How Important Is pH, really?
What is pH?pH stands for "potentiometric hydrogen ion concentration," which essentially refers to the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Most substances that we encounter on a daily basis range within the pH scale from 1.0 (highly acidic, such as battery acid) to 14.0 (highly alkaline, such as lye). A substance with a pH of 7.0 (freshly distilled water, for example) would be considered "neutral."
pH and Your Body
A healthy body is slightly alkaline, with a pH around 7.4. Your body always strives to maintain this important pH balance. But when a body becomes too acidic, either from eating too many acid-producing foods (processed food, meat, dairy, artificial sweeteners) or from consuming too few alkaline-producing foods (such as fresh fruit and vegetables), your body's ability to balance pH levels becomes impaired. This is when illness occurs.
What happens if I become too acidic?
If your body becomes too acidic, you become much more susceptible to disease and conditions, including: acid reflux, heartburn, obesity, fibromyalgia, lack of energy, digestive problems, seasonal and food allergies, arthritis (and other problems with the bones and joints), hyperactivity, ADD, ADHD, some mental disorders, PMS, acne, assorted respiratory problems, memory loss, loss of concentration, muscle problems, yeast infections, skin conditions, insomnia, impotence, ear aches, excess mucous, headaches, panic attacks, and more.
What kind of research has been done on pH levels in the body?
Extensive research has been performed with scientific studies dating as far back as 1912 when Nobel Prize winner Dr. Alexis Carrel was able to keep cells from a chicken's heart alive and reproducing for 28 years (chickens normally live just 8 years) simply by managing the pH of the water solution these cells were bathed in -- cleaning away the acid waste and maintaining a fresh supply of water. The study concluded that high levels of acidity are the primary cause of cell death. In 1933, a New York physician named William Howard Hay published the ground-breaking book, "A New Health Era" in which he maintains that all disease is caused by autotoxication (or "self-poisoning") due to acid accumulation in the body. More recently, Theodore A. Baroody, N.D., D.C., Ph.D. states this in his blockbuster book, "Alkalize or Die" : "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." These are just three examples of the accredited findings of the scientific need to maintain proper pH levels in the body.
How can I become more alkaline?
Several treatment modalities are available including dramatic changes in diet and nutrition, as well as supplementation with herbal remedies. However, the fastest, simplest way to bring the body's pH back into balance is by drinking slightly alkalized water. Because at least 70% of the body is comprised of water, replacing your current water intake with alkalized drinking water can produce rapid, dramatic improvements in your overall health.
Are there any adverse affects of drinking alkalized water?
People who drink alkalized water -- even without making any dietary or nutritive changes in their food intake -- typically see marked improvement in their overall health, including the elimination of many types of disease and chronic conditions. When switching from tap or bottled water to alkalized water, some individuals may initially experience detox symptoms such as common cold symptoms, more frequent elimination of urine and feces, minor skin conditions such as acne, etc. These symptoms are typically mild and do not last for more than a few days, a clear indication of the body's detoxification status as it purges acidic waste that may have accumulated over a lifetime.
