Keeping your Pregnancy Blissful by Keeping it Alkaline

One of the most incredible experiences a woman can have is bringing a child into the world. The joy and excitement that comes with new life is immeasurable, and along with the cravings, comes an instinct to protect and nurture, and a desire to keep your baby healthy.

Eating and drinking alkaline foods and water is not only one of the best things you can do for you and your baby’s health, but also a great way to alleviate some of the side effects that are a part of the wonderful experience.

There are many side effects that come with being pregnant. From morning sickness and heartburn, to swollen feet and pregnancy brain. Though these symptoms are expected, most people don’t realize that they are preventable. They are caused by dehydration and a lack of alkaline minerals.

So, the simple and logical answer, is Alkalete by Yoli the better body company.

Keeping Your Body Alkaline during Pregnancy

Research shows that an expectant mom’s body pH will drop towards acidic during pregnancy. There are two reasons for this. First, a growing fetus requires alkaline minerals which it gets from the mother’s body. This will deplete mom’s alkaline mineral stores and drop her pH to acidic, instead of alkaline. The second reason is that, as the fetus grows, it absorbs nutrients through the umbilical cord, and once those minerals have been absorbed, they create acidic waste which gathers in the placenta. Since the mother’s blood vessels are not connected to the fetus’ blood vessels, her blood vessels cannot carry out the wastes, trapping the acidity in her body.

Ingesting Alkalete during and after pregnancy will optimize the mother’s body, preparing it to deal with all of the change. If you keep your body alkaline during pregnancy, there are some side effects that will likely be eliminated by simply taking Alkalete – the acid neutralizer for pH balance.

1. Morning Sickness
Morning sickness is caused by a sudden shift in the body’s pH, and this occurs when the fetus requires alkaline minerals from the mother’s body, depleting mom’s alkaline reserves. By taking Alkalete, the body will have more than enough minerals for mom and baby, that it won’t send the body into a sudden acidic state, preventing morning sickness. This is also why alkaline supplements are an instant relief for morning sickness.

2. Swollen hands and feet
Mostly common in the third trimester, water retention is a sign of dehydration. At this stage of the pregnancy, mom should be increasing her water intake to compensate for the extra weight gain with the baby. Water retention is present when the body holds on to as much water as possible, out of desperation of not having enough. Hydration is key!

3. Lower Back Pain
This is also a sign of dehydration. Increased weight and pressure of the uterus commonly result in lower back pain in pregnant women, particularly in the second and third trimesters. The disks cushion the vertebrates of the spinal chord, require water to prevent friction, which leads to inflammation, causing the back pain. Alkalete contains calcium, which strengthens bones and muscles, which is why it is much more effective than simply drinking tap water.

4. Heartburn and Indigestion
Progesterone, the hormone that relaxes muscles in pregnancy, also relaxes the stomach valve that keeps acid out of the esophagus. In addition to the fetus crowding the stomach and forcing acid into the esophagus, makes for a very uncomfortable situation. Ingesting Alkalete between meals, as opposed to during, can prevent heartburn and indigestion; as well as, help alleviate the pain.

5. Constipation
One of the main causes of constipation is a lack of water intake. Drinking more alkaline fluids like Truth or Fun by Yoli will lubricate the intestines and help flush out waste.

6. Dry and itchy skin
Our bodies are made of 70% water, and the skin is the largest organ in the human body. While pregnant, the skin stretches, and if it is not properly hydrated, it will become dry and itchy.

7. Low energy/fatigue
Due to an increase in hormones and weight, and a lack of quality sleep, low energy levels, and fatigue are very common at the beginning and end of pregnancy. Alkalete not only hydrates, but boosts essential minerals in the body. These two things will increase energy levels and optimize body function.

8. Poor sleep
Many of these side effects are known to keep moms up at night. Taking Alkalete can help alleviate the general discomfort that prevents a restful sleep.

9: Pregnancy brain
Magnesium is one of the minerals in Alkalete, and it has been shown to improve memory and reduce brain fog. Taking Alkalete will keep the brain fully hydrated, reduce forgetfulness, and allow the brain to function better on all levels.

10. Overall health
When pregnant, it is vital to make decisions that will keep mom and baby healthy. Alkalete will increase the body’s pH which will strengthen every element of the body, allowing it be as healthy as possible.
