The document discusses how modern lifestyles lead to high acid intake and low alkaline intake, putting the body in an acidic state. This can deplete minerals over time and force the body to buffer acid in ways that contribute to diseases. Maintaining alkaline balance through diet and drinking alkaline water supports overall health and protects the body from damage caused by excess acidity.
2. Why Alkaline?
No Doctor is ever going to tell you to:
Stop exercising
Eat as much fatty red meat as possible
Consume processed sugars daily
Stop resting
And increase your level of stress daily
One thing that all of these have in common is ACID.

3. Why Alkaline?
Americans live one of the most acidic lifestyles on
our planet
High consumption of acidic foods and beverages
Shortest vacations and longest work hours
Sedentary lifestyle
Excessive alcohol intake
Over-eating

4. Why Alkaline?
Consider carbon dioxide. It is a waste
product that our body fights to expel
through our lungs so our blood can carry
oxygen to our cells. So we compress
CO2, add phosphoric acid and drink it.

So where are we going with this? Our blood
needs to maintain a pH of 7.35 – 7.45. If we get
outside this range, we go into a coma or die.
The full pH, or potential of Hydrogen, scale is
from 0 to 14. Fourteen is the most alkaline
while zero is the most acidic.

6. Why Alkaline?
The kidneys have the biggest job of neutralizing
acid in the blood, using bicarbonates. They process
about 180 liters a day. These bicarbonates are
made of alkaline minerals like potassium, calcium,
magnesium, and sodium. Research has revealed
that when we reach about 45, our bicarbonate
levels begin to decline dramatically. This is due to a
losing battle of acid intake over alkaline intake.

7. Why Alkaline?
If your garbage removal company collected 99.9%
of your garbage each week, you wouldn’t notice
at first.
After 40 years, you would be searching for your
house in a land fill.

8. Why Alkaline?
When the acid is too great, the body’s survival
mechanisms kick in and make choices.
Deplete calcium from bones to create calcium
bicarbonate, usually taking it from the hip or lower spine
first. This is why elderly people fall and break their hip.
It can also convert acid into crystals. These solid acid
crystals lodge in alkaline environments such as joints and
organs, forming gout, kidney stones, arthritis, cysts, etc.

9. Why Alkaline?
Most people remember from school that the
opposite of acid is alkaline. And most people know
that we are more than 70% water and our blood is
more than 90% water. Drinking alkaline water is
actually a natural function. In nature people would
drink from rivers, streams, and creeks which, before
pollution had a higher pH as opposed to warm
sulfur springs which taste poor.

10. Why Alkaline?
What are things to look out for? Dead water can
be just as dangerous as acidic water. Reverse
osmosis and distilled have specific functions, but
actually leech minerals and chemicals when
placed in plastic. Eating bicarbonates has some
benefit but the reaction in the stomach with
Hydrochloric acid results in salt crystals in the
blood. Arsenic will raise the pH but isn’t good, so
you have to find out why the water is high pH.

11. Why Alkaline?
We survive by keeping our blood pH protected,
but we are being damaged from within. Gout,
high blood pressure, arthritis, cysts, tumors, type
2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular blockages
are just a small handful of chronic diseases that
are related to acid.

12. Why Alkaline?
2o years ago, Alkalife founder Sang Whang, had high
blood pressure and was slightly overweight. He was
given a water ionizer, and when he finally decided to
use it, he lost 20 pounds and his doctor told him to
get off the medicine because his blood pressure was
lower than normal. He wasn’t much for mysterious
luck, so he investigated the chemical and biological
basis. He discovered that his blood could carry up to
12% more oxygen when he drank the water. That
brought him to write the book “Reverse Aging”.

More recently, U.S. army rangers stationed in the
mountains of Afghanistan have cured their high
altitude sickness, a form of oxygen deprivation, with
Alkalife alkaline water supplements.

14. Why Alkaline?
In 1931 Dr. Otto Warburg received the Nobel Prize
for discovering that the growth of cancer cells is a
fermentation process which can be initiated only in
the relative absence of oxygen.

15. Why Alkaline?
Even when we exercise, the stress produces lactic
acid that causes cramps. Alkaline water helps to
break down the lactic acid and we recover quicker.
So stress equals acid. Not only physical stress but
mental stress produces acid as well. Why does
worry or anxiety cause ulcers? The stress causes an
excess amount of Hydrochloric acid production
which creates ulcers.
