Cleansing your body is also called detoxing, detoxifying or de-acidifying. In particular, acidic waste stored in the body should be removed from the body from time to time and preferably permanently. Thus, the natural pH balance is restored.
After all, proper pH balance or acidity is of enormous importance for good health.
Benefits of deacidification with Alkaline Water
The Kidneys
During the production and processing of various substances, waste products remain in the body. The kidneys ensure that these waste products and substances that are no longer useful to the body, such as excess acids, are eliminated. Our kidneys keep the blood clean and excrete the aforementioned substances through the urine.
The Stomach and Bowels
Through the stool, the body will excrete much of its acidic waste. Vomiting allows the body to get rid of those substances the body would rather not keep inside.
The skin and mucous membranes
Excess acids can also be excreted through the skin. This occurs through the sebaceous and sweat glands, and the acidic body odor that can result is considered unpleasant by many.
The Lungs
Oxygen metabolism produces byproduct Carbonic acid which is exhaled as carbon dioxide. The blood transports this carbon dioxide to the lungs. And when carbon dioxide is plentiful, breathing becomes faster and deeper, allowing one to expel a large amount of waste products through the lungs.
Alkaline buffers
In order to cope with large and/or rapid changes in the acidity level, the body buffers. With increased acidity, the body will draw on the minerals stored in our bodies in order to maintain the proper acidity level. These buffers include the skeleton, nails, hair and teeth.
