Healthy Skin Begins With A Healthy Body

Just as we find products for external use with a balanced pH, such as deodorant and shampoo, it is important for life, health and vitality to balance your pH from within. A balance between acid and alkaline in the human blood system is seen by leading medical experts as the most important aspect of a balanced and healthy body.In a natural healthy state, the optimum pH equilibrium of human blood is 7.365. Maintenance of this pH is critical to cellular heath.

With a pH of 7.5, FIJI Water's slight alkalinity aids in neutralizing the harmful effects of acidity, which we get from everyday foods and drinks such as wine, coffee and citrus. Intake of too much acid can cause painful conditions such as heartburn, ulcers, indigestion and acid reflux. And, when the body is out of balance in an acidic state, it becomes prey to disease and illness.

Importance of a pH balance
75 trillion cells of the human body are slightly acidic and must exist in a level pH or slightly alkaline environment (the body fluid) if they are to remain healthy and produce energy.
FIJI's alkalinity aides in neutralizing the acid bi-product of cell respiration.
The closer to 7.35 pH, the better the body's ability to fight diseases like cancer.

Research has shown that healthy people have systems that are balanced or slightly alkaline while sick people have pH levels much higher in acid.
