The therapeutic qualities of water
One of the most important aspects of being healthy is to have the correct acid/alkaline level in the blood. It is often overlooked when health problems are addressed. The human body is perpetually in a changing state between acid and alkaline and is continually working to maintain an ideal ph level of between 7.3 and 7.6.
It all depends on you. The way you think, your choices of food, how much good quality water you drink and the type of environment you live in. Be aware that stress, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, toxic overload, environmental pollutants, refined and processed foods, smoking cigarettes all contribute to an acidic body.
The body leaches sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium from bones, vital organs, muscle and connective tissue to buffer against the acidic environment. The result of this is often a mineral deficiency with initial signs evident as muscle cramps, spasms, dehydration and poor nervous systems transfer.
Both acid and alkaline forming foods are required in the body for optimal nutrition and to maintain ph homoeostasis. To restore health, consumption of 80% alkaline forming foods to 20% acid forming foods is recommended, whereas to maintain health a 60 yo 40 ratio is adequate.
Why is magnesium in water?
The USA National Institute of Health (NIH) is the world’s leading medical research organisation and it spends over 27 billion dollars (US) annually on health research. According to (NIH), magnesium is essential to good health and is needed for more than 300 Biochemical reactions in the body.
It helps in the following areas: Muscle and nerve functions, heart rhythm, strengthens the immune system and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps to regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein sysnthesis.
There is an increased interest in the role of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Drinking healthy water, such as Evalife, can help to neautralise acid, prevent hangovers and headaches and is a rich source of magnesium for the body.
Why Bicarbonate in water?
It is considered by international nutrition experts that dietary bicarbonate enhances the natural capacity of the body and may correct acidosis that occurs commonly in people consuming a Western diet.
It is considered that dietary bicarbonate may help the body retain calcium, may prevent calcium loss, may restore potassium balance and may correct the other effects of acidosis. It will also help athletes neautralise the effects of lactic acid that builds up during extensive exercise.
Why magnesium and bicarbonate together in water?
There is scientific and medical evidence throughout the world that people demonstrate increased longevity if they consume magnesium and bicarbonate in alkaline drinking water.
I wouldn’t have thought all those elements in our drinking water would be so beneficial.
