She used Coke a Cola to clean the toilet bowl….
This is an ancient trick, but I actually found out about my friends mom using Coke to clean their toilets yesterday when I agreed to volunteer for an Alkaline presentation. It makes sense though.
We were all gathered around the table testing different acidities in waters we drink on the daily: Tap, Water Still, Dasani, etc… All were showing how acidic they proved to be even in their “purest” form and it got me thinking…How are the foods and drinks we consume not THE contributing factor to why cancer spreads so quickly, why our bodies don’t have the correct defensive mechanism it needs to help fight off sicknesses and diseases. Just a thought.
Here’s what really surprised me though.
When we got to the Alkaline presentation where we were testing the acidity of sprite, the results were mind blowing. Not only did this have an acidic level of “1” (the most potent it can be), but Stan also goes to tell me his mom used Coke a Cola to clean the toilet bowls growing up because of how acidic it was to get all the grime and dirt off.
Whaaattttttttt?! Youre telling me that the same thing used as a cleaning agent because of how much it destroys stains and spots is the same thing we’re DRINKING on the daily? Not expecting it to do the same things in our body. I dont know about yall, but drinking toilet bowl cleaner doesnt sound like something Dr.s would consider “healthy.”
What we put in our body may not show direct symptoms as to what is doing for us, or against us, but over time, time will tell! Our bodies can and will withstand so much until it reaches its breaking point. We cant always see these things so it really is that important to take the steps now, so youre not working with decades of coke drinking behind you.
Alright, end of the presentation and there was one more mind blowing trick he showed me about how much our water impacts our foods and body.
We filled two cups with cherry tomatoes, one with tap water, one with Alkaline water. After 5 minutes of them just soaking in the water we took 1 out of each cup, and ate it. The cherry tomato that was in the Alkaline water was SO much sweeter than the one sitting in the faucet water. Which again, got me to thinking. NO WONDER WHY WE DONT LIKE VEGGIES. We’re steaming them or rinsing all the flavor off of them and expect ourselves and our kids to crave these foods. Not gonna happen.
All this to say,
1) ditch the sodas. Your poor stomach lining will thank you.
2) Not all water is equal (, but water is better than no water!)
Lets take care of our body even if its not telling you its hurting or sick. Eat the whole foods, drink your water and do it every single day!
