Keeping your health up, from anywhere in the world!

Hello,

Eating healthy, and keeping fit is of course always good.

I don't really want to get into the details here, but this "body pH" interpretation seems quite simplistic. With healthy, unburdened kidneys and liver, blood pH is wonderfully regulated.

I just wanted to point out acidity in most bottled water you'll be measuring is the carbonic acid, you know, from the dissolved carbon dioxide...

It's simplistic because it's a short post, though it still holds true. Unburdened kidneys and liver, well you don't find this very often in those who eat a high content of highly acidic foods such as overly processed foods, sugary soda, and so on. My point was intended to be simple and simply helpful.

I actually had to post a few things for my account to be activated again. So I posted on a topic that I'm well versed in, but without writing a book of all the nuances

For more academic and scientific backing my favorite forum on this topic is found at acidalkalinediet.com

You'll likely find a good spot with your views shared and also plenty of opinions opposed to yours, all backed up by extensive research on both sides, and you'll find many ready for a good debate.

Thanks for you reply Szocske

I'm currently drinking about 2 litres of water a day with a little orange or blackcurrant squash.  That's healthy isn't it?  Just trying to lose a bit of weight after all the Chritmas festivities so gym, diet and drinking loads of water.  (-:

OK, sure, whatever makes people live more healthy :-)

All I'm saying is don't waste pH strips on carbonated water, you exhale the CO2 :-)

Just orange, squash and water? Has that combo worked for you before?

You are no doubt detoxing with the limited substance you are taking in (with less metabolizing food your energy reserves can look to a new project of pulling toxins out of tissues where they may been stored away.)

On top of that -  going to the gym creates additional cellular waste ... might be kind of taxing on the system, no?

But if it's worked for you before and you are in great shape already ... you'll certainly achieve your aim of getting rid of that Christmas excess!

BTW, why did you choose the combo of orange and blackcurrant squash?
