Our bodies are made up of 65 percent water, so water is extremely important for your body. Drinking plenty of water will assist you in weight loss. Cancer thrives in an acidic state and it dies in an alkaline state, thus the reason you want to consume the highest alkalinity possible, minimum 7.0 ph and if you can find 10 ph that will benefit your health tremendously. If you would like to measure the ph level of the water you usually drink, be it faucet or bottled water , you can purchase ph strips in health food stores or pharmacies.
Independent tests have concluded that Fuji and Evian brands have ph levels above 7.0. Also, water sourced from a protected source is another preferred option,that’s why I like the Crystal Geyser brand. Their spring water is obtained from protected natural spring sources and aquifers. The remote locations provide for geographical isolation and protection from man made activities to their spring sources. Crystal Geyser operators select remote spring sources , to prevent the risk of contamination from potentially harmful industrial, residential . and farming activities. In addition, they insure that locations meet specific geological criteria in order to protect acquifers and ground water resources. Crystal Geyser can be purchased at Whole Foods Stores, but the cheapest place to purchase it is Big Lots at $3 per 24 pack. You can purchase a Kangen Water Machine to make alkaline water, but it’s not cheap. For a do it your self alkaline water, just mix 1 teaspoon of organic baking soda(without aluminum) with 8 ounces of bottled water with a ph of at least 7.0. Another do yourself alkaline water, substitute baking soda with an organic lemon and squeeze 2 tablespoons of lemon juice into 8 -12 ounces of water( with a ph of at least 7.0). pH is defined as the power of hydrogen, which is a measurement of the hydrogen ion concentration in the body. The official pH scale ranges from 1 to 14, with 7 equating to neutral. A pH less than 7 is said to be acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline.
Last but not least, I wouldn’t recommend tap water, there are just too many chemicals used during the purifying process. For bathing, showering and cooking with tap water, I recommend using a shower filter, specifically a New Wave Enviro – Enviro Premium Shower Filter brand, just Google it to purchase online or purchase at Whole Foods for arond $45.
