Alkaline Water - Is it for you?

Why Alkaline Water

The body’s pH level is the measure of the acidity or alkalinity. The pH (potential hydrogen) scale runs from zero to 14, with 7 as the neutral mid-point. Liquids with a pH of 1 are very acidic, and liquids with a pH of 13 are very alkaline. 

Our bodies are naturally a bit on the higher side but Alkaline water advocates believe that, due to the foods we eat and our lifestyles, most people are operating with chronic low-grade acidosis.

 Acidosis is a condition that may be associated with poor health outcomes including heart problems, altered hormonal status, and the loss of muscle or bone, premature aging, slow metabolism, lower immune system, which then allows our bodies to become a breeding ground for many ailments including cancer.

They believe that because alkaline water has a higher pH that it helps to increase the body’s pH levels.

The only issues that I have found that anyone talks about is whether or not it actually works and the opposition says that there are not official studies to back up the claims. 

There may not be a lot of official governmental studies on it but there are many, many testimonials from people who say it helped them in amazing ways with all sorts of ailments from blurry vision, to urinary and intestinal problem all the way up to the big one, cancer and they swear by it. Not just them but their cats, their dogs and even their plants.

Plus the idea that acidosis is detrimental to your health is not a new idea it just was not widely accepted until recently and has been studied and is an accepted belief now in the medical world.

According to NCBI, USgovernmental scientific research site-

“The idea that “being too acid” contributes to disease susceptibility, especially cancer, has been around for a long time in the natural/integrative medicine world. This concept was easily discounted by conventional medicine as measuring blood pH on various types of diets showed no change.

Up until about 10 years ago, no research existed to counter this skepticism. However, since then, a growing body of research has documented not only that “acidosis” is a real phenomenon, but that it is now known to contribute to a wide range of diseases, such as metabolic syndrome, cancer, osteoporosis, kidney stones, and increased susceptibility to environmental toxins—and new research is adding to the list.” [1]
