Alkaline water in the Treatment of Hypertension and Raised Cholesterol.

Many leading scientists have stated that disease is a direct result of too much tissue acid waste in the body and the damaging effects of free radicals. By adopting an alkalised lifestyle you can improve your wellbeing including lowering high blood pressure  (hypertension) and controlling cholesterol levels.

Regularly drinking good health giving alkaline antioxidant water is the foundation to a properly pH balanced body. Now with Alkalark the new portable water ionizer you can very cost effectively have alkaline water wherever you go helping you to maintain optimum blood pressure levels and control cholesterol problems without drugs. Drinking alkaline antioxidant water will gently remove acidic wastes from the walls of the vascular system.

Water expert Professor Won H Kim in his book 'Water of Life: a cure for your body' makes a number of interesting observations on the role of alkaline water for the improvement of blood circulation and the reduction of cholesterol.

He says 'as we have seen, irregular blood circulation can be called the beginning of all adult onset ailments. The major cause for this comes from acidic waste materials which get piled up on vascular walls or clog capillary vessels. Crucial organs need a smooth supply of blood, but piled up waste on walls make vessels narrower. This coupled with clogged capillaries, results in raised blood pressure to supply blood. This is the general principle behind occurrence of hypertension. Alkaline reduced water resolves hypertension originating from residues of waste on vascular walls.

Alkaline reduced water does more than just decrease the acidic wastes by alkalising blood; it is effective for hypertension because its superior power to conduct surface activity can melt effete matter stuck to vascular walls.

He also commented on hypotension 'If hypotension occurred from a lack of calcium ions, drinking alkaline water can cure it. Calcium ions are relatively abundant in alkaline reduced water, so it directly supplies the calcium the human body needs. Not only that, but it also frees the calcium ions trapped within acid salt (solidified by lumping together with acidic waste matter) so it can instantly settle the matter of calcium deficiency within the body even if calcium ions are not especially supplemented. Alkaline reduced water can treat hypotension as well as hypertension'.

Dr F Batmanghelidj in his book 'Water and Salt' says that "To prevent excess cholesterol deposits by the cells lining the arteries and the liver, you need to drink regularly especially an ample amount of water half an hour before food intake. By this action, the cells of the body will become well hydrated before confronting the concentrated blood after food intake. There will also be enough water for the processes of digestion and respiration without needing to tap into the water held inside the cells lining the blood vessels".

Dr Theodore Baroody in his book Alkalise or Die states 'The heart is one of the most alkaine dependent organs in the body. It is partly innervated by the vagus nerve which functions best in an alkaline environment. The heart pumps about 520 quarts of blood an hour and about 13,000 quarts of blood a day. The blood, if not toxin free, puts a tremendous strain upon the heart. Correct heartbeat is altered by acid wastes. These wastes rob the blood of proper oxygenation, and degeration of the heart follows. An alkaline system creates an ideal heart function.'

In the very informative book  The Acid Alkaline Food Guide by Dr Susan E Brown and Larry Triveri they say 'A number of scientific studies have illuminated the biological costs of our forced adaptation to chronic acidosis. The problems caused by this condition include the following among many others:
