Balancing your body’s pH is a key part of maintaining overall good health. Once you know how important it is to nurture a healthy pH level in your body, there’s no going back.
PH stands for “Potential of Hydrogen,” and references the concentration of hydrogen present at the time of testing. PH is a measurement of alkalinity and acidity. If a solution has a low pH, the more acidic it is. The higher the pH, the more alkaline the solution. The ‘perfect’ pH level for a healthy human body is considered to be an alkaline pH of 7.4.
America’s Acidic Diet
But there’s a problem. The modern American diet is acidic. Soda, sugar, alcohol, processed foods, preserved and fresh meat are all acidic, and there’s a lot of that stuff in the average diet. To help support a healthy pH level, we all need to eat more fresh vegetables and fruit, less meat and definitely less packaged and processed foods. We also need to drink less soda, and more water.
So, the good news is that while we may be unconsciously acidifying our bodies, we can do something about it and help to introduce healthful alkalinity.
Avoid Bottled Alkaline Water
One awesome way of doing this is to drink alkaline water. It’s a powerful alkaline agent that’s supremely bioavailable, and it tastes good too. Bottled alkaline water is expensive, an eco-nightmare and very limited in terms of how much it can influence your pH levels.
The very best way to drink alkaline water is from a water ionizer. Your tap water flows into the unit and is subjected to the process of electrolysis to separate the water into acidic and alkaline streams, ready to drink.
Alkaline Water from a Water Ionizer
The best water ionizers are the top-of-the-range multi-taskers, the ones that filter out the pretty scary things in our tap water; provide therapeutic molecular hydrogen AND help your body to rebalance its pH levels.
A bit of thorough research is needed: there are some less powerful machines - those with fewer, and solid plates - that still swing a mighty price tag.
At the other end of the scale, Tyent water ionizers are competitively priced, but hard to beat on the key ‘must haves’ of superb filtration AND plate performance (Tyent plates are solid/mesh hybrid for more surface area = more electrolysis power).
