More about pH Balance

Your body’s pH balance is the first and major line of defense against sickness and disease before you immune system kicks in. So if your acid-alkaline equilibrium is out of balance, you’re making your body prone to disease, sickness, low energy, stress and infections.
If you get tired easily, struggle to concentrate, lack enthusiasm in life or get colds and the flu more than other people – these are ‘tell-tale’ signs that your body is probably acidic and out of balance.

The sooner you restore your body’s pH levels, the faster you can build explosive new power into your body’s own immune system that will tear apart germs and infections the instant they invade your body!

You need to keep your body’s pH level balanced in order to keep yeast, bacteria, viruses, cancer and other diseases out of your system.
A body that remains acidic can attract nasty diseases like: cardiovascular damage, weight gain, obesity and diabetes, premature aging, osteoporosis and joint pain, loss of sex drive and enthusiasm, mouth and stomach ulcers… just to name a few!

The process of restoring your body to a balanced alkaline-acid pH level to avoid these health problems begins with proper diet and nutrition.

The Miracle of pH by Dr. Robert O Young

Dr. Robert O. Young, PhD, DSc, ND, formulator of the New Biology Theory of Health and Dis-ease, states: “Excess acidity is a condition that weakens all body systems.” How?

“Excess acidity forces the body to borrow minerals – including sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium -from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and to safely remove it from the body. As a result, the body can suffer severe and prolonged ‘corrosion’ due to high acidity – a condition that may go undetected for years.”

Over-acidity affects virtually every person in Westernized society because of our dietary and lifestyle choices and ecological exposure – resulting in creating our own “internal environment where dis-ease can easily manifest, as opposed to a pH-balanced environment which allows for normal body functions – necessary for the body to resist dis-ease …”

If we have a healthy body, we will manage to maintain sufficient alkaline mineral reserves to meet emergency demands placed on us by stress and poor diet or lifestyle choices.

“However when excess acids must be continually neutralized, our alkaline reserves are depleted, leaving the body in a weakened, dis-ease-prone condition.” The pancreas is one of our body’s organs charged with the awesome responsiblilty to “alkalinize” us … can you start to see how our serious acidosis has overwhelmed our pancreas’ ability to operate effectively, that then results in a state called “diabetes”, a condition which can respond in a natural way toward Health as a result of the proper, needed changes, for all kinds of pre-diabetics and diabetics.

Amazingly and unfortunately, many health practitioners still believe that the body can some how miraculously cope on its own and that our body can still ‘naturally’ balance its pH. It’s not true, for most of us are NOT living in Nature and eating raw foods and herbs. Our self-created truth is so far beyond this ideal.

pH ... Hydrogen Ion Activity

The technical definition of pH is that it is a measure of the activity of the hydrogen ion (H+) and is reported as the reciprocal of the logarithm of the hydrogen ion activity. Therefore, a water with a pH of 7 has 10-7 moles per liter of hydrogen ions; whereas, a pH of 6 is 10-6 moles per liter. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.

Acidic = 0 Neutral = 7 Basic = 14

In general, a water with a pH < 7 is considered acidic and with a pH > 7 is considered basic. The normal range for pH in surfacewater systems is 6.5 to 8.5 and for groundwater systems 6 to 8.5. Alkalinity is a measure of the capacity of the water to resists a change in pH that would tend to make the water more acidic. The measurement of alkalinity and pH is needed to determine the corrosivity of the water.

The pH of pure water (H20) is 7 at 25oC, but when exposed to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere this equilibrium results in a pH of approximately 5.2. Because of the association of pH with atmospheric gases and temperature, it is strongly recommended that the water be tested as soon as possible. The pH of the water is not a measure of the strength of the acidic or basic solution and alone does not provide a full picture of the characteristics or limitations with the water supply.

In general, a water with a low pH (< 6.5) could be acidic, soft, and corrosive. Therefore, the water could leach metal ions such as: iron, manganese, copper, lead, and zinc from the aquifer, plumbing fixtures, and piping. Therefore, a water with a low pH could contain elevated levels of toxic metals, cause premature damage to metal piping, and have associated aesthetic problems such as a metallic or sour taste, staining of laundry, and the characteristic "blue-green" staining of sinks and drains . The primary way to treat the problem of low pH water is with the use of a neutralizer. The neutralizer feeds a solution into the water to prevent the water from reacting with the house plumbing or contributing to electrolytic corrosion ; a typical neutralizing chemical is soda ash. Neutralizing with soda ash increases the sodium content of the water. A water with a pH > 8.5 could indicate that the water is hard. Hardwater does not pose a health risk, but can cause aesthetic problems.

Coconut Oil !!!

Coconut oil has a variety of natural components that contribute to the wide range of health benefits it can give to our bodies. The coconut oil benefits include hair and skin care, stress relief, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, healthy weight loss, improvement of dental and bone strength, and relief from lifestyle diseases such as , diabetes, cancer, kidney problems, and high blood pressure and cholesterol and heart problems. Coconut oil also has antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties.

Stevia, Naturally Sweet Miracle Plant

Stevia is a wonderful, gifted plant which contains edible, healthy, non-calorific sweetener namely Stevioside and Rebaudioside. Our Stevia products have been extracted with a unique proven technology that derives a variety of consumables from this wonderful plant.

Stevia plant benefits do not stop there; its extract are proven to be 200-300 times more sweet than normal table sugar. That's a powerful and cost-effective alternative to sugar!

SteviaSugar™ Corporation(M) Sdn Bhd welcomes you to the pure taste of natural living! It is a Malaysian based company who grows, cultivates, harvests, refine and extracts stevia products from the miraculous sweet plant Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni. As stevia experts, we proudly bring you readily-consumed stevia in various forms. Stevia is the world's most ideal replacement for table sugar and other artificial sweeteners. Stevia sugar contains ZERO calories! Welcome to a sweeter and healthier living with stevia!

甜菊屬(學名:Stevia)是 菊科 轄下,擁有約240個 草本植物和灌木物種的屬,原產於北美洲西部和南美洲的亞熱帶和熱帶地區。甜菊屬中的甜菊種(Stevia rebaudiana)俗稱甜葉菊,因為其葉子味甜而廣為栽種。甜菊是常見的甜精和代糖,它的甜味擴散較慢、持續時間比食糖長,但部分高濃度萃取物帶有苦澀或類似甘草口感的餘韻。
甜菊可提煉出甜度是食糖的300倍的甜菊糖,熱量低、對血糖影響甚微,因此在低醣飲食風潮興起下逐漸受到青睞,普遍被用為天然甜味劑。事實上,甜菊在少數國家已經有數十年、甚至數世紀的悠久歷史,例如日本很早就懂得以甜菊添增甜味。然而,也有其他國家由於健康考量或政治因素,禁止或限制甜菊的使用。例如,美國曾在1990年代早期禁止使用甜菊,僅開放膳食補充劑用途,但在2008年認可以甜菊糖苷萃取物作為合法食品添加劑。近年,允許使用甜菊甜精的國家數已有漸增趨勢。

Uric Acid 尿酸

Uric Acid 尿酸是一種含有碳、氮、氧、氫的雜環化合物,其分子式為C5H4N4O3。
進食過多含有嘌呤成份的食品,而在新陳代謝過程中,身體未能將嘌呤進一步代謝成為可以從腎臟中經尿液排出之排泄物。而這些物質最終形成尿酸,再經血液流向(軟)結締組織,以結晶體積存於其中,如果有誘因引起沉積在軟組織如關節膜裡的尿酸結晶釋出,那便導致身體免疫系統過度反應(敏感)而造成炎症(痛風症)。
