Dry Skin and Hair

Chlorine is commonly used in our water for its purification value. But chlorine may generate toxic substances. Research shows that the quantity of toxic substances absorbed during a 15 minute bath or shower is equivalent to drinking 1 liter of contaminated water.


When the skin absorbs chlorine, it forms chlorine oxides, which combined with fat, leads to aging, de-pigmentation, and freckles.

The residual chlorine causes hair damage like loss of hair, split ends or change of color. The main reason is that the hydrolyzed proteins combined with chlorine take away moisture from the hair. How to make your skin and hair healthy again

Alkaline Water for High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure, or you might know it as hypertension, is a very difficult and common health disorder that can lead to strokes, kidney disease, and congestive heart failure. High blood pressure changes the structure of small arteries, making the wall of the arteries thicker and thereby making the opening, where the blood runs, smaller. This is why the pressure of the blood goes up, it has to push harder to get through the narrowed arteries.

If the blood pressure gets high enough, arteries will be destroyed and the detrimental effects of hypertension increase continuously as pressure increases including thickening of your heart, damage to your brain and eyes.

You can have had high blood pressure for years without knowing it, is a condition that can creep up on you. What can cause it?

Obesity
Obese people are 2-6 times more likely to develop high blood pressure than people whose weight is within a healthy range.

A high salt (sodium) intake
Americans consume too much salt, in fact, about 10-15 times more salt than needed. Fast food contain particularly high amounts of sodium. As well as painkillers and many over-the-counter medicines and drugs such as birth control pills, diet pills and amphetamines.

Alcohol use and lack of exercise is also linked to high blood pressure.

Medical professionals strongly recommend obese people to lose weight, and to decrease salt and alcohol intake in order to lower their blood pressure.

In the clinical study funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), researchers found that a diet rich in vegetables, fruit, dietary fiber, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, and low in dairy foods, saturated fats and cholesterol, may prevent and control high blood pressure.

They named this eating plan DASH, "Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension". When looking at this plan we can see that it is high in alkaline foods and low in acidic foods.

Alkaline Diet : Live On CBS News -- Is Your Health At Risk?

I've heard some good reviews on "The pH Miracla". In the video Dr Young talks about a lady who was diabetic but was able to heal herself by making her body more alkaline.

Three Types of Diabetes

Insulin-dependent diabetes.

The body's own immune system destroys cells that release insulin. This type is diagnosed in children and young adults. A common belief is that this form is incurable due to an irreversible pancreatic disorder which makes the person dependent on insulin injections. Other sources say that the body with a little help, is capable of healing damaged tissues and restore a normal insulin production.

Non-insulin-dependent diabetes.

The body can't make enough insulin or respond to insulin properly. This form of diabetes, which has become a common occurrence among American adults, is the result of poor eating habits, alcohol abuse and smoking.

Insulin is a hormone that allows sugar (glucose) to enter cells in the body where it's used as energy.

Insulin also helps the body to store excess sugar that it can use for energy when it needs it.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy because the body can't produce enough insulin to meet the extra needs of pregnancy.
When the sugar can't get into the cell, it starts to build up in the bloodstream.
This extra sugar in the blood upsets normal body functions and can lead to serious symptoms and sickness. If the blood sugar remains high for a long period of time, organs may take damage even if no symptoms are present. Eyes, heart, kidneys and feet are commonly affected.

These symptoms have been noted in all types of diabetes:
Excessive thirstExtreme hungerTiredness or fatigueBlurred visionNumbness or tingling in the hands and feetFrequent urination, especially at nightSlow healing of wounds According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 14.6 million children and adults in the United States who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. But ADA estimates that millions more are affected by the dis-ease.

Being overweight increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. As well as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, having family members diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, or if you have had gestational diabetes. Fortunately, it is a condition you can prevent! Studies show that just by changing your diet and increasing the level of physical activity, you can return the blood sugar to a normal, healthy range.

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) concludes that diet and exercise offers a more efficient way of delaying the development of diabetes than medications.
Exercise, your body will feel happier and healthier, and you will too!Alkalize your body! Reduce the intake of animal protein, processed foods and sugars. Fill the fridge with veggies, fruit and whole grain foods.

Why alkalize?
Acid-alkaline foods
DRINK PLENTY OF ALKALINE WATER!
The amazing benefits of alkaline water makes it well worth looking into. The only water we recommend is Kangen water

Why is an Overly Acidic Body Harmful?

First of all we need to understand this:

The natural state of our cells are slightly alkaline. In order for you to function and remain healthy and alive, these cells must maintain alkalinity. The cellular activity of the cell creates acid and this acid is what gives the cell energy and function. As each cell performs its task, it secretes acidic waste. Health issues enter the stage when these wastes builds up.
 

The human body is absolutely wonderful in its creation! If the acid is allowed to build up, our body creates defense mechanisms to protect vital organs from the acid that can damage these organs. When the body is overloaded with acid, the oxygen level drops, the sensitive balance of our blood is challenged and the body starts pulling out calcium from our bones in order to correct this imbalance. This in turn, leads to a calcium deficiency and osteoporosis with all its related health problems including obesity!
 
In the desperate mission to save your organs from damage, your body creates fat cells that can store the excess acid. Those fat cells and cellulite deposits pack up the acid in order to keep it at a safe distance from your organs. Many experience loss of this excess fat (stored acids) when they restore their body to a proper alkaline state. Unlike many diet programs that cause you to lose more muscle mass than fat.    
It is well known in the medical community that an acidic environment is a breeding ground for disease. It is also known that diseases cannot survive in an alkaline environment.

The ideal pH level of your blood must must be maintained between 7.35 - 7.45 for a healthy body. When it is below that, your body will be heavily affected and start to produce symptoms, it will start telling you about the pain it's in! Most food we eat and crave are acid forming and are a part of the over-acidification of your body. This imbalance is linked to almost every known disease. Your body will do whatever it can to maintain the blood pH levels, which includes stealing nutrients from other parts of your body.


Until now, the only way to remedy these ailments was a radical change of diet which many of us are not willing to do. But now, by changing your water, you can change your life!
