The pH scale means „strength“ or „potential“ of hydrogen. It is essentially a logarithmic scale of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution.
Number 7 means neutral acidity. Each number downwards represents a tenfold increase in acidity compared to the previous level. pH 3 means that the given solution is 10 times more acidic than a solution with pH 4.
Going up from 7, it again holds that solutions with each further number are 10 times less acidic or, as we say, more alkaline.
The natural value for our blood is a relatively narrow range of pH 7.35 to 7.45, and the body guards it fairly strictly. The pH of other body tissues and fluids can deviate more from this level.
What happens in the body if the pH of tissues is too low
When our body is overly acidic, various symptoms appear such as digestive problems, weight gain, fatigue and exhaustion.
All these symptoms of acidosis can be eliminated by drinking clean drinking water and eating organic fruits and vegetables, which restore a healthy balance in the system.
However, the tap water we drink often contains various impurities, hormone residues, chlorine and sometimes even heavy metals that directly enter our organism.
The result can then be several illnesses and a weak immune system.
That our overall pH is influenced by the diet we consume was already reported to us by the well-known scientist and Nobel Prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg. He discovered decades ago that 95 % of all types of cancer are acidic, and that they are the result of long-term acidification of the organism.
In contrast, cancer cells cannot survive in an alkaline environment.
Therefore he assumed that acidosis (over-acidification) is associated not only with the occurrence of cancer, but also with a number of other health problems such as various chronic diseases like osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease or diabetes.
Today we will therefore reveal to you the recipe for detoxifying alkaline water that you can prepare at home in 5 minutes.
Recipe for detoxifying alkaline water
The stated recipe consists of several ingredients, among which lemon plays an important role. As it has turned out, lemon has very strong effects on balancing the pH level.
Although it has an acidic taste, in the body it acts alkalizing and regulates the body’s pH.
It also has strong disinfectant and antibacterial effects that can help with many health complications from bad breath to cholera.
Ingredients
To make alkaline water you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 of a ginger root (a 3 to 4 cm long piece)
- 1/2 a medium-sized cucumber
- 1/2 glass of mint leaves
- a large water jug (ideally 1.5 to 2 liters)
Preparation
Peel the ginger, wash the lemon and cucumber well (using warm water and a little vinegar).
Then chop all the ingredients into smaller pieces, place them in the jug and then pour in clean drinking water.
For the best result change the ingredients every 24 hours. In the meantime, if you drink the alkaline water, it is enough to pour fresh clean water over the already used ingredients.
Usage
To obtain optimal health effects start drinking this alkaline water first thing in the morning upon waking and continue throughout the day.
