My pregnancies were
some of the best times of my life. I loved most everything about
them. And as an expecting mother, whether it's your first pregnancy
or your fifth, you want to do everything right for the little baby
growing inside you. That's why I'm going to go over why drinking
alkaline ionized water is such a fantastic addition to your diet before and during your pregnancy.
Your Body During Pregnancy
When you first
become pregnant your body tends to become more acidic. This is due to
the alkaline minerals being taken from the mother and supplied to the
growing fetus. These are delivered via the umbilical cord. When the
baby consumes these nutrients they produce an acidic waste that is
expelled by way of the placenta. The mother's body has a hard time
neutralizing these acidic wastes and they can build up in her cells.
The baby is also
needing more and more fluid for the growing amniotic sac. You need
plenty of water to help flush out the waste and also supply the
amniotic sac with plenty of hydration.
Many medical
professionals mistakenly think women get dehydrated from all the
nausea and vomiting in the first trimester, but actually it is the
opposite – the nausea and vomiting are caused by being dehydrated
and more acidic. That's why mothers experiencing morning sickness
feel relief right away once they start drinking alkaline ionized
water.
Did you know that by
week 20 you have approximately 50% more blood than before you
conceived? And blood is composed of nearly 50% water? I'm sure you
can see why it is so very important to not only increase your water
intake but to make sure the water you are drinking is hydrating you
to the fullest.
How Alkaline Water Helps Hydrate You
When the alkaline
water is processed in your water ionizer, the molecules are broken
down and made smaller. This enables the cells in your body to absorb
them far easier than regular tap or bottled water.
This then helps
flush out all the acidic waste in your cells and continue
replenishing the fluid in the amniotic sac.
Recent studies in
Japan have found that drinking plenty of alkaline ionized water can
lower your risk of pre-eclampsia. Also, drinking ionized water helps
stabilize blood pressure, reduce water retention and thus eliminate
swollen hands and ankles.
When to Switch to Alkaline Water
It is important that
you don't wait until you have conceived to start drinking plenty of
alkaline water. It is highly beneficial to start prior to conception
to increase the alkalinity of your body and create a reserve of
alkaline nutrients for when conception does take place.
Did you know that
during the course of your pregnancy over 1 trillion divisions of
cells takes place in your womb? That is a lot of cells, each of which
needs water to stay hydrated!
Dr. Watanabe Ifao, head of Gynecology in Japan, worked with tens of thousands of gynecological patients who had pre-eclamptic toxemia and this is what he has to say about alkaline ionized water:
"I found that the women with pre-eclamptic toxemia who consumed antioxidant water tend to deliver healthier babies with stronger muscles."

Also a follow-up survey carried out on babies in this group showed their intelligence was above average.
So go ahead and add that water ionizer to your list of items needed for baby. It really is an important addition to your routine.
