It is becoming known throughout the Health & Beauty industry that Hydration and pH balance are key elements of good health and longevity. Why do we use hydrating skin care products when it is not just your skin that is dehydrated? We need to work from the inside out too!
Excess Acid means sickness and disease
Most people think that having acid in their syste simply means that they have got an upset stomach or at worst acid reflux. When you ready the following article you'll realise that excess acid causes so much more than just stomach discomfort. Too much acid in the system can be the cause of over 200 diseases. By simply reducing acid levels in the body many health problems improve dramatically and in some cases totally clear up. You'll be amazed at how simple it is to completely change your health around.
"Rebalancing the Body's PH levels
The negative health conditions associated with acidification are numerous. And while it is possible to treat each illness or symptom individually, such measures will never be anything more than temporary. You'll spend your time and money consulting with various specialists and purchasing prescription and other medications and after all that effort, your health problems will still exist.
To effectively deal with the illnesses and symptoms that are brought about by acidification and to return the body to an overall state of good health, it's very important to address the root of the problem. You've got to find out why the body is not ridding itself of excess acid. Once you understand why this isn't happening, you can begin a treatment plan that will reduce and preferably eliminate acidification.
First and foremost, you must take steps to stop acidification right where it starts. You've got to stop filling your body with high-acid foods and drinks.
Focus on providing your body with more alkaline-rich foods, the fruits and vegetables you pass on more often than you consume. You will be amazed at how this one simple step can drastically impact acidification levels. Exercising will enhance the acid oxidation process, another tremendous benefit. To address the acids that have been embedded within the tissue, consider plant-based medicines. These help increase sweat levels and urine flow, two of the body's acid elimination channels.
If taken correctly, alkaline mineral supplements help the body two ways. They assist with the elimination of acids that are consumed throughout the day. Plus, they help dislodge the acids that have become imbedded deep within the tissue. If given the choice the body will keep those deeply lodged acids in the tissues rather than risk allowing them to enter the bloodstream where they ca upset the pH balance and cause serious health problems. Alkaline that is introduced to the body works to neutralize these acids so they can be safely transported to the skin surface and eliminated. When acids come into contact with the alkaline, they become neutral salts and as such, can pass safely through the bloodstream without impacting its pH level.
Putting the body through an acid cleansing process isn't really that difficult, and the payoff is well worth the effort. As those deeply embedded acids are dislodged and taken to the surface to be eliminated, the body immediately starts repairing the conditions that have been brought on by acidification. As long as acid levels remain under control, there's little chance those conditions will ever return".

"The importance of Alkaline in the Body
In order to function at optimum capacity, the internal body environment must remain as close to neutral as possible. It likes to measure in on the pH scale at 7.39. When the body takes in an excessive amount of acids, as it does so often as a result of making the wrong food choices, this excess must be brought back into balance. The way the body accomplishes this is by bringing the acid and alkaline levels back into balance.
Each of the elements inside the body, the vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, sugars and trace elements, can be categorized as either an acid or an alkaline. One interesting fact about an acid and an alkaline leement is that when they are mixed together, they are able to cancel each other out. The scientific term for what is created when an alkaline and an acid element are combined is a neutral salt.
Much in the same way as the neutral colour gray results when black and white are combined, and when the neutral temperature of warm results when hot water is combined with cold, a neutral salt cancels out the inherent respective properties of the combined acid and alkaline elements. With no acid or alkaline properties, neutral salts have no impact on the cellular serums or blood in which they are present.
When excess acid is present, the body must go out and find alkaline elements to begin the process of neutralizing this excess acid. Alkalines are usually present in the blood, but because the blood cannot tolerate much variation in its pH level, this is never a good source from which to borrow. A better source for alkaline elements is the internal organs and tissues. These areas can tolerate a greater degree of pH level fluctuation.
Even though the internal organs and tissue can exist in the short-term without all of the necessary alkaline, it is of critical importance that the borrowed alkaline be replaced. Normally this is not a problem. A healthy diet is generally all it takes to replenish alkaline levels. But most people don't consume a healthy diet. It is this repeated borrowing of alkaline without replacement that becomes a serious situation.
In fact, given the way many people eat today, it is not uncommon for alkaline to be borrowed and not replenished every single day, and worse, many times in a single day. Taking more alkaline than is being replenished will sooner or later create a deficit. Alkaline has a purpose. It is crucial to the properly functioning of the internal organs and tissue. It is not present in the body so that it can be used to help neutralize excessive acid.
A shortage of alkaline inside the body occurs much more frequently than it should. The end result of this alkaline mineral loss can be any number of different illnesses and diseases and overall feeling of poor health."

What I have found...
I have come across a product that when added to my water, breaks down the surface tension of the water which is then more easily absorbed by my body. This product Hydrates me at a cellular level, Remineralises my body and Alkalises my system. What is really amazing - it does really work.
This product:
It was recommended to me by the college I studied at. I now recommend it to all my clients. The feedback in the form of testimonies is that people are saying their energy levels have increased; hair, nails and skin are all much healthier; my body is absorbing water and not retaining it. Also, that weight loss is noticable and people are feeling so much healthier and energized! My clients are loving this one product!
This product also assists in maximising the benefits of the Ion Spa Treatments.
