idea that alkaline, anti-oxidizing, oxygen-rich, super-hydrating, ionized water merits a closer look! Drink this amazing water for 7-10 days and experience an enhanced vitality and greater sense of well being.
