A soda is a carbonated drink, typically
a mix of carbonated water, flavoring, and sweeteners. Sugar, sugar substitutes,
fruit juice, corn syrup, or a combination of any of these are used to sweeten
this beverage. Caffeine and colorings may also be added into sodas. And then of
course there are the dreaded preservatives, though it’s not the only thing you
should be afraid of. The combined use of preservatives and sweeteners make soda
extra deadly. It poses health concerns which predispose you to a number of
deadly diseases.
Drinking beverages sweetened with
sugars in whatever form is associated with weight changes. The daily
consumption of soda leads to weight gain, increasing the risk for obesity. The
link between soda consumption and weight gain was seen in both children and
adults in two separate studies. In the study involving more than 500
schoolchildren for a course of over 19 months, they found that for every soda a
child drank, there was an increase of 0.24 kg/m2 in body mass index (BMI). The
8-year study of about 50,000 female nurses showed that those who drank more
sodas gained an average of 17.5 lbs. during the study compared to the 6 lbs.
weight gain in women who reduced their soda consumption.
Obesity is a health concern that
must be taken seriously, as it is related to diseases that claim the lives of
millions of people around the world every year. Namely, these are
diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.
Instead, drink water – but not just any water! All water is NOT created equal! Most
city water has all sorts of nasty things in it. It has things from chlorine to
lye to fluoride. It even has a plethora of pharmaceuticals which have been
thrown out and found their way into our water supply, and that is just a very
small list of all the things that are in your water. You are made up of
approximately 70% water. Your body needs plenty of pure fresh water. Your
organs are virtually bathed in a pool of water. This water needs to be replaced
constantly. Think of your body as an aquarium – just as you wouldn’t put sodas
or chemicals in an aquarium, you shouldn’t knowingly put them in your body
either. Your body needs to maintain a slight alkaline balance. It should have a
pH of between 7.3 and 7.4. Most tap water is slightly acidic or neutral (in
addition to having all that nasty stuff in it). Bottled water is almost always
VERY acidic.
So what kind of water SHOULD you
drink? The answer is ionized, alkaline water. This water helps
your body alkalize, fight disease, shed weight, increase energy, and hydrate!
A very high percentage of people go through life in a constant state of
dehydration and don’t even realize it. We can be quite dehydrated even when we
don’t feel thirsty. Actually, when we are dehydrated, we most often feel hungry!
Surprising, but True! Other common symptoms of dehydration are headache,
lack of energy, trouble concentrating and general lethargy. Ionized,
alkaline water can be made in your home with a water ionizer. These
devices not only make alkaline water, they also remove many of the toxins in
your water through the filtering process they utilize. The ionization
process changes the structure of the water to micro-clusters (clusters of 5-6
molecules instead of 13-15 molecule clusters in tap or bottled water). This
allows hydration at the cellular level.
Western Diets stress and aging
results in free radicals and acidosis. Doctors estimate that nearly 70% of
Americans suffer from chronic acidosis. Acidosis is the environment in which
disease thrives. Disease cannot live in an alkaline environment. Ionized, alkaline
water is highly antioxidant. Antioxidants destroy free radicals.
Free radicals also accelerate aging so the antioxidant rich alkaline water also
slows down the aging process.
So STOP drinking sodas, tap water
and bottled water. (Bottled water also causes environmental pollution due to
the disposal of the plastic bottles which are not bio-degradable and pollute
our landfills and waterways).
Visit the Products tab of our
Green Health Technologies website and learn more about why you need to drink ionized, alkaline
water! We offer choices of electric or gravity alkaline ionizers
as well as portable, ionizing pitchers for making alkaline water in your
home. Check out the Living Water, Velaqua or HydraPour ionizers.
