Alkalime and Apple Cider Vinegar

I would like to pick your brain…. with the world understanding more the benefits of ph balance, how much better is the YL Alkalime vs the wonders of Apple cider with the mother? Would you please educate me?

Sonya: Great question! They do similar and different things.

Raw Apple Cider Vinegar is great to sip in some water WITH a meal to aid in digestion, pour on your head for hair (diluted with water), it’s great to dissolve what the book “Apple Cider Vinegar: Miracle Health System” calls “acid crystals ” in the neck and spine and some say it’s been their saving grace with arthritis and many other conditions. So I LOVE raw apple cider vinegar!

And yes, it does seem to help with the acid/alkaline balance in the body. There is a great old book called “Folk Medicine: A New England Almanac of Natural Health Care >From a Noted Vermont Country Doctor” and he treats so many conditions with ACV and kelp/iodine and a few other natural substances. It actually helps turn the urine more acidic, which is important to keep a healthy functioning kidney and bladder. When these organs get too alkaline, infections can grow more easily.

Alkalime, on the other hand, is taken either at bedtime, after a meal, or at least an hour before a meal. Why is this? Because it has the effect of neutralizing the occasional excess stomach acid. And believe it or not, we actually do want stomach acid (HCL) right before we eat. So an over acid condition, is actually not enough acid at the right time, which is before a meal. Since ACV is acidic when it enters the body, it can be taken with meals, Alkalime should be take apart from meals.

It also may soothe the occasional upset stomach, relieve occasional heartburn and indigestion.

Alkalime also is awesome for body hydration. The body needs minerals for the water to uptake into the cells (so the speak). Alkalime contains nine biochemical mineral cell salts (different forms of calcium, potassium, and sodium) Lemon and Lime essential oils, and organic lemon powder. So it’s also great to put into a water bottle when hiking, or any time your body needs extra electrolytes.

An over acidic body has also been linked to occasional panic attacks and anxiety along with more serious chronic conditions.

So either way, they are both a great addition to a healthy diet and lifestyle!
