Why Alkaline Your body works hard to maintain a healthy balance between acid (lower on the pH scale) and alkaline (higher on the pH scale), helping your systems operate efficiently. When there is an imbalance due to stress, lack of sleep, and over consumption of acidic foods (such as sugar, processed foods and alcohol) your body has to work harder to maintain its optimal pH level. How? By reaching for the alkalizing minerals it needs to counter the higher levels of acid. Unfortunately, these minerals are leached from your bones, organs and tissues. This depletion of resources, combined with the fact that viruses, fungus, yeast and bacteria thrive in acidic environments, opens the door to imbalance and disease in the body.Many people are choosing to consume more alkaline foods and drinks to help their bodies maintain a healthy pH balance. In fact, the World Health Organization recommends consuming mineralized water for the maintenance of optimal health. Alkaline Water for Fitness Alkaline water is a popular choice for bodybuilders, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts because it helps your body sustain physical activity for longer periods of time at higher workloads. How? During training, your body produces lactate, and works hard to clear it. When lactate production exceeds your ability to clear it, it's called your Anaerobic Threshold, at which point your energy production becomes dominated by your anaerobic systems. An alkaline environment in the body increases your ability to clear lactate, thereby increasing your Anaerobic Threshold, and letting you workout longer and harder. Why pH Balance Your pH level impacts all of your body's cells, tissues, glands, organs, and organ systems-that's EVERYTHING in your body. Increasing your alkalinity to 7.36 alleviates stress on your organ systems right down to the cells, helping your body fight off illness and disease.What is pH balance? The potential for hydrogen (pH) balance of our body is measured on a scale of 0 to 14, 7 being neutral, less than 7 being acidic, and greater than 7 being alkaline. The higher the hydrogen concentration, the more acidic a substance will become. The human body stays at a stable alkaline of about 7.36 - significant shifts from this number is life threatening; in fact, the body strives very hard to maintain this balance unless there are foreign viruses or cancerous cells attacking it. Modern medicine has suggested that what we ingest can't significantly alter the acidity or the alkalinity of our bloodstream. The body has a complex system that makes sure the blood stays in its healthy, slightly alkaline range. If blood becomes too acidic or too alkaline, the body automatically corrects this on its own. You blood may become slightly more acid or alkaline after eating certain foods - but it will stay within the healthy rage without a special diet. While the modern diet has become more acidic than ever before, our bodies faithfully maintain their blood stream's normal pH range.So why should you be concerned? Our bodies may naturally work to maintain a stable pH - and keep us alive doing so - but if we don't give our bodies what they need to maintain this balance in a healthy fashion, we pay the price in other ways. How? Our blood achieves this balance by robbing our organs, glands, tissues and bones of important minerals. Calcium in the form of phosphates and carbonates represents a large reservoir of base in our body. In response to an acid load such as the modern diet, these salts are released into the systemic circulation to bring the pH into homeostasis. It has been estimated that the quantity of calcium lost in the urine with the modern diet over time could be as high as almost half the skeletal mass of calcium over 20 years. Our kidneys are one of the main cleansing portals that help flush excess acid from our blood stream. The kidneys help regulate the acid/alkaline balance of the bloodstream by eliminating solid acids, also known as fixed acids - especially sulfuric and uric acid - through urination. If acid wastes cannot be eliminated, they get re-absorbed, re-filtered through the liver, and released into circulation, which facilitates free radicals and various bacter
