Green Juice and Alkaline Water

2010-08-06

Juices are highly concentrated in nutrients, support immune function and help detoxification. Eating enough vegetables in a day is daunting to some people because it seems like so much food. When made into a smoothie however, that daily dose of greens doesn’t seem so complicated. Liquid foods are great because they are more easily absorbed into the body, and therefore provide the body with high levels of nutrients. In addition, the enzymes that raw foods possess are easily distributed when those raw foods are made into a drink. Green juices or green drinks are smoothies or juices made from mostly vegetables that aid in the detoxification of your body. The term green juice just means that the drink is some shade of green. Green juice can be made from a combination of fruits and vegetables or all vegetables. ...

 

Raw Food Diet

2010-07-22

A raw food diet produces many benefits to the body and health. A raw food diet consists of only eating raw or living foods. Raw and living foods are foods that contain enzymes which assist in the digestion of food. These enzymes are killed off by cooking or heating food over 116 degrees. Raw and living foods have more important nutrients than foods that are cooked. The point of having these enzymes is to help the body get the maximum value of the food you eat. ...

Water Fasting

2010-07-16

Water fasting is a trend that has been around since ancient times. For first time fasters, it’s better to begin with a juice fast and integrate water fasting into the process as a whole. For example, 3 days juice, then 2 days water, and so on. For experienced fasters, some have gone as long as 30 days water fasting. The question here is what exactly does water fasting do to your body and how can you maximize the benefits? ...

 

How to Make Alkaline Water

2010-07-14

Generally, water has a neutral pH of 7. Making alkaline water simply involves the addition of a base (which is alkaline). It doesn’t take much to make water alkaline. In fact, a few too many notches up on the pH scale can cause the solution to be dangerous, capable of eating the flesh off bones. When handling strong alkaline solutions, gloves and goggles are strongly recommended. Alkaline solutions feel slippery on the skin, but since they quickly destroy nerve tissue, there is no burning sensation or pain as the solution eats through the skin. ...

 

Alkaline Cooking

2010-07-14

The alkaline theory is that since the human body is roughly made up of 4 parts alkaline based and one part acid based, a diet rich in alkaline foods and beverages is essential to the balance and health of the body. One way to help this balance happen is by consuming alkaline rich foods and beverages. In addition, “cooking alkaline” will also help the body stay balanced. ...

 

Acidic Water and Plants

2010-07-06

Plants and human life have always been beneficial to each other. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and release oxygen while humans breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. In this way, people and plants help one another. That’s not the only way plants and humans can co-exist and help one another though. Respiration is only one thing plants and humans have in common. Another commonality we have with plants is nutritional consumption. For both plants and humans, water consumption is a life and death necessity. Just like respiration though, plants and humans differ greatly on the kind of water they need. ...

 

High ph Water

2010-07-05

pH is the term used to measure the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. At 7, the pH level is considered neutral. At 0 to 7, pH is called acidic and from 7 to 14, pH is called basic. The neutral property of water is what makes water so important for sustaining life. Due to its being neutral on a pH scale, water is capable of being moved in and out of the body without causing a change in chemical balance. Despite water generally being neutral, some water can be either acidic or basic in pH, which can cause problems. Basic pH levels are considered high alkaline, meaning it has a higher buffer capacity. A higher buffer capacity means a better chance at keeping things at a neutral level. ...

 

Hard Water and Reverse Osmosis

2010-07-05

That dry itchy feeling you get when you hop out of your shower, that’s from hard water. The soap residue on your sink fixtures and bathtub basins, that’s from hard water. Fading of clothes in the laundry, and spotted dishes from the dishwasher, are all from hard water. Hard water is a problem in over 85% of the United States. Water is considered “hard” when there is a high concentration of dissolved minerals. Of all these minerals, the most prevalent are calcium and magnesium. While hard water doesn’t pose any serious health threat, it does pose the problem of destroying pipes as well as making all processes involving water more difficult than they need to be. In fact, the good thing about hard water is that when it is very hard, it can help contribute to the daily doses of calcium and magnesium. ...
