Why you need to alkalize for optimum health
What does that mean and why should you do it? Let's consider the basics...... This term comes from the base word alkali. Alkalis are best known for being bases (compounds with a pH greater than 7) that dissolve in water. Acids are the opposite of alkalis, sometimes referred to as bases, on the pH scale. You can learn about pH and how it relates to your body here. For now, let’s discover why this is important. Your body must stay in a slightly basic state for its very survival. If your alkalinity is thrown off balance, you will become slightly acidic and….. An acid, by its very nature, is a corrosive and harmful substance. You can become acidic from the food you eat, from environmental factors, and even having too much stress. These higher acid levels can lead to many health problems. Ok. You’ve learned about pH and how it relates to your health. So, how do you change your body’s pH level? The first and most important way is to drink alkaline ionized water. It’s simple really. You know that your body is about 70% water. So if the water you are drinking is alkalized, this will have a large impact on the pH level of your body. Another way is to change your diet. There are many popular, seemingly wholesome foods that are naturally highly acidic to your body. By starting a diet that contains alkaline foods you can achieve a higher pH level.
