We all know that drinking lots of water during the day has plenty of health benefits, and can even help you lose weight.  But unfortunately, there are many differences in the type of water we drink throughout the day, especially when it comes to bottled water.  Then when you add any tap water that is consumed, our bodies’ water consumption includes many different water compositions.

Drinking plenty of alkaline water daily is one of the best ways to promote great health and reach your ideal weight. There are many brands of alkaline water in the stores today.  The most popular is Fiji Water.  This alkaline water has a PH of 7.5 to 7.8.

If you remember from high school science class, PH is the measure of acidity versus alkalinity in water.  Alkaline water has a PH of > 7.  It is more alkaline that normal water with has a PH of 7 or so.

Alkaline water is very expensive to buy.  For example Fiji Water on average costs $2.50 for a liter bottle.  Other brands sell for similar prices.  The most expensive alkaline water is the brands that promote the highest PH number. I’ve seen many bottles that contain alkaline water in the 8 PH range.

Drinking this type of water has many benefits.  Alkaline water is an excellent antioxidant due the a negative oxidation reduction potential that can raise the oxygen levels in your body.  These processes help to neutralize the acidic foods and drinks you eat during the day.  Meat, soda, candy, coffee, beer, are all highly acidic.  Drinking alkaline water through out the day will help to offset the acidic influences of these foods.

Additionally, drinking alkaline water helps to hydrate your body 5-7 times more than normal tap water.  Imagine having to drink 5 cups of tap water to get the same hydration as alkaline water.  The number is surprising.  You would be in the bathroom a lot more often during the day if you only drank tap water and wanted good hydration within your cells.

If your interested in drinking alkaline water here are a few tips.  First make sure that you are buying water from a well-known company.  Also do some research to find out where they get their water from.  Some times these companies will claim that they make their own alkaline water through proven research methods.  Our recommendation is to only buy alkaline water from sources that gather their water from natural sources, such as artesian wells.  Mother nature is the best scientist, and she has created the best water out there. Unfortunately, it’s only found in certain areas across the globe and most of these areas are owned by big businesses.

We recommend that you give alkaline water a taste. The taste itself is well worth it.  After that first taste, you’ll want more and will drink more.  This will be the greatest health reward as you’ll begin to feel healthier and feeling great!

An Alkaline Diet Can Be The Answer To New Health.

Dr. Robert Young, pioneer of the Alkaline Diet, has shown that the acid-alkaline ratio of the food we eat is what leads to optimal health. Hundreds of thousands are now living the Alkaline Diet because of Dr. Robert Young’s research.  They have vibrant well-being because they follow the PH scale (acid-alkaline ratio) for the foods they eat.

Early in high school you were taught that a PH of 7 is neutral, like water.

PH below 7 is acidic.

PH above 7 is alkaline.

The typical American diet, being filled with soda, fast food, and sweets is heavily acidic.  This food causes our bodies to corrode over time, much like the winter salt on the road causing our cars to rust!

Here are a few examples of how an alkaline diet would help you:

Weight - Dr. Young discovered that the fat in our bodies is due to over-acidification.  Your body creates fat to carry away the acids from your vital organs.  If this process didn’t happen, your organs would choke to death.  Through an alkaline diet, your body will naturally reach its ideal weight.

Fatigue – Can’t stay awake without caffeine?  Being overly acidic limits your body’s ability to absorb protein and minerals, which in turn weakens your ability to produce enzymes and hormones.  This leads to poor reconstruction of cells and energy production.

Digestion – Poor bowel movements? Are you gassy all the time?  Acidic diets create a sticky mucous that attaches to the intestinal wall.  This mucus limits the healthy probiotic bacteria, which leads to yeast overgrowth and poor bowel movements.  Your colon wants to be balanced and work as it was intended.  The alkaline diet gives balance back to the colon.

Bone Mass – The University of California San Francisco did a seven year study on over 9,000 people and found that chronic acidosis in women lead to a greater risk of Osteoporosis.  The scientists determined that an acidic diet is a major cause of the bone fractures so common in middle-aged women.  An alkaline diet helps promote healthy bone mass.

Years of research has shown that the body’s optimal PH level is 7.365.  An alkaline diet provides the needed nutrition to easily maintain this magical number of supreme health.

You receive countless benefits for following the alkaline diet.  The secret of the diet is eating your daily vegetables and herbs.

You’ve been raised knowing that vegetables and herbs are good for you, but why do you fail to eat enough of them each day?

That’s the secret behind the alkaline diet.  It’s the fact that eating vegetables and herbs more often than the meat and sugar, will cause your body to naturally become more alkaline and healthy.

Oprah Winfrey once stated, “The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.”  Having an alkaline diet leads you to become complete. It’s a feeling that most people don’t recognize in their lives.

The alkaline diet is the next step for you to “evolve in the complete person you were intended to be.”

So take the first step and buy and eat a vegetable today.  Then tomorrow do it again.  You’ll soon develop a habit of eating healthier and you’ll soon become a whole new person.  Additionally, you should learn about alkaline water.

What will an Alkaline Body Really Give Me?

An alkaline body has a balanced internal pH.  pH is the measure of concentrated hydrogen ions in a solution.  Research has shown that alkaline-balanced bodies tend to be more resilient against poor digestion, constant fatigue, excess weight, daily aches and pains, low energy, and much more.

The nutrients found in foods have been a critical piece of optimal health.  This was made known by the Surgeon General back in 1988. “Foods contain nutrients essential for normal metabolic function, and when problems arise, they result from imbalances in nutrient intake and from harmful interaction with other factors.  For the two out of three adults Americans who do not smoke and do not drink excessively, one personal choice seems to influence long-term health prospects more than any other; what we eat.”  (from the 1988 “Surgeon General’s Report on Health and Nutrition”)

Since our typical diet consists of mostly acidic foods,  our body has to offset the acidity by drawing upon alkaline-based mineral reserves, such as calcium and magnesium.  Calcium is most commonly found in the bones, and magnesium is located in muscle tissue.

Through an alkaline diet, our bodies become balanced.  An alkaline body eats 70-80% alkaline-rich foods each day, plus drinks alkaline water.  The remaining 20-30% is from acidic foods.  It’s important to know that eating the right amount of acidic foods is part of a healthy alkaline body diet.  It’s okay to have a cheeseburger or pizza every now and then.    You just need to monitor the amount of acidity that is consumed each day.

Through proper balance, an alkaline body achieves the ability to resist poor health.

Would you like to experience better digestion, clearer skin, leaner figures, less pain, and more energy?  Then why don’t you give it a try?  If you alkalize your body, you may be amazed at what happens.  It also has clearer skin, smoother digestion, less aches and pains, and more energy.

There are many tools for achieving an alkaline body.  It’s not hard to do.  You just need to take the first step.

So tomorrow, take some time and think about having an alkaline body.  What would that mean to you?  Imagine feeling healthy and fresh, light, and energetic.  This is what an alkaline body gives you.

Aim to set good habits with regards to the type of foods eaten throughout the day.  Make mental note of you are eaten acidic or alkaline rich foods.  This will help you to create a good mental mindset regarding the importance of having an alkaline body.

To Your Success in developing your very own alkaline body.

The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Economists have known for a long time that attractive people get paid more than unattractive people.  A study done by Harvard and Wesleyan Universities confirmed this recently.  They found that attractive people are perceived to be more self confident and having better communications skills.

In a study, it was noticed that attractive people leave a more powerful impression during an interview process, especially with the increased use of photo and video resumes.

Surveys have shown that attractiveness is determined by proximity, physical characteristics, abilities and confidence, and common interests.

With employment and attractiveness, being able, confident, and having common interests to your employer make all the difference.  They will sense your passion for activities that they are interested in and could reward your for it.
