Many people have probably heard of its properties. "lye water" came before this that it reduces the risk of cancer, gout, diabetes, and acid reflux. The question may arise: Is it true? First, let's get to know each other. "lye water" Let's go first.
Lye (Alkaline water) is valuable water. pH higher than general drinking water (Regular water)
Drinking water generally has a neutral pH value of 7.0.
Most alkaline water has a pH of around 8.0-9.0.
...but pH is not the main determinant of alkalinity or the true benefits of alkaline water.
Because the human body is normally healthy There is a system for adjusting acid-base balance. through the kidneys and through breathing To balance the pH in the blood in the range of 7.35 -7.45 with a balance of various essential mineral salts. (Electrolytes) such as sodium, potassium, chloride and bicarbonate are one of the main factors in controlling
The food and drinks that we eat each day, each type and type, will have the potential to create acid. which is a burden on the kidneys (Potential Renal Acid Load) after digestion and absorption into the bloodstream are different, divided into groups of acid-producing foods. Neutral Foods and Alkalizing Foods
But as long as kidney function And lung function is normal, no matter what we eat. The body will always adjust the pH level to return to balance. But in some conditions where the body creates large amounts of acid, such as muscle breakdown. abnormality ofMetabolic system at the cellular level (Mitochondrial dysfunction), emergency conditions in diabetic patients (Diabetic Keto Acidosis) or the efficiency of normal mechanisms for adjusting the acid-base balance decreases, such as the glomerular filtration rate decreases. or chronic lung disease such as emphysema When there are additional contributing factors, such as an unbalanced diet, stress, inflammation, infection, or toxins, the body may become more acidic (Acidemia).
whichIn a condition where the body is more acidic (Acidemia) is associated with illness, infectious diseases, chronic diseases, and many types of cancer. Because in the long term Acidic environment will make the structure and cell function is damaged Cells deteriorate and are destroyed faster in acidic conditions. And the damaged cells will create more acid.
So let's see. What are the real benefits of alkaline water?
Lye Must consist of Alkaline minerals which have a high amount of negative ions (electrons) when absorbed into the body can give negative ions to acids. (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) also known as Has the ability to fight antioxidants. (Antioxidizing)
The more negative the ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) is, the more negative the ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) is. It has more antioxidant power. (Antioxydizing) only a lot
Why can highly acidic lemon juice be alkaline?
All of this is the reason that Why is lemon juice high in citric acid alkaline?
This is because of the negatively charged minerals in the acid of lemons. When absorbed into the bloodstream, it canRelease negative ions to the acid. Therefore causing the body to haveAdjust the condition to be more alkaline. Classified as one of Alkalizing Foods
However, from a large body of medical evidence Still can't conclude thatEating lye or alkaline-forming foods on a regular basis It will be beneficial to everyone.significantly
...Because each person's body is different. Taking care of your body appropriately and individually is therefore important.
Therefore, eating a variety of foods (Alternate Foods) has good balance (Balanced Nutrition) and is suitable for each person. (Nutrigenomics) is therefore considered important as well in this era.
