Alkaline drinking water

For the complex systems in our bodies to function effectively, we need to maintain a delicate balance of the acid/alkaline levels throughout our organs and tissues. Apart from a few areas in the digestive system, most of the body operates optimally in an alkaline state. In particular, the blood must be kept at a slightly alkaline pH level.

A weakened, acidic system makes our bodies prone to diseases. Excess acidity causes the body to stockpile acids in fatty deposits rather than processing them at such high levels through our livers and kidneys. Obesity has become an ally of excess acidity.

Cholesterol and crystallised uric acid are solidified acids that have been dumped in the body for later removal. This happens because of the high levels of acidic activity consistently being introduced into our systems.

Alkalising with Food

Many persons enlist the help of alkaline water to maintain optimal alkaline to acid ratio as it is very difficult to maintain this balance with just the foods we eat. Drinking alkaline water can provide a solution to maintaining optimum pH levels in our bodies.

For persons who are constantly on the move, like athletes, a healthy alkaline level in the body gives it the capacity to carry more oxygen. ALKAVIDA is an alkalised drinking water that helps promote alkalinity in the body and can help to restore the pH balance that is so critical for optimal health.

Acid Effects

Acid coagulates our blood leading to clogged capillaries which contribute to the skin getting fewer nutrients, thereby drying out and wrinkling.

All organs work to keep the blood's pH above seven; below this level, the body can lapse into a coma and die.

As the body's major conduit of nutrients, the blood needs to be in a state that resists the development of harmful organisms while remaining friendly to the nutrients it carries.

pH imbalance in our bodies is believed to be the cause of many illnesses. It occurs in our nutritional, electrical, structural, toxicological and biological elements, allowing germs to flourish. Maintaining a slightly alkaline blood pH has a healing effect. Imbalance also promotes the proliferation of microforms (germs) that digest glucose, fats and proteins and deposit toxic waste in our bodies.

pH balance determines the level of mineral absorption. Minerals facilitate the conduction of electricity in our bodies (important for an effective nervous system which monitors and supports the cells and organs in our bodies). Imbalance in the pH levels will prevent essential minerals from being absorbed by the body. The non-absorption of minerals such as iodine (for the thyroid) has been connected to arthritis, heart attacks, depression, diabetes, cancer, obesity and fatigue.

The more acidic the body, the more it retains harmful minerals such as mercury which may be linked to diseases such as Alzheimer's.

Restoring pH balance has resulted in detoxifying results such as improved bowel movement, etc.
