The Hidden Cause of Aches and Pains and All Natural Remedy for It
Dehydrating Effect of Most Liquids
How can water and other liquids be dehydrating, you ask? Your blood needs to stay at a pH of just under 7.4. If the pH of a beverage is below 7.0, it is considered acidic and thus steals valuable minerals and energy from the body in order to neutralize it, having a dehydrating instead of hydrating effect. Tap water is regulated by the government to be at least a 7.0, while the pH of milk is about a 6.0, the pH of most bottled waters is between 3.5 and 4.5, and sodas, sports drinks, coffee, and alcohol usually have a pH of between 3.5 and 2.0! The pH scale is a logarithmic scale which means the difference between each number is actually 10 times greater than the one before it.
There are a number of painkillers on the market. Unfortunately, all medication (with the exception of some natural and homeopathic remedies) have an acidifying effect on the body. This means that they contribute to an acidic environment which is the opposite of the alkaline environment our body thrives in. Continuous use of over the counter medications for pain relief can actually prolong the problem--by constantly flooding your body with dehydrating and acidifying substances, you are creating an environment where pain and discomfort is likely to occur!
Importance of Staying Hydrated
Staying hydrated can help relieve pain and prevent injuries or discomfort from occurring the first place. Studies have shown that if you have a headache and opt to drink a full glass of water instead of taking a painkiller, the water alone may get rid of the headache. Other studies have shown that arthritic and back pains have a root in inflammation, which may be alleviated and prevented by staying properly hydrated.
How Much Water Do You Need?
We naturally lose an average of two liters of water a day through urination, perspiration, breathing and defecation. It is recommended that we drink a minimum of half our body weight in ounces daily (more if you are active or live in a hot climate) in order to replace the fluids lost and to stay hydrated. But hydrating with the right kind of water is equally as important as drinking enough water.
What is the Best Kind of Water?
Alkaline ionized water hydrates up to six times better than conventional water due to its microclustered size which is more easily absorbed by the body. Unlike acidic liquids, alkaline ionized water nourishes the body by providing bioavailable alkaline minerals instead of robbing the body of minerals. Alkaline ionized water also contains more antioxidants than orange juice, and has the ability to soothe inflammation of many kinds from the inside out. Alkaline ionized water can be produced in your home by hooking a Chanson water ionizer up to your faucet. The machine will allow you to make various pH levels of water, but the optimal drinking level of 9.5 pH supports overall wellness in a way that conventional waters cannot.
All-Natural Topical Pain Relief
In addition to hydrating the body with alkaline ionized water which may help prevent and alleviate pain, a topical application of high alkaline water often provides temporary pain relief. Strong alkaline ionized water neutralizes inflammation in the muscle and reduces oxidation which is a byproduct of inflammation. Just soak a rag in 10+ pH alkaline ionized water from a Chanson Water ionizer and apply to the sore area for a non-addictive, all natural remedy. With this remedy, you may no longer have to worry about the possibility of chemical dependency on over-the-counter and prescription painkillers or the effects those chemicals may have on your body.
