Alkaline Diet

We get old and sick because of excess acid accumulation in our body and alkaline solutions neutralize acid. Our body is alkaline and functions best when they are in an alkaline environment.

  • However, everyday life creates acid. Digestion, respiration and stress all generate acid and acidic by-products.
  • Problems can develop when the body doesn’t have enough alkaline resources and has to steal them from other parts of the body where minerals are stored such as bones, blood and tissues.

Alkaline water has neither nutritional value to give you energy nor any medicinal value to cure any disease.

  • By drinking alkaline water we increase the intake of oxygen and help neutralize the build up of acids before they are stored in the body.
  • This promotes better blood circulation, and better blood circulation helps the body heal itself.
  • Alkaline water helps rid acidic waste making them more soluble in the blood. Thus, acidic wastes will be easily drained from the body in the form of urine and sweat.

pH is a factor that has a vital effect on your blood’s capacity to uptake, carry and deliver oxygen to all parts of your body. Blood pH is highest just after it leaves your lungs, around 7.6, and lowest just before it returns to your lungs at 7.3 or a little less.

  • Along its journey, as your blood begins to give up oxygen, carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules replace the lost oxygen in the red blood cells.
  • The CO2 represents acidic waste that will be released either in the kidneys or the lungs for elimination. When oxygen is lost and replaced by CO2 in the red blood cells, the alkalinity of your blood decreases.
  • As alkalinity decreases it becomes more difficult for the red blood cells to hold the remaining oxygen, or, to put it another way, it becomes easier for your blood to release oxygen to your body.
  • There is a delicate balance between CO2 and alkalinity that must be maintained to ensure oxygen is effectively distributed.

This chart indicates the relative acidity or alkalinity of the the different components of most Americans’ diet.
