Water – a Weight Loss Tool
Can water really help in weight loss?
Water can be a great hydrating drink and can have many positive effects, but can it really help lose weight? Water, which is balanced in nature, can help provide a gamut of health benefits. Alkaline water or ionized water which has proper pH balance can help our cells function optimally. Our bodies are naturally maintained at a pH level of 7.4 which is slightly alkaline. Our system gets regulated when we intake pH balanced water, and an ionizer is the way we can make alkaline water right in our own homes.
pH is actually a scale that helps measure the alkalinity or acidity of any substance. We can measure pH level in our bodies as well. This scale has a range between 1 and 14, with 7 being neutral, 1 being extremely acidic and 14 being extremely alkaline. Our blood is alkaline in nature and its pH level needs to be monitored for health reasons. If our bloodâs pH level reduces beyond the neutral level, it can cause detrimental effects to our bodies. Our bodies are basically alkaline and when it becomes acidic, detrimental health effects result like weight gain etc.
Evaluation of the pH level is necessary to understand whether we should modify our dietary habits and reduce acidic foods and add more alkaline foods in our diet to reduce the effect of acidity. The best way to check whether we are alkaline or acidic is to test urine or saliva and get the accurate pH value. Acidity can then be controlled through our diet by eating alkaline food and taking in ionized water which is alkaline in nature. Further benefit can be achieved by eliminating acidic foods from the diet. Alkalizing our bodies enable us get rid of cravings, kick start our digestion, and feel lighter. Alkaline Water is a sure fire way to reduce weight quickly.
Bryan Ruiz, of Laguna Beach, California says, “I stated drinking alkaline ionized water and eating more vegetables and less meat and lost 40 pounds in 75 days. My friends called me the incredible shrinking man. The best part was that I didn’t have to exercise and I was never hungry. I actually ate more food than before and had more energy.
Unfortunately, most people are unwilling to radically change their diet, but the good news is that most people drink water. There is a machine that makes water that is especially alkalizing to the body. It is called a water ionizer and produces high ph alkaline water that can be adjusted to the persons needs. Typically one begins drinking at a lower ph and build up to a higher ph. The minerals in the water have been ionized by an electrical charge. Jesse Thomas, of Healing Water Machines in Laguna Niguel, California, explains that, “The electrical charge makes the water antioxidant, so that it can pull toxins out of the body. Like all antioxidants, this can allow the body to heal itself from many health issues” The beauty is that most people drink water and if they don’t, they should. Even coffee and tea made with alkaline water become less acidic and taste better.
Alkalizing ones body whether through diet and or alkaline ionized water is a prudent step in ridding the body of the unhealthy fat and toxins which are believed to increase the effects of rheumatoid arthritis.
Alkaline water has a better taste and not only that; it has amazing antioxidant properties as well as it can help the body cleanse out impurities and provide more oxygen to our cells. Moreover, alkaline water is also quite hydrating in nature as well since cells in ionized water have smaller clusters which make it easier for our cells to absorb the water. Losing weight becomes more of a reality with alkaline water. Since taste of alkaline water is better, food cooked in alkaline water is also quite tasty, and vegetables, cooked in alkaline water, retain their color as well.
The benefit of drinking alkaline or ionized water is losing weight but this is not the only benefit gained out of ionized water. Alkaline water is also a source of eliminating all sort of impurities and acidity from our bodies as it can help get rid of toxins and toxic elements from our blood out through the urine. At least four liters of alkaline water are required to flush out impurities and contaminants from our body if acidic diet, full of toxic items is being taken in. Moreover, a pH miracle diet will only be beneficial if so much water is drunk to flush out toxicity from our bodies. Four liters of water may sound a bit too much but our bodies are built to be alkaline in nature and ionized, alkaline water can help provide many health benefits, .like ridding of toxins, reducing weight and clearing out skin along with a whole list of other health advantages.
