Alkaline Water and Pregnancy
Even though having a baby can be an amazing and wonderful adventure, being pregnant also puts a lot of stress on your body. The nutrients you consume before, during, and after your pregnancy are very important.
One of the most important things you can do for yourself and your baby is to make sure you keep your body well hydrated. You need a lot more water during pregnancy and it is very important to drink sufficient amounts of water.
Health Benefits of Drinking Water
The health benefits of drinking water are well known, but the kind of water you drink can make all the difference in your health, and the health of your unborn baby. Many experts are now recommending that you drink alkaline water because if your body is in an acidic state – instead of an alkaline state – you can have many problems, such as:
The creation of solid wastes like cholesterol, fatty acids, uric acid, kidney stones, and plaque;
Excess acidity causes the blood to become thicker, which impacts the circulation of your blood. In pregnancy, this can cause your legs and body to swell, as well as other dangerous conditions;
When you are pregnant, you may be subject to gestational diabetes, but keeping your body in an alkalized state can help prevent this, as well as many other problems.
Changes to Your Body During Pregnancy>
During your pregnancy your body undergoes many changes. Here are just a few of them:
◊You lose a lot of alkaline minerals to the baby;
◊The baby receives nutrients from you through the umbilical cord;
◊When these nutrients are “burnt”, they turn into acidic waste;
◊Since your blood vessels are not connected to those of your baby, the baby must eliminate these wastes through the placenta;
◊As a result, your body loses alkaline minerals to the placenta so the placenta has enough alkaline minerals to neutralize the acidic wastes of the baby;
◊In turn, your blood quickly becomes acidic;
◊In major research in Japan, doctors discovered that acidity is a major cause of morning sickness;
◊Drinking alkaline water may immediately relieve your morning sickness;
◊It can also reverse the premature aging that can happen to a pregnant woman;
◊Drinking alkaline water may help prevent your baby being born with jaundice.
What Can You Do?
Make sure you have sufficient alkaline reserves in your blood by drinking alkaline water before, during, and after your pregnancy. Doing this will insure you have strong reserves for your health and your baby’s health.
Liquids that dehydrate your body, such as caffeinated beverages and alcohol, should be avoided as much as possible. Stop smoking. Eat a diet that contains a lot of alkaline foods, and get adequate exercise.
In Conclusion:
Here are some of the benefits of drinking alkaline water that will benefit you and your baby during your pregnancy:
√ Drinking alkaline water helps prevent morning sickness;
√ It helps insure that you will have a healthier baby;
√ It will keep you from aging prematurely;
√ It can help eliminate problems with swelling and body aches and pains;
√ It can reduce the risk of your baby being born with jaundice.
Keeping your body in an alkaline state leads to health and longevity, not only for you, but for your baby. However, even with a careful diet and sufficient exercise, an acid state usually wins. To offset this, and obtain optimum health for you and your baby, you should drink alkalized water, which you can easily make at home.
How Can I Make My Own Alkaline Water (Hexagonal Water)?
You can do this by buying a water vortex machine which will turn your water into hexagonal water.
It’s very easy to do from home. There are many machines that can do this – some are cheap (remember, you get what you pay for!) and some are overly expensive. Here is the one I use and recommend – from Amazon:
