Your body was created to be healthy, energetic, vibrant and resilient. It has an awesome ability to heal itself, when given the proper nutrients and internal environment to do so.
Not all water is the same.
On the face of it, water seems like water. Water from the tap looks like water, smells like water, and tastes like water. But when you look closely, you’ll see that water quality varies tremendously.
Consider just one factor: pH.
According to the official pH scale, water has a pH of 7.0. But in real life, that’s not always the case. Water only has a pH of 7.0 when the hydrogen (H+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions are present in equal quantities. If there are more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions, the water is alkaline. If there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions, the water is acidic.
Your tap water may or may not have a pH of 7.0. In fact, a 2002 annual water quality report found that the pH of New York City tap water varied anywhere from 6.2-8.2. Sounds like the difference between two points, doesn’t it?
Until you realize that pH doesn’t work like regular numbers do, where 6.2 is “one point less” than 7.2. It works logarithmically, just like the Richter scale for earthquakes. That means for each point your water drops away from the neutral point of 7.0, it’s actually experiencing a 10-fold decrease in pH! In other words, water with a pH of 6.2 is 100 times more acidic than water with a pH of 8.2. One hundred times!
Drinking acid water contributes to an acidic system. And that can cause low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even more serious disorders. Plus, an acidic environment makes the perfect breeding ground for microforms, which can further compromise your health.
