The Acid-Alkaline Balance - What You Need to Know
Your body's ideal pH (a measure of acid/alkaline balance) must generally be slightly alkaline, from 7.
2 to 7.
4 to be in good health.
The highly acid forming standard American diet (SAD) creates excess acidic toxins in your body that can result in health problems like diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and obesity.

Through the process of electrolysis, a water ionizer splits water into two streams, alkaline and acidic.
The alkaline stream contains more negatively charged hydroxyl ions (-OH) and the acidic stream contains more positively charged hydrogen ions (+H).
Healthy minerals like calcium stay in the alkaline water while unhealthy minerals such as fluoride are removed in the acid water during this process.
Like earthquakes, pH is measured on a logarithmic scale.
A good water ionizer can generate a pH of 10 (depending on the water source), which can contain a MILLION times more hydroxyl ions than in an extremely acidic beverage like soda.
Water with a pH between 7.
0 and 11, or alkaline water is ideal for drinking, cooking and cleaning vegetables.
Water with a pH between 2.
5 and 6.
9, is considered acidic and can be used as a natural cleanser, skin/hair toner and sanitizer..
Your body needs acidic hydrogen ions, but an excess amount can result in a negative effect on your body.
Positively charged hydrogen ions are highly reactive and will rapidly connect with negatively charged ions.
Proteins typically contain several negatively charged alkaline molecules.
pH, at an acidic level can alter the ionization of a protein, which may destroy its normal function.
Fresh organic foods are alkaline in nature, or "alkaline-forming," meaning that it stimulates your body's process of creating bicarbonates that can be used to neutralize acidic toxins.
Alkaline water and alkaline forming foods have a high "pH" that assists your body in maintaining a healthier acid/alkaline balance.
Eating alkaline-forming foods or drinking alkaline water helps your body create bicarbonates that neutralize acidic toxins in your blood and cells, ultimately helping your body maintain a healthy acid/alkaline balance.
A body that lacks bicarbonates will steal them elsewhere, such as your bones.
This could contribute to diseases like osteoporosis.
Around the age of 45, our bodies begin to lose its ability to create bicarbonates to neutralize excess acids created by aging, pollution, a poor diet and stress.
By age 90 we lose about 18% of our critical bicarbonates.
Insufficient bicarbonates limit our body's ability to neutralize and eliminate the acids our body produces when we metabolize carbohydrates for energy - which may be one of the causes of aging.
Most of us start showing symptoms of osteoporosis, diabetes and other degenerative disease around the age of 45.
Maximizing the availability of bicarbonates in our blood increases the ability to neutralize acids and reduce the risk of degenerative diseases associated with excess acidic toxins! 45 is also the age when it becomes much more difficult to lose weight! Dr.

When our bodies cannot rid itself of toxins, it stores them by binding to fat.
