Comment on Reverse Osmosis Water Filter: I’m Drinking Acidic or Alkaline Water? by douglasenviro

The reverse osmosis process just removes the impurities in the water. There is one case where the pH could potentially change a bit – if the water has had its pH raised by adding something like "soda ash" -used by some city water supplies to bring the pH up to 7 or above.

It is possible that part of the reaction that took place to raise the pH could be undone by the reverse osmosis process in some municipal water supplies.

I have an RO system in a city that DOES use soda ash to raise the pH. I tested the water straight from the tap and again out of the RO system – I did not detect even a 0.1 change in pH -so I can’t say its impossible, I’ve read it can happen, but I have never seen it happen and I have testing equipment that is sensitive enough to detect it.

we drink neutral water – the reverse osmosis just removes the salt etc, and does not affect the pH. I believe.

Comment on Will i get thinner if i drink alkaline water? by MacBoy

Hey there.

To answer your question: People don’t just get fat from calories and fat; they get fat from acidic foods. For example, avocados are very high in fat, but they actually don’t make you gain any weight because they’re not acidic. When the body is highly acidic from acidic foods, it tries to balance out the pH by taking minerals from your bones and storing the fat in order to protect you. Fat is actually there to protect you. It’s quite a bit complicated, but I hope you follow?

So basically it comes down to your diet being highly acidic vs. alkaline. If you eat alkaline foods, then you’re probably not going to gain weight and you’ll end up being a lot healthier. There are whole diet programs out there based on this fact. If you want to look one up, it’s by Dr. Young. Just google it.

So what drinking alkaline water does is it helps fight the acid by balancing out the pH in your body, thus removing the need to store fat in your body to protect from high acidity.

So to answer your question as best as I can, drinking alkaline water CAN help you get thinner, IF you supplement it with a healthy alkaline diet

If you want to learn more about this, you should visit http://www.alkazone.com, which makes some great pH water products. I have one of their ionizers at home and drink only alkaline antioxidant water now. Highly recommend.

Best of wishes

Comment on RAW FOOD DIET: How do I start a high raw foods diet like the one Kris Karr from Crazy Sexy Cancer is on? by Drahfruida

When I was a kid my Mom started eating the raw food diet, and she was extreme about it from the start. She ate nothing but fruit and veggies for 2 years and lost 100 and so pounds. I starved as a child in the house, and often would steal money from her purse to go eat out places, because I was only about 10 years old. She tried to pursue her kids to eat like that, but instead I gained all the weight eating whatever I could outside the house. She eventually had many health problems, and looked like a ghost in the face, so her doctor told her to start eating dairy's, and she read up on it like crazy and decided that her diet did call for it. Now she is over weight though because she got into a accident that makes it impossible for her to move, and work off the weight, and she is now on this meats, eggs, cheese diet that is slowly working for her, but I think in the long run the weight will stay off, and she can still full and healthy proteins. I wouldn't recommend going fully raw foodiest, unless your committed to do it for the rest of your life! Because as soon as you start eating normal foods again the weight will slap right back on!
