Water is crucial to maintaining a healthy and vibrant being, its benefits are endless. Water is a critical component of the HCGA Diet. In fact, the “A” in the HCGA Diet represents Alkalized Water. Alkalized Water will energize you and optimize your diet success!
The biochemist Dr. Robert Young establishes the importance of water when he states:“If someone were to ask me what’s the one thing I can do to have better health, then the answer would be very simple: start drinking alkaline ionized water.” Also, The actor and former James Bond, Roger Moore, when asked how he looked so youthful for a man in his seventies, he answered, “water”! It really is our source of life and longevity.
Our bodies are between 60-70% water and our blood 94%, yet many of us still neglect to drink enough. So, if we follow the recommended guidelines and drink at least 2 liters of water every day, that should do it. Right? Maybe. Of course, that level of consumption is beneficial, but if you rely on tap or bottled water, there is the chance that the water will have a high acid content and possess pollutants which will have a detrimental effect on our bodies.
The majority of the foods we eat also create acid wastes in our system, hosting a perfect environment for micro-organisms, bacteria, and viruses. To balance our body and limit the side effects of an over-acidic diet, it is important to drink alkaline water.
The pH level of our internal fluids affects every living cell in our bodies, and the effect of over-acidification (less than 7 on the pH scale) is immense. A high acid level creates a poor environment, affecting all cellular functions from the beating of your heart to neural brain activity. The right water is so important for optimum hydration, and the right water is mineral-rich alkaline water. Alkaline or “Energized” water aids in neutralizing acids and removing toxins from the body.
The importance of alkalized water as part of the HCGA Diet is immense. For best results and long-term wellness, we recommend that throughout your HCGA Diet and even after the diet, you drink alkaline water. Too much acidity in the body also contributes to weight gain. The body creates fat cells to trap and neutralize acids in the system. Fat cells bind to acids. Therefore, to reduce fat cells, we need to eat an alkaline diet and flush the system with micro-clusters of ionized alkaline water to flush acids and toxins from the body.
