Wednesday Fast Day #1- Alkaline Water

So, one of the healthy lifestyle changes we're incorporating into our busy lives is drinking alkaline water. We are what we eat and drink. Our bodies are 70% water so imagine that if we're not drinking clean water or not drinking enough water each day what a  serious effect this has on our health and beauty. We're exposed to way too many toxins, GMO foods and other carcinogenic additives in our daily lives and part of getting that healthy balance back is making your body less acidic and toxic. That's the whole purpose of making your own alkaline water as it will help your body to heal and rejuvenate and restore the body to a healthy pH balance.

There are some great health blogs and websites that talk about how to make your own alkaline water.

We found this recipe at seasalthealth.com. Swing by their website for more detailed information.

Special Notes: We boiled our clean filtered water. Would do this even with bottled water. Cut up a nice big organic lemon and purchased some Himalayan Pink Salt from Whole Foods Market. You could also use any pure sea salt or especially one of our favorites Kalahari Desert Salt which comes from one of the purest regions on the planet! Due to it's amazing natural purity we use Kalahari Desert Salt in our salt and honey scrubs and the salt by itself is great for seasoning your food.

Here's the recipe:

1 Pitcher (64 ounces) of clean filtered water (if tap water is all that is available, use that. The cleaner the better)

1 Organic Lemon, washed, cut into eighths

1 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt (this is optional and will mineralize your Alkaline Water)

Directions: Fill pitcher, add in Lemon wedges (do not squeeze!). Then add 1 tsp. Himalayan Pink Salt, cover, and let sit overnight (8-12 hrs.) at room temperature. Wake up and drink 3

glasses first thing for best Alkaline balance in your body.

Remember to research all things for yourself. But the first step to a healthy, disease-free beautiful temple (ie your body) is making sure you are aware of what kind of water you are drinking and where it comes from.
