More than a decade ago I began to delve into water research to better understand why I had a hard time drinking Evian water. Other than having a soapy taste (I'm VERY sensitive), I found out Evian was a problem for me because it is a heavy, mineralized water. I was later informed by some scientists that the molecule is too large for the cells to absorb.
Later when I began my skincare practice I began to seriously delve into water research after noticing the distinctive effects of reverse osmosis, spring, distilled, frequency, carbon filtered, alkaline and other waters on people and their skin. For instance those who drank reverse osmosis water (generally at work in their offices) seemed to be more prone to getting sick frequently, had a lack of energy and all around dry skin issues. I found out later it's because reverse osmosis water is acidic and can rob the body of vital minerals. Sadly most bottled water these days is reverse osmosis water.
During this research I would hear from the Koreans how drinking alkaline water prevents morning sickness. There was nothing on the internet about it, but when I suggested it to my desperate pregnant friends they all seemed to get relief from their severe nausea. Some of them even ate fermented foods (enter pickles, etc) and also seemed to find relief. I am not a doctor and so I would ALWAYS advise them to speak with their doctors about it first.
I'm not promoting any certain water, but I did find Kangan Water did write a comprehensive explanation about alkaline water and morning sickness that supports what I have been hearing about alkaline water for many years now. You should check it out HERE.
There are tons of Alkaline waters on the market, but just as the article above suggests you should really rethink drinking out of plastic bottles because of the endocrine disruptors!
In the case of the Duchess Kate Middleton I guarantee her body is VERY acidic. It is widely publicized she has been on the Dukan Diet for some time now. The Dukan diet mostly focuses on acidic foods. If Kate was already acidic before she became pregnant and the fetus tends to pull the body even more acidic she is guaranteed to have a very bad run of morning sickness.
Kate needs to speak to her doctor about eating more alkaline foods and sticking to alkaline beverages. There is an EXCELLENT list of acidic vs alkaline foods at http://www.rense.com/1.mpicons/acidalka.htm
For anyone out there that knows the poor Duchess please tell her to get on an alkaline diet ASAP! For the rest of you speak to your doctor first and let me know if this helped you out or not!
p.s. Bodies that are acidic are also more prone to disease, especially cancer. Pregnant or not you should be eating foods that are more alkaline. You can check out my past Alkaline articles at http://tuesdaytips.blogspot.com/search?q=alkaline
