In Search of the Optimal Liquid Solution

We all know that today’s world is an unhealthy one. Our diets are poor, we stress too much, and we don’t get sufficient exercise. But there’s another huge problem that’s compromising our health. We don’t drink enough water, which leads to a dehydrated, acidic state in the body and ultimately to a deteriorating state of health. That’s right. We’re constantly dehydrated, and the water we do drink is full of contaminants and pollutants.
Of course, bottled water is very popular. And it’s certainly better than standard tap water. But it’s still just plain water—or what many people refer to as “dead” water.

Dehydration, Acidic State Contribute to Major Health Concerns

Plain tap water is often referred to as "dead" water.

There’s good news. Hydration is now being revolutionized with a superior-quality, mineral-rich alkaline water. With such a product, you’re receiving so much more than just plain water or a few nutrients. This product addresses the core problem of most of today’s health woes. Because of our poor diets, chronically high stress levels and the fact that we are dehydrated, our bodies are in an acidic state most of the time. Science has clearly shown that our bodies must maintain an alkaline state to be healthy. If our cells are acidic in their pH, then our tissues, organs and entire body will also be in poor health. Sick, acidic cells lead to increase in inflammation, sluggishness, low energy and depleted vibrancy. An acidic, imbalanced pH is also the foundation for many of today’s top health concerns from obesity to heart disease to diabetes. It’s also important to point out that the other beverages that we commonly consume contribute to the problem. Coffee, diet sodas, energy drinks, and so-called “sports” drinks are hugely popular in today’s society. Unfortunately, they are major contributors to the problems linked to dehydration and acidity in the body. Instead of rehydrating the body and replenishing the cells with essential nutrients, they’re simply overloading the body with harsh stimulants, sugars and other chemicals that only make our cells sicker.

Before you drink another soda...

XOOMA WORLDWIDE·MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2016

The human body is designed to consist of at least 70% water. Unfortunately, many of today's popular drinks such as coffee and sodas are a major factor that contribute to dehydration and unhealthy acidic conditions within the body. Do you know how much water it takes to neutralize the acid in just one soda?

It can take up to 30 glasses of purified water to neutralize the acid from one 12 oz. soda. Each time you choose to drink an acidic beverage, your body uses its own mineral buffers to protect you from these dangerous acids and maintain your healthy blood pH level of 7.35-7.45.

It's clear that while consuming water is important, consuming purified water is vital. And while bottled water does provide more purity, most brands of bottled water are still “acidic” to the body (because their pH readings fall below 7) and don't offer optimal hydration due to the lack of minerals and electrolytes. As a result, many health experts often refer to today's bottled waters as “dead water.” For example, reports are now surfacing about health problems from long-time consumers of distilled water – directly attributable to the lack of minerals in their water and in their body.

So the right answer is combining purified water with an X2O sachet, to create all the benefits of more energized, alkalized and mineralized water...which means more health benefits for you!

How Professional Athletes Benefit from Alkaline Water By Dr. Robert Burns, PhD / Dr. Susan Lark, MD

Competitive, elite athletes and sports trainers know that subtle changes in pH can have profound effects on the overall health, feeling of wellness, level of fatigue, pain, weight, ability to train and athletic performance. Muscles work best in a narrow range of Ph. At rest, muscle pH is about 6.9, while arterial blood is about 7.4.

When we exercise, the increased use of muscle glycogen for energy produces lactic acid, pyruvic acid, and CO2, which decreases muscle pH. The harder you exercise the quicker your muscles become acidic which leads to fatigue. Accumulation of acid also limits the production of ATP, the energy molecule, and disrupts enzyme activity that produces energy.

For example, the enzyme phosphofructokinase is the rate-limiting step in muscle use of glycogen. When muscle pH falls below 6.5 it stops working altogether. Acidity also reduces muscle power directly by inhibiting the contractile action of muscle fibers.

“Endurance and elite sports athletes should be concerned about maintaining a healthy pH balance,” says Robert Burns, PhD. He notes that lactic acid build-up or hydrogen ion excess is of most concern. As the body metabolizes food, acid waste is created which must be removed or neutralized through the lungs, kidneys (urine) and skin. “pH balance and acid buffering are crucial to human health and slowing the aging process,” he explains. Athletes, coaches and practitioners of holistic and traditional medicine are paying more attention to this area. “We may be able to buffer or slow the negative effects that acidosis has on athletes as well as the many disparate maladies that share acidosis as a common thread,” he concludes.

The use of alkaline water is proving to increase competitiveness and overall performance in world class athletes. A diet that supports alkalinity is also recommended by sports nutritionists. Consuming alkaline water will reduce the accumulation of acidity in exercising muscles, improving workout intensity and recovery time. Former Denver Bronco, Bill Romanowski, was introduced to the power of ‘ionized’ water late in his career doing anything legal to maintain his competitive edge.

Competitive bodybuilder, Wade McNutt, credits the use of alkaline water for motivating him to come out of retirement. He says he has increased his training volume by 2.5 times with decreased recovery time and no muscle soreness. In his opinion, all sports teams should be drinking alkaline water because it will reduce injuries and allow for more efficient training.

In her book, The Chemistry of Success: Secrets of Peak Performance, Susan Lark, MD, talks about the role of acid/alkaline balance in peak performance and health. The following is her assessment of alkaline water: “The benefits of the alkaline water created through electrolysis far exceed just its ability to gently raise the pH of the cells and tissues of the body and to neutralize acids. Because the alkaline water has gained a significant number of free electrons through the electrolysis process, it is able to donate these electrons to active oxygen free radicals in the body, thereby becoming a super antioxidant. By donating its excess free electrons, alkaline water is able to block the oxidation of normal tissue by free oxygen radicals.”

She continues by noting that another significant benefit of the electrolysis process is that the cluster size of the alkaline water is reduced by about 50% from the cluster size of tap water. “This allows ionized alkaline water to be much more readily absorbed by the body, thereby increasing the water’s hydrating ability and its ability to carry its negative ions and alkalizing effect to all the cells and tissues of the body.”

“If you are overly acidic an alkaline water device can provide a safe, gentle and effective way of restoring the pH balance of all the cells in your body as well as providing excess free electrons to act as super antioxidants,” Lark recommends.

Most people, including most athletes, do not consume enough alkaline rich foods, such as nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Instead their diets contain high amounts of acid forming foods, such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy. Because of this dietary imbalance, they may be at risk for increased acidosis that affects overall health and sports performance. Since proper hydration is also a key factor in preventing exercise fatigue, consuming alkaline water before, during and after exercise can help.

Why Drink Alkaline Water?

12/16/2012

To talk about alkaline water we have to start by talking about pH. PH is the measurement of the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. Water has a neutral pH; it is neither acidic nor alkaline. Many of the fluids we drink and the foods that we eat are acidic. Sugar, fruit juice, meats and breads become acidic when digested in the body. Most of the vegetables are alkaline when digested.

Why does this matter? Because our body has a pH level that has to be the same no matter what we eat. The pH of our blood has to be 7.365. No matter what we eat or drink our body is going to maintain a blood pH of 7.365. This is slightly more alkaline that neutral (7.0). If we eat a lot of foods that are acidic and drink fluids that are acidic, the body is designed to make up for this by taking minerals from the muscles and bones to adjust the pH back to 7.365.

Is that bad? Muscles that don't have enough minerals feel achy. Bones that don’t have enough minerals become weak. Osteoporosis is a result of not having enough calcium and other minerals. Joints that don't have enough minerals become stiff and sore. A heart that doesn't have enough minerals will become irregular when it beats (arrhythmia). A brain without adequate
levels of minerals won't think clearly or as quickly and mood will be affected. Certainly not the optimal level of health that you want for your body, is it?

So what's the answer? It is certainly not avoiding all acidic foods. We still need the nutrients in some of those foods. Yes, cut back on the sugars and breads, but keep eating the protein, even if it is acidic. The answer is to make it easier for the body to get those alkaline minerals. Drinking water that is more alkaline provides a source of nutrients for the body to use in balancing the pH.

How do you get alkaline water? Well, you could out a quarter tsp of baking soda in your water each day. That would make the water alkaline. Some people just take the baking soda straight without even diluting it in water. This might work too. But baking soda is only sodium bicarbonate. It doesn't contain all of the major electrolytes and trace minerals that the body needs for healthy, muscles, bones, heart and brain.

Mineral supplements might also provide the electrolytes and trace minerals in a capsule or tablet. Both require adequate acidity in the stomach for digestion. A better solution is to dissolve those minerals in your water so that the body can make quick use of them as the water is absorbed from your intestines. A product like Xooma's X2O does this. The tiny mineral sachet dissolves the five major electrolytes and the 70 trace minerals in your water, allowing for easy absorption through the intestines and an easy way for every cell of the body to rapidly use those minerals.

Why alkaline water? Because drinking alkaline water is the best way to make up for the acidity of our foods, provide needed minerals for healthy body, bones, and brain, and create an environment within the body that fights inflammation, disease, and infection.
