I wrote extensively about liver detoxification. You already know that it is one of the important procedures for detoxifying the body. If you want to have good health until old age, it is worth doing it regularly.
Today we talk in detail about a 14-day liver detoxification program. Below you have everything you need to know to be able to do it and enjoy its benefits. Whether you want to stay in top shape, want to get rid of certain health problems, or lose weight, it is worth doing this program.
The effects of the program are multiple. After this 2-week program you will have more energy, a clearer mind, almost certainly fewer pounds and fewer inches at the waist.
Did I say weight loss? Yes. What does this have to do with the liver? It has a great connection because:
The above are some arguments that should convince you to take good care of your liver. Only you have something to gain from this. You will feel much better when your liver is working optimally. And if you want to lose weight and do not take care to detoxify your liver in the first place, your efforts will not have the success you want.
The liver detoxification program I recommend has two major benefits:
This short program is a healing process to restore liver function. I use in parallel terms such as liver detoxification, liver regeneration, liver recovery, referring to the same thing.
Hereโs how the plan works:
Most of the foods you eat should be raw, high-nutrient, high-fiber vegetables. You can eat any vegetables in unlimited quantities, as long as they are not on the list of foods you should not eat that you find below in the article.
Salads
Ideally, you should eat at least 50% of raw vegetables in salads. You can also eat them steamed. The key is to eat as many vegetables as you can, including between meals. Because they are full of nutrients, it is impossible to eat too much.
Shakes
In addition to salad, a quick way to eat a lot of greens is to โฆ drink them. Iโm not kidding. I mean green shakes of spinach, kale, or mangold. The simple recipe for a shake is:
2. Add 1-2 large hands of spinach, kale, or mangold to the blender
3. Add 1/2 cup of berries (fresh or frozen), apples or other fruits from the list of allowed fruits. The amount of fruit should not exceed 1/3 of the amount of greens.
4.Optionally, you can add something to give flavor to the shake: parsley, ginger, lemon, etc.
5. Mix the contents of the blender until it becomes a homogeneous shake
You will get a quantity of shakes of a few cups. Each cup is the green equivalent of a salad. Drink a cup of green shake and keep the rest in the fridge for the same day. You can drink 1-3 cups a day.
The advantage of shakes is that you can make them quickly and drink them quickly. I know you donโt have enough time in a day to do everything you have to do. Rather than eating a fast food that you eat on the go between two things to do, itโs better to drink a cup of shake that you have prepared in the morning. Itโs faster than eating a sandwich, and it brings you a hundred times more nutrients your body really needs. Thatโs why I say green shakes are healthy fast food.
When a seed begins to germinate, an extraordinary amount of nutrients is released from that seed. For example, 28 grams of broccoli sprouts contain the same amount of cancer-fighting substances as 1.2 kg of boiled broccoli. If your goal is to be healthy and heal your body, germs are essential in your diet.
Consumption of small amounts of germs is equivalent to the consumption of large amounts of vegetables in terms of nutrients.
If you do not like vegetables or you can not eat a lot of vegetables, then add some germs daily to your diet. Put them in the salad as often as possible. You can grow them at home in a germinator or you can find them in natural product stores.
The only fruits you should eat are the ones listed below. You should consume them mostly in the evening, except for apples, which you can consume at any time and in any quantity.
Fruits to eat:
In this program, it is important not to eat more than 1/3 of the fruits you eat. For example, if you ate 1 kg of vegetables a day, you should not eat more than 300 grams of fruit. Apples are not included in this calculation, you can eat as many apples as you want.
Do not eat the following fruits, as they are high in sugar and low in fiber: bananas, dates, figs, raisins, canned fruits, nuts and mangoes.
Avoid fruit juices. The fiber in whole fruits slows down the increase in insulin levels, which is one of the hormones that activates fat deposition. Juices, however, do not contain fiber but have many sugars that lead to increased insulin levels and fat deposition.
You will need to eat a large amount of nuts and seeds between meals to prevent hunger. Walnuts and seeds are full of nutrients, but they must be raw and soaked in water overnight.
2. In the morning, rinse the seeds and nuts several times and let them dry on an airy surface.
3. Set aside the amount you will eat that day, and put the rest in the refrigerator.
Raw almonds and walnuts are best, but you can also eat other seeds such as sesame seeds, cashews, pine seeds, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, pistachios, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds.
You can also eat sesame paste (tahini) or small amounts of peanut butter. Make sure that peanut butter does not contain added sugar or hydrogenated oils.
Avoid any food that contains monosodium glutamate or modified starch. Glutamate is a flavor enhancer that not only makes food taste better, but makes you hungrier. Thatโs why you canโt stop eating just a potato chips, and thatโs why youโre hungry an hour after eating Chinese food. Many foods in restaurants, especially Chinese restaurants, contain this chemical. It also causes a strong water retention in the body.
You can eat a small amount (80-100 gr. Per day) of fresh low-fat cottage cheese or 170-200 gr. low-fat plain yogurt. A little butter is also ok. You can also sprinkle a very small amount of Telemea / feta cheese on salads.
During the detoxification of the liver you will not eat animal proteins (meat, fish, dairy, cheese), except those mentioned above โ small amounts of skimmed cowโs cheese or skimmed yogurt.
However, if on the second or third day you feel dizzy, tired and/or cold due to low blood sugar, if you notice hair loss or if you have a craving for protein, add a small amount of animal protein in it. every day.
If you need to eat animal protein, as mentioned above, the most suitable proteins are:
Start with one egg a day (can be boiled) or a small piece of fish. Donโt eat too much animal protein, just eat the right amount to satisfy your hunger. It is better to eat small amounts more often, because overeating will stress the liver and turn proteins into fat.
Cruciferous vegetables are very rich in nutrients and phytonutrients, which contribute to the regeneration of the liver. If you do not eat too many cruciferous vegetables, sometimes it is worth resorting to a supplement based on them. Nutrients from cruciferous vegetables will provide the raw material for rejuvenating the liver, as well as restoring the potassium reserves of the cells. Cruciferous vegetables have a high potassium content and a low sodium content, so they help balance fluids and slow down the insulin response.
I recommend that you look for a supplement that has at least some of the ingredients below, whether itโs powder, juice extract, germ powder:
You can drink as much water and herbal tea as you want. Green tea (naturally decaffeinated) is another option. Avoid drinking tap water. Choose a very good quality water, filtered or ionized. tk link alkaline water
In the liver detoxification program you will drink a mixture containing unsweetened cranberry juice, lemon and apple cider vinegar. This drink should be drunk three times a day (three 250 ml glasses), in the morning, before lunch and in the evening, before dinner.
If you notice that it is difficult for you to drink the juice, you can reduce the amount of vinegar or not put apple cider vinegar in it. If itโs still hard for you to drink it, you can give it up.
This juice helps eliminate toxins from the liver, restore potassium reserves, balance the bodyโs pH, reduce water retention and strengthen beneficial bacteria in the intestine.
You can exercise during the liver detox program, but only if your energy is high. Do light exercise, where you can keep your heart rate low, below 130 beats per minute.
The first days can be a little harder. It takes 2-3 days until you get used to the new menu and until your body goes from sugar-based to fat-based functioning.
If you are a coffee drinker, the first days without coffee can also be hard. If it is very difficult for you, you can start by diluting your coffee with water more and more every day.
After the 4th day you should feel lighter, start to have a lot of energy and a clearer mind.
You can expect to lose weight in the 14 days, to alleviate your pain, to improve your skin and nails. Your intestinal transit should be better and your energy should be higher. It also usually normalizes blood pressure and cholesterol levels. After this program you will notice that the need for sugar decreases, which will lead to less craving for sweets.
If you have problems with bloating during the program, you have two options:
take a specific enzyme as a supplement, for example betaine hydrochloride or betaine hydrochloride + pepsin; tk link
to reduce the amount of vegetables, excluding those that make you bloated. Pay attention to what you eat. Notice what foods are bloating you and avoid them. If most of the vegetables make you bloated, add a small amount of protein so as not to deprive your body of nutrients.
If you feel tired and do not recover after the first 3 days, start adding a little protein daily (for example, one egg a day, in addition to the already allowed protein, skimmed cowโs cheese or skim yogurt) Continue to add more protein until you feel better. The amount required varies from person to person, depending on body weight and metabolism.
What you will do after the 14 days of treatment depends on your goals and the results obtained in the 14 days. You have two options:
If you are feeling well and losing weight, have no appetite for protein and are not tired, I recommend that you stay on your liver detox diet for as long as you can, before returning to your regular diet or switching to a healthy diet. another diet. If your liver has been in bad shape, it will take some time for it to recover. Donโt expect your liver to fully regenerate in two weeks; this is just the beginning.
Your body will tell you when it needs more protein and you need to interrupt the program.
If you have decided to end the liver detox diet, you can gradually return to your normal diet, or increase the amount of protein in your diet and then continue with the right diet for your body type.
My suggestion is to do liver detoxification two or three times a year. If you want to keep your liver in perfect shape, you can do this program even every two months.
I recommend that you stock up on the foods allowed for the program before you start, and think about different menus for at least a few days in advance, ideally for a week. One of the biggest obstacles when you want to follow a diet different from your usual eating style is not to have the necessary food at hand. When you are hungry, if you do not have the right foods for liver detoxification, you will be tempted to resort to inappropriate foods.
Also prepare the right food for the office, or check if the places where you usually buy or order food have good dishes on the list for the liver regeneration program. Beware of salads, it is preferable to order them without dressing, because it usually has added sugar or additives.
To make it easier for you, we will prepare a list of different dishes that you can eat in this program. We will publish it here so that you can download and print it. You can put it in the kitchen so you donโt run out of ideas.
Now that you have everything planned and ready, itโs time to give your liver a pleasant surprise and start the program. I recently did this liver detoxification treatment. I wrote down what happened during the 14 days and wrote an article about it. If you want to see how it was for me, I invite you to read the article How I detoxified my liver this spring.
After you detoxify your liver, or even while you do it, tell us what results or challenges you have by writing a comment on this article. We will help you with everything we can. Good luck!
You set out to lose weight. You found a diet that several people told you worked. Youโve started holding it, or maybe youโve already completed it.
You are satisfied with the results. If you keep it that way, by the end of the cure you will surely lose the โXโ kilograms that you have set for yourself. Or, if you have already finished the diet, from now on you will be much more careful about what you eat, so that you do not gain weight.
But at some point, you just feel like something.
Everything you set out to do, that you will no longer eat sweets, that you will no longer eat flour, is as if it did not exist. Cravings take control. Before you know what youโre doing, youโre done with chocolate, or pizza, or a portion of french fries, or a bag of chips.
Iโm not saying you should never eat any of the above. We all grew up eating them, and itโs very hard to just give them up, just because you found out theyโre not healthy or that youโre gaining weight. Logic has no power over lust. Not in the long run.
What can you do then? There are solutions, and this is exactly what I want to offer you in this article: intelligent solutions through which you can reduce or cancel your cravings so that you can lose weight more easily or maintain your ideal weight.
Letโs see first why lust is your enemy when you want to lose weight.
Many people think they are gaining weight because they eat too many calories. It is not like that. You can eat a lot of calories from salad or vegetables and you will not gain weight. But if you eat fewer calories from bread, rice, potatoes, sweets, you will deposit fat. It is not the number of calories in food that matters the most, but their glycemic index, which shows how quickly that food turns into sugar / glucose in the body. And it also matters a lot how much potassium you have in your diet.
The foods we usually crave, such as sweets, flour, starches, quickly turn into glucose in the body. This causes your blood sugar to rise rapidly, and then insulin, the hormone that lowers blood sugar, is activated.
The problem is that insulin is one of the hormones that causes fat deposition. The sugar that insulin removes from the blood is converted into fat when there is not enough potassium available. Every time your craving makes you eat foods with a high glycemic index, insulin comes into action and creates fat while lowering your blood sugar.
You donโt even need a lot of calories to activate insulin. You can eat two cookies, and youโve already triggered your insulin response. You donโt need a lot of calories to lose weight. It is enough to activate insulin regularly.
If you have a slower metabolism, each time the insulin response is activated, fat burning is blocked for 24-72 hours.
If you eat a diet based on salads and vegetables to lose weight, but every two days you eat a cake, your chances of losing weight are minimal. That is why you need to understand what are the causes of cravings and what you can do to get rid of their domination.
Appetite has two types of causes: physiological or emotional.
In this article we will only talk about physiological / physical causes. We will also address emotional causes in other future articles.
Physically speaking, when you crave a certain thing, your body tells you that it is missing something. The problem is, you donโt understand whatโs missing, and you give your body something other than what it needs. The body will continue to signal to you that it needs something, even if you think you gave it what it wanted.
Below you will find the causes of the most common cravings and solutions you can apply to reduce cravings.
Cause: lack of potassium
The body reserves fuel, which it uses for its rapid needs. The fuel is called glycogen and is a molecule composed of molecules of glucose and potassium. Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles and is used whenever the body needs energy for effort.
When you do not have enough potassium available in your body, a problem arises. Even if you ate foods that brought a lot of glucose into your body, your body can only produce glycogen within the limit of available potassium. All other sugars that cannot be converted to glycogen are converted into fat and stored.
The problem is even bigger, in fact. Because the necessary glycogen stores could not be created, the body sends you the message that you need to eat more, because it knows that it still needs to create glycogen stores. If you eat something that contains enough potassium, your body will be able to produce the necessary glycogen and the feeling of hunger will disappear. If what you eat is not enough potassium, appetite and hunger will continue, and what you eat will be largely turned into fat.
Solution: Eat at least the equivalent of 7 cups of green vegetables daily.
In order to have enough potassium in your body, you need to eat enough green vegetables. An amount of 7 cups of greens per day (about two servings of salad) gives you the potassium needed to create enough glycogen.
I donโt know anyone who eats two salads of greens a day. The solution to bring enough potassium into your body, when you are not eating two servings of salad daily, is to add to your daily diet some of the alternatives below:
a green shake (spinach, mangold, or kale) or,
a portion of green wheat or barley juice, freshly squeezed or obtained from wheat or barley grass powder
a cruciferous supplement (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.)
If you have added enough greens to your diet, but the craving for sweets persists, this may be a sign that you need more protein in your diet. Add protein, especially for breakfast. Protein eaten in the morning stabilizes blood sugar levels during the day and reduces the risk of making you crave sweets in the evening.
Cause: lack of B vitamins
When you feel like craving bread, your body actually asks you for B vitamins.
Solution: Eat 1 teaspoon of inactive yeast each day. You can take it as such, you can put it in salads, yogurt, etc. It tastes good, some even call it โvegan parmesanโ. It can be bought at any health food store.
Cause: lack of serotonin
Solution:
Cause: salt deficiency in the body.
The body needs certain minerals, including sodium. When you go on a salt-free diet, your body may become deficient in sodium. Even when you put salt in food, if you use refined salt, your body may become deficient in certain trace elements. The refined salt contains only sodium and chlorine, without other minerals.
Through the desire to salt, your body signals that it lacks minerals. If you eat salty foods with refined salt, you will almost certainly not bring the missing minerals into your body. But there is salt that in addition to sodium and chlorine has many other minerals needed by the body. One such salt is sea salt.
Solution: use sea salt in food
Cause: saturated fat deficiency
Unsaturated fats are essential for a healthy diet. But you also need a certain amount of saturated fat in your diet. Saturated fats are the ones that give you the feeling of satiety.
Solution: Add more saturated fats to your diet: butter, bacon, bacon, yogurt. Add more nutrient-rich foods and green vegetables to your diet. When you eat protein, eat vegetables with them. Proteins alone do not satisfy your hunger.
Cause: nutrient deficiency in the diet
When you eat, the body expects to receive the nutrients it needs for optimal functioning and regeneration: protein, unsaturated fats, minerals, vitamins. If the food you eat is โempty of nutrientsโ, even if you eat a lot, your body will still tell you that it has not received enough nutrients. As a result, you will feel that you are not full.
Another reason may be that you do not digest the foods you eat well enough. Due to poor digestion, even if you eat foods with enough nutrients, the body does not benefit from these nutrients, because they are not extracted from food by digestion.
Solution:
Itโs not smart to try to deny your cravings. Even if you want to lose weight or you want to stay, you donโt have to pretend that you donโt have cravings, when you actually have them. The best option is to apply the above solutions or eat the healthy options of the foods you crave.
Are there healthy alternatives to โunhealthyโ foods? Yes, and below you will find some suggestions.
Use sweeteners such as xylitol, sorbitol, stevia instead. Put them in tea, coffee, or mineral water.
Buy sweets with xylitol, sorbitol, stevia. There is chocolate, jams, soft drinks sweetened with these sweeteners. Just look at the label.
Note: I do not recommend โDietโ or โZero sugarโ soft drinks if they are sweetened with Aspartame or similar substances. There is evidence that Aspartame is harmful to long-term health, and it is best to avoid it. There is a debate on this topic, there are pros and cons, but until the situation is definitively clarified, my suggestion is to go for the safe options.
Any of the above alternatives you will use, you will reduce the number of times you will activate insulin or at least the intensity of its activation, which will help you lose weight easier or not put back the pounds you just lost.ย
Who doesnโt like to nibble on some chips? I like one. Maybe itโs the habit, maybe itโs their taste. French fries are tempting for anyone, and chips like that are after all. With a high glycemic index, plus an amount of refined salt added, the chips can also block your fat burning or cause fat deposition due to the insulin response.
Fortunately, you no longer have to be frustrated because you are not allowed to eat chips. Lately there have been all kinds of chips from which you can eat as much as you want, without the risk of gaining weight:
All of the above are as tasty as potato chips, but without their disadvantages. Where can you find wonder chips? Here are some sources, but donโt go shopping until you read the whole article: kale chips and beet chips.
Make cakes according to recipes that use something other than wheat flour for the dough. There are countertops that can be made from ground walnut and egg, or from almond flour. Obviously, use xylitol or another sweetener without a glycemic index as a sweetener for these recipes.
As you can see, you can satisfy some cravings without gaining weight, if you replace the foods you crave with others without a glycemic index. You can reduce other cravings if you give your body the nutrients it needs.
What desires do you have most often? Tell me in the comments on the article. If your desires also provoke you, put the above solutions into practice and come back and tell me what has changed. If you still know greedy people, share the article so they can read it too!
And, donโt forget: make your cravings โฆ but in a smart way!
Buying a water ionizer is a serious investment that will change your life. Unfortunately, for many this is a difficult process. There are so many alternatives. So much head-to-head information, and so much exaggerated publicity.
To all this is now added another option that you need to consider: the hydrogen generator. Unfortunately, there is already misinformation and over-advertising around these devices. This makes your task, which was already difficult, even more difficult.
Because Alkaviva imports and offers both water ionizers and hydrogen generators, we can compare the two technologies objectively. This article will help clarify the benefits of both types of devices, dismantle some of the exaggerated or erroneous information, and make it easier for you to make the right decision.
A hydrogen generator (H2) produces and dissolves molecular hydrogen in an electrolysis chamber, just like a water ionizer. The difference between them is the membrane. New technologies in hydrogen generators use special proton exchange membranes (PEMs), as opposed to ion exchange membranes used in water ionizers. This is the technical part.
Proponents of hydrogen generators make everything sound complex and new, but this type of membrane has been around for some time. It is widely used by researchers in the automotive industry who want to obtain electricity from hydrogen. Hydrogen generators work the other way around: they use electricity to create hydrogen. Leaving aside the technical terms, things are pretty simple.
One difference of the new technology is that it does not depend on the alkaline mineral content of tap water to create hydrogen. Another difference is that the new generators create hydrogen without increasing the pH, which means that the device creates water with hydrogen but without creating alkaline water.
Unfortunately, some of the promoters of hydrogen generators exaggerate a lot when they claim the superiority of hydrogen generators over water ionizers. They are very critical of water ionizers, which in the end were the first to give us the opportunity to drink hydrogen water, while hydrogen generators had not yet been invented.
Are hydrogen generators โfar superiorโ to water ionizers? All water ionizers? We donโt believe that.
Even though our Ionpia H2 hydrogen generator consistently produces high concentrations of molecular hydrogen (H2) on a variety of water sources, on many water sources and a traditional water ionizer (especially the new advanced H2 series from Alkaviva) it performs just as well. In addition, water ionizers give you other benefits in addition to producing hydrogen water.
The increased number of contaminants in tap water is not new. Alkaviva has spent years perfecting its patented US-made UltraWater filtration technology. UltraWater filters reduce most contaminants in mains water, including those that are most difficult to remove, by 99.9%, as evidenced by tests performed in independent laboratories certified by the EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency).
Some hydrogen generators, such as the Ionpia H2 model from Alkaviva, have a dual filtration system consisting of a block-type carbon filter and a 0.01 micron membrane filter. This filtration system provides a good removal of chlorine and other contaminants that activated carbon removes, a good reduction of microorganisms due to the 0.10 micron membrane, but will remove little of other types of contaminants.
You can order the Ionpia H2 hydrogen generator together with an optional external UltraWater filter. That means you can have the purest hydrogen water. Other hydrogen generators do not provide satisfactory solutions for this important aspect of health and safety which is water filtration.
An interesting benefit of the water ionizer is that during the ionization process, the levels of fluorine and chemical compounds such as nitrates, phosphates and cyanides are much lower because they are attracted to acidic water. Alkaviva has results from tests done at the University of Nevada in Reno that prove this benefit.
A justified reproach to some models of water ionizers is that in areas with hard water on the electrodes minerals can be deposited, which quickly reduces the concentration of hydrogen (H2) generated close to zero. This is especially true for older technology ionizers that clean the electrodes only at certain intervals, or require manual cleaning with citric acid at short intervals.
AlkaViva introduced the patented DARC authorization technology in 2006. It cleans the electrodes each time the device is used while it is operating. Over the years, it has been proven repeatedly that our ionizers do NOT accumulate mineral deposits in the electrolysis chamber. Equally important is the fact that we have created for the first time a range of technologies that prevent the accumulation of salt deposition before and after the electrolysis chamber, even in areas with very hard water.
The promoters of the new hydrogen generators claim that mineral deposits never appear in their devices due to the nano-filtration membrane (placed after the first two filters) which would remove the minerals that can be deposited. We believe that nano-filtering is effective. They describe an unclear process in which the minerals that can be deposited are removed from the water, then reintroduced into the water again in another part of the process.
Based on the data we have and our expertise, we wonder how the concept of โreturning minerals to waterโ will work after years of operation. You can expect to deposit in the device anyway, before and after the nano-filtration membrane. Thatโs why we recommend solutions to prevent mineral deposition to protect your hydrogen generator. Simply put, if you use hard water in any appliance, mineral deposits will appear. You want to protect your device against damage caused by it.
The vast majority of research done over the past 30 years on the benefits of ionized alkaline water has been done on water produced by an electric water ionizer.
Millions of people who have been drinking ionized alkaline water for the past 35-40 years have reported a variety of positive health effects, and researchers have certified many of them. These proven beneficial results have also led to the classification of water ionizers as medical devices in Japan and Korea.
We now know that most ionizers produce molecular hydrogen (H2), which is dissolved in different concentrations in alkaline water. Since the publication of the first research on the health benefits of molecular hydrogen in 2007 (1), many researchers are now convinced that molecular hydrogen (H2) is probably the main cause of the health benefits of ionized alkaline water. (2,3)
Some research suggests that elevated levels of dissolved H2 in water have greater therapeutic effects in certain diseases. Different models of water ionizers differ greatly in their ability to produce H2. Some produce negligible amounts (0.1 โ 0.2 ppm), while others (such as those in the Alkaviva H2 series) produce molecular hydrogen to near saturation (around 1.2 ppm).
Important: Even a less efficient water ionizer produces much more molecular hydrogen (H2) dissolved in water than that found in sources with recognized therapeutic properties commonly referred to on the Internet: Nordenau (Germany), Lourdes (France), Tlacote (Mexico), Nadana (India).
In water ionizers, high concentrations of H2 usually occur in water with high pH, โโwhich some people do not like. If this happens to you, add a little lemon juice.
Vesta H2 is perhaps the only ionizer on the market that offers you the best of both worlds: an excellent level of molecular hydrogen (H2), at a lower pH level, where the water tastes good.
We appreciate the fact that hydrogen generators do a good job (at least in the beginning) in producing very good concentrations of molecular hydrogen. But there are new devices. They still donโt have a 35-year history of consumer use. In addition, there is still no direct comparison made by researchers to show whether the effects of water with hydrogen that has a neutral pH are as good as those of ionized alkaline water.
Alkaline or neutral?
Molecular hydrogen generators cannot change the pH of water. Water ionizers can increase or decrease the pH of the water and thus create modified water in several ways, such as:
In some circles the notion of structured water is now considered pseudo-science even by those who promoted it in the past. They are based only on the interpretation of a single authority in hydrogen water which denies the possibility that research has not yet proven or unanimously and definitively refuted the claims regarding the structure of water.
In connection with this, we prefer to accept that, in the evolution of all sciences, many new things can and will be discovered. For example, 5 years ago Dr. Gerald Pollackโs theory of water exclusion was an assumption and had not yet been proven. Now it is a proven fact. Therefore, we consider that no definitive conclusion has been reached in the research on water structure.
Published research on alkaline mineral waters and the pH balance in the human body is promising (4,5) and supports the hypothesis that needs further research that the pH of ionized alkaline water may have the same effects. The benefits of hydroxyl ion for alkalizing the body have not yet been fully determined, as the correct questions have not yet been asked in research.
Even so, millions of people believe that alkaline ionized water has helped them improve a wide range of health problems, brought them increased energy, mental clarity and endurance, helped them maintain a proper pH in the body and improved well-being in general. Is it just a placebo effect? The results reported are too many, too consistent and stretch for too long, so we believe it is not the placebo effect.
Water ionizers do more than produce molecular hydrogen (H2) water for drinking. They create different types of water, with different functions. They also produce alkaline water but also acidic water. Many users use only strongly acidic or strongly alkaline water for cleaning and disinfecting the house, saving substantial amounts and reducing the amount of chemicals used.
Hydrogen generators are new in technology. The companies that sell them are just as new. So far. Only Alkaviva gives you the certainty of a 13-year history of sales and service of the most advanced and advanced water ionizers, which in turn have a history of 35 years.
Now we also offer you the premium hydrogen generator Ionpia H2. Both our ionizers and our generators give you the safety and certainty of UltraWater filtering.
Only AlkaViva recommends and can offer you tested and proven solutions for testing water quality and treating it before ionization, plus filtration that removes 99% of contaminants. These things are very important. Unfortunately, our industry is full of online stores that claim that their product is the best, but offer nothing more than carbon filters. More unpleasantly, some of these providers disappear leaving customers without exchange or service filters.
Whether you choose the new Ionpia H2 hydrogen generator or one of the Alkaviva H2 series water ionizers, you will get a contaminant-free water, with a very good taste, with an excellent level of dissolved molecular hydrogen (H2).
Which of the two options you choose โ hydrogen generator from Alkaviva or water ionizer from Alkaviva โ you canโt go wrong, both are excellent options. In addition, you have the peace of mind that you can rely on a company with a solid history behind it.

One of the biggest challenges people face today is weight loss. Letโs be honest, we all went through this: we tried the so-called miraculous diets, we made a subscription to the gym, maybe we even resorted to supplements but the results left much to be desired.
Well, itโs time to say goodbye to the odiously restrictive diets that never seem to end with unnecessary calorie counting, with the help of these simple steps for a healthy and effective weight loss.
In the fight against weight, it is essential to feel full. Therefore, a protein-rich breakfast is very effective in satisfying your appetite and helping you eat healthier throughout the day, without fear that you may succumb to the temptation to eat unhealthy food.
To influence what you eat the rest of the day, you can start the day with eggs, high-fiber cereals or yogurt with high-fiber seeds, nuts or berries, smoked salmon, which also contains omega 3 fats. Also necessary protein It can be supplemented with supplements such as protein powders, which are extremely effective in losing weight.
The easiest way to stay hydrated is to drink water. If you do this before meals, it is even better because it will give you the feeling that you are full and you will not feel the need to eat more than you should.
In addition, if you work out, water is essential to hydrate the body. This is so that it produces energy and can support the effort to which it is subjected.
When you adopt a routine for a longer period of time, your body gets used to it and you no longer notice significant changes in terms of weight loss.
Therefore, any change in your daily activities, no matter how small, can have a positive impact; whether you choose to take a 10-minute walk instead of driving or climbing stairs instead of taking an elevator, try to take advantage of any opportunity to travel more, especially if it stimulates calorie burning.
Itโs no secret that eating in the city is convenient and enjoyable. However, if you want to lose some extra pounds, it is best to prepare your food at home.
When cooking at home you can more easily monitor the amount of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins consumed, because you control and decide what ingredients to use and in what amount, unlike a meal at a restaurant that does not know if it gives you too little of the nutrients. which you need too much of the calories you are trying to avoid.
In addition, the food you prepare at home contains less sodium and fat, which can make a big difference in your weight loss plan. If you lack ideas, you can be inspired by these recipes specially created for a healthy weight loss diet!
Weight loss is supported by training, but it becomes almost impossible if you eat more often than going to the gym. Especially if the refrigerator is full of unhealthy food.
So, a trip to the supermarket can help or ruin your weight loss plan if you fill your shopping cart with the wrong things. Try to buy healthy food for the whole week so that you can prepare delicious but healthy meals and stay away from processed foods and unhealthy snacks.
Donโt deprive yourself of something you really like. In order to be able to maintain a long-term diet and achieve your weight loss goals, you should not always eat the same things but dream with your eyes open to the delicious dessert that you really like.
Therefore, to avoid any cravings that may affect your weight loss plan, try to get about 10% of your calorie intake from the foods you like. In this way, you will be able to enjoy your favorite dessert, while remaining on the right path to the desired figure.
When you start a diet and hope to lose weight, do not expect to have amazing results immediately. When you have high expectations, you may end up disappointed.
The best thing would be to set a separate goal and focus on achieving it. After completing it, move on to the next one, and so on. A small step for man, a huge leap towards a successful weight loss!

What would you do if you found out today that there is someone in your house who is poisoning you slowly, day in and day out? Or that an uninvited guest has just entered the basement of your house and is consuming your food supplies? Or that someone throws chemical or biological waste in your home every day to make you sick? Or if you see on your body a tick that feeds on your blood?
I am convinced that you would do everything in your power to get rid of any of the above problems.
But what would you do if all of the above were the work of an author invisible to you? If you could not see either the author or the results of his actions? In this case, even if your life would be in danger, you would do nothing, because you would not be aware of the problem.
Thatโs why Iโm telling you something unpleasant now, but important to you. You are not alone in your body. Outside of you, the โownerโ of the body, it is very possible that you have more unwanted guests than you imagine. Who they are, how bad they hurt you and how you can get rid of them you will find out by reading on.
The unwelcome guests we unwittingly host are known as parasites.
The parasites I refer to in this article are parasitic worms, which can be wide or cylindrical. Another name used for them is that of helminths.
Not all worms are parasites (helminths). Of the many species of worms that exist, some live โon their own.โ A good example is the commonplace earthworm, which lives underground and does us no harm. But some worms live in other living organisms, using their resources for their own survival. Only these are called helminths.
Parasites in the human body are worms that feed on the nutrients that should normally feed your body. They may exist in the intestines or other cavities, but there are also parasites that live in the tissues.
Helminths are extremely fertile, with some species laying up to 600 million larvae a year. Also, because the body has no natural enemies, they can sometimes grow to impressive sizes. There are examples of botryocephalus worms that have reached 10 meters. And this while they were in a manโs body!
Parasites can live longer than you think. Ascarids (worms) live up to a year and a half, and botryocephalus (broadworms) can live for more than 25 years.
Did you know that there are about 300 parasitic worms in humans?
You may be wondering if you may have parasites in your body. Here are some facts that might make you think. According to the World Health Organization (WHO):
Here are the effects of parasite infestation worldwide, according to WHO data:
Sounds awful? Maybe it would be if there were no solutions. I have provided you with the above data to draw your attention and to become aware of the danger that parasites pose to your health and life. And to have enough motivation to act and eliminate unwanted guests who consume your resources and poison you.
In order to better understand what parasites do in the human body, I will give you examples of concrete problems caused by parasites.
Parasites have no interest in killing their host, so their presence in the body is quite difficult to detect, especially in the beginning. But if they are allowed to grow and multiply freely, they can cause a number of problems.
Worms that live in your intestines or tissues feed on the nutrients that should provide you with energy and cell regeneration. Parasites can consume between 15-25% of the nutrients you eat. They consume essential vitamins for you, trace elements and sugars. Often a severe hunger is a sign of the presence of parasites in the body, which consumes carbohydrates that should give you energy. Thus they literally steal your energy and cause premature aging.
Does it seem hard to believe that parasites can โstealโ a quarter of your food? Not after watching the video below. This is the case of a 3-year-old child who was operated to remove parasites from his large intestine.
Other parasites are not only satisfied with your food, but eat your blood directly. For example, a pinworm can absorb up to 40 ml of blood in 24 hours. As a result, the infected patient appears medically to have anemia. But if he is treated for anemia, nothing will work out, because the parasite will still be there.
Parasites can exist in any part of the body: intestines, lungs, eyes, brain, even in the heart and stomach.
Imagine a few 2-3 meter worms living in a gut. Due to their length, they will not be able to stand unfolded, but will gather in the form of a clump that can cause:
In both cases the solution is surgery.
The intestinal worms are also fixed with suction cups or hooks to the intestinal wall. This leads to the erosion of the intestinal mucosa in that place, leading to bleeding, pain or even intestinal necrosis.
But worms can also live in tissues, so they can reach any organ and compromise its functioning. Echinococcus, which usually settles in the liver and produces hydatid cyst, can also live in the brain. As it increases in volume โ and due to the rigidity of the skull โ it causes cerebral ischemia and cortical atrophy.
Other worms can live in the bile ducts, sometimes blocking the total elimination of bile. Infested patients arrive at the hospital diagnosed with hepatitis or biliary dyskinesia, although the cause of the problem is parasites.
If you have a strong heart, watch the next movie. If you donโt want to risk it, you can find the story of this real case below.
Here is the short story. A man who had heart pain was diagnosed with a heart tumor (cancer) due to a large outgrowth that was observed on his heart on an ultrasound examination.
The man was scheduled for surgery to have his tumor removed, and the operation was filmed for medical studentsโ use. The surprise came when instead of the tumor, surgeons discovered a large colony of flatworms. So big that it seriously disturbed the functioning of the heart.
Parasites not only feed on your nutrients, but also intoxicate your body with their excretion products. Moreover, some parasites secrete certain very strong toxic substances in certain periods of life, which they eliminate in the body. They are absorbed into the bloodstream and then mainly affect the nervous and muscular tissue.
Parasites are a source of intoxication of the body even after they die, because their body decomposes and the toxic substances in it are eliminated in the human body.
Another source of allergies in the body in the presence of parasites is the reaction of the immune system to them.
The presence of parasites in the body can cause problems such as:
The above problems can have many other causes, not only the presence of parasites. But keeping parasites under control through preventive and deworming measures reduces the risk of these health problems in your life.
Even though parasites are very dangerous to you, they are just as easy to control as they are to cause you discomfort.
First of all, you donโt have to worry or blame yourself if you didnโt know about the danger that parasites pose to you. It is not your fault, it is not a very approached subject and there is not enough education on this subject. Maybe itโs because most people arenโt aware of the danger, and because theyโre generally ashamed to admit it when theyโre infested with parasites.
It is inevitable that at some point in your life you will have parasites in your body. Their eggs and larvae are almost everywhere in the environment we live in, so it is impossible not to come in contact with them. That is why deworming must be a constant concern, not just something you use only in case of force majeure.
Hereโs how you can prevent parasites from entering your body and how you can eliminate those that are already there.
There are plants, fruits or spices that have an antiparasitic effect, some of which can be found below:
Hygiene rules are essential to protect yourself from parasites. The above herbs and spices are also helpful if you use them in your diet. But if you want to be sure that you are safe and that you prevent the development of parasites in your body, I recommend that you do a regular prophylactic deworming program.
My advice is to do a preventive deworming every month once every 3-4 months (3-4 times a year). If you find it too much, I remind you that veterinarians recommend those who have dogs or cats to deworm them every 3 months. If they need and deserve a quarterly deworming, we certainly need it too. And we deserve it. Really, why donโt doctors tell us to have regular deworming?
For one month:
1. Eat more high-fiber plant foods than usual. Add nuts, seeds, raw vegetables, fermented dairy products and as many of the plants and spices as possible to the diet.
2. Reduce the consumption of salt, sugar, coffee, sweets, alcohol, citrus fruits, potatoes, meat, carbonated drinks, eggs, white bread.
3. Use natural deworming products. I use and recommend the products you find here and here, but you can find other similar products on the market if you search.
4. Help your body eliminate parasites and their debris
5. Repeat the process in 3-4 months.
Sounds hard? Is not. Donโt be discouraged by the fact that the list has 4 steps. I reformulate it to see that it is simple:
1. Eat lighter foods and reduce your intake of animal protein, flour and sweets as much as you can
2. Take natural deworming products
3. Repeat the process in 3-4 months
If you know for sure that you have parasites or if you have certain diseases that you cannot get rid of and that can be caused by parasites, do a therapeutic deworming. Apply the above deworming process, but for a period of 3-6 months.
Now you know how important it is to periodically have a prophylactic deworming, and what are the risks you are exposed to if you neglect the parasites and do not keep them under control. You also have a model of deworming program that you can apply tomorrow.
Itโs your turn. Make yourself a dewormer. If you have a family and possibly children, it is ideal to do it together. Then write to me and tell me how you feel. My bet is that you will have more energy, you will feel easier and with more zest for life.
The subject of parasites and deworming is quite broad. I have not exhausted this topic and I promise to return with other articles on this topic. But you have enough information to understand why deworming is important to you and how you can do effective deworming. If you still need information or details before you start, contact me and I will help you.

Have you ever felt that you are doing everything you need to lose weight, but you are not getting the results you want? Did you feel like you were missing something?
Maybe you went on a special diet to lose weight, or maybe you just drastically reduced the amount of food, sometimes to the point of starvation. And yet, the scales seem to โnot keep upโ with your efforts.
Or maybe you have a slow digestion, often have problems with bloating, and feel tired all the time?
Well, I have good news for you. Often all this has a cause that you do not suspect, but which fortunately is easy to eliminate. Read on, I will share the secret that will help you lose weight more easily, have more energy, get rid of bloating, slow digestion, sinusitis and other diseases.
It is important to drink enough water every day if you want to stay young, healthy, look good and be full of energy.
In addition to the quality and quantity of the water you drink, how you drink the water is vital to you. So how do you drink water?
We learn the ways we eat and drink water as children. We have been accustomed to drinking water since we were children. There is also a saying among the people that โwater is good if you have something to drink after itโ. And since almost all people drink water right after eating, we donโt think there could be anything wrong with that. You probably do the same.
Drinking water immediately after eating is a bad habit, which creates many problems that you do not even suspect. Itโs not your fault you do this, we were all taught the same in childhood, and we all pull the strings. Thereโs no point in blaming yourself. But it is in your power to change this habit and enjoy more energy and a leaner body. The solution is simple, you can find it below.
Imagine that you have a house that you heat with a wood stove or a fireplace. Itโs cold and damp outside, and itโs the same in your house โ before you light a fire. Once you have lit the fire and it burns hard, the house is warm and the excess moisture disappears. You feel good in your well-heated room. If the air is too dry, you can put a pot of water near the fireplace.
But what if as soon as you light a fire in the fireplace, you throw a bucket of water over the fire? The fire will be extinguished or burnt just smoldering, and the room will remain cold and damp. After a while, you light the fire again to warm yourself, then immediately throw a bucket of water over it. Sounds crazy, doesnโt it? You would never do that at home.
And yet, in a way, you do this several times a day, inside your body, when you drink water immediately after eating.
In traditional European, Indian and Chinese medicine, there is the term โdigestive fireโ. It refers to the function of the stomach and small intestine and has a very important role in the body:
When the digestive fire is strong, the man is full of vigor and has a good physical and mental tone.
When the digestive fire is weak, according to traditional medicine, โmoistureโ accumulates in the body, just as in an unheated house there is moisture and mold that destroy the walls and make the air unbreathable. The โmoistureโ described in traditional medicine appears in the body as excess mucus and toxins.
The effects of a weak digestive fire:
When you eat, your stomach secretes gastric juice to break down food. It is a combination of water, hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes, and has an acidic character. Normally, food that reaches the stomach will be broken down by digestive enzymes. Then the nutrients will pass into the small intestine to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
But if you drink water immediately after eating, the water reaches the stomach and dilutes the gastric juice, which makes the digestive enzymes can no longer break down food. Thus, they pass into the intestine largely undigested. Because of this:
Maintaining a normal weight and burning excess fat depends on your metabolism, ie the bodyโs ability to convert nutrients into energy.
If your metabolism is too slow, you will โburnโ fat too slowly and you will not be able to lose weight.
And metabolism is just a physical manifestation of the digestive fire in traditional medicine. A good digestive fire means a faster metabolism. โLight upโ your digestive tract again and you will lose weight much faster.
If you have come this far, you already know the simple method that will help you lose weight more easily and have more energy.
Itโs that simple. Do this for 30 days and I guarantee that you will have more energy, you will lose weight faster, you will get rid of bloating, sinusitis and more.
How do I know the method works and how can I guarantee you? Here is my story.
A few years ago, every morning I woke up irritated, with an unpleasant sensation in the forehead area, above the eyes, and behind the eyes. It gave me a bad mood and ruined every beginning of the day. Every day. I had sinusitis.
Also during that period, I discovered by studying traditional Chinese medicine the effects that โmoistureโ has on the human body. I also found out that by changing the way I drink water I can reactivate my digestive fire. So I decided on the spot to do an experiment and stop drinking water right after dinner.
The results appeared immediately. In less than a month, I noticed that I woke up in the morning without the annoying feeling of irritation behind my eyes and forehead. It was a great joy for me, because I didnโt even know what it was like to wake up in the morning.
So I tell you from my own experience, the method works and will bring you the expected benefits if you use it.
When you start to refrain from drinking water immediately after a meal, it may be difficult at first, due to habit. To quench your thirst, drink a cup of hot tea or a small glass of hot water after a meal. Thirst will disappear.
Listen to your body. At first, try not to drink water an hour after eating. After a while, you will realize for yourself if and how much you can reduce the one-hour interval. For me, 40 minutes is enough, but 30 minutes is too little. If you feel the need to reduce the time you do not drink water after a meal, experiment. Drink water after 50 minutes and see how you feel. If itโs ok, you can try for 40 minutes. After you reactivate your digestive fire you will feel very clear when โyou poured the bucket of water on the fireโ and turned it off.
If you want to reduce internal humidity even more, reduce the consumption of dairy products, cheeses and carbohydrates (especially those that contain refined sugar).
Now you know how to drink water to lose weight faster, have better digestion, get rid of chronic fatigue, bloating, sinusitis and other diseases caused by poor digestive fire.
Before I finish, Iโll tell you something else. We talked about how to drink water to make it easier for you to lose weight. What I want you to know is that there is water that helps you lose weight more easily, because it helps you eliminate acidic waste from the body. I mean alkaline water. Itโs worth finding out more about.
Itโs your turn. Apply what you just learned (itโs simple), and enjoy the results. Donโt forget to tell me how it works for you by leaving a comment on this article, or on our Facebook or Google+ pages. If you have any questions, I canโt wait to answer.
Can you have a body to enjoy for a long time? YES. Itโs up to you. Iโm here to support you.
When we are dehydrated by only 5%, the vast majority of us will feel a 25-30% decrease in energy. And the vast majority of us are more than 5% dehydrated. When was the last time you drank enough water in a day?
Proper hydration ensures that your bodyโs cells can function efficiently, nutrient absorption is maximum, blood and circulatory system are healthy and toxins are eliminated from the body. When nutrient absorption is maximum, you will have more energy, even if you eat the same foods you ate before you hydrated properly.
When we are dehydrated we have headaches, thinking is more blurred, physical and mental fatigue occurs, we have mood swings, we tend to eat too much, our metabolism slows down, our motivation decreases and we are less productive.
Water is necessary for almost all body functions, so it is vital to hydrate properly and sufficiently. When we are dehydrated the body cannot function properly and our energy level and mood will suffer.
Fatigue is a hydration problem. If you feel tired drink 2 liters of water in the next 90 minutes and see how you feel afterwards!
When you drink clean, filtered, alkaline water (with a pH higher than 8.5) you will notice that you start to feel an improvement in health and an increase in energy and vitality. Our body is designed to be alkaline and maintains a pH of about 7.365 in tissues and especially in the blood.
When we eat or drink too many foods or drinks that create acidity such as cola drinks, sugar, sweet bread, pizza, chips, alcohol, white rice, pasta, saturated fats, fast food, industrially processed foods, sauces and spices , dairy, meat, the body strives to maintain your pH of 7.365, which puts it under huge stress.
By hydrating our body with high pH water we help it maintain its alkalinity, eliminate toxins and acids and our energy and vitality increase significantly.
Overweight is also an acidification problem, so when you start hydrating yourself with alkaline water you will see your weight start to drop. It is enough to drink 2.5-3 liters of alkaline water a day and you will see a decrease in body weight. Which brings us to the next advantage โฆ
Our brain does not differentiate between feeling thirsty and feeling hungry. Both occur when the bodyโs energy level drops. When our energy level drops, both sensations โ thirst and hunger โ appear, but we almost always assume that we need to eat. In other words, we often eat when in fact we should drink water. When we constantly and correctly hydrate this confusion between the two sensations no longer occurs and we will eat less, in fact we will eat exactly what we need. This can definitely help you lose extra pounds.
On the other hand, ionized alkaline water is the best detoxifier for the body, water being the main agent through which residues, toxins, dead cells are eliminated from the body. Most of the time, extra pounds occur due to too much toxins in the body. In order to continue functioning, the body removes these toxins from the circuit and isolates them by incorporating them into adipose tissue. Alkaline ionized water restores the right environment to the tissues, toxins are eliminated, and so the body no longer needs adipose tissue that โstoresโ toxins and gives it up.
When you start hydrating constantly you will notice changes in the skin. Problems such as dry skin, acne, eczema, psoriasis will improve or begin to disappear. Why? When dehydrated, the body uses the available water reserves for vital organs such as the brain or heart and reduces the supply of water to peripheral organs such as the skin.
The cause of premature aging is dehydration and acidification of the body. Aging occurs when we do not remove waste and toxins from the inside. The process of accumulation of toxins and acidity in the body causes aging. Help your body eliminate acidic waste, this is the strongest action against aging.
Antioxidants are also considered a method of preventing aging because they help the body neutralize free radicals. Negatively ionized water is by far the most powerful antioxidant, due to the huge amount of negative ions it contains. Each negative ion neutralizes a free radical molecule, so drinking alkaline ionized water is a great way to reverse the aging process.
Today I will talk about water and its importance for detoxifying the body and your health. And I will give you a simple method to detoxify your body every day.
You have one simple but very important thing to do:
Drink enough water and good quality.
Sufficient water means drinking about 30 ml of water per kg of body every day, ie if you weigh:
These amounts are recommended under normal conditions of temperature and activity. If it is very hot and / or you do sports and sweat, the amount of water required can even be double.
Water from different sources has different characteristics: different salts dissolved in varying concentrations, different pH, different ionization (electric charge).
Also, compared to spring water, drinking tap water has added various disinfectants, which are harmful to the body.
There are several areas in the world known for the special longevity of the locals. Some such areas are: the islands of Okinawa, the Hunza area of โโPakistan, some areas of Georgia, Venezuela and Peru. The inhabitants of these areas not only reach much older ages than the average in civilized countries, but almost do not know degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, tooth decay, etc.
Studies have shown that in all these areas water has special qualities compared to other areas around the world. Alkaline and negatively ionized water is one of the essential factors that help the people there to be healthy and long-lived.
Why is water so important?
Science gives us the answer: Our body is made up of 70% water.
Our blood is 92% water, our cells are 85% water, our brain is 75% water. Also, our cells โswimโ in a fluid (interstitial fluid).
Our body is like an aquarium and all the processes that take place in it depend on the quality of the fluid inside. If the water in the โaquariumโ is clean (has the right characteristics), the cells feel good and work perfectly. If the water is โdirtyโ, the functioning of the cells is much more difficult, which leads to lack of energy, depletion of the bodyโs resources and disease.
The water you drink must have the characteristics of your internal fluids (interstitial fluid, blood, lymph, saliva, etc.) to nourish your cells and eliminate metabolic waste and dead cells.
Why is it so important?
The internal fluids that ensure the functioning of the body (blood, lymph, interstitial fluid, saliva) have a slightly alkaline pH. The functioning of the body produces waste (urine, perspiration, expiration) which is acidic.
American scientist Robert Young says, โThere is one disease called acidification and one treatment called alkalization.โ Absolutely all physiological processes in the body such as absorption, assimilation, transport of substances, elimination, muscle contractions, heartbeat, etc., all occur when the pH of internal media is weakly alkaline.
pH of biological fluids:ย
If you want to keep your body in excellent shape and prevent the accumulation of toxins in the body, the first thing you need to do is respect the needs of the body. That is, to help him stay mostly alkaline. How can you do that? Taking care of what you put in your body: air, water, food.
If your diet is not mostly based on raw foods, then there is a very good chance that it will be mostly acidic. If you live in a polluted area, the air you breathe creates even more acidity in your body.
You need something to neutralize all this acidity and give you the right internal alkalinity.
The most effective solution is to drink alkaline water. Being 70% water, when you drink enough alkaline water, you will very quickly restore the right environment in the body.
What else can water do?
Water can greatly contribute to the process of cell feeding and can be the most powerful antioxidant that will neutralize free radicals and increase your immunity. This means that the nutrients you eat actually end up nourishing each cell. And it also means that you are very resistant to diseases and you will not age prematurely.
Not all water can do this, but only negatively ionized water.
A proper interstitial environment, which allows cells to be nourished and neutralizes free radicals, is an alkaline environment with a negative electrical charge.
The sources of negative ions are again air, water and food. If you do not live in the mountains or near a forest, if you do not eat a large dose of raw food and if you drink tap water or even bottled then you are subject to a strong oxidation process. This pollutes your internal environment, decreases your vitality and makes you more vulnerable to disease and prone to premature aging.
Negatively ionized water drunk daily, walks in the mountains or through the forest, an air ionizer installed at home are the solutions you have at hand to avoid these dangers.
So, for me, โliving waterโ means alkaline water (preferably with a pH around 9.5) and negatively ionized (preferably with a negative electric charge between -200 and -1000 mV).
If the water you drink is usually not alkaline and negatively ionized, in the free guide โ7 Methods by which you can get alkaline waterโ you will find some solutions by which you can get such water.
You can download the free โ7 Methods by which you can get alkaline waterโ by subscribing to the Wellnessist newsletter. In addition, you will receive useful information about detoxifying the body as soon as we publish them on the site. You can unsubscribe whenever you want, and in the meantime your email it will be safe because we donโt like spam as Iโm sure you donโt like it either.
How often should I drink alkaline and ionized water?
I recommend drinking alkaline and ionized water every day. To start, do an experiment of at least 6 months in which to drink the recommended amount of โliving waterโ daily. You will feel the difference. Then you will be able to make an informed choice about what kind of water you want to drink next.
What do I get if I drink biologically active water?
You will thus have more energy, a stronger immunity, you will prevent most diseases and you will slow down the aging process.
I want to know what you think about the information you just found out. I invite you to share with me your ideas on this topic by leaving a comment. You can also ask me questions and I will answer them as soon as possible.
Take care of your body and it will take care of you!
Recently, one of our customers was kind enough to share with us how alkaline water helped him get rid of a big problem.
Below is the story of Mr. Alexandru Bรฎzdรฎc told by himself, which we publish with his consent. I kept his story, adding only a few subtitles and accents to make it easier to read.
Iโll start with the end: Mr. Bรฎzdรฎc escaped the amputation of his second leg by drinking alkaline water.
Sounds incredible? Iโll let you read the story below.
โI am writing these lines both for my friends on Facebook and for the multitude of patients who suffer from diabetes and implicitly from obliterating arteritis, and who, sooner or later, reach stents mounted in the coronary, iliac, subclavian arteries, or worse, at the amputation of the lower limbs.
I retired in 2002 after a heart attack and since then the troubles (medical problems) have continued.
Due to the insulin-deficient diabetes detected in the โ90s, in the period 2002-2005 I had 3 surgeries (for both of my feet) by which my arteries were replaced (due to massive atheroma deposits) with femoral-popliteal vascular prostheses (by-passes), on the right leg twice.
In 2011 the bypass of the right leg began to close (by atheroma deposition) which brought the stenosis of the arteries below the knee (tibial and peroneal) closer to 100%. Having major problems with coronary arteries, the doctors refused to change my right leg bypass (it would have been the third time) and recommended that I take a daily infusion of โvasaprostanโ (an expensive drug and which was distributed through CNAS with special approval), for 30 days, the procedure being considered (then) as a means of saving the foot from amputation.
In my case this procedure (vasaprostan infusions) proved to have the effect of rubbing with โGalenicaโ on an acacia leg. As the number of infusions increased, the pain in the sole of the foot grew greater and the foot was always cold.
I informed my doctor several times about the evolution of the disease (unbearable pain and cold leg) but not only did he not notice me but he did not even take a strain on my leg. For understandable reasons, I wonโt give his name.
After 20 days of infusions, one morning after I woke up, I saw that my toes were black and suppurating. I had gangrene.
I called the emergency room and the doctor on duty at the vascular surgery department (being a day off) refused to admit me on the grounds that they did not cut fingers and recommended the emergency staff to notify the surgery department for amputation.
I went to Bucharest and was admitted to the University Emergency Hospital at the vascular surgery clinic.
On December 6, 2011, my toes were amputated on my right foot. Because gangrene continued, on December 9, I underwent a new metatarsal amputation and my vascular prosthesis was replaced with a saphenous vein harvested from the amputated leg.
On December 12, I had a heart attack and was admitted to intensive care. On December 15, I had a cardiac arrest and was intubated โฆ I was intubated for several days in a state of unconsciousness, during which time my lungs were aspirated several times a day.
After being discharged from intensive care I was admitted to cardiology and after a while I started coughing harder and harder. I was treated for bronchitis until I was discharged from the hospital.
The cough continued after discharge and eventually I arrived again in the emergency room in Constanศa, at the ENT department, where it was found that due to the aspiration maneuvers from intensive care, after cardiac arrest, my trachea was injured, which led to the appearance of an outgrowth that eventually almost blocked my trachea.
I underwent emergency surgery (post-intubation tracheostomy) and the operation was to put a plastic cannula under Adamโs apple through which I was breathing. Leg surgery has never been cured.
In June 2013, 5 stents were implanted in my coronary arteries at Fundeni Hospital.
In September 2013 (unlucky year) the amputated leg pain started again, being forced to accept a new amputation this time above the knee.
Eventually, in September, I had three successive amputations of my right leg.
After the third amputation, I went home with half of the strands from the stump unscathed and my foot swaying in the amputation area. After another month of treatment at home, a nurse managed to heal my abutment.
Starting with the spring of last year, my left leg, which I have had a femur-popliteal prosthesis since 2004 (they are guaranteed for 5-6 years), started to hurt and swell, the situation getting worse at the beginning of 2017, with all the medicines, the ointments and massages (including lymphatic) that have been given to me and done all this time.
In February 2017 I had a vascular/arterial Doppler examination which showed that the bypass has a stenosis of 70%, that the anterior tibial is occluded, the posterior tibial has 98% occlusion and the peroneal artery also has 98% occlusion.
Finally, the cardiologist who did the Doppler exam, probably to encourage me, told me that in 2-3 weeks I will reach the amputation of my left leg and showed me where to amputate itโฆ
I have a good friend and colleague from the ninth grade of high school, the energy engineer GรDEA-SฤNDUศU VERGICฤ from Filiaศi to whom I told about my trouble and that in a short time I will lose my left leg also by amputation.
Very relaxed in conversation and nonchalantly he told me that I donโt have to worry that no one will amputate my leg and that he will solve my problem.
I replied that it was a misplaced joke that at least made me sad, so as not to tell him anything else.
He explained to me that it was not a joke, that he could not afford to make jokes with me in the given situation and asked me if I had heard anything about IONIZED ALKALINE WATER.
Honestly, I hadnโt heard.
I told him that I donโt know what it is and that I donโt think there is a drug in the world (of which we should be aware, stupidity) that can dissolve atheromas on the arteries, โฆ much less WATER, no matter what it is called โ crow, sanctified or ionized alkaline.
Realizing that he had no tangible arguments to convince me, he told me that this water does absolutely no harm to the body by consuming it and that he sends me water starting the next day, having previously bought an ionizer for the production of this water.
He calmly told me that, in my situation, I have two possibilities, namely:
โ first, to wait for the arterial blood circulation in the leg to close permanently and to reach gangrene and amputation;
โ second, to drink at least 5 liters of alkaline ionized water daily, the water that will melt the atheromas on my arteries, the blood circulation returning to normal, and to save my leg.
I chose the second option knowing that it is terribly difficult to live without a leg and to force yourself daily so that your disability does not stress those around you โฆ. Without both legs, I think it is not worth the pain thinking that for those close to me, I would have become an ordeal (I donโt know if Iโm wrong in thinking so).
I started drinking ionized alkaline water, sent by my friend, in the first days 3 liters and then, easily, I drank 5-6 liters a day.
The effects of ionized alkaline water in obliterating arteritis
Until then, the foot was, from the knees down, cold and white, and the pain and burns, especially at night, were unbearable; I ended up taking 3-4 ketone pills a night.
After 2 weeks of drinking ionized alkaline water, the pain and burns diminished and in a few days they disappeared completely. After 3 weeks, the foot warmed up and has remained so until now.
On March 17, I went to a private clinic in Constanศa and I had (for the amount of 800 lei, CNAS funds not allocated until then) an angio CT examination of the arteries in the pelvis and lower limbs which showed:
โ amputation of the right thigh;
โ 50% by-pass stenosis;
โ tibio-peroneal trunk occlusion 70%;
โ posterior tibial artery โ occlusion.
In the meantime, I was scheduled for hospitalization at the University Emergency Hospital of Bucharest and on May 12, 2017, I had arteriography that showed that the aorta and iliac axis are permeable, femoropopliteal bypass is permeable and the leg trunk is permeable.
Arteriography is an invasive investigation of the arteries and remains the most significant in the analysis of blood circulation, measurements, and images being made from inside the arteries.
Wellnessist note: the two tests mentioned above (CT scan and arteriography) show that the blood vessels that were previously closed in a proportion of up to 98% have now become permeable between 30-50%, so the blood can circulate again. Thus, the gangrene that seemed inevitable did not occur. The leg was saved from amputation.
I canโt put into words what I felt when the doctor who did my investigation recorded her voice as a result of viewing the monitor that showed the arteriography. It seems that never in my life has a word as trivial as โPERMEABLEโ had such a valuable meaning.
It seems that the sun also appeared on my street, which I wish for you too!
If you want to document yourself and see that ionized alkaline water seems to be the universal medicine, you can find hundreds of sites about it and its benefits.
In the meantime, I bought my water ionizer!
I wish you all the best!โ
I reproduced Mr. Bรฎzdรฎcโs words almost exactly. His enthusiasm, given the seriousness of the problem he solved by drinking alkaline water, is well-earned. Alkaline water is not a universal panacea, but it really supports the optimal functioning of the body and can help a lot in solving health problems. If you want to enjoy the benefits of alkaline water, choose the best water ionizer for you from our store.
Do you want to choose the best water ionizer for you? One that gives you the best performance at the right price? Then you must distinguish the truths about water ionizers from the โmythsโ that surround them.
As in any other field, there are certain โmythsโ in the field of water ionizers. Some misinformation is presented often enough by certain sellers to be considered real. This can put you in two unwanted situations:
In both cases, the lack of information or even misinformation can lead you to make less successful choices, the result of which in time is not the expected one.
Buying a water ionizer is an important investment, through the benefits it has for your health and that of your family. Thatโs why we offer you well-documented information to help you make the best choice, with an optimal quality-price ratio.
You will often hear the statement: the โXโ ionizer has larger electrodes than the โYโ ionizer, which means it is better. See below why this statement is FALSE.
Electric water ionizers produce ionized alkaline water through an electrolysis process. In the electrolysis chamber there are several electrodes on which a current of a certain power is applied, which leads to obtaining an alkaline water with a certain pH (alkalinity) and ORP (redox potential).
The voltage and intensity of the current applied to the electrodes are one of the factors that influence the pH and ORP of the water obtained. But high power is not enough to get the best pH and ORP. On the contrary, a higher power applied to the electrodes has certain disadvantages.
The pH and ORP of ionized alkaline water produced by an ionizer depend on:
Ionizers that have more technologically advanced electrodes produce water with high pH and ORP, using a lower electrical voltage, so they need less power.
Higher power applied to the electrodes wears them out faster. More power means more heat, which causes the platinum layer on the surface of the electrodes to deteriorate faster. This leads to poorer performance over time and a shorter ionization chamber life.
You may find at some point that there are several types of ionized alkaline water, and that one type is superior to others. Is it true or not?
Alkaline ionized water has 3 measurable parameters that distinguish it from normal tap water, or even from a spring: higher pH, negative ORP and hydrogen concentration.
There are therefore three ways in which the quality of ionized alkaline water can be measured:
We can compare two alkaline waters according to these parameters and we can find differences, but both waters are ionized alkaline waters, only the values โโof some parameters differ.
For a water produced by an ionizer to be anything other than ionized alkaline water it should have something in addition to the three parameters above, another measurable parameter to differentiate it.
There are certainly differences in quality between water ionizers. There are better models and less efficient models. Models in premium ranges with high performance and high reliability are always more expensive than models with lower performance and / or reliability.
Make sure the ionizers you are comparing are in the same quality category. It is not relevant to compare, for example, an ionizer with iridium electrodes with one with platinum-plated titanium electrodes.
When comparing models of ionizers in the same quality category (eg premium range), it is useful to know what to look for so you can differentiate them.
The criteria you need to take into account when choosing an ionizer with an optimal quality / price ratio are discussed in detail in the article How to choose an ionizer.
It is just as important that the water you drink be both alkaline and ionized, but also as pure as possible. Its purity depends on how efficient the ionizer filters are.
Note: We refer here only to platinum-plated titanium electrodes. There are still ionizers on the market that use iridium electrodes, but
The more efficient the electrodes, the more water you will be able to obtain with a higher pH and higher negative ORP, with a lower current consumption.
An efficient self-cleaning system makes the ionizer to maintain its pH and ORP parameters over time, between two cleanings. Also, the more efficient the self-cleaning system, the less often you have to clean it manually, so your maintenance costs are lower.
It is preferable that the information about the filtration or ionization performance you receive can be confirmed with data from independent sources.
An extended warranty is a good indication of the reliability of the devices, and gives you the certainty that the manufacturer really believes in its products and will support you when needed.
The opinion of the dealerโs customers where you want to buy can also help you find out if the after-sales services are of good quality.
Now you are better informed to choose a quality water ionizer for you. If you have any questions about water ionizers, see also the article How to choose an ionizer.
