Women Alkalize and Exercise for No More HRT

Low impact alkalizing aerobic exercising significantly
decreased the acidic chemical imbalances that can lead
to heart dis-ease and stroke in postmenopausal women
according to a study in the spring issue of the Journal
of Women and Aging.

The acidic hormone estrogen was previously thought by
scientists to reduce the acidic chemical imbalances
that can lead to cardiovascular dis-eases such as
coronary heart disease and stroke in postmenopausal
women. However, recent studies have now indicated
detrimental effects of long-term use of hormone
replacement therapy (HRT) or acid estrogen replacement
therapy, including an increased risk for stroke,
heart attack and breast cancer. Faced with these
potential consequences, more women are turning to
low impact alkalizing exercise as a natural way to
combat postmenopausal effects tied to acidic
diets and lifestyles.

The study found that HRT users and non-HRT users
benefited equally from the exercise.

“Given the controversy with HRT, postmenopausal women
can now use aerobic exercise training to lower
chemical stress levels, thus reducing another risk
factor for chronic disease,” said Michael D. Brown, Ph.D.,
a co-author and associate professor of kinesiology at
Temple University’s College of Health Professions.

The acidic chemical imbalances or stresses — called
oxidative or acid stress — occurs when oxidants or
acids, harmful acidic chemicals that damage tissue
and cells, outnumber antioxidants or alkaline
buffers (sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium
bicarbonate all contained in pHour salts) in the body.

Antioxidants or alkaline buffers protect cells and
tissues against oxidants or acids. Postmenopausal women
have higher levels of oxidative or acid stress.

A single bout of intense high impact exercise acutely
raises oxidative or acid stress by increasing the
production of oxidants or metabolic acids, such as
lactic acid. Conversely, regular exercise of moderate
low impact intensity appears to reduce oxidative or
acid stress through an adaptive process that
increases antioxidant or alkaline buffer activity.

The study followed 48 sedentary postmenopausal women
(21 on HRT and 27 not on HRT) through an exercise
program consisting of three supervised sessions of
low impact aerobic exercise per week for 24 weeks.
Participants were between 50 and 75 years of age
and were postmenopausal for at least two years.

“No one is too old to begin an exercise program,
but it is imperative to consult your physician
before taking part in any exercise program. It
is important to start off slow and build your
program to your comfort level. Exercising is not
difficult. You just have to want to do it,”
Brown added.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research
scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center, states,
"if you want to be healthy and fit you must
'alkalize and exercise' everyday."

Dr. Young suggest daily low impact exercising for
at least ten minutes on the VibrapHirm or 15 minutes
on the rebounder or 1 hour on the Life Fitness
elliptical machine. You could also ride a bike,
swim or jog for 1 hour 5 to 6 days a week.

"I lover to jog for 7 to 8 miles a day, vibrate
on the whole body vibrational machine everyday
and then lift weights using the static attraction
method 2 to 3 days a week," states Dr. Young.

Dr. Young further states, "I feel like a teenager
and I have the blood, health and fitness to prove
it. The pH Miracle Living Plan really works for
me and is working for thousands around the world."
