Alkaline Water: Treatment for Hypertension

The simplest way to reduce blood pressure, and reduce your risk of heart attack is to make sure you are getting enough minerals, and alkaline water is the best way to get your minerals. Epidemiological studies – research into the origins of a disease – have demonstrated a relationship between cardiovascular risk, and levels of minerals in drinking water. Minerals found in alkaline water such as calcium and magnesium has been shown to reduce blood pressure in people who were calcium or magnesium deficient. Research has also shown that those minerals are not absorbed as well when drank in acidic water.

A majority of Americans are believed to be mineral deficient, studies on public health and nutrition has laid the blame on the consumption of mineral-deficient vegetables and other foods. Mineral deficiency in foods is caused by the use of fertilizers used by large, corporate farms to coax unnatural levels of growth in soils that have become exhausted by over-farming. Thus mineral deficiency starts with plants and works its way up the food chain to us.

Stay Hydrated

Proper hydration is mandatory for good heart health. The effects of dehydration on blood pressure are well documented. When a person becomes dehydrated, their blood becomes thicker and harder to pump by the heart and that causes in increased blood pressure. The reduced blood volume caused by dehydration makes the heart to work harder to maintain adequate circulation volume as well.

Mineral Rich Alkaline Water is Best

Research conducted at the Graduate School of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Kyoto University demonstrated that even with a calcium deficient diet, that mineral rich alkaline water can supply beneficial amounts of minerals, even if there are only small amounts of minerals in the water!

Alkaline Ionized Flask by GUC make it easy to get the minerals you need to maintain healthy blood pressure. Alkaline Ionized Flask uses our exclusive patented Vitamin C Ceramic Block® filtration to clean harmful toxins out of tap water in a filter media that is made with vitamin C! Alkaline Ionized Flask’s filtration process leaves in beneficial alkaline minerals in your water, then it is ionized, to bring it up to a healthy pH for drinking and add free-radical scavenging ORP hydroxyl ions to it. Best of all, alkaline water does not have the harmful side effects of supposedly “safe” drugs that seem to fill news headlines with worrisome FDA warnings on an almost daily basis!
