The majority of living organisms and organic substances are mainly composed of water. The pH of the human body should be around 7.4. A decrease in this level to 7 can lead to unconsciousness and even death.
Scientists have conducted experiments on healing waters from regions such as Lourdes, France, and the results indicate that these waters are alkaline. Alkaline natural waters contain other important properties such as higher oxygen levels and antioxidant properties due to the hexagonal structure of their molecules.
Our body’s pH is driven towards acidity when we consume 97% of foods and beverages containing a high amount of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. Foods such as rice, meat, carbonated beverages, and other grains like lentils, as well as all sugar-containing substances (glucose) make the body acidic. Toxins from these substances are trapped in fatty tissues and stored in the body. If the body attempts to excrete these toxins , it will put immense pressure on vital organs such as the kidneys and the liver, leading to long-term diseases of these important organs.
Water is vital, with 90% of our blood and 70% of our body weight composed of water. We need to drink enough water throughout the day to maintain our health and balance our bodies. Drinking alkaline water can neutralize the acidic environment inside the body.
For people who are overweight alkalizing the body reduces the need for fat and cholesterol to protect tissues against the corrosive effects of oxidizing acids.
