Alkaline Mom – Healthy Baby

The health of the mom and baby during pregnancy is critical. As a mom, I know that your biggest concern is that your baby is born healthy and perfect. Obviously I can’t guarantee a perfectly healthy baby, but I can give you the best ingredients I know and personally experienced to give mom and baby the best chance. Here are some interesting connections between alkaline water and the mom and baby’s health…

Pregnancy and Baby Health: Babies are becoming increasingly acidic at birth. An acidic baby is more likely to be born preterm; have a greater chance of being overweight as a child; likely to develop diabetes and become glucose-intolerant; and are much more prone to illness. Because most moms are acidic during pregnancy, it has become much more common to become diabetic, have high blood pressure, and much more – this acidic stress in the body filters to the baby.

Now it makes sense why eclampsia has become more popular, which is associated with stressed and overloaded kidneys due to an abundance of waste materials (which are acidic) in the blood. Therefore, if the mom is has alkaline reserves from drinking alkaline water, the kidneys do not have to work as hard.

At the ISIS Holistic Center, they found that, “The stress to the liver will also be reduced. This can help to prevent jaundice… Even the loss of teeth during pregnancy is common when the body is trying to obtain more alkaline minerals such as calcium”.

Hydration: As I have explained in previous blogs, alkaline water is the most hydrating water, which is essential during pregnancy. The need for proper hydration is to the health of the growing baby. Alkaline water easily penetrates cells, keeping them hydrated. Alkaline water will help to transfer the nutrients to the baby and help the mom absorb the nutrients and supplements she is taking

Japanese Studies: According to an ND at Isis Holistic, “Studies over a 15 year time span in Japanese clinics demonstrated some amazing benefits that pregnant women experienced while drinking alkaline Kangen Water^TM: Substantial reduction in emesis, smooth delivery, reduced cases of jaundice, increased lactation, smooth and satisfactory growth of newborns, improvement in hyperbilirubinemia in newborns.”

Drinking alkaline water and following my recommendations in the Pregnancy Diet Dozen should give a great heath advantage to you and your baby
