Alkaline Water and Dental Problems

We have all had some form of dental problem in our lives, whether it be a cavity, bleeding gums, toothache, etc. Well in all my years of using and selling electric water ionizers, one of the benefits I have discovered is how the alkaline ionized water has helped with my oral hygiene.

Acidity in Your Body and Tooth Decay

When our bodies are too acidic we have natural mechanisms set in place that take certain alkaline minerals from other parts of our body in order to maintain an ideal pH. This is to keep our blood in a slightly alkaline state with a pH of around 7.4. One of the sources of alkaline minerals is calcium from our teeth. Now what happens when calcium is being leached from our teeth to ensure our body maintains a constant pH level? You guessed it – cavities!

But what happens when we maintain an alkaline environment in our body by drinking plenty, and I do mean PLENTY, of alkaline water and eat alkaline foods? Our bodies don't need to tap into its reserves of alkaline minerals and therefore we suffer less, if not no, tooth decay!

Acidity in Your Mouth and Alkaline Water

Drinking alkaline ionized water with a pH of at least 8.8 aids in killing the excess acids in your mouth that also contribute to tooth decay. With our typical American diet, our mouth and saliva are more acidic than they should be. But drinking alkaline water will handle this acidity so that it doesn't wreak havoc on your teeth.

Another facet to this is gingivitis and periodontal disease. It has been shown that rinsing with the acid ionized water effectively kills the bacteria in your mouth that contribute to gum disease.

I recommend using alkaline water to brush with and then rinsing your mouth with acidic ionized water to kill any lingering bacteria. I also suggest rinsing your toothbrush with the acidic water to kill any bacteria on your toothbrush's bristles.

Here are more common ailments that can be remedied by drinking alkaline ionized water.

Alkaline Water and Pregnancy

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!

Medical Research Proves Alkaline Water Aides in Pregnancy

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.

Are You Getting Bored Drinking Plain Water?

Here are some interesting ways to add some spice to your water regimine:

1. Fruit-Infused Water

Yummy! Here are some recipe ideas:

Strawberry Lime Cucumber Mint Water

Blackberry Sage Water

Pineapple OrangeWater

2. Go Herbal

Enjoy a mug of your favorite herbal tea!

Chamomile helps lower blood pressure.

Green tea helps with weight loss.

Ginger soothes an upset stomach and can help relieve arthritis pain and inflammation.

Sage tea helps with excess perspiration.

3. Mix Up Your Ice Cubes

Freeze some fruit in your ice cubes or throw some frozen fruit into your glass of water! Sounds delish!

4. Add Some Juice

Add a splash of 100% fruit juice to your water for a little kick. I like cranberry with some fresh squeezed lime juice, but play with the flavors you like!

5. Add Some Seltzer Water

Add some Perrier to your water for a carbonated version of your H2O. You can also add some fresh fruit, herbs or juice to your carbonated water.

I know that it can be hard to solely drink water day in and day out. But I definitely recommend staying away from soft drinks (both diet and regular, especially diet), sweetened iced tea, sweetened juices, etc.

Play around with these ideas and you'll be drinking plenty of water all summer long!  

Cancer and Alkaline Ionized Water

“When cancer patients come into my office … their bodies are almost always very acidic and toxic. My first task is to get their tissues to alkalinize with alkaline water and alkaline foods.” — Dr. Don Colbert, M.D., author, The Seven Pillars of Health

Body pH and Disease

Most diseases, bacteria and viruses cannot sustain life in a well-oxygenated environment. These pathogens die off when the environment they are in reach a pH of 7.6. When your body becomes too acidic, these pathogens can start growing.

An acidic body starts killing its own healthy cells, has a weakened immune system and cannot fight off disease as well as a more alkaline body.

A medical doctor by the name of Dr. Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1931 for his tremendous discoveries in Medicine. He discovered that cancer cells are not fueled by oxygen as normal cells are. The high levels of oxygen that are found in healthy, alkaline bodies are toxic to cancers. He found that cancers get their energy from sugars and a process of fermentation in acidic environments. He proved empirically the relationship between cancers, acidic body pH, and cellular oxygen starvation. His findings demonstrated that cancers are merely a symptom of acidosis, and therefore it is impossible to truly cure any cancer without first curing the underlying acidosis.

Creating an Alkaline Body

Drinking alkaline ionized water contributes in three ways to creating a more alkaline body.

1) The antioxidant property of the water helps get rid of free radicals in the body that destroy healthy tissue and cells.

2) The micro-clustered water molecules of the alkaline water are far easier for your body to absorb, which helps flush out toxins from your body that lead to an acidic environment.

3) Alkaline water helps balance the pH of the body, making it more alkaline and less acidic. It has an abundance of ionic alkaline minerals and these are more available for your body to use in making it more alkaline.

In this article here I have more research done on this topic, along with quotes from reputable sources, so I highly suggest taking a look at that as well. Doctors/Experts

And I, of course, highly recommend you invest in an electric water ionizer for your continued health and the continued health of your family.
