Lesson #1: The Importance of an Alkaline Diet

Hello and welcome to your complementary crash course on alkaline water and water ionizers!

If you're ready to learn about the healthiest drinking water on the planet, and exactly how to tap into it right in your own home (even with awful source water!), then you've come to the right place.

In this series of emails, you will learn everything you need to know about alkaline water, its effects, and how to best use it in your lifestyle.  Also, you'll learn all about the variety of machines and filters we offer, as well as how to choose the best one for you.

Even if you know nothing about pH, ORP, alkaline water, or water ionizers, you will get the education you need to make a smart decision for your health and wellness.  Whether or not you ultimately get involved with a water ionizer is up to you. 

Our goal is to make sure that if you do choose to purchase an ionizer or other filter, you'll be making an educated decision and turn into another satisfied customer.

Lesson #1: Alkalinity and You

“How an Alkaline Diet Can Improve Your Health”

Most people hear about water ionizers for one reason – they're interested in drinking alkaline water.  Books like “Alkalize Or Die” by Theodore Baroody have recently become popular due to a growing awareness of the benefits of alkaline water. 

So what is this growing trend all about?  What really is the importance of an alkaline diet?

Well, the human body finds its natural balance at a pH of 7.3.  We'll get further into pH in our next lesson, but for now, just know that pH 7.0 means something is neutral, above 7.0 means it is alkaline, and below 7.0 means it is acidic.

This means that our body is NATURALLY alkaline in its composition.  This is a balance that is maintained at all costs by our body processes.  Meaning our bodies will always be working to keep our blood at 7.3 pH. The more acidic food/drink/substances that we feed into our body, the harder our body has to work to maintain this alkaline balance.  The harder we make our body work, the more easily illnesses can form as a result.

Studies have been done to show that almost ALL of today's most common health issues can be linked to a combination of dehydration and over-acidity of a person's diet.  Illnesses like chronic headaches, diabetes, obesity, acne, indigestion, and numerous others have all been individually linked to this lack of balance in the body.

By maintaining a well-hydrated alkaline diet, you're helping your body in truly countless ways.

So when we're looking into an alkaline diet, what are the key foods to avoid?

Soda is the absolute worst thing you can put in your body.  Sodas have been measured at a pH of 2.3, acidic enough to dissolve human teeth!  It can take up to 28 glasses of 7.0 pH natural water to balance out the acidic consequences of one glass of soda. 

Other common acidic foods are fatty, greasy foods, particularly red meat and certain nuts.

Foods that are great to eat would include many of your green vegetables, certain fruits, certain fish, and certain teas.  For a more extensive list of alkaline and acidic foods, check out this chart:

Now I know what you may be thinking.  “I'm not going to change my entire diet!  That's too hard and no fun.”  Don't worry, I'm the same way!  But by taking out key acidic elements of your diet (like removing soda), and having a diet rich in alkaline water from a water ionizer, it becomes very easy to start living a far more balanced lifestyle.  It's not hard at all.

I personally began feeling more energetic, seeing a faster recovery after my workouts, and simply enjoying an overall better mood after achieving the alkaline balance in my body.  Let me tell you, it's worth it!

Well, that's it for today's lesson.  Congratulations!  You're through one fifth of the course.  Tomorrow we'll be going in-depth on the topics of pH and ORP.  We'll discuss what they really mean, and how you can improve your health and well being by understanding how these two elements are affecting your body every day.

Talk to you soon!
