What's In Your Bottled Water?

There's a great article in the February issue of Reader's Digest on the hazards of drinking bottled water."Chemicals, contaminants, pollution, price: New Reasons to Rethink What You Drink." I just had to share this with you.

Here are some quotes from the article:
"Labels can be misleading... In one notorious case, water coming from a well located near a hazardous waste site was sold to many bottlers. At least one of these companies labeled its product "spring Water." In another case.
H2O, sold as "pure glacier water" came from a "public water system in Alaska."

"In 1999 the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) tested more than 1,000 bottles of 103 brands of water... At least one sample of a third of the brands contained bacteria or chemical contaminants, including carcinogens, in levels exceeding state or inductry standards. Since that time, the industry has not made an major changes, so the risks are most likely still there."

"The NRDC found samples of two brands were contaminated with phalates... one case exceeding EPA standards for tap water." Phalates are endocrine disrupters, "which means they block or mimic hormones, affecting the body's normal functions. And the effects of exposure to the widespread chemicals may add up." Imagine, bottled water can have all that and is usually very acidic, too, which we can show people.

P.S. For a visual demonstration on just how acidic what you drink is, please go to our website, http://www.be-alkaline.com/ On the referred site that you will get in the first email you will get some amazing information. As I said above, most everything from energy drinks, sports drinks, to Bottled Waters-yes, bottled waters, especially those that are reverse osmosis, are acidic! This is so important to know for your health. Add to that the chemicals in the water leached from the plastic bottles, and that is what you are paying for. Take care, and "rethink what you drink!"

Wellness Depends on Alkalinity

Some have asked us, "Why is our pH level so important?" Well, let's see what some experts say.

Dr. Theodore Baroody, in his book,"Alkalize of Die," makes this comment, "The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same basic root cause…too much acid tissue waste in the body!"

Sang Whang, writer of "Reverse Aging," says that even if we consume the most beneficial of healthful fruit and vegetables, 97% of our food still consists of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen, and assuredly will be brought down to acid waste in the body. He tells us that it is not what we put into our bodies, it's what remains in our bodies as waste that creates our over-acidic condition. This is one contributing factor to premature aging.

In terms of the delicate acid/alkaline balance in our bodies, the only difference between the 'good' food and 'bad food,' is that 'good' food will cause less acidic waste and more acidic neutralizing effects. And, what we drink can greatly affect how well our bodies can cope with the resulting acidic condition in the body from what we eat.

Life is in water. We need water: Can't live without it. Our bodies are over 70% water! So it just makes sense that what we put into our bodies in the form of liquids, is very important to our overall health. It can either contribute to the acidic condition, or it can greatly neutralize it and bring to a more alkaline state.

Most people don't drink enough water. They feel that other liquids can substitute for water which is a misnomer. Nothing substitutes for water. God didn't give Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden a juice bar, coffee maker, or soda dispenser: It was water!

So, if we need water-nature's elixir, what water do we drink? This is the important question and one that desperately needs to be addressed. As I mentioned last time, it needs three vital components to be truly healthy water for you: Your water needs to be Alkaline, micro-clusterd/hexegonal, and have anti-oxidant factors. I will discuss more in detail in future posts.

Till next time...Good health to you,

Baby Boomers, Listen!

The Baby Boomer generation is here. Millions are approaching 60 everyday. However, this generations of sectarians, are not like many of the rocking chair 60 year olds of days gone by. Baby boomers, retirees, and others are wanting to travel, enter senior Olympics, become entrepreneurs, and stay active. My wife and I are over and just under 60. We want to stay healthy, alert, and active for many years to come. We've been married almost 39 years and desire many more years to enjoy each other's company, and spend time with our six children and almost 7 grandchildren-so far.

How can we Baby Boomers stay active, feel great, and be healthy? Be Alkaline. What do I mean by that? I have spent over 39 years in the natural health. Over 96% of all Americans, as well as many other people around the world, are overly acidic. Our diet, our stressful lives, the air we breathe, the water and other beverages we drink, and even a negative outlook on life, can all lead to acidosis. And, acidosis, can lead to premature aging, chronic complaints, and health challenges.

And, according to Dr. Ijon, water researcher, every metabolic function creates waste which causes acidification. Even exercise, if you do not properly rehydrate to neutralize the lactic acid in the system, can cause one to become acidic. Over acidification has been known to cause effects of premature aging and illnesses if the body cannot eliminate waste more effectively. However, it the body is able to eliminate acidity and wastes, your life expectancy and overall health may possibly be improved.

And, there's another problem that this generation of Baby Boomers has been exposed to more than past generations: Chemicals in the environment! How does that affect us? Well, when a body is acidic, as 96% of us are, the body holds onto those heavy metals like cadmium, lead, and mercury, just to name a few, and those in turn can create what is known as oxidative stress that makes our bodies even more acidic and can cause degenerative illnesses. Even very small amounts can affect us.

So what's the answer for us to Be Alkaline? Electrolytic, Hexagonal, Alkaline Water! More in my next post... Till then, stay safe, and stay happy.

Water, Water Everywhere: Which One Do I Drink?

Hope you are having a great day--There is so much discussion on water lately. Bottled water is the topic of conversation everywhere. There are so many to choose from. And, tragically, as a by-product, in the US alone, 50 billion plastic bottles are being thrown away: Bottles that won't bio-degrade for hundreds and hundreds of years. What a legacy to leave the children of the world!

But, that's only one of the problems of drinking bottled water. Most importantly, for your health, the water you drink should be alkaline for good health. That means it should be 8.5 to 9.5 on the pH scale.

Lots of authors are discussing this subject. The majority of bottled water is reverse osmosis. None of those that I have tested is alkaline or even neutral, 7.0. In fact, they test out quite below neutral in the low pH range which means they are acidic. Spring water is usually somewhere around neutral. However, most are bottled in plastic that can release harmful chemicals into your water that can cause problems. I'll discuss more on that in future posts.

And, how about soda pop? That has a pH of below neutral to the extent that if you drink just one small soda, yes, one small soda, you need to drink 32 + 8 oz. glasses of Alkaline water-9.5 pH-to neutralize your body from the acidic properties of that one small can. Can you imagine the effect on a person's body from those Big Gulps that people buy? And, don't get me started on diet sodas. More on that in the future, too.

Our health is just way to important to fool around with. What we drink is vital to our health and well-being. There's, also, a really informative, short newsletter that will come just once a week for a few weeks-won't bog your e-mail box down. I'm the only one that gets your info, and I promise I won't share or sell it. So request both. You'll soon discover that all water is not the same and how important the right choices are.

More next time...Take care, & have a great day!
