Alkaline water can be produced in your home when simple tap water has been filtered then restructured through ionization. During this ionization process several important things happen to alter the structure of the water making it more useful by the body:
- Replaces water soluble acids with calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and trace minerals to create great tasting alkaline water;
- Lowers the electron millivolt (mV) charge of the water creating a negative oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) resulting in a true "anti-oxidant" water;
- Breaks large water clusters into "micro-clusters" increasing hydration;
- Aids in the displacement of acids through the body's normal channels of elimination including the kidneys, bowel, lymph, and skin; and
- Changes the cell membrane potential allowing a free exchange of fluids in and out of the cells.
Exhaustive research in the biological medicine field has determined that the aging process is accelerated as acid levels in bodily fluids like blood, urine and saliva rise. These elevated acid levels dramatically increase oxidation in the tissues. This combination of elevated acids and increased oxidation promotes the growth of bacteria, viruses, fungus, and cancer cells. The overgrowth of these pathogens accelerate the breakdown of healthy tissues. This acceleration results in a rapid increase in the biological aging of the body. Increased biological aging gives rise to disease and ultimately death.
Not all water is created equal.
Alkaline Water Contains The Greatest Anti-Oxidant Potential of Any Water!
The four major contributing factors behind an acid imbalance are:
- Acid Forming Foods: Regular consumption of highly refined foods, sugars, white flour, meat, alcohol, sodas and fried foods increase acids.
- Stress: Life stressors create an artificially high production of adrenaline which is a naturally acidic compound.
- Exposure to Toxic Chemicals: Many of the products we routinely use to clean our bodies, our clothes and our homes contain significant concentrations of toxic chemicals. These chemicals are either taken into our lungs when we breathe or are absorbed by our skin.
- Impure Water: Due to improper chemical dumping, run off of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, incomplete treatment of raw sewage, an overgrowth of microbes and the chemicals used to "clean" our municipal water supplies are often a source of impure tap water.
HOW DO EXCESS ACIDS IMPACT MY HEALTH?
In an ideally functioning body the first morning's saliva would register at pH 6.5-6.75, urine at 6.5-6.8 and venous blood at 7.3-7.35. Each day our bodies diligently strive to achieve and maintain those pH balances. If necessary our bodies will rob organ or musculo-skeletal tissues of nutrients to achieve these pH readings, slowly eroding our overall health.
HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BODY'S pH?
- Employ daily stress reduction techniques like exercise, meditation and prayer.
- Eat a diet primarily composed of organically grown fruits and vegetables.
- Employ a variety of detoxification methods.
- Substitute non-toxic cleaning methods for toxic cleaning chemicals.
HOW DOES OXIDATION IMPACT OUR BODIES?
Oxidation is the process by which our bodies break down or "age" biologically. Each cell in our bodies contains a combination of proteins, minerals and fats. As these cellular building blocks are exposed to oxidation the fats become rancid, the proteins putrefy and the minerals rust--all of which leads to decomposition.
In other words, oxidation is truly systematic destruction of the body resulting in wrinkles, degeneration of bones, organs and glandular systems, a weakening of cellular membranes and a loss of vitality that can lead to disease and death.
WHAT CAUSES OXIDATION?
Free radicals are the cause. We have all seen examples of oxidation in nature - metals rust, plants decompose, proteins like meat putrefy and oils become rancid when exposed to free radicals.
Free radicals are all around - they are abundant in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink. They are even produced in your body as cellular waste.
HOW CAN OXIDATION BE STOPPED?
Anti-oxidants are the only way to combat these components of metabolic destruction.
Independent research has demonstrated that drinking alkaline water dramatically reduces the oxidation that causes biological aging.
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH WATER?
Since our bodies are composed of roughly 70 trillion cells which are primarily water - from 76-98% - the water we drink is the water that makes up these cells. Surprisingly, water can be one of the most corrosive substances we can ingest, yet it is essential for life. That is why the quality of the water we consume directly impacts our overall health.
Alkaline water contains large quantities of negatively charged ions that act as "anti-oxidants" in the body. These "anti-oxidant" ions are measured and expressed as - ORP. The higher the negative number the greater the "anti-oxidant" potential of the water.
