There
has been much discussion over the past few years about the quality
of the water we drink and the effects that this may have on our
health. Many health experts believe that the low-quality of tap
water in the UK can pose health concerns, particularly if we
rely upon this as our main source of water when consuming the
recommended 3+ litres each day.
As a result, millions have turned to bottled water - creating
a £1.57 billion market in just one generation. However,
with prices constantly on the rise, and serious question marks
over quality (is it really any better than tap water) - individuals
are now looking to increase the quality of water in their own
home.
The Gift of Pure, Living Water
Water is one of the most important factors when becoming and
staying healthy and vibrant. Our bodies are 70% water and our
blood is 94% water - if we follow the recommendation to drink
at least three litres of water per day and this water is acid
and polluted - imagine what this will do to our bodies?!
As the majority of the foods we eat create acid wastes in our
system, it is important to drink pure, alkaline water in order
to maintain a optimal health and energy, particularly as acid
water
(less
than pH 7.0) is a hotbed of microorganisms, bacteria and viruses.
Acid wastes (from the lifestyles we lead - not only from food
and drink, but also from stress and other pollutants) are dumped
into the bloodstream and lymph, and then are transported to the
liver and kidneys for the detoxification processing and elimination.
The pH level of our internal fluids affects every living cell
in our bodies and the effect that over-acidification can have
upon the health of our bodies is immense, with a chronically
over acidic pH creating an extremely negative environment which
affects all cellular functions from the beatings of the heart
to the neural workings of the brain.
In order to hydrate your body optimally, you need to drink water
that is alkaline and mineral rich. Alkaline water helps to neutralize
acids and remove toxins from the body. Alkaline water also acts
as a conductor of electrochemical activity from cell to cell.
Ideally, water should have a ph between 9 and 10, and you should
be drinking 3-4 liters of it daily. As you hydrate your body
properly, you’ll develop more of a thirst for water. Food
cravings are often the body’s cry for water. You might
already have more of a thirst than you even realize.
Where Can We Find Alkaline, Pure Water?
There are several methods for making our water more alkaline. The
first step is to purify the water using either a distiller or
an ioniser. You can find more information on distillers
and ionisers in our full resource.
Further to this, the alkalinity of the water can be increased
by using pH drops such as the Alkalive
pH Booster. Products such as these are extremely
effective as they structure and cluster the water for optimal
absorption, alkalise the water to an optimal pH of 9.5 and
infuse your body with charged ions.
