Alkaline
Water and Weight Loss
Obesity is a major
problem affecting most of our country today.
Let’s talk a little bit about exactly what obesity is, the risk factors
associated with obesity and how Tyent ionized alkaline water can help you achieve
weight loss results!
Let’s start with
the formal definition of obesity.
Obesity is defined as a condition characterized by the excessive
accumulation and storage of fat in the body (Merriam-Webster). This often results in significant impairment
of health.
Obesity is an
epidemic in this country. More than 58
million Americans are overweight, and this includes at least 1 in 5
children. Obesity is the second leading
cause of preventable death in the United States.
The are many health risks linked to obesity and being overweight. These include increased risk for coronary
artery disease, degenerative joint disease, type II diabetes mellitus,
hyperlipidemia, osteoarthritis, stroke, respiratory problems and liver and
gallbladder disease. Obesity also
increases your risk of certain cancers; colon, rectum and prostate in men and
uterus, biliary tract, breast and ovary in women.
So how can you
stay healthy and maintain an ideal weight?
Well, good health depends on the proper balance of an alkaline and acid
environment in our bodies. Disease loves
an acidic environment. Most diseases can
be traced back to an imbalance of pH in the body. To help maintain a healthy and balanced pH, you
should eat a diet that consists of 80% alkaline food and 20% acidic foods. Here are some examples of alkaline and acidic
foods.
ALKALINE
- Vegetables : Asparagus, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, lettuce, onion, zucchini, beets, carrots, avocado, tomato
- Fruit : Lemon, lime, watermelon, grapefruit, mango
- Grain : Wild rice, quinoa
- Dairy : Soy cheese, soy milk, goat milk, goat cheese
- Beverages : Green tea, herbal tea, lemon water
ACID
- Vegetables : Potatoes, string beans, kidney beans, cooked spinach
- Fruit : Blueberry, cranberry, cherry, pineapple
- Meat : Beef, turkey, chicken, pork, lamb
- Dairy : Cheese, milk, eggs, butter
- Beverages : Alcohol, soda, coffee
As with all diets,
this is not always so easy to follow. We
all have hectic schedules, “bad” days or just have a tough time restricting
certain food or drinks.
This is where
Tyent ionized alkaline water comes to the rescue! It is easier for us to keep an alkaline state
in the body simply by drinking alkaline water, though it is still a good idea
to stick to an 80/20 alkaline diet!
Tyent Water is full of oxygen and 10x more hydrating than
bottled water! We all know it is
important to drink 6 – 8 glasses of water daily, but here is how Tyent Water
can help you on your weight loss journey.
Your kidneys do
not work properly if they do not have enough water. When they can’t do their job, they push some
of their work on to your liver. Now, one
of the main jobs of your liver is to metabolize fat into energy for your body. Well, your liver can’t do this if it is busy
helping out your kidneys. Therefore, fat
sticks around and there is no weight loss.
Your body also
keeps fat around your vital organs to protect them from an acidic
environment. An acidic environment in
your body helps contribute to fatigue, immune deficiency and weight gain. When your body is in a more alkaline state,
there is no longer a reason for those cells to be there so they are removed
from the body.
During weight
loss, the body has a lot of waste and toxins to flush out. These toxins are stored in fat cells,
tissues, organs and lymphatic fluid.
Ionized alkaline water has a negative charge which makes it a strong antioxidant
that neutralizes and releases those toxins.
This results in fat loss.
Another way Tyent
Water can aid in weight loss is that water is a natural appetite
suppressant. It also helps the body to
metabolize fat. Drinking 2 cups about 30 minutes before each meal may help to reduce the
amount you eat. A good weight loss plan
would be to increase your intake of alkaline food and ionized alkaline
water.
In closing, Tyent
Water is not a quick fix for weight loss.
We all know very well that there is no such thing! Following an 80/20 alkaline diet and exercise
are necessary to staying healthy. Try to
get in at least 20 minutes of physical activity every day. Go for a walk, take the stairs at work or
maybe park far away from the store in the parking lot. There are lots of ways we can squeeze in more
activity. Take your water with you
everywhere you go! Tyent alkaline water
will help to keep your pH levels balanced and help to rid your body of unwanted
fat. And don’t we all want that?

pHabulous day!
