One of the biggest reasons for chronic acidosis is our 21st-century diet consisting of sugar, caffeine, highly processed foods and alcohol. The additives, pesticides and growth hormones used to make and grow our food are also highly acidic to our bodies.
One of the best ways to counter this, however, (apart from changing your diet) is to flush your body with alkaline water.
Since your body is around 70% water, when you ensure that this water is alkaline, you are helping your body create homeostasis.
How to Make Alkaline Water
Ingredients:
Advertisement
1 organic lemon (it is important to use only organic lemons as they are pesticide-free)
2 L of purified water (an osmosis filter is good if you have one, but water that is free of all chemicals and additives is the goal)
1 tablespoon Himalayan salt (which you can find at most health food stores)
1 large glass jar (it must be glass as plastic contains chemicals and impurities that are acidic to your body)
Directions:
Fill the glass jar with the water
Slice the lemon and add it to the water. (do not squeeze out the juice)
