Our body’s pH levels (acid-alkaline) can have a negative or positive effect on every organ and cell. Prolonged acidic imbalances of any kind can overwhelm us, and lead to health complications.

Just as the body regulates its temperature rigidly, it also works hard to manage a healthy pH range – especially in our blood. The body tries to maintain a blood pH of 7.35, and in doing so, it creates internal stress on other tissues, body systems, and organs. Chronic acidity interrupts all cellular activities and functions; it interferes with life itself. Proper pH balance is essential for our bodies and requires us to be more alkaline than acidic.

Water is a contributing factor in establishing and maintaining a proper acid-alkaline balance. Since our body is 50-75% water, it is imperative to replenish our supply of water regularly. Our body loses 2.5 liters (84.53 ounces) of water daily, and we need to replace it.

The quality of our water is an essential part of our health and plays a role in life and death, as does the quantity we consume. The water we drink must be able to help us prevent chemical substances and toxins from growing and damaging cells within our bodies. It must transport minerals and nutrients required for cell metabolism and remove any elements that can harm cells. Ideally, the water we drink should have a pH between 8 and 10. The amount we drink depends on our body size, climate, and our exercise regimen.

To hydrate our bodies optimally, we need to drink water that is alkaline. It will help us to neutralize stored acids and toxins and remove them from our bodies. Alkaline water containing minerals also acts as a conductor of electrochemical activity from cell to cell. Reports from studies suggest that it may help our bodies fight sickness and the aging processes by:
