Your acid/alkaline balance is fundamental to your health because at the atomic level life is all about electricity — that happens to create energy in your body! Nothing happens in our bodies without an electrochemical reaction, and that’s all about the exchange of electrons (i.e., energy) between atoms. Zillions of electrochemical reactions are going on in your body right now. Your health depends on the balance between these reactions, either losing electrons/energy (oxidation) or receiving electrons/energy (reduction).
All these chemical reactions can only happens when electrical energy is able to flow between atoms. When you ionize water it has more energy to donate in the form of electrons to the atoms in your body that need electrons for their chemical processes. “Alkalize” and “energize” both refer to adding electrons, i.e. energy, to your body. Most of the life-giving, healthy processes in your body are those that give it electrons or energy, called alkalizing the body. Most of the unhealthy, decaying and toxic phenomena of the body that steal electrons are acidic or “oxidizing,” which means to burn up, rust, break down or decay.
Maintaining the correct balance between these acidic and alkaline reactions is essential to good health. But our modern diet of heavily cooked, processed foods and drinks, along with pollution throughout the environment and even stress, has tilted the balance in favor of the acids, i.e., in favor of less electrons and less energy for the electrochemical reactions our cells depend on!
In other words, we are losing this war!
So the thing you have to understand is that the diet and lifestyle choices you are confronting now are much, much more than just good ideas. You are choosing to add life energy to your body – or choosing to throw it away!
So choose LIFE!
