Ever wonder why some of your friends are constantly catching colds, viruses, and everything that is "going around"? Some folks simply have low immune systems which seem like a magnet for all bad bacteria and viruses to attack them. In many cases, people make themselves more prone to those attacks by drinking the wrong stuff!
Do you drink several soft drinks per day? Lot's of sweetened fruit juice? Coffee to the max? Well, let's look at what all these drinks have in common and why we need to be careful in drinking them. What do they have in common? They are all ACIDIC. The more acids (oxidants) put into our bodies, the more our bodies try to mitigate the damage to our cells and organs - because the healthiest human systems are slightly basic - the opposite of acidic.
When we constantly load our system with acids for years (as many of us do!) we are overloading our various organs which are designed to remove toxins - like the kidneys and liver. Eventually these organs have no way to fight excess toxins and they remain in the organs designed to flush them. Months and years of fighting to remove excess toxins can cause damage.
There is a positive antidote for this build-up of impurities in our body. If we make the conscious decision to ingest more anti-oxidants, we can check, or even reverse problems caused by years of oxidation from acidic food and drink! Anti-oxidant foods include; nuts, vegetables, some fruits. However, since humans are between 75 and 85% water, we can get healthier faster by changing to Alkaline Water instead of what we are now drinking. Health food stores are now stocking Alkaline Water - but for a price. If you want to have enough to cook with and drink on a regular basis, find a company which manufactures and markets equipment which can produce your own constant supply of Alkaline Water - At home! Check out various possibilties on yBoggle, including a simple remedy for having constant supplies of Alkaline Water, even when you travel!
With a home system, you can even refill sports bottles for the entire family with healthy water ...at a fraction of the cost of purchased bottled water.



Third times a charm so hope this comment sticks:)
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate how you presented just enough educated information to leave your viewers wanting more. I will be looking into this as I see it necessary for anyone with chronic health issues. Daily needed medications can cause our systems to grow too acidic leaving a need for what you bring to us.
Good Job-

Great post Alicia,
ReplyDeleteWhat we put in our bodies is VERY important. I haven't been sick enough to have to call into work the entire time I have been working there (3years)!

This is a very interesting post Alicia,
ReplyDeleteI've never really thought about the acid content of food or drink! I'm a coffee junkie so I think I'm definitely on the wrong track!
I will definitely look in to this more, thank you so much.
