Water - Imbalance pH

Water is the single most important nutrient for sustaining human life. The human body consists of three quarters of water; the muscles have 70 percent water; the blood is about 82 percent; bones contain up to 25 percent and our brain consists of 85 percent of water. While our blood is responsible for transporting nourishment to every living cell and is the key to all bodily functions. An average person requires 1.5 to 3 liters of water daily and that is under normal conditions.

Nowadays, there are some available drinking water that are sold in stores, mineral and distilled water. How do we know that this bottled water have this alkaline that we need in our body?

Alkalinity and Acidity

Alkaline substance in water basically has scale of pH 7 or greater while acidic water has scale of pH 0. Alkaline or alkalinity in water helps regulates the pH water of our body and it neutralizes acid. Over acidic body indicates calcium deficiency which cause diseases includes; cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, gall and kidney stones and more. Acidic persons usually get so tired easily, because of the imbalance of pH in their body.

What is pH

Potential of Hydrogen (pH), is the measurement of alkalinity and acidity in a solution. In the scale of 0-14 or more. 0 pH scale is acidity while 7 pH is neutral and above 7 scale is alkalinity. The more acidic the solution, our body is more susceptible to diseases.

Water Quality

Water quality can become unhealthy because of bacteria, algae, chloroform (from chlorination), nitrates and the very dangerous metals such as cadmium and aluminum. These pollutants may come from factory discharges, agriculture, sewer pipes, water mains and the acid rain.

This bottled drinking water has been purified and some of the nutrients that our body needs are wiped out so what can we do to maintain a healthy body while we are still drinking water that is available.

Test: pH

Self testing: Two types of bottled water; mineral and distilled water that I regularly buy from the stores. First I tested the distilled water; the distilled water they say that is "safe for our babies", the water turned yellow. Base on pH scale chart, yellow color means acidic and there is no more content of the trace minerals or nutrients that our body mainly needs. Yellow color indicates that it is acidic water, which causes our body weak and prone to diseases. Now for the mineral water test; the water turned blue, it indicates that the water pH is at neutral scale to safe alkalinity pH scale, but when you take toxic foods then it changes its pH scales. Let's go back to the acidic water (yellow color), the distilled water test, to contradict its effect to our body, I use an alkaline nutrient to test if can still reverse the acidity. Well what do you think happened? Yes, the water turned blue, that only means even though that the available water is acidic we can still be safe by using alkaline nutrients that neutralizes the acidity and makes it helpful to maintain our body in good healthy condition.

What to do

Do a pH test: there are kits available in the market that you can use to do this. Correcting and balancing the pH in our body is by starting from the water we intake. Daily intake of alkaline nutrients or supplements added to our drinking water, will improve and prolong a good health. Alkaline charges our body energy that can improve our health longer. Taking nutrients can sustain our body alkalinity needs. Having the right balance of alkaline neutralizes acid and safely removes it from the body. The body can suffer severely and prolonged damage due to high acidity that may be undetected for years. Try to avoid getting dehydrated, excess acids must be neutralized, our alkaline reserves are depleted and it could leave the body acidic that weakens its condition.

Drink water that contains enough alkaline to maintain our body condition well and in good health that increases body energy.

Water is life. Be aware of our drinking water contents.
