Alkaline Water News [Water Wellness]

Most people associate aching bones, arthritis, memory loss, among many other ailments, with aging.  These are all common things in the elderly.  But who really knows why these things occur as we get older?

Water in Aging

At infancy we are made up of about 75-80% water.  As we age, that percentage decreases to 60-65% for men and 50-60% for women.

Your brain is made up of 85% water, yet many autopsies show shriveled, dehydrated brains in older people.

Even your bones contain water, 10-15% water, and this needs to remain this way for good bone condition.

One theory of aging is that the body’s percentage of water has a lot to do with the overall health of the body. If your water content decreases in any particular body parts [such as skin, muscles, and organs], then the health of these specific parts of your body would decrease. You’d look and feel less youthful and more aged.

A phenomenon of aging is that as people get older they tend to drink less. Whatever this is due to, it is not good. You can easily get into a habit of drinking too little. Maybe you don’t like the taste of water, because your taste buds have been spoiled to tastier drinks. Or, maybe you are too busy or preoccupied to think of drinking. Whatever the reason, it is a dangerous habit to allow, as you can get dehydrated. Dehydration sounds so harmless, but if you want to avoid diseases and other ailments as you get older and you want to continue to look nice well into your senior years, you should increase your water-drinking habits to about 2 1/2 – 3 liters or so. It’s not too hard to do, just pay attention to how much you are drinking, and drink a little bit more each day.

Recommended Drinking Quantity of Water

You will find many different recommendations for how much water you should drink in one day.  Per the Mayo Clinic, they have concluded that the “Adequate Intake” of liquid (not just specifically water) is 3 liters for men and 2.2 liters for women. Dr. Robert Young says to drink 3 to 4 liters depending on your body weight [i.e., 1/2 oz. of water per pound of body weight.] I, personally, drink about a gallon of ionized water per day.

In my experience, the more ionized water I drink the better I feel [i.e., many health benefits]!

Why Choose Alkaline Ionized Water?

With ionized water you’ll be drinking well-filtered water, rich with antioxidants. Do not count all fluids toward your daily intake of water.  Lots of popular drinks today are far from healthy and hydrating. Anything with caffeine in it, coffee, tea, etc, will act as a diuretic.  This just means that it will make you urinate.  Harmful chemicals in various soft drinks can add up. The more you put into your body the more your body has to filter and rinse out. This puts a strain on your kidneys, for one, but also contributes to overall poor health due to dehydration and toxin build-up in the cells.

Alkaline ionized water hydrates you even faster than regular water because it is micro-clustered and more easily absorbed by the body.  Also, it gives you the benefit of great filtration and antioxidants [which will fight off aging as well]!  The alkalinity will help balance out the pH of your body and make it less acidic.

As you might already know, acidic environments breed disease and cancer.  So, alkaline ionized water will help prevent that as well.

After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER! Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!

Wishing You Water Wellness!

I used to be a lot like Dr. Mercola. [who is a world-famous nutritional-healing advocate and who also owns a huge online vitamin & natural-remedy store].

Dr. Mercola is an avid natural-healing advocate, and I am too. 

Ever since my first child was born in 1974, I have been enthusiastically seeking out answers to “how to stay healthy, keep my children healthy, and never get sick”. In my first 20 years of being a mother I read every book I could, related to nutrition and natural healing. I visited health food stores regularly. I bought various nutritional products, herbs, etc. both for preventative measures and remedies.  And whenever I got sick [or one of my children] I got a remedy or two out to fix it. Even so, we did [all of us] end up at the doctor each 2 or more times a year for various things [ear aches, infections, sore throats, etc.] . When my first two children went through puberty, they got the usual acne. I think we were pretty typical of a normal, mostly-healthy, family.

 I didn’t have a PHD, MD or ND behind my name, but I had a masters in education, 20 years of parental experience, and I was a self-taught expert in natural remedies by the time my first child was 20.

The reason I was like Dr. Mercola is that he is always reading and learning about the latest natural-healing remedies out there. But why did using a water ionizer cause me to change? 

It’s interesting to me how much my point of view has changed since the time my first two children were young.

What happened to change my point of view?… a water ionizer.

Around the time my 3^rd child was 9, my 4^th child was 6 and my 5^th child was 3, I was introduced to the concept of ionized water and the pH of our bodies . This was a pivotal point in my life as an expert in Nutrition and a mother. I bought my first water ionizer in 1996 and that single action [although the water ionizer was an older, weaker model than most any water ionizer you can buy today] changed our lives.

What did a water ionizer do that all of the other books and remedies in the entire health-food store not do?

A water ionizer helped my family and I to change the water in our bodies, so as to provide our cells with more suitable water for detoxifying and maintaining the perfect pH balance that our bodies and cells need to be truly healthy.

All the rest of the “preventions” and “cures” became obsolete and un-needed after just months of drinking alkaline ionized water.

I didn’t just buy a water ionizer, by the way. I learned all about body pH, water, water pH, and water ionization uses AND I applied what I learned by actually drinking the ionized water [and having my children drink it.]

I also observed. I saw that ionized water was making a difference in our family’s health. So, I did more. If I saw any hint of illness [a sniffle] I would have whoever it was drink more ionized water as the antidote for whatever germs may be trying to invade. Whether it was my own self or one of my children …or even my husband, I would utter my famous words “here, drink more water”. It was almost a family joke that I was so insistent on all of us drinking the ionized water so much.

What happened was miraculous though. All of the runny noses, ear aches, head aches, sore throats, acid reflux, and other little defects in our health started to disappear. Even allergies that I was sure were genetic and unavoidable disappeared. As each of my three younger children reached puberty they were virtually free of the acne problems experienced by my older two children.

Before water ionizers I was a self-taught nutritional expert trying to stay abreast of all the latest nutritional answers, preventions and cures, but now I have found a single, simple answer that has changed everything and put all the rest of the “answers” into perspective.

Unless your body has an excellent and continual supply of just exactly the right water to support what your body needs, all the other remedies in the entire world will still not be good enough. Water is KEY to your body’s good and stable health. Ionized water is PERFECT for your body. Drinking ionized water helps your body to be perfect.

With all my other knowledge about vitamins and nutrition in general, I would be remiss to not mention that of course you need to eat well [well-balanced and properly-combined meals] and DO take your vitamins. However, with ionized water I predict you will find that the answer to most ailments is “drink more water”.

After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER! Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!

I often get questions asking if heating or cooling ionized water from one of our water ionizers will change it.  I have tested the effects of heating & cooling ionized water many times before, but recently have discovered the importance of protecting the ionized water from the air. Exposing ionized water to the air causes it to lose its antioxidant valur at a much faster pace. Today I’m trying to find out more about what happens when you heat or cool ionized water.

Because I already know from many tests done in the past that exposing ionized water to air decreases the ORP, I did my best to eliminate the air variable in order to have a more accurate test.

Note: PH and ORP meters cannot take such extremes in temperature, so I had to let the containers holding the frozen and boiling water sit in room temperature long enough to be able to test it.

Results

Conclusions

• Boiling ionized water does significantly decrease its health value. It will take the negative ORP [anti-oxidant value] out of the water and will even reduce the pH somewhat. [However, even after being boiled, ionized water is still far better than tap water, un-ionized.]
• Freezing ionized water does not, by itself, reduce its health value very much. As long as you take precautions to not expose the ionized water to air, your frozen ionized water should be good.
• Warming your ionized water does not seem to reduce the health value much [unless you bring it to a high temperature]. Note: In our experiment, we brought it up to 108 degrees.
• Adding ice [especially if the ice was made of ionized water] doesn’t decrease its health value.

Suggestions Based on the Test Results

After evaluating the results of these tests, I can safely say that it’s fine to warm your ionized water slightly or to add ice to it. Boiling your ionized water for drinking it is for the most part not suggested.

After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER! Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!

Research shows that the consumption of alkaline ionized water reverses the acidity in the body tissues and organs which leads to disease and as such leads to reverse-aging. It is a well-known fact that diseased organs are acidic. Therefore, it follows that to reverse the acidity of the organs and tissues in the body could reverse the course of diseases.

 Dr. Otto Warberg (Nobel Prize Winner, 1932) stated that “Cancer is caused by the lack of oxygen and the fermentation of sugars.” This is due to a low pH acidic environment.

Why does ionized water help the overall health of both animals and humans? There are several reasons:

• Alkaline ionized water is alkaline (obviously) and therefore enters more alkalinity into the body cells, tissues and organs. This allows the buffering effect to take place. This further allows toxins (acids) to leave the cells, tissues, and organs and be flushed out of the body. Thus, alkaline ionized water produces in the body a healthy state of slightly alkaline pH, and research shows that fungus, cancer and other disease pathogens do not thrive in an alkaline state, they do well in an acidic state.
• Alkaline ionized water, being water (and not having calories), does not require digestion, and thus bypasses the digestive system and goes straight to the cells, tissues and organs needing hydration. An example of this: If a person who is constipated is directed to drink 16 to 32 ounces of alkaline ionized water and wait about 20 minutes, they will see a dramatic effect in hydrating the tissues in the rectum which will in turn allow the elimination process to occur. 
• Alkaline Ionized water is reduced in cluster size to about half the size of what comes out of your tap. This contributes to the cells, tissues and organs ability to absorb that water and thus achieve the hydration needed to reverse the diseased condition.
• Alkaline ionized water is run through a sophisticated filter which removes the harmful chemicals and substances from the water, but allows the good minerals (such as calcium and magnesium) to pass through.
• Alkaline ionized water produced by a water ionizer which is certified (such as the Jupiter Melody, Enagic SD501 [Kangen Water], Tyent, Life, Athena, Delphi, KYK, or Chansen) will reduce the ORP of the water and thus your water will have an anti-oxidant effect in the body (in such a way as orange juice does).
• Alkaline ionized water has been reported as having a more pleasant taste and contributing to a refreshed feeling after drinking. Thus this water is more likely to be enjoyed by consumers.
• Alkaline ionized water is shown to be far superior to any other water, especially tap, reverse osmosis, or bottled waters. The alkaline ionized water is exclusively reported as having the qualities listed here, while other waters do not.
