Change Your Acid / Alkaline Balance with the h2o You imbibe: What the Experts Say

In health areas there has been much  talk about acid /alkaline imbalance. Let’s see if we can clarify how experts recommend we rectify this imbalance.

The answer
Your body functions at it’s peak when balanced between too acid nor too alkaline. Unfortunately nearly all of us have become too acidic due to diet, drinks and stress — both psychological and from pollution. Acids can build up in our body, causing systems  to be out of balance.

The effects
According to Dr. Stefan Kuprowsky, “Acid wastes build up in the body in the form of cholesterol, gallstones, kidney stones, arterial plaque, urates, phosphates and sulfates. These acidic waste products are the direct cause of untimely aging and the onset of chronic disease.”

When this occurs, the body will restore its optimal pH by depleting certain minerals, such as potassium, calcium and magnesium, from organs and bones. In addition, your immune system may become fatigued from dealing with an excess of acid. Your body then stores acidic wastes in ‘hiding places’ such as muscles etc. rather than releasing the acids into the bloodstream.

As Dr.Robert Atkins, the well-known author, health and diet expert, notes: “Just about every condition I can reckon of, from arthritis to diabetes to cancer, is associated with acidity.”

“The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause…too much tissue acid waste in the body!” Theodore A. Baroody, ND, Ph.D.

What can we do?
A vast body of research reveals that you can help negate acid build-up in the  blood and maintain a balanced pH, by taking some simple steps, such as:
– Exercise
– Avoiding highly acid-forming food and drink
– Drinking the right water

What is the “right” water?
“International studies show that populations with small or no history of illness, such as cancer, drink higher pH (alkaline) waters. After all potential risk factors were considered and factored out, it became evident that they had been drinking waters with a pH of 9.0 to 10.0.” Dr. Leonard Horowitz in “Aids and Ebola”

Alkaline ionized water “first came to notice in Japan, where researchers noted that people drinking water that came from certain quick- moving rocky mountain streams loved extraordinarily excellent health. It turned out that this naturally occurring water was alkaline and had a different structure and electrical properties.” Larry Clapp, PhD. in “Prostate Health in 90 days”

Alkaline water is produced at home with a small kitchen appliance called a water ionizer (long in use in Japan and Korea).  As water ionizers have become  well loved in North America, more health professionals have had the ability to evaluate their effects on clients:

Sue Pollock, N.D. writes, we can “help the body in being more alkaline with …drinking alkaline water.”

“I believe that the best water is water that is alkaline (reduced) and purified using a small device known as a water ionizer.” (Dr. Stefan Kuprowsky)

“It is my opinion that ionized water will change the way in which all health practitioners and the public approach their health in the coming years.” Dr. T. Baroody in “Alkalize or Die.”

Why not just rely on a change of dietary needs?
According to Sang Whang, researcher and author of “Reverse Aging”, the danger is that we might forget vital foods:

“Since the toxic products that we are trying to discharge are acidic, the right kind of water is alkaline water…My personal recommendation is to delight in the foods that we like, but do not over-eat or leave out any food. Eat in moderation following the professional dieticians’ “balanced diet” concept, and let alkaline water do the job of cleansing acidic wastes.”
