Alkaline Water

Here’s another buzzword!! Alkaline water was another fad going around and is apparently still relevant. I have seen videos all over social media where a person tests the acidity of assorted brands of water. I have also encountered people who make/sell the water. After digging in a little deeper and researching the topic, I have found some pros and cons to drinking the water.  Let’s talk about what I’ve found.

Another reason for the pancreas fails to operate is due to an increase of free radicals in the body.  We always produce free radicals in the body as a by-product of various chemical reactions daily. However, when our body’s pH level is acidic, we promote the formation of more free radicals. Free radicals play a part in creating insulin resistance in the body. Alkaline water can help reduce the number of free radicals in the body, bringing the body from acidic to alkaline.

Although I have tried to provide an explanation of how alkaline water is useful, there really is not enough research or evidence that show proven benefits of the product. Should you choose to drink Alkaline water, make sure that it still has the same minerals of non-alkaline water.

Another thing I must mention, if you are not in control of your diet, your blood sugar will be uncontrolled no matter how much water you drink. You should get an understanding of the basics of diabetes and what happens to sugar in the body. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with diabetes and you want to learn more about it, you need to purchase my guidebook “Sugar Shock(er)”. Sugar Shock(er) CoverThis guidebook is a simple download that will walk you through how different types of sugar is processed in your body. It will also provide you with a food log and list and sample recipes that are low in sugar. This is a small fraction of what it would cost to meet with a health professional and you don’t need an appointment! Email me with questions, if you have them!
