I call it balancing out your body!It is amazing how this can improve a lot of your body functions! It has helped me tremendously!!
Alkaline Water-has a higher pH level than regular drinking water. It is believed that it can neutralize the acid in your body.
Alkaline water can balance the body's acidity to help reach a healthy pH level. The typical number is 7.4, which is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. Any number below 7 is considered acidic, and anything above is considered alkaline; 7 is considered neutral.
Our bodies are excellent at controlling our pH levels without any help, if you eat a healthy diet. Processed foods and foods high in animal proteins are more likely to increase acidity levels and throw off your digestive system; throwing off your balance. A good pH balance can heal the body and mind.
The digestive system is impacted with excess acid, which can cause: acid reflux, indigestion, bloating, and other ailments. Alkaline water is one way to help manage that balance and lower acidity in the body, especially for those suffering from gastric acid conditions.
When your body is overloaded with acidity, the respiratory and immune systems also suffer, so keeping a pH balance helps reduce the spread of germs, and helps transfer fresh oxygen to the cells.
A lot of acidity can weaken the nervous system, skeletal system and muscular system. Alkaline water can help in strengthening those body systems by keeping them in good working condition. Your complexion will also benefit. Alkaline water can help break down acidic inflammation that lead to skin conditions, such as rashes, sores, and breakouts.
You can make your own with natural ingredients:
*Clean filtered water
*Organic lemon
*Pink Himalayan salt
When these are combined, the water is more alkaline and raises the pH level.
To make a gallon (128 ounces), you need a clean gallon jug or container...
Mix in 128 ounces of clean filtered water.
Add 2 organic lemons — washed, cleaned, and cut into eighths.
Then add 2 tsp of pink Himalayan salt.
Cover and let mixture sit for 12 hours at room temperature.
Pour in glass and enjoy!
***If you have high blood pressure, I would decrease the amount of Himalayan salt to 1 tsp, 1/2 tsp, or even none. But if you only consume 1 serving a day, you should be OK, but always consult with your doctor first.
When you are first starting with alkaline water, start out with 4 ounces, then increase to 6, then 8 ounces, once a day. Introduce it to your body gradually. Once your body is used to those amounts, I would suggest 8 to 24 ounces a day (I do 24 ounces). I do this every morning!
These are just my suggestions.
***Always consult with your physician before adding any supplement to your diet***
I swear by this, but I also try and eat healthy plus exercise and walk, and I also drink a sufficient amount of water.
Enjoy!!
