The pH scale means “strength” or “potential” of hydrogen. It is essentially a logarithmic scale of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution.
The number 7 means neutral acidity. Each number down represents a tenfold increase in acidity over the previous level. pH 3 means that the solution is 10 times more acidic than a solution with pH 4.
Moving up from 7, it is the case that solutions with each subsequent number are 10 times less acidic or, as we tend to say, more alkaline.
The natural value for our blood is a fairly narrow pH range of 7.35 to 7.45 and the body guards this quite strictly. pH of other body tissues and fluids may deviate more from this level.
What happens in the body if the pH of tissues is too low
When our bodies are over-acidified, various symptoms appear such as digestive problems, weight gain, fatigue and exhaustion.
All these symptoms of over-acidity can be eliminated by drinking clean drinking water and consuming organic fruits and vegetables, which restore a healthy balance in the system.
However, tap water that we drink often contains various impurities, hormone residues, chlorine and sometimes even heavy metals that enter our organism directly.
The result can then be several diseases and a weakened immune system.
That our overall pH is influenced by the diet we consume was already announced to us by the well-known scientist and Nobel laureate Dr. Otto Warburg. Decades ago he discovered that 95% of all types of cancer are acidic, and that they are the result of long-term over-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 range 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 given recipe consists of several ingredients, among which the lemon plays an important role. As it has turned out, lemon has very strong effects on balancing pH levels.
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 of a medium cucumber
- 1/2 glass of mint leaves
- a large water pitcher (ideally 1.5 to 2 liters)
Preparation
Peel the ginger, wash the lemon and cucumber well (using warm water and a little vinegar).
Then cut all the ingredients into smaller pieces, place them in the pitcher and then pour in clean drinking water.
For best results replace the ingredients every 24 hours. In the meantime, if you drink the alkaline water, simply refill the used ingredients with fresh clean water.
Usage
To obtain optimal health effects start drinking this alkaline water immediately after waking up and continue throughout the day.
