Every living cell in our body creates waste products. The nutrients from our food are delivered to each cell and they burn with oxygen to provide energy for us to live. The burned nutrients are the waste products. To answer the question of what is acid waste, we need to first realize that waste is a natural part of the body’s systems.

Whether you eat the best of foods or the worst, all foods generate waste products.

Foods, when classified as good or bad, are based on the amount and quality of the acid waste products they produce.

Our body will discharge this waste through urine and perspiration. Basically, all waste products are acidic, that is the reason our skin and urine have a low pH level.

The real problem is that our body does not get rid of 100% of the waste it produces. Our lifestyle, such as lack of rest, types of foods we eat and our environment helps produce these waste products but does not help us eliminate them.

In the vast majority of Westerners, diets heavy in meat, fried foods, soft drinks, and sweets build up acid salts in the body, as does stress and exposure to environmental pollutants.

What happens to those non-disposed acid wastes?

As they build up within our body, these waste products become solid wastes, such as cholesterol, fatty acid, kidney stones, etc. This accumulation of non-disposed acidic wastes is called acidosis.

This condition accelerates the degeneration of cells, tissues, and the body as a whole. It accelerates the aging process.

Drinking alkaline water makes it easier for the body to dispose of acid wastes.

Just as the accumulation of acid waste accelerates the aging process, the reduction of acid wastes retards the aging process. Perhaps, according to Sang Whang, even reversing it.

Alkaline water is not a medicine to treat or cure any diseases, but if consumed regularly, alkaline water reduces acid waste, allowing a natural health improvement.
