You’ve probably heard that alkaline water can posses the qualities of an antioxidant. But aren’t most antioxidants natural compounds mostly found in vegetables? And what exactly are these antioxidant benefits one could enjoy from drinking alkaline water?

Restructuring Time

When an alkaline water machine does its thing, as the water runs through the special plates, it is given an electric charge.  This charge throws off the electric balance of regular tap water molecules by taking away an electron. Because of the charge, the water can become either acidic or basic depending on the settings. The water is now in a new structural state. The molecules are more compact and take on a hexagonal shape, making the water have a higher absorption ability, able to more easily be absorbed by the tissues.

Free Radicals Beware

Because of the electric charge and the basic (low PH) nature of alkaline water, it now has the effective ability to scavenge free radicals. Imagine ingesting a powerful antioxidant by the simple act of drinking water.

More Oxygen

The new molecular shape of the super water has another great benefit:  higher oxygen absorption. Because of the rearrangement of the water molecules, there is more oxygen to go around. Alkaline water provides more oxygenation to all of the body’s cells. More oxygen means better working cellular function.

Yes, alkaline water is a powerful antioxidant, an increased hydrator and oxygenator. Super water!

So where do you find this amazing water? You can go to a pristine mountain spring, or you can make it.

The Bad News

Cancer has now passed up heart disease as the number one killer of Americans. About 560,000 friends, family and, loved ones die each year. I guess somehow that low number could be the good news. Predictions right now are that in 20 years, worldwide that number will be 26 million diagnosed and 17 million dying every year.

If these grim predictions hold up, and I suspect they will, after the 17,000,000 deaths that will leave 9 million in hospitals or needing outpatient treatment each year. That is a staggering number of patients let alone the cost of their care.

Medicine spends a lot of time, and huge amounts of money, telling us that they have the answer to relieving our, "aches and pains", but almost never the "cure". Oh! they say, "We’re getting close" or just send more money to this or that foundation, "we are almost there, just a few more dollars." Back in the 1950’s there was a big announcement that the "cure for cancer was just around the corner."

They are really not much further along today than they were back then. Lots of research has been done, but cancer is increasing and the actual survival rate for cancer is actually a bit better if you don’t treat it! That is true. It is sick, sad, and criminal, but the FDA and the AMA have twisted the statistics to make it look like they are increasing the survival rate, with radiation, chemo, and surgery. That shockingly is not true. Most doctors know it, but would lose their license if they spoke out.

The following is from the Townsend Letter for Doctors, Jan 1998. "Afraid of Their Own Medicine." In one survey, most oncologists specializing in lung cancer reported that they would not take chemotherapy if they had the disease. Yet, everyday these doctors give their patients chemotherapy. In conversation with an investigative reporter, one brain cancer specialist admitted that he would never submit to radiation if he had a brain tumor. Nevertheless, he continues to send patients for radiation, because he would be kicked out of the hospital if he didn’t follow the accepted protocol." Based on information in: Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, Jan 1998; Spectrum, Mar/April 1998

When I read facts like these I am always left with, "What can I do about this?" I think it comes down to this, that I may not be able to run out and save the world, but I don’t have to be part of those numbers because I know what to do and you can do it too. We have to take a little time to learn what causes so much of our modern health problems. Once armed with a few facts, we can make some basic dietary and lifestyle changes and win.

The Good News

What I realized is, that things ain’t what they used to be. Our life styles have changed. By that I mean, we no longer live on the farm, we no longer grow our own food, we don’t drink from rushing unpolluted streams. We also don’t go to bed when the sun goes down and get up when it comes up. Many of us are sunlight deficient, because, most of us, no longer work outside. We watch TV and eat processed sugar filled foods. So there you have it. All that means a very acidic body and that, is the playground of cancer, arthritis, hypertension, diabetes and too many other illnesses to list, but all with the same basic cause.

So here is what I am doing and I invite you to do also, I am getting more sleep. I have chosen to eat far, far less sugar, pasta, white rice, and breads. I don’t drink but if I did, I would cut way back on alcohol. Why these things? Because they become very acidic when digested. We were created slightly alkaline, and our modern world has led us away from that and into disease.

A alkaline diet high in fresh greens, fruit and drinking alkaline water from a water ionizer while slowing way down on sugar and all the processed foods that have sweeteners added will go a long way to keep you and your family from being one of those 17,000,000 cancer cases. Remember, cancer loves and feeds on excess sugar.

When I started being more alkaline, a 30 year skin rash disappeared, and I threw my arthritis medicine away. Try it.

Can alkaline water from a water ionizer really change my body’s pH?

In short the answer is: No.

The optimal pH for sustaining life is 7.356. All our body’s functions happen within a very narrow range around this pH number. Falling below or above this pH range means imbalance and disease.

When body pH goes off its optimal range, microbial life forms in the blood can change shape, mutate, mirror pathogenesis, and grow. When body pH goes off, enzymes that are constructive can become destructive. When body pH goes off, oxygen delivery to cells suffers. You get the point…

There is a great myth circulating around the internet, fuelled by certain water ionizer on-line merchants, that drinking alkaline water from a water ionizer will change your body’s pH and shift it towards a more alkaline status.

Even though claims like this are brilliant from a marketing point of view they do not have any scientific base and, more importantly, are misleading.

So what is the value in water from a water ionizer? Why is there so much hype about water ionizers around the alternative health water coolers and (lately) more mainstream health-conscious circles?

What makes water from a water ionizer important to our body’s well being is its Oxidation Reduction Potential value (O.R.P.) and its micro-clustered physiology.

Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP, or Redox) is a measure of a water capacity to either release or gain electrons in chemical reactions. The process of oxidation involves losing electrons while reduction involves gaining electrons.

A water ionizer has a negative redox potential which means it has many extra negatively changed ions that are ready to donate to positively charged ions. The excess of alkaline or negative ions, also called hydroxyl ions (OH-), will readily form bonds with any excess acidic or positively charged ions, also known as hydrogen ions(H+). Once a negative ion binds with a positive ion (H+) it will neutralize the acid (H+) and remove it from your system.

The process of ionization changes the physiology of water. Water molecules come in clusters rather than single molecules. Tap water has very large clusters (10 to 13 molecules per cluster). Electrolysis reduce these large tap water clusters from their original size into so called ‘Micro clusters’ (5 to 6 molecules per cluster). The smaller cluster size gives the water excellent hydrating properties, high solubility and good permeability. This gives ionized water the ability to hydrate better.

There is also some merit to ionized water’s alkalinity. It’s basic chemistry 101: alkaline neutralizes acid. It’s been proven beyond any doubt that our bodies, our diet and our environment are increasingly acidic. Drinking alkaline water from a water ionizer will help us neutralize all these acidic sources in our daily life. But that’s just it: alkaline water can only help the body in its straggle to maintain its pH within its optimal range.

The American medical status quo, just like it has done with every new and fresh health-oriented alternative in its past that has challenged the common belief and tried to shift our collective thinking, is throwing everything but the kitchen sink towards discrediting ionized water.

Ultimately, it’s up to each one of us to weigh the pros and the cons and shift our way of thinking towards a healthier more vibrant lifestyle.

  Drinking plenty of water daily is one of the wisest steps you can take in order to maintain your good health or help you lose weight. But unfortunately, not all water is the same. Tap water is much different than bottled water, and bottled waters come in many varieties. But most bottled waters are acidic, unhealthy, expensive and can leach toxins from the plastic bottle damaging your body and the bottles damage the environment. The healthiest types of water to drink is alkaline or ionized water. In fact, ionized water can be extremely beneficial to the human body in several ways.

To create alkaline water, a water ionizer is used to separate the water into acid and alkaline streams. This process is called electrolysis, and its end result imitates the natural process of ionization performed in beautiful, blue glacial streams and icebergs. If you drink distilled water or deionized water, the water lacks certain minerals that can benefit your body. Most tap water lacks these minerals too. That’s why many avid water drinkers are turning to in-home water ionizers. These unique products create a healthy alternative to tap and bottled waters – and you’ll have no bloating with alkaline water!

Benefits of a Water Ionizer

Alkaline water is a natural antioxidant because it has a negative ORP (oxidation reduction potential.) It produces hydroxyl ions, which can increase the level of oxygen in the body. Hydroxyl ions also neutralize harmful free radicals, correct the body’s alkaline/acid balance, and hydrate the cells. Ionized water helps reduce many symptoms of aging and increases energy. As a natural antacid, alkaline water can reduce acid reflux and help neutralize the acidity in the body to prevent sickness and some chronic diseases.

Another tremendous health benefit of drinking alkaline water is your body will be up to six times more hydrated than when drinking conventional water. Hydration helps all the bodily functions and increases your energy levels.

Ionized water can not be bottled because it will loose the negative charge. That is why a home ionize is a must.

How to Choose an Alkaline Water Ionizer

When choosing an alkaline water ionizer, seek out a company that stands behind its product and conducts extensive research on the ionizer being offered. A water ionizer should be tested to meet high standards, including both the ionized water machine and filter. Look for a strong guarantee to ensure you are getting the most dependable ionizer within your budget. It’s a good idea to buy from a manufacturer that controls the complete manufacturing process…from testing to parts to the final production.

Water ionizers make great gifts for friends and loved ones who are concerned with their health, or anyone who just want the best water available on the planet. You can give the gift of better health for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, wedding showers, or any time you want to show your appreciation for someone special. Or, buy a water ionizer for your own home to promote better health for your whole family.

Alkaline water ionizers can easily be purchased on the Web from reputable companies such as Chanson Water, and are available for use on your counter top or under the counter. Check out online products for alkaline water today. You’ll never turn back to drinking plain tap or bottled water again!

An alkaline water ionizer will take regular tap water and produce energized water or alkaline ionized water, which is essentially what we are made of and what we need to live.

The average person can live without food from 4 to 6 weeks. Living without water will depend on how much excursion you put out (how much sweat) and the current temperature of the environment you are in. Without water at a temperature of 120 F/48.9 C you could survive for 2 days. At 50 F / 10.0 C, 60 F / 15.6 C or 70 F / 21.1 C you would survive for 10 days. Needless to say we cannot live without water.

Now the water that most people consume on a daily basis is not that healthy. You might be saying to yourself right now that "I don’t drink tap water I drink bottled, so I’m safe". Unfortunately this is not the case.

First I’d like you to read this quote regarding plastic bottles used for bottled water.

"But no one should think that bottled water is better regulated, better protected or safer than tap," said Eric Goldstein, co-director of the urban program at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a nonprofit organization devoted to protecting health and the environment". Most people are surprised to learn that they’re drinking glorified tap water, but bottlers aren’t required to list the source on the label

Most bottled water comes use polyethylene terephthalate bottles, indicated by a number 1, PET or PETE on the bottle’s bottom. The bottles are generally safe, says Ken Smith, PhD, immediate past chair of the American Chemical Society’s division of environmental chemistry. But scientists say when stored in hot or warm temperatures, the plastic may leak chemicals into the water.

We already new that tap water isn’t the healthiest water to drink, now we understand that drinking bottled water really isn’t that much better. And don’t get me started on the incredible amount of waste created with all of these plastic bottles.

The main point of this article is to inform you that the best possible water you can drink is alkaline ionized water.

Alkaline water is water that is above the neutral pH level which is considered to be 7.0 pH. When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), we may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even more serious disorders. Our bodies consist of over 70% water. The most optimum pH level to be at is a slightly alkaline range of about 7.3 pH.

The best way to maintain these healthy pH levels and keep your body at its peak operating performance is by drinking water after it has gone through a alkaline water ionizer.
