To be honest, I never did any research before buying the alkaline water which made the results even more pleasant. My eczema has gone completely and the few times it flares up, it dies down again in just a couple of days. My skin is noticeably clearer too.
Intrigued, I researched about alkaline water and alkaline diet in general and this is what I found out:
Our body is meant to be slightly alkalic and maintaining that delicate balance is vital to ensure that we remain healthy, disease-free individuals. But at this day and age, our body has become more and more acidic due to our lifestyle and diet. Think coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, red meat, dairy, processed food.
All this things contribute to our imbalance but the good news is it is quite easily reversible. I know not many people are as lucky as I am having access to alkalic water but one of the simplest ways you can make your diet more alkalic is:
Ramp up on the juicing.
Yes, if you haven't started juicing yet you should. NOW!! Take your pick on any alkalic forming food, juice it and drink. I had a bad case of the sniffles yesterday and juiced up a combo of apple, lemon, carrot, celery, kailan and ginger... All alkalic forming food (not much so the apple but its delicious so I added it in anyway). And today I am feeling absolutely fine. Very well rested and very fresh at 6.30am.
Make it a habit to juice. Seriously. The stuff that I bought aren't expensive and very easily available anywhere. Don't go buying your juice at those fancy healthy juice places. They aren't healthy at all. They say their stuff is sugar free but what they don't tell you is they submerge the fruits in sugar water to make it taste better.
Plus, it's pricey. Invest in a decent blender. And make your own juice.
