Water PH and Minerals: Is Your Body Screaming For Both?

Drinking Your Share of Water Each Day

Each person should drink half of their body weight in fluid ounces of water.
 

Acidity In The Body Causes Degeneration

The PH of water naturally occurring in nature is 9.5. 
Too much acidity in the body causes mineral depletion in bones as the body tries to alkalize itself, and an environment for disease and cancer. Over-acidity is caused by normal drinking water, white flour, sugar, excess meat, and conventional dairy. Sports drinks, sodas, and energy drinks are among the worst!

Alkalize by Changing Your Water

One can add mineral drops or mineral tablets (only from a natural source, never synthetic) to filtered water to help alkalize the water, or purchase machines like Kangen Water. 
I personally drink all my water with mineral drops added to it, because humans evolved getting their minerals from water and food sources. Our food is so depleted of minerals and nutrients because of farming practices, that we must eat more of one food than our great grandparents to get the same amount of nutrients and minerals that they did. This is a very good reason to keep an organic garden with homemade compost at home.  Man, do I notice a huge difference when I drink my water with added minerals! 

Drink Nourishing, Alkalizing Tea

Teas of organically grown Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) aerial parts and Nettles (Urtica dioica) leaves are hugely beneficial. These medicinal herbs are high in minerals that are readily available in an aqueous solution for the body to absorb and use. Boil distilled or filtered water and steep 1/4 cup of herb to every 2 cups water, or 1 heaping tablespoon per 8 oz of water, covered in a glass vessel (ex: mason jar or french press) for 40 minutes.  Drink 1 cup twice daily.
