Drink of the Day: 9.5 pH water from Phountain
You may already know that our bodies are comprised of about 75% water. This means that in order for our bodies to function regularly, we need to replenish our water on a daily basis. But how do we know if the water we are consuming is doing our bodies more harm than good?
In order to remain free from sickness or disease, we need to keep our bodies at a neutral pH level (the pH scale runs from 1-9, with 7 being neutral). Most things that we consume everyday (red meat, chicken, white flour, cheese) range between a two and a four, creating a very acidic body that cause us to be sluggish and lethargic. Only green fruits and vegetables get a rating of 8 or 9. When your pH is 7 or over you have more energy, a better complexion and are less likely to get sick. Also, cancer cannot exist in a basic body.
Here's where things get scary. Almost all bottled water brands, when undergoing a normal pH testing, rate at a three! This means that bottled water has the same acidity as Diet Coke. Tap water gets a rating of seven (if it was more acidic, it would rust your pipes), so filtering your tap water is a great option to help neutralize the body. An even better option is to try 9.5 pH water from Phountain Life Extension Health Club and Alkaline Water Store on Long Island. With a pH so high, this water contains much more electrons than a lower pH, and can therefore provide you with more energy and vitality. It also helps your body to naturally detoxify, cleaning out your body to create a more healthful environment.
Tip: Phountain's alkaline water will help cure a hangover (alcohol is acidic and by adding a highly basic fluid into the body you are evening it out.) It is also a great way to begin a diet, by using it as a detoxifier and an energy booster.
