Alkalarian (al-kah-laire-re-in) : A person and/or a diet that emphasizes predominantly alkaline food, drink and lifestyle, thereby maintaining a balanced acid-alkaline body chemistry for optimal health and vitality. 

What is pH?:
A pH scale is used to measure the amount of acid in a liquid-like water. Because acids release hydrogen ions, the acid content of a solution is based on the concentration of hydrogen ions and is expressed as "pH." This scale is used to measure the acidity of rain samples.

0 = maximum acidity 
7 = neutral point in the middle of the scale
14 = maximum alkalinity (the opposite of acidity)

The smaller the number on the pH scale, the more acidic the substance is. Rain measuring between 4 and 5.5 on the pH scale is acidic and therefore called "acid rain." Small number changes on the pH scale actually mean large changes in acidity.

For example, a change in just one unit from pH 6.0 to pH 5.0 would indicate a tenfold increase in acidity. Clean rain usually has a pH of 5.6. It is slightly acidic because of carbon dioxide which is naturally present in the atmosphere. Vinegar, by comparison, is very acidic and has a pH of 3.

Fat is an Acid Problem!
Dr Robert O Young was the first physician to actively state that we are dying from over-acidity. Perhaps one of Dr. Young's most well known discoveries is his theory of the cause of obesity. He has shown that fat is actually an over-acidification problem. What does that mean? The body creates fat cells to carry acids away from your vital organs, so these acids literally don't choke your organs to death. Fat is saving your life! Fat is actually a response from the body to an alarming over acidic condition. The solution? Alkalize and Energize.

Allergies: The toxins produced within an overly acidic, oxygen deprived body may contribute significantly to what are often called the symptoms of allergy. In addition, the absorption of undigested proteins is a major cause of allergy conditions. The digestive system is weakened, which prevents the total breakdown of amino acids often causing food allergies. This alone my produce a wide spectrum of severe allergic reaction.

Fatigue is probably the major symptom or complaint of an overly acidic body. The toxins produced in an acidic body environment reduce the absorption of protein and minerals, which in turn weakens the body's ability to produce enzymes and hormones. This also interferes with the reconstruction of cells and other necessary components of energy production. The result is fatigue, poor endurance, an inability to add muscle tone, and general weakness.The pH level (the acid-alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. Extended acid imbalances of any kind are not well tolerated by the body. Indeed, the entire metabolic process depends on a balanced internal alkaline environment. A chronically over-acidic pH corrodes body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of veins and arteries like acid eating into marble. If left unchecked, it will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from beating of your heart to the neural firing of your brain. In summary, over-acidification interferes with life itself leading to all sickness and disease!

Alkaline Water: The most important thing you will learn from this Atlantispa website is to hydrate the body with alkalizing water. Like the earth on which we live, our bodies are 70% water. Food cravings are often the body's cry for water, and not just any water, but purified, oxygenated alkaline water..

A thirst for water will develop as one begins to hydrate with water. A diet high in acid foods such as meat, dairy, grains, high sugar fruits, and bread, causes acid wastes to build up in the body. When acid wastes enter our bloodstream, the blood system will attempt to dispose of these wastes in liquid form through the lungs or the kidneys. If there are too many wastes to handle, they are deposited in various organ systems like the heart, pancreas, liver, colon, and other locations. The breakdown of this disposal process of acid waste could also be called "the aging process." To slow down and reverse this process, one must begin by removing this over-acidification of the blood and tissues by including liberal amounts of alkaline water in the diet, such as that produced from the Jupiter water ionizers or from Alkalife droplets in filtered water. Alkaline water has a pH between 9 and 11, and will neutralize harmful stored acid wastes and gently remove them form the tissues.
