The human body is more of a machine than most of us realise, in that it is basically electric in nature. This being so, every action creates both acidic and alkaline situations, and if there is too much of the one or other it puts our bodies out of whack.
The alkalinity/acidity of any solution, including that in the human body, is measured on a scale from 0 to 14, and the optimum balance of the human body is a basic neutral 7.365, which is evidenced in the pH of the blood.
It is vital that the balance of acidity and alkalinity in the body is carefully maintained in order to keep it healthy and working optimally. The best way to do this is to drink water regularly, as pH loosely means potential of Hydrogen and refers to the hydrogen in a water molecule.
Not drinking sufficient water on a regular basis means that your body will become dehydrated, which means that the molecular water structure in our bodies is changed, which can lead to an acid/alkaline imbalance. This means that chemical reactions that normally occur in our bodies can do so in an unnatural manner.
High acidity levels in our bodies can cause problems, and occur due to various considerations, including:
- Electro Magnetic Fields such as those emitted by cell phones, microwave ovens, overhead power lines and other electrical appliances;
- Lifestyle problems including too little exercise or physical activity can result in a rise in acidic levels;
- Lung Pollution caused by smoking or exposure to pollution in the air we breathe;
- Severe Dehydration, which can be connected to chemically manufactured foods and beverages containing toxins;
- Stress can cause many problems because human emotions, especially negative emotions, are electrical fields that can change the properties of the water in your body; this can negatively affect your health.
Regular exercise, a good diet, and drinking plenty of pure water, such as that dispensed from a water cooler fitted with a good filter, will help your lungs and kidneys automatically keep your body pH balanced.
