		<description><![CDATA[What is your new year resolution to maintain optimal and lasting health.  Optimal and lasting health goals are much more than a resolution; they are a way of life.

Give your body what it needs; healthy water, clean air, good food, proper supplementation, moderate exercise and sufficient rest. The main benefit of following those simple rules is a normal Acid/Alkaline balance within your body.  When this equilibrium is maintained, most diseases cannot exist. <a href="http://www.alkalifewater.com.my/blog/2011/01/06/acid-alkaline-balance-the-key-to-vibrant-health/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.alkalifewater.com.my/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/beauty-is-only-skin-deep1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-80" src="http://www.alkalifewater.com.my/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/beauty-is-only-skin-deep1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Even expensive creams and lotions probably works only at skin deep despite our most fervent hopes. And it does not take a scientist to tell us that our skin can only reflect what’s inside.</p>
<p>Botox results and other ‘procedures’ does not lasts, look suspicious and worst, mocks our attempt to reverse age with unkind side effects. Fight the temptation of diet fads and instant weight loss. Decide NOW that there is simply no short cuts but there is a simple, natural remedy for both healthy skin and achieving an ideal weight.</p>
<p><strong>Three easy lifestyle changes that guarantee weight loss!</strong></p>
<p>According to a scientific study, most of us take better care of our swimming pools than our bodies. I think that this usually arises due to a lack of education &#8211; or sometimes too much education, since in our modern society there are so many theories on how to properly nourish our bodies to achieve the &#8216;fastest weight loss&#8217; or &#8216;lose three inches&#8217; by the next week. Amidst these tales, it is refreshing to hear a healthy weight loss plan that does not require any drastic changes and yet is scientifically proven to encourage weight loss and healthy well-being. As Dr. Robert Young states: <em>&#8220;We&#8217;re not overweight &#8211; we&#8217;re over-acid!&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>The Creation of Fat Cells</strong></p>
<p>Through countless bodily processes, the food we eat is broken down so that necessary nutrients can be extracted for growth and repair. All foods, when metabolized, also contain acidic or alkaline properties that affect the body. While alkaline, or &#8220;basic&#8221; foods help to oxygenate the body, excess acidity is a danger to vital internal organs. Fat cells are formed in order to carry detrimental acids away from the organs that keep us alive. However, by<br />
alkalizing our systems, our bodies don&#8217;t need to form and hold on to this fat! We have all heard that successful weight loss is achieved by gradually making changes in one&#8217;s lifestyle rather than following a certain &#8220;fad diet&#8221;. Regulating the body&#8217;s pH level is certainly a way of life, and is a proven theory that has been around since the beginning of the 20th century, even though it has just recently begun to establish itself in many countries. While &#8220;alkalizing your body&#8221; may sounds daunting, there is actually no need for apprehension! The following three tips are basic in terms of both simplicity&#8230; and alkalinity!</p>
<p><strong>1. Incorporate more alkaline foods into your diet.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.alkalifewater.com.my/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/fresh-greens.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-81" title="fresh greens" src="http://www.alkalifewater.com.my/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/fresh-greens.jpg" alt="" width="94" height="94" /></a>The foods that are most effective in neutralizing internal acids are fruits and green, leafy vegetables. It is a common misconception that foods that taste sour must be acidic &#8211; lemons and limes, for example, are alkaline because the end-products extracted from them by the processes of digestion are basic. However, animal proteins such as chicken, pork and beef add acidity, as do sugars and processed carbohydrates such as white breads. As a general rule of thumb, your diet should ideally consist of a ratio of 3/4 basic foods to 1/4 acidic foods in order to keep one&#8217;s system at a consistent, non-acidic pH.</p>
<p><strong>2. Drink alkaline water.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.alkalifewater.com.my/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/drink-water.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-82" title="drink water" src="http://www.alkalifewater.com.my/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/drink-water-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Our bodies consist of 75% water, so it is not surprising that good hydration is a key to maintaining a strong and healthy system.  However, most of us don&#8217;t usually give the water that we drink a second thought, and this has a drastic effect upon our health. As Dr. Robert Young states: &#8220;Our body is only as healthy as the water it is bathed in.&#8221; The fact is that drinks that are stables of many peoples&#8217; diets tend to be acidic. It takes 32 glasses of alkaline water to neutralize the acid from one 12 oz. soda such as Coca-Cola, which has a pH of 2. Coffee is not much beter at a pH of 4. Even the tap water and filtered waters that we drink are usually acidic, so if we drink the recommended eight cups per day &#8211; how can we expect acidic water to adequately replenich our parches bodies? Water Ionizers can provide you with water at a basic pH that will literally wash away the fat cells parked on one&#8217;s hips, thighs, stomachs, and even brains! As easy to install and use as acommon water filter, they will make all the difference to your health and longterm weight loss goals.</p>
<p><strong>3. Don&#8217;t over-exercise.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.alkalifewater.com.my/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/exercise.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-84" title="exercise" src="http://www.alkalifewater.com.my/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/exercise.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="84" /></a>One of the reasons that exercise is so beneficial is that when we sweat, we eliminate acids from our bodies through perspiration. However, when we exercise excessively, lactic acid &#8211; a waste product of energy production &#8211; is produced, and if it is not properly whicked away by the bloodstream, it will remain within our bodies. One way of ensuring that we rid ourselves of these wastes is to cool down for at least five to eight minutes after each work out, or until the heart rate is back to normal. Otherwise, the length of your workout should be judged by your fitness level &#8211; start with however long is comfortable while keeping your heart rate up, and add to your original time as necessary &#8211; listen to your body!</p>
<p>Keeping yourself hydrated properly (with alkaline water) will also contribute greatly to your energy levels and reduce the amount of lactic acid in the bloodstream. Testimonials have shown that altering something as simple as the water that you drink, or adding more alkaline foods to your diet can result in weight loss of up to one pound per day. Losing weight requires nothing more than &#8216;basic&#8217; knowledge balance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1908 Alexis Carrel won a Nobel Prize for a research and experiment on a chicken heart.   He kept the chicken heart alive in alkaline mineral salt solution for 20yrs by changing the solution every 48 hours. It dies when he stopped changing the solution.   What we learn from Alexis’ work is that you can keep the body cells alive if you maintain the alkaline mineral salts daily.  The health of human cells that make up tissues and organs are only as healthy as the alkaline fluids in which they are bathed. The human cell cannot tolerate low alkalinity and can never tolerate ANY acid condition. The cell begins its biological transformation becoming bacteria in the first stage; then yeast in the second stage; then mold in the 3rd stage of transformation until the anatomical elements of the organized cell (microzymas) are released to become part of some other organized cell.</p>
<p>Dr Robert O Young, PhD in his blog, use the fish bowl metaphor to explain the health of our body cells. The question is this; &#8220;If the fish is sick what would you do, treat the fish or change the water?&#8221; The logical answer is, you would change the water. Why? Because the fish is only as healthy as the water it swims in. The fish is the human cell and the water is the fluids around the cell(s).  As the water goes &#8220;bad&#8221; and becomes more acidic because of the waste products and pollution, the fish become diseased and start dying prematurely (further adding to the acid problem).</p>
<p>Acidification process compromises your body&#8217;s functioning efficiency, raises your cells&#8217; and organs&#8217; vulnerability to infections and disease, and creates more energy drain as your body gets further and further behind in cleansing itself.</p>
<p>The ocean has a delicate pH balance of 8.3 and is maintain by alkaline mineral salts. Our internal fluids are like the ocean and are maintained by the same alkaline mineral salts &#8211; sodium, chloride, magnesium, potassium and calcium. At the present the ocean pH because of global warming has gone from 8.3 to 8.2. This huge decrease in the ocean pH has caused potential health risks to all sea life including the loss of the coral reefs. The same thing is happening to many of us with body warming, as dietary and/or metabolic acids are causing the loss of bone and muscle in order to maintain the delicate alkaline pH of the blood and tissues. The result is an array of health challanges from arthritis, osteoporosis to cancer all caused by the buildup from dietary and/or metabolic acid that the body could NOT manage!”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After billions of dollars and decades in time, we are not any closer to solving the cancerriddle, the number two killer in this country. Never mind solving or conquering cancer,we don’t even understand the fundamental cause of cancer. WHY?</p>
<p>Is it possible that our whole approach to cancer is wrong? As a scientist who spent the<br />
past twenty years in the research of scientific reasons for human diseases, I say we are<br />
missing one essential element: ACID. It is the excess acid in our body that cultivates<br />
cancer. The scientific facts are: 1) cancer cells are acidic while healthy cells are alkaline,<br />
2) an acidic environment contains less oxygen than an alkaline environment, 3) healthy<br />
cells die in an acidic environment while cancer cells die in an alkaline environment.</p>
<p>It is clear that research on cancer should start from changing an acidic environment to an<br />
alkaline environment and then to see the effects of environmental change on cancer<br />
cells. Why hasn’t this been done? May be it is because the concept is too simple. Western<br />
medicine does not understand the pH influence in our body. We look for very complicated<br />
solutions, which receive huge government research funds. So far these solutions only<br />
lead to the development of expensive drugs and complicated machineries, which in turn<br />
lead to side effects, requiring more research and more drugs. Am I being cynical? You<br />
bet I am. I am frustrated to see life cut short by cancer while billions of our tax dollars<br />
are wasted.</p>
<p>It is a scientific fact that when we apply highly concentrated alkaline solution (pH &gt;13) to<br />
a skin cancer spot, the skin cancer cells die. The spot hurts and leaves an ugly red burnt<br />
mark; but when the new skin grows back, there is no sign of cancer. An interesting thing<br />
to note is that the surrounding healthy cells do not die. A high pH alkaline solution does<br />
not kill healthy cells like radiation or chemotherapy does. I do not recommend laymen<br />
treating their own skin cancer this way, but I do recommend that professional<br />
dermatologists experiment with different pH solutions and come up with treatments for<br />
different kinds of skin cancer.</p>
<p>If doctors can measure the size and the pH of a tumor, they should be able to calculate<br />
the number of mole of hydroxyl ions (OH-) needed to destroy the tumor without killing<br />
any healthy cells surrounding it. Sounds like science fiction. But with a fraction of the<br />
money that is being spent, we can find a way to accomplish this.</p>
<p>Another interesting scientific fact that helps us understand the human body’s natural<br />
survival technique is the ability of human cells to multiply (mitosis). We are told that the<br />
average human body has about 75 trillion cells. Cells live about 4 weeks and die after<br />
mitosis, and one cell becomes two; however, after 4 weeks, our body does not have 150<br />
trillion cells, but still 75 trillion cells. This means only half of the cells multiply and the<br />
other half must disintegrate or die. If 37.5 trillion cells die in 4 weeks, how many cells die<br />
in one week, one day, one hour, one minute and one second? More than 10 million cells<br />
die per second!</p>
<p>The law of nature is such that strong and healthy cells multiply; damaged, injured,<br />
infected, contaminated, radiated and weak cells die. This is how we are designed by the<br />
Creator to maintain health in this world of radiation, contamination, bacteria/viruses,<br />
carcinogens in foods and drinks, cellular phones, etc.</p>
<p>To maintain health, a healthy body must be capable of dumping all the dead cells,<br />
natural and man-made. Dead cells are acidic and require alkaline minerals or bicarbonate<br />
to neutralize them and be dumped safely through urine. They are the cause of diseases<br />
when we cannot dump them. Our exhaust system, therefore, requires plenty of<br />
bicarbonate.</p>
<p>Bicarbonate is an alkaline buffer that neutralizes excess acid in the blood and maintains a<br />
healthy blood pH value. Medical science has discovered that as we age, we lose<br />
bicarbonate in the blood, noticeably so after the age of 45. This is the average age when<br />
we begin to show signs of diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, arthritis,<br />
kidney stones, migraine, and even cancer. The decline of bicarbonate in our blood is the<br />
cause of physiological aging. If we could charge bicarbonate to the blood &#8212; like a battery<br />
charger charging electrons to a battery &#8212; we could help the human body maintain good<br />
health and live longer.</p>
<p>As long as we do not increase our body’s alkalinity, we will never solve the cancer<br />
riddle. Diet and exercise are not enough to make a significant change; we need effective<br />
bicarbonate chargers.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span id="more-55"></span>When you step into your hot shower, you are inadvertently exposing your body to a slew of toxins that can damage your health, inside and outThese toxins stem from a chemical that is added to the water supply on purpose, ironically to kill bacteria. The chemical is chlorine, and it&#8217;s added to all public water supplies to kill disease-causing bacteria in the transport pipes and the water itself.</p>
<p>But while chlorine is a highly effective disinfectant, it, and its byproducts, can be devastating to your health.</p>
<p>There are numerous studies that link drinking chlorinated water to  increased risks of cancer, birth defects, miscarriages, and more. But  what you may not realize is that showering or bathing in chlorinated  water can be just as dangerous as drinking it, and even more so.</p>
<p><strong>Two-Thirds of Your Exposure to Chlorine May Come From Showering !</strong></p>
<p>When you shower, the warm water opens up your skin&#8217;s pores, making it like a sponge for chlorine. Meanwhile, the steam in your shower, which you readily inhale, is full of chlorine and its byproducts as well. Since your skin is the largest organ of your body, some estimates say that steam can transport into your body up to 100 times the toxic chemicals as you would get from drinking tap water.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, when you drink chlorinated water, some of these toxins get filtered by your kidneys, liver and digestive system. This is not so when you breathe in these chemical vapors; there is no filtering, just a direct route to your blood stream.</p>
<p>Take, for example, a study published in a 2007 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology. The study participants who drank chlorinated water had a 35 percent increased risk of bladder cancer. However, those who spent time swimming in chlorinated pools had a 57 percent increased risk, and those who took long showers or baths also had an increased risk of bladder cancer.</p>
<table border="0" cellspacing="6" cellpadding="0" width="1" align="right">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>The steam from your shower can contain up to 100 times the chemicals as   the tap water itself.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>According to some estimates, by taking a hot shower you end up absorbing over 600 percent more chlorine and other chemicals than you would from drinking the same un-filtered water all day!</p>
<p><strong>The Dangers of Chlorine Byproducts</strong></p>
<p>Chlorine is not the only toxin in your shower. When this chemical comes into contact with other naturally occurring elements in water, it forms dangerous byproducts such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and chloroform.</p>
<p>Studies have linked these chlorine byproducts to many serious health risks such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bladder cancer</li>
<li>Heart disease</li>
<li>Asthma</li>
<li>Eczema</li>
</ul>
<p><em>&#8220;Showering is suspected as the primary cause of elevated levels of chloroform in nearly every home because of the chlorine in the water. Chloroform [a known carcinogen] levels increase up to 100 times during a 10-minute shower in residential water,&#8221; according to <strong>Dr. Lance Wallace of the Environmental Protection Agency.</strong></em></p>
<p>Chlorine is also detrimental to your skin and hair, where it robs moisture and elasticity, leading to dry, itchy skin and brittle hair.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>Shower Filter: Why Filtering Your Shower&#8217;s Water is Essential</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Taking long hot showers is a health risk,&#8221; a study in New Scientist reported. &#8220;Showers, and to a lesser extent baths, lead to a greater exposure to toxic chemicals contained in water supplies than does drinking it.&#8221;</p>
<p>The article continues, &#8220;The chemicals evaporate out of the water and are inhaled. They can also spread through the house and be inhaled by others. Householders can receive 6 to 100 times more of the chemical by breathing the air around showers and bath than they would by drinking the water.&#8221;</p>
<p>The good news is that chlorine and other chemicals can be easily removed from your family&#8217;s shower with Hexagon Active Water Shower Filter.</p>

<div><strong><em>Colon</em></strong></div>
<p>Kids are proud to show off their poop but most adults rarely glance<br />
inside the toilet bowl. But the truth is&#8230;<br />
Examining your poop is one of the best ways to find out what&#8217;s really going on in your body.<br />
So take this quick quiz to get the inside scoop on your poop!</p>
<p>Question #1: How long does it take you to have a bowel movement?<br />
Less than 60 seconds<br />
More than two minutes</p>
<p>Answer:  Healthy bowel movements happen within 60 seconds of sitting on  the  toilet. The stool should easily come out without straining, grunting or  any discomfort. It should have the consistency of toothpaste. If  you have time to read a newspaper while sitting on the toilet? You  probably have a problem with constipation or poor bowel health.</p>
<p>Question #2: What is the shape of your stool?<br />
Long like a banana round, hard pellets thin, pencil-shaped</p>
<p>Answer : Healthy stool averages about four to six inches long and are<br />
shaped like a banana or a torpedo.</p>
<p>Very narrow, pencil-shaped stool is a sign your colon walls are impacted<br />
or you have polyps or growths on the inside of your colon or rectum.<br />
This causes the stool to squeeze to get through. Stress can also create  narrow stool.</p>
<p>Hard, round or pellet-shaped stool is a possible sign of poor liver<br />
function, lack of exercise, dehydration or constipation.</p>
<p>Question #3: Is your stool accompanied by foul odor?<br />
Yes     No</p>
<p>Answer:  Gas or odor is a sign of a bacterial imbalance in your intestinal  flora. The &#8220;bad&#8221; bacteria release foul-smelling gases and toxins that  can cramp your colon and create embarrassing odors.<br />
You can eliminate this odor by removing debris and encrusted feces from   the walls of your intestines and restoring the balance in your  intestinal flora.</p>
<p>Question #4:  What color is your stool?<br />
Yellow     Green     Brown<br />
Gray     Black     Bright red</p>
<p>According  to Mayo Clinic research, all shades of brown and even green are  considered normal stool colors. And the foods you eat can affect  the color of your stool. For example, beets, tomato juice,  blueberries, popsicles and green leafy vegetables can affect your stool  color.<br />
However, a distinct change in stool color can be a warning sign for health problems.</p>
<p>Yellow-colored  stool indicates your food is moving too quickly through  your digestive  tract as in the case of diarrhea. If stool is greasy or foul-smelling,  it may indicate excess fat caused by malabsorption of nutrients.</p>
<p>Green-colored  stool means your food isn&#8217;t properly being processed  through your  intestines. As a result, bile isn&#8217;t broken down and gives your stool  that green color. Green stool can also mean you&#8217;re eating too much  sugar, fruits and vegetables and not enough grains or salt.</p>
<p>Gray  or ashy colored stool indicates undigested fats or heavy use of   prescription or over-the-counter drugs that contain aluminum hydroxide.<br />
It can also indicate a lack of bile in the stool that may be caused by a bile duct obstruction.</p>
<p>Black stool is a serious warning sign for bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract possibly the stomach.</p>
<p>Bright  red stool may indicate bleeding in the lower intestinal tract possibly  the large intestine or rectum. Hemorrhoids may also be the source of the  bleeding.</p>
<p>Question #5: Do you pass gas while you&#8217;re having a bowel movement or   have you noticed air or bubbles in your stool?<br />
Yes     No</p>
<p>Answer: Air or bubbles in stool can indicate an intestinal imbalance.<br />
Gas producing bacteria may be overgrowing and competing with the<br />
healthier flora in your gut.</p>
<p>Lease  know this: A normal bowel movement happens within 60 seconds of   sitting on the toilet. There should be no straining, pain, bleeding  or foul odor accompanied with your bowel movements. And wiping  afterwards should be easy and simple? Using just one or two pieces of  toilet paper!<br />
If that&#8217;s not your experience in the bathroom then you need to give your  intestines a thorough internal cleaning!</p>
<p>When your colon is in danger it will do anything and everything to send out an S.O.S. for health!<br />
That means giving you &#8220;dragon breath&#8221; and &#8220;B.O&#8221;!<br />
If you notice strong body odor especially under your arm pits&#8230;<br />
&#8230;Or if your friends shy away and frequently offer you breath<br />
mints LISTEN to your colon. It&#8217;s screaming for help!</p>
<p>And INTESTINAL parasites can also trigger:</p>
<p>Painful gas and bloating<br />
Irritable bowels<br />
Runny stool or diarrhea<br />
Allergies<br />
Skin outbreaks<br />
Insomnia<br />
Poor immune system<br />
Muscle pain and joint soreness…<br />
and much more</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HEALTHY JUICES<br />
Drinking alkaline anti-oxidant water is like eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Both contain<br />
alkaline minerals which help neutralize body acidic wastes, and anti-oxidant which helps<br />
neutralize free-radicals damage. Although some fruits are acidic to taste because they<br />
contain citric acid but it is the alkaline mineral ash that are left behind after<br />
metabolism/digestion that makes them alkalizing. For example lemon is acidic to taste but<br />
is one of the more alkaline forming fruit. It contains high amount of alkaline minerals like<br />
calcium, magnesium, potassium and selenium. The citric acid is a weak acid which the<br />
body can easily remove via sweat and respiration.</p>
