Metabolism –
The body’s metabolism begins to slow down with as little as 1% body dehydration. Alkaline water hydrates 17% better than plain water which helps the body maintain a healthy metabolic rate. pH Balance- Research published by Harvard University Medical shows that maintaining the body’s pH balance with alkaline water reduces your chance of suffering from the symptoms of metabolic syndrome – one of which is obesity.
There are three main theories that explain how alkaline helps you lose weight:
Nutrition Deficiency – Alkaline water supplies highly bio-available nutrients that help weight loss in nutritionally-deficient people. Nutrition deficiencies are a consequence of the acidic Western Diet.
Acid/Alkaline theory – The body stores excess acids that come from diet, pollution and stress in fat cells. Body fat builds up as a consequence.
Alkalinity neutralizes fatty acids in the body, the body responds by dissolving its protective layer of fat resulting in weight loss.
Hydration – Chronic dehydration can result in a lower metabolism, the body simply can’t keep up with all the waste products it’s generating, so it slows the metabolism and stores fats instead of burning them. Alkaline water restores normal hydration levels in the body; Detoxification.
