<< Healthy Water -- Why be Alkaline?The Simplest, Most Dramatic Thing You Can Do For Your Health What if I were to tell you that there's one simple cure you can use to beat osteoporosis... fatigue... joint pain... muscle aches... brain fog... and allergies? You'd probably be skeptical. Yet it's true. It's the first thing I did to nurse myself back to health... and it's also worked on hundreds of my patients. What is it? It is simply to balance your acid and alkaline level. You see, if you suffer from any of the ailments I mentioned above, the common cause is too much acidity in your body. Neutralize this acidity, and your problems often disappear. Here's why: Almost all of the body's functions require a slightly alkaline state. This includes immunity, cardiovascular function, muscle function, brain function, tissue health, and energy output. Every minute of every day, your body works to get rid of excess acid. In fact, almost every cell of your body contains alkaline substances such as calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate. These alkaline substances neutralize the acid in your body.
In addition, your lungs regulate pH by breathing in alkaline oxygen and breathing out acidic carbon dioxide. And your kidneys filter out excess acid so that it's excreted in your urine. It's a perfectly choreographed balancing act. And it works wonders. But here's the problem: today's modern lifestyle creates a lot more acidity than your body can handle. First off, the typical American diet is filled with acid-forming foods like wheat, dairy products, red meat, sugar, and coffee. In fact, the USDA did a study and found that the average American eats six times more acidic foods than alkaline ones! And even if you eat a healthy diet, the chances are good that you're still getting too much acid. That's because even healthy stuff like citrus fruits, vitamin C, and vigorous exercise are all acid-forming! But that's not all. Frequent flying, air pollution, and over-the-counter medications all make your body acidic. And if you're under physical or mental stress (and who isn't these days!), you use more nutrients and generate more acidic waste products than your body can process and dispose of rapidly. The aging process doesn't help, either. The older we get, the harder our bodies have to work to maintain the acid/alkaline balance. For example, oxygen is essential to keeping your body alkaline. Yet your lungs' ability to take in oxygen declines one percent per year on average. It peaks for women at age 20, and by age 70, your oxygen intake is reduced by half. What's more, after mid life, your pancreas produces less of the bicarbonate that keeps your body alkaline. So what does your body do to make up for this? It starts taking calcium, magnesium, and other alkaline minerals from your bones! This happens day after day, year after year, until one day you have a bone density test and your doctor says "you have early osteoporosis." And osteoporosis is just one of the problems caused by acidity. When your joints are acidic, you have joint pain. When your muscle tissues are acidic, you feel tired and achy. When the tissues of your brain are acidic, you feel mentally foggy. And when the tissues in your respiratory tract are acidic, they release histamine, causing sneezing, sniffling, and other allergy symptoms. No wonder so many women feel lousy! But here's good news: you can reverse all these problems, simply by correcting your acid/alkaline imbalance. So how do you correct your acid/alkaline imbalance? One way is to cut down on meats, dairy, and starches, while eating more fresh vegetables. Of course, this isn't always easy to do. If you have a busy schedule, you may have to eat on the run like I do. And if, like me, you have an "empty nest" family, you're less likely to cook as often now that the kids are gone and you're cooking for just one or two people. An easy way to add alkaline to your diet is to drink Alkaline Water regularly. There are many Alkaline units on the market but the superior one with the most history and scientific studies backing its effectiveness is the Enagic machine that makes Kangen water.
