Understanding hydration, and how to stay hydrated . . .
Hydration is about the pH of Alkaline Water
Researchers for alkaline water said: "alkalinity is the factor"
Alkaline water with a high (10+) pH is used by athletes to increase their endurance, and improve workouts
Science has long known that ionized alkaline water hydrates better than ordinary water
Alkaline water’s ability to enhance the flow of water through the body may explain why alkaline water is highly effective at cleansing toxins from the body.
Alkaline water makes it easier for water to pass in and out of the cells, so toxins are washed out and flushed out of the body
For workouts, alkaline water helps maintain athletic performance
Alkaline water can help you recover faster too, by flushing lactic acid from the muscles
Alkaline water contains healthy minerals like calcium, and studies show that minerals are 30% easier to absorb from water than they are from food
Health experts have suggested that it is beneficial to get 10 – 20% of your daily requirements for essential minerals from the water you drink
When you put it all together, ionized alkaline water has a lot of benefits
Better hydration, improved nutrient absorption, pH balance, detoxification, and age-fighting antioxidants.
With all these benefits from drinking ionized alkaline water, why would you bother to drink anything else?
The health benefits of proper hydration are well documented; many people know that doctors recommend drinking 6-8 glasses of water per day.
What many do not know is that when you drink matters just as much as how much you drink!
Knowing when your body needs water will help you reap maximum benefit from the water you drink.
AM Rise and shine!
Drinking a glass or two when you wake up stimulates peristalsis; the process of muscle contractions which move food and wastes through your digestive tract
Stimulating peristalsis first thing in the morning allows your body to efficiently eliminate wastes from meals eaten the previous day
Because alkaline water is micro-clustered, it absorbs rapidly in the body and allows cells to eliminate wastes during the morning peristalsis cycle
Mealtime tips
Drink a glass of water a half hour before mealtime to help your digestive tract prepare for a meal
The stomach secretes digestive acids to compensate for the alkalinity of the water, which then prepares the stomach to efficiently absorb the nutrients from the meal
You should not drink alkaline water during meals as your stomach needs to remain in an acid state in order for you to absorb nutrients
You may drink small amounts of purified water during meals to help you wash your food down
Avoid drinking too much water (or any other liquid) during meals because the excess water will wash away the digestive enzymes that are needed to break food down in the stomach.
Try to avoid drinking alkaline water for an hour after meals in order to allow the stomach to finish breaking down the nutrients from your meal
PM 2 o’clock wake up call!
Many people feel drowsy between two and three in the afternoon and turn to coffee or other stimulants for a quick pick-me-up
What they don’t realize is that the drowsy feeling they are experiencing is due in large part to dehydration!
Alkaline water is well known for boosting energy, and works better than any snake-oil-in-a-can (energy drink) made.
Drink two cups of energizing alkaline water to flush that fatigue and you will finish your day feeling refreshed
Bathing inside and out (don't ask me... WHY?)
Drink a glass of water just before a bath to keep blood pressure down
No one is really sure why this one works but it does!
Alkaline water will clean your insides while you wash your outsides.
Using the acid water produced by home water ionizer machines to wash with will also help your skin tone and complexion
Bed-time Getting ready
Finish your hydration for the day one hour before bedtime
Drink one glass of water an hour before bedtime to replenish the water lost during sleep
Some experts now believe that this one glass of water may save your life!
A glass of water before bed has been shown to prevent heart attacks and strokes
Just don’t drink water right before bed, because then you may have to get up and peeeee . . .
Hydration : Water is the most abundant, yet possibly the most overlooked, substance in the body
