Just thought I'd like to share this with you guys! Has anyone drank alkaline water or gone on an 80% alkaline diet before? If yes, I would like to know your experience too! Maybe anyone who is an Anthony Robbins fan will be familiar with that I'm talking about here. I have been drinking something called Alkaline Ionized water for about just 1 year everyday, and I'm just blown away by the improvement in my energy and health!
How did I start? Well I first heard about the benefits of alkalizing after a friend told me to check out the info. My friend had heard about it from Anthony Robbins who swears by it and that it is the key to unleasing our energy and health. Anyway,he gave me a Tony Robbins's tape where Tony interviewed Dr Robert Young, a scientist who studies live blood cells and says excess acid in the blood causes a lot of health problems. And having an 80% alkaline diet/20% acidic will balance our excess acidity (balance the Ph) and cure a lot of symptoms caused by over-acidity in the body. Ok, first time I hear this theory, I thought. Basically, his research is that when you alkalize, you energize your body and your body gets rid of excess acid waste/toxin. So when you alkalize, your body naturally detoxifies away the acid waste as they get neutralized. Simple enough.
The problem? Vege and avocado was like the only few food that was alkaline! The rest - eg protein, meat, carb, sugar are all acidic, or turn into acid in our body. Anyway, our body gets too acidic very easily as a by product of acidic diet, stress, lack of rest, lack of proper breathing(lack of oxygen).
But really like all men, the scientist's suggestion of a diet of 80% of vegetables/salad (about 6 servings each day he suggests) was nearly impossible for me. I'd starve if I survived on 80% rabbit food! So I followed his other suggestion which is to drink green drinks(made of vege/grass powders) or drink alkaline ionised water. Tried green drink but I didn't like the yucky taste. So in the end, I actually bought a water alkalizer ioniser last year from www.Theionicmall.com after learning that this dr Young is also using that same brand water alkalizer. It's a machine(about 300mm tall and I put it on my kitchen bench next to sink) that filters and cleans the tap water, while at the same time alkalizes it. I thought since I'm drinking water anyway, might as well drink filtered and alkalize my body at same time! Well, one year down the road, I'm amazed of the changes!
Firstly, I've lost some weight effortlessly (no change of diet at all, still eating the acidic foods I like, but the alkaline water helps neutralise excess acid), am now back to my ideal weight. I wasn't too overweight, just outta shape after 30 years old & would like to get fitter. Now my body shape has gone heaps better and fitter According to them, over acidity can cause overweight problems, and also cause difficulty in shedding the weight.
That's why many people on protein diets they lose weight by losing water, but they add a lot of acid into their system, and they get bad breath, tax their kidneys, get tired, and look dry(since they are severely dehydrated) and look older than their real age. If u watch the video in the website where i bought my machine, the scientist says our body is so intelligent that it makes our body store more fats(alkaline) in order to protect us from the excess acid in our blood, to prevent the acid from harming our organs and arteries. So if you reduce the acid(neutralise it by alkaline), the body doesn't need this protection mechanism of holding on to lots of fat anymore. Anyway, donno if i explain it good enough, watch the video in that site for better explanation. So if you are overweight and like to reduce weight, don't blame your body because it is trying to protect you from acid!
Secondly, I used to have such bad stress (from overwork) and chronic fatigue that I could get flat tired after a short walking in the city!! I mean, literally so tired and out of energy that I get shortness of breath and need to sleep. But after just about 3-4 months drinking it, I noticed that my energy has improved heaps! I regained energy to exercise with ease again! I could jog without getting flat out, which means my stamina and energy's back. Now I can walk all day in the city (I actually walk and back from work now, about 8km each day across the city and dont feel a thing!) Also, overall, after my energy level came back, I felt overall happier and lighter. I sleep 1 hour less now. Also I think the alkaline water contains more oxygen and act as antioxidant to your body.
Thirdly, I used to be dehydrated, but now my skin has got better moisturised, and my hair is shinier (not as dry as before) My girlfriend told me. ALso my lips don't crack anymore. Also girlfriend told me
Fourth: I used to get allergies and hay fever very often. But since starting my drink last year(actually 1 year + ago), I haven't had any hay fever since! Nil! And last year winter was the first time I didnt get a cold, eventhough my colleagues were coughing away.
Actually 3 months after I bought mine, I also bought one for my dad! He's also very happy with it. He also lost some weight and reduced the size of his tummy! Now he fills up a bottle with his machine at home, and brings the bottle to work every day! I also do the same, and the alkaline water has a slight sweet taste, and when you drink it, it's very cooling and hydrating. Something about it carrying more oxygen molecules and also easier absorbed by the body.
If anyone else has also been alkalizing, please share your story! Any Anthony Robbins fans out there?
