The BIG FAT Zero

It is predicted that by 2030, 42% of the population will be considered obese. I shook my head in disgust when I saw a recent ad campaign by a major soda company touting how they were leading the way in the fight against obesity. Their main point was how they have worked hard at replacing sugary sodas with diet soda and bottled water in schools and in the work place. After all, if it has “zero calories”, it has to be good for you, right? The very fact that most Americans believe that to be true is one of the underlying reasons of our rapidly growing weight epidemic.

Consider that the average American consumes a whopping 46 gallons of soda per year! Diet or not, soda contains significant levels of phosphoric acid (not far on the pH scale from battery acid). To maintain pH balance, our body depletes itself of essential minerals. Particularly with soda, iodine (which is  essential in supporting the health of the thyroid) is leached from the body. And without iodine, the thyroid can not function properly. If you have an under-producing thyroid, your metabolism will suffer and weight gain is a result. And there you have it - the BIG FAT zero.

A side note here: The vast majority of bottled waters are very acidic as well, further contributing to the many complications and diseases associated with an acidic diet.

So what’s the BEST option? Give your body what it needs - ALKALINE WATER. The ideal water will have a pH of 8.5 To 9.5, will be free of chemicals, full of essential minerals, micro-clustered for optimal hydration, and will be a highly effective anti-oxidant that will remove toxins from the body. Oh yes, and you can feel good about it‘s “zero calories“.

SAD, So SAD

Thank You for visiting the first post to our blog!  We are excited to have the opportunity to learn and share in conversations centered around improving and maintaining good health.

In 1999, my son was diagnosed with an aggressive bone cancer, Ewings Sarcoma.  We are blessed, however, in that after a year of chemotherapy, 33 surgeries and countless hours of physical therapy, our son is still with us.  I, too, am a cancer survivor.  After being diagnosed with testicular cancer, I had surgery and radiation treatments.  My mother suffered with many health issues, but her life ultimately ended early as the result of diabetes.  I tell you this only to let you know the perspective from which I view the importance of keeping healthy.  I've seen first hand the effects of being unhealthy, and am passionate about helping everyone I can avoid that path.

The Standard American Diet is just that - SAD.   Chemicals and highly processed foods have taken over in nearly everything we eat.  In spite of what we feed ourselves, our body works hard to maintain a neutral PH (slightly alkaline) state.  But that balance comes at an extensive cost as it pulls essential nutrients from our body and inevitably becomes detrimental to our overall health.

The vast majority (90%) of diseases will thrive in an acidic environment, but yet are unable to survive in an alkaline environment.  When you consider that nearly everything we eat and drink is highly acidic, you can understand why our society is becoming overrun with a variety of cancers, obesity, inflamation, heart and kidney disease and many, many other life-altering health issues.

At Crossover Health and Wellness, we recognize that without our health we have nothing.  We are excited, and duty-bound, to share with you how we can assist you in obtaining an healthier life style by enhancing your alkaline diet and supplying your body with the proper nutrition and supplements.  Feel free to comment on our posts or to contact us anytime through our web site at www.DiscoverAmazingWater.com.  We look forward to learning and sharing together!  Until then, here is a very informative video that aligns with the fundamentals of how we have personally improved and maintained our own health.  Enjoy!
