Proper pH Balance and drinking alkaline water are key to vibrant health and energy. Proper nutrition is the foundation of pH balance. A healthy, energetic, and vibrant body is one that is pH balanced. If your body is too acidic, it can become tired, sick, and even diseased. The first step to pH balancing should be drinking alkaline, structured, mineral-rich water. Sung Bong, author of History Alkaline Water Maker, states that the Japanese discovered alkaline water (or even ionized) was the best water to drink. Alkaline water was first used in agriculture to treat plants and animals. Medical professionals eventually began to experiment on the human body.
Research
After these experiments were completed, Japanese doctors determined that alkaline water, which is ionic and structured, was the best form of water for the body. They also found that it relieved many symptoms of adult disease. Japanese hospitals started to use water-ionizers to treat their patients. The Japanese Health and Rehabilitation Ministry approved the water ionizer as a medical device for improving health and rehabilitation on January 15, 1966. In Korea, Japanese-made water Ionizers were introduced in the 1970’s. Today they are approved by the government of South Korea as medical devices.
They were introduced to the United States in 1985. These water ionizers can be expensive and can cost as high as $1000. You can also use pH drops to make your water alkaline instead of a water ionizer. The Japanese categorize human diseases into two categories: contagious diseases and adult diseases. Adult degenerative diseases are not contagious and can be caused by aging. These include diseases such as cancer, heart disease and hardening of arteries, diabetes, arthritis and gout. Many believe that acid wastes, poor blood circulation, and poor cell activity are the main causes of adult diseases. These adult diseases are caused due to too much acid in the body. According to Japanese doctors, the ‘cure’ will not be permanent unless the treatment actually removes the acids from the body. Even if the medicine was successful in removing the acid from the affected area of the body, it would spread to other parts of the body and cause side effects. Medical researchers are searching for a cure for every type of disease. None of these drugs decrease the body’s acidity. Most pharmaceutical drugs are acidic.
Acid Base Balance
Proper functioning of cells is crucial for human health. Every living cell breathes, eats and multiplies. It also releases metabolic wastes. These wastes are usually acidic. Many microorganisms live in harmony with human cells, creating a lot of acidic material. All foods are metabolized in the human body, creating acidic substances. Amino acids are the end products of digestion of proteins; fats are fatty acid and carbs are the lactic or carbonic acid. Human blood pH is stable, slightly alkaline, -7.4. Any changes in blood pH can lead to the death of the brain, heart, and lungs, and cause the whole organism to be destroyed. The kidneys, liver, liver, pancreas, and many other organs and systems make a lot of effort to maintain slightly alkaline -7.4 blood pH by removing acidic substances.
Human blood also contains bicarbonate buffer and minerals that neutralize acids, to preserve life. Problems arise when too much acidity is created in the body, and when organs responsible for removing acidic chemicals become weak and sick. Acidity can build up in the body if this happens. The medical term for whole body acidity is metabolic acidosis. Scientists are concerned that metabolic acidosis has been increasing in epidemic proportions over the past decade, leading to many chronic diseases, aging and cancer. Our genes are to blame.
Body Acidity
The more acidity in the body, the more damage it causes to the main alkaline digestive organs, such as liver and pancreas. The liver produces alkaline-alkaline bile and the pancreas makes pancreatic juice, which is the most alkaline solution for the body. Acidic biochemical changes in the pancreatic juice, bile, and other digestive systems can occur when the body’s acid-base equilibrium shifts toward acidity. This can lead to many chronic digestive disorders. Basic chemistry reveals that more acidity equals less alkalinity, and vice versa. The pH can be used to determine the acid-base balance in the solution. pH greater than 7.0 indicates alkalinity and pH less than 7.0 indicates acidity. Pancreatic digestive enzymes can only work in an alkaline environment if the alkalinity drops below 7.0.
Pancreatic digestive enzymes can digest more than half the proteins and 90% of carbohydrates. Indigestible food builds up in the gut. It can be fermented by bacteria or yeasts. This can cause gas, bloating and abdominal cramps. The body attempts to eliminate these toxic, indigested foods pieces by bringing them to the mouth. This can cause nausea, vomiting, and heartburn. These indigested foods can cause diarrhea, constipation and flatulence as well as inflammation and abdominal pain. Indigestion can also lead to a shortage of essential vitamins and substances. Acidic bile, pancreatic juice, and sphincter Oddi become very aggressive, irritating ducts, duodenum, and sphincter. This causes wrong traffic – refluxes.
Spasmodic Contractions
This causes spasmodic contractions in the ducts, duodenum, and stomach, and can even cause esophagitis. It can lead to inflammation, ulcers and severe heartburn. Pancreatitis is caused by improper reflux of acidic bile to the pancreatic tube. How can we restore the acid-base balance? This can be achieved by providing the body with minerals and bicarbonate through alkaline foods, healing water, and cellular magnesium-potassium. My EBook, Healthy Pancreas and Healthy You, contains many practical advices on this topic. Although there is a lot of information available on alkaline diet, the benefits of drinking healing mineral water are not well-known to the American public.
Contrary to popular belief, Europeans consume mineral water in healing mineral spas and at home using authentic Karlovy Vary thermal salt for hundreds of year. Karlovy Vary, a small Czech Republic town, attracted people with its healing thermal spring water for over 500 years. This water has helped millions of Europeans with metabolic, digestive, and liver diseases like diabetes, gout, and other metabolic diseases like gout, gout, and obesity.
Final Tip
You can also take mineral supplements to obtain essential minerals like cellular magnesium potassium. These minerals promote alkalinity in the bile, pancreatic juice, and cellular magnesium is deficiency. Colon hydrotherapy, herbs and infrared saunas, massage, fresh vegetable blends, and juices all help to remove toxins and restore acid-base balance.
