Ionized Alkaline Water Facts
Ordinary water has a neutral pH value of 7, right in the middle of the acid-alkaline scale. Water that has a pH of less
than 7 is more acidic. Water with a pH greater than 7 is more alkaline. Both types act differently. Acidic water is used
on plants because it acts against bacteria and pests. Neutral or alkaline water is better for humans because it
neutralizes acids in the body and is a healthy antioxidant.
The body requires water to flush out the system, cool the body, process food, and carry nutrients to every cell. If water is overly
acidic, it may cause an overload of acid that the body cannot process. This can lead to ill health and disease. Flooding the
body with any water can cause death by over-saturation.
What is water ionization?
When water is treated by charging it with negative ions, it attracts the positive ions in dangerous acids and causes
neutralization. Ionized alkaline drinking water is an antioxidant that can act against various problems in the body and improve
health by reducing acidity.
What is ORP (Oxidation Reduction Level)?
Water’s ability to reduce oxidation is measured as an ORP (Oxidation Reduction
Level). A more powerful antioxidant has a lower level. Tap water has a high ORP
(Oxidation Reduction Level); alkaline water has a negative ORP and is an antioxidant.
What does an antioxidant do?
An antioxidant will reduce the amount of oxygen present.
Oxygen allows germs and bacteria to thrive.Antioxidants
reduce free radicals which can cause disease and aging.
Is tap water acidic or alkaline?
Most tap water in the U.S. falls on the acidic side of the scale. Much
bottled water is similarly acidic. Tap water at higher elevations is
naturally higher on the alkaline side of the scale.
What is wrong with acidic water?
Acidic water and foods make the body work harder to keep the pH of
blood in a normal range. The body compensates for excess acid by
stealing alkaline from other areas of the body, like bone.
Does alkaline water taste different?
Normal clean water is colorless, odorless and tasteless. Humans prefer cold drinking water rather
than warm. Alkaline water tends to taste “light” and has a slightly sweet flavor. It may improve the
taste of other foods and drinks when used for cooking.
Why is alkaline water good for the human body?
Alkaline water acts as a neutralizer against body acidity and helps to restore the pH balance of the
body. This acidity can be caused by diet, pollutants, stress and some water that is bottled. Because
it has negative ions, alkaline water is an antioxidant that helps to fight damage from free radicals
in the body and reduce cell damage. Some attribute alkaline water with aiding in weight loss and
having an anti-aging effect. It helps with hydration of cells and delivery of nutrition to cells.
Alkaline water’s micro-clustering breaks up water into smaller groups that enter cells faster.
Why Alkaline Ionized Water?
The Need for an Alkaline Environment - Our bodies function best
when they are neither too acid nor too alkaline. Unfortunately most
of us have become overly acidic due to poor diet, popular
beverages, lack of healthy exercise, environmental contaminants
and stress.
Acidity or alkalinity is measured by "pH", and ranges from 0 (highly
acidic) to 14 (highly alkaline) while a pH of 7 is neutral. Our blood
system is always working to keep itself in the narrow range of pH
7.35 to 7.45. Drinking alkaline water helps the body maintain a
healthy pH level. An easy way to assist your body in becoming more
alkaline is to drink alkaline water.
Importance of Water
Water sustains all forms of life. Water is one of the most mysterious substances on this planet.
Scientists are still discovering amazing facts about water. More than 70% of our body weight is water.
You are mainly a re-bundling of water wrapped in skin. Understanding water and drinking the right
kind of water will help improve wellness and longevity. Inside the human body the blood (which is
over 90% water) circulates throughout the body, distributing nutrients and oxygen, and removing
wastes and carbon dioxide. Without water we die, too little and our body does not function properly.
Water is the medium through which every metabolic function occurs in the body. If you are even
slightly dehydrated at a cellular level, this will impair your cell's ability to do its job. Proper hydration
is crucial to good health, and not all water hydrates equally. The structure of a common water
molecule cluster is reduced and reshaped through natural ionization processes allowing water from
your alkalizer to be easily absorbed by the body. Ionized Water hydrates very effectively.
Oxidation
Free radicals are unstable atoms which react with healthy cells causing oxidative damage. It's the
same thing that makes an apple turn brown or iron rust. Researchers believe that free radical damage
is a contributing factor in nearly every known disease and aging. Antioxidants stop oxidation. Hydride
ions (H-) have an extra electron that neutralize free radicals. Alkaline water is abundant in very small
molecules of activated hydrogen which can help to counteract oxidative or free radical damage. It
acts as a super pervasive anti-oxidant due to its molecular weight of 18 daltons (takes less than 500
daltons to cross the blood brain barrier).
