Are You Acid or Alkaline?
It's quite easy to know whether you need to alkalize
before making your decision to invest in alkaline
balancing systems. Although the vast majority of Westerners are overloaded
with acid waste, there are a very few who are not.
In
her excellent book The Chemistry of Success Dr
Susan M. Lark MD says that understanding the importance
of your pH balance will lead you to the realization that
peak performance and general health are intimately
related, and that robust health is essential if you want
to meet your goals in life.
Dr Lark lists the benefits of maintaining a healthful
state of slight alkalinity:

Note:
According to Dr Lark, the results you get show
tendencies, not necessarily actualities.
Look at
them in relation to how you feel and make your own
decision.
There
are ample markers here for your to self-assess with
reasonable accuracy, but without expert medical advice
you cannot rule our a pre-existing health condition that
may be causing the trend you see in this test.
Between the ages of thirty
and fifty
at least several of your vital chemical/metabolic
functions cease operating at peak efficiency due to
accumulative effects of the wear and tear of daily life.
It is rare to have only one symptom; you will almost
always identify a number of markers in the above test,
if not a breakdown in several areas.
Symptom variations are
limitless.
A fifty year old man may have a high
frequency of allergy symptoms, low libido and high blood
pressure. His female partner on the same diet may have
digestion problems, an overly acid stomach, increasing
fatigue, hot flushes and other transitional menopausal
symptoms.
It's
important to understand that change has to occur
holistically rather than symptom-by-symptom. We need to
change the way our body functions at its most basic
level rather than find yet another antidote for the
latest symptom, which may just be another manifestation
of pH imbalance.
This is
why alkaline water is so effective; with water
comprising 60-70% of a middle aged body, changing water
pH has the ability to reduce acidity almost immediately.
The advantage of using one of our advanced alkaline
water ionizers is that you always have the choice of
alkalinity level, so you can use the alkalizer as a
complete balancing tool. An extended acid-producing
activity (excess work or physical activity, stress etc)
can be responded to immediately.
