Lemon Water - Alkalising Superstar

I saw a documentary on TV last week, saying that an acid body is a magnet for sickness & disease, especially for cancer and aging. It's proof in Japan & Korea that patients who suffer from cancer are all with acidic body.

Eating more alkaline foods helps shift your body's pH and oxygenate your system. Alkaline foods keep your body healthy and functioning correctly, preventing cancer.

During late 1940's Japanese scientists found that electrically ionized alkaline water can help to improve Gastric Hyperacidity and other primarily digestive conditions. Instead of paying a lot of money purchasing expnsive ionized alkaline water machine, we can simply drink lemon water, which can easily provide the same effect. Although lemon taste sour, it actually have an alkalizing effect in your body. The beauty of lemon water is that it is tasty, refreshing and best of all, alkalising. The lemon juice raises the alkalinity of the water so even with standard tap water you can make your drink pH neutral.

pH Balance:
The pH scale is from 0 to 14, with numbers below 7 acidic (low on oxygen) and numbers above 7 alkaline. The blood, lymph and cerebral spinal fluid in the human body are designed to be slightly alkaline at a pH of 7.4. At a pH slightly above 7.4 cancer cells become dormant and at pH 8.5 cancer cells will die while healthy cells will live. A balanced diet helps to maintain the pH balance of the blood.

Meat - Fish - Eggs we ate everyday are strongly acidic food.

So What Are the Benefits of Drinking Lemon Water?

Apart from being an amazing body alkalizer/alkaliser, lemon water also gives the following health benefits:

• Lemons are antiseptic
• Lemon water has excellent digestive properties and can ease heartburn, bloating and other digestion problems
• Lemon water cleanses and stimulates the liver and kidneys

So if you do not do anything else - start every single day with a glass of lovely lemon water! I put 2 slices of lemon into room temperature drinking water everyday now :)

* DO NOT ADD SYRUP / SUGAR - lemon with sugar / sweet will become acidic.

** WASH the lemons throughly before soaking it into water, to prevent excess pesticides and chemicals, unless you are sure that your lemons are 100% organic.
