Water is used for cleaning all waste and pollutants, especially in the body.

Water is an element that is required for maintaining health and life. Our body is made up of millions of cells. These are tiny fluid-filled aquatic organisms, moving in a sea of body fluid.

Water comprises 55% to 70% of body fluids. Water and food are digested differently by the body. It is absorbed almost immediately upon entering the body and is excreted through perspiration, respiration, feces, and urine. Electrolytes in water are the "nutrients" that allow fluid to be balanced intracellular and extracellular. They allow fluid movement intercellular. Water is the key to chemical reactivity in the body. The electrolytes in the water enable us to maintain the proper ratio of fluids in our bodies. The electrolyte molecules form two components: ACID forming anions and ALKALINE forming cations. The acid forming anions are negatively charged particles. The alkaline forming cations are positively charged particles.

For life to be maintained, the body needs a pH of ( 7.30 to 7.40 ) in the bloodstream. If you are testing your saliva using a Litmus test strip, the value should be 7.0 - 7.1. If you are testing your pH via a urine sample using a Litmus test strip, the value should be around 6.4 - 6.6, slighlty acidic. The urine will be slightly acidic because the body is continually detoxing acids from the body. ( The pH factor is determined by the balance of acid and alkaline in the body. In today’s environment, we all have systems that are more acid than alkaline. When the system is acid, the body is using valuable nutrients, such as calcium, potassium, sulfur, and magnesium. Calcium is primarily stored in the bones. Cells and tissues also give up the other nutrients to balance the acid and alkaline in our bodies. This debilitating process can cause disease and premature aging. However, we can change this situation for ourselves as individuals. WATER, the key to life and health, can be used to relieve this situation!!! We are not just talking about ordinary water, but water that has been pH adjusted and with a balanced blend of electrolytes, providing our bodies with the pH balance necessary to maintain better health. Using AlkaPro™ over even a short period of time will help us in health maintenance and assist in ridding the body of many toxins and diseases that have been brought on by over-acidic fluid conditions in the body. Most of the "aging" diseases are related to the over acidic condition of the body.

Today's diets include fast food, prepared foods, sodas, and usually not enough fruit and vegetables. To counteract that we suggest drinking water, at least 5 glasses per day, with a high alkaline pH. Additionally, cooking with a water in which the pH has been raised can aid in buffering the acids in some foods, such as rice. For mixed drinks, if you add a high pH water to liquor, such as scotch, then the drink becomes alkaline. Many claim that hangovers become a thing of the past. When acid reducing pH balancing concentrates are added to wine, the pH is raised, and the body is better able to tolerate the acid in the drink.

At birth, our body contains approximately 97% water. During the aging process dehydration occurs slowly. At middle age, 70% of body weight is water. The loss of water continues as we grow older in all of our tissues. Wrinkling is caused by this water loss, and it is easy to see the effects in this way. We eat very differently today than our ancestors did. Protein intake is higher and carbohydrates, which do not come from whole grains, have become a staple. Sugar intake is greatly increased. Sugar, refined carbohydrates and high levels of protein increase acidity in our bodies. Many of us do not drink water and if we do it is not normally enough. Many believe that coffee, tea, soda, juice and other liquid beverages cansubstitute for water. EVERY SUBSTANCE INGESTED HAS A PH UNIQUE TO THAT SUBSTANCE.

Municipal water generally has a pH range of ( 7.4 - 8.6 ). Food found in the American diet normally has a pH range between 2.5 - 7.5. In order to balance low pH food and beverage we need to drink water with higher pH ranges. Every thing involving pH is exponential in nature. That means that if we eat fast food, we will require a couple of glasses of water high in pH ( 9.0 - 11.0 )to offset the negative effects on our body. Carbonated beverages, especially colas, create a high level of acidity. Many of us have heard the stories about cola cleaning rust off of bolts, removing spots from chrome bumpers, and loosening grease stains from clothing. Imagine what the effects are in the body! It takes approximately 32 glasses of high pH water to counteract the acid effects of one can of cola in the body.

We require oxygen to live and much of the oxygen in our body comes from water. We absorb oxygen molecules from the water. Carbonated beverages impart more carbon dioxide and less oxygen. Water gives our bodies the oxygen we need and creates the ability to dissolve nutrients in the blood and body fluids. Enzymes, hormones, and coenzymes dissolve in the body fluids and then act on metabolites (amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals), which are then similarly dissolved. Water, the universal solvent, acts in the body on waste - urea, carbon dioxide, and various electrolytes - so that we can excrete the waste from our bodies.

We have become a more health conscious nation over the last 30 years, and companies selling water and water machinery are thriving. Since water is the basis of life and good health, we need to be sure we make the choices on what kind of water we drink and on how much we drink. Without high pH water we are at a decided disadvantage. What kinds of water are available today? While city water is usually safe from contaminates and well regulated, it does contain lots of undesirable elements such as chlorine and high levels of fluoride. Many of us are concerned about some of the chemicals and other substances in that water and it is probably a good idea to own a filtering system for your home. For those of you who own one, be sure to change the filters in a timely manner to avoid bacterial growth and contamination. There are some regions of the country where owning a filter is more critical than other parts of the country. Also, we need to add the electrolytes into the water after we filter it. AlkaPro™ will do that.

Well water requires analysis and treating the water will depend upon the test results. Some spring water is excellent for your health, but some isn’t. Bottled water remains highly unregulated or under-regulated. We suggest caution when purchasing bottled water. There are many good brands on the market, but there are also bottlers who do not test for toxic materials and heavy metals. We have found Mountain Valley Spring Water to be well regulated. Water that has been distilled or gone through reverse osmosis has little value to our bodies. This water is “dead” water, as it contains no minerals or dissolved oxygen. If you ingest this type of water over a period of time, your body will leach calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium into your bloodstream to make up for the continued depletion of these necessary nutrients for maintaining life. Adding AlkaPro™ to distilled or r/o water allows the body to properly use the water. AlkaPro™ also contains MSM and Bioflavonoids. This is an advantage over other products in the market because MSM is natural sulfur, which is the fifth most prevalent mineral in the body at birth and is gradually lost as we age. The Bioflavonoids act as a potentiating factor in the formula.

The important thing about any water we drink, is the acid and alkaline balance of the water. There are two methods of producing an acid neutralizing water. The first method is by using a water ionizer. The second method is by using AlkaPro™ acid neutralizing drops. First, let’s discuss the benefits of the water ionizer. This machine creates a chemical reaction by inducing an electrical charge to a cathode and anode separated by a permeable membrane. Passing water through a special ceramic ferrite core activates the individual ions thus producing acid and alkaline water. While this method is excellent, it can be inconvenient. We might not want to carry bottles of alkaline water to work or when we travel.

AlkaPro™acid neutralizing drops are the convenient way to produce alkaline water. Available in 1.3 oz. bottles, it only takes 2 - 4 drops in each 6 - 8 oz. glass of water to benefit from the acid neutralizing effects. The high pH ( 10.5 - 11.0 ) is assisting our bodies in flushing acidic toxins and waste from our system. The alkaline water is able to assist us in utilizing the essential minerals, potassium, calcium, sodium, and magnesium, resulting in better health. Over time you will notice less problems overall with the immune systems, and better ability to digest all types of food.

The theory of balancing acid and alkaline in our bodies is ancient. In Asia, for thousands of years, people have practiced the art of balancing acid and alkaline. Macrobiotic practitioners are well versed in this balancing art. While there are those of us who would like to practice this type of diet, most of us do not have the time or knowledge to do so successfully. Additionally, most of us really love all of the foods and beverages we eat today. Changing the routine we have become accustomed to can be difficult. Practicing good dietary habits is important. But totally giving up special treats is next to impossible.

After reading the two texts mentioned above, and perhaps researching the subject, you may conclude that an alkaline diet is the best for longevity and disease prevention. Since changing the diet can be difficult, you can affect a similar condition in the body by using AlkaPro™ on a regular basis. We hope that you consider the facts and try AlkaPro™ . The first few days, you will notice that you may spend more time in the bathroom. Do not be alarmed. Your body is beginning to flush acidic wastes from your system. You will eliminate solid wastes from your body only hours after you have eaten after you have been takingAlkaPro™ for an extended period of time. Your body will begin to absorb all of the essential nutrients from the food and will eliminate waste quickly. Your digestive tract will become much cleaner and disease free. Your immune system will improve and your ability to fight a cold will improve. Those of you with conditions such as arthritis will notice a reduction in its effects on your body.
