Is Alkaline Ionized Water the healthiest water in the world?

Do you give any thought to the water you drink everyday? How sure are you that the water you drink is not doing more harm than good to your health? Many people are concerned at the quality of water that comes through their taps. That’s why more and more people are looking into ways to improve the quality of their drinking water. Getting a water ionizer is one solution.

Ionized water is drinking water that has undergone a process know as ionization. Essentially, this process segregates the acid and alkaline content found in H2O. This division is achieved by subjecting the water to electrolysis by taking advantage of the naturally occurring electric charge found within magnesium and calcium ions. When successfully ionized, this type of drinking water can help enhance the ability of the blood to carry oxygen and also assist in neutralizing free radicals in the bloodstream.

The Health benefits are numerous. Alkaline water is a powerful antioxidant, it promotes detoxification, the water’s hydrating power is second to none and it helps balance the body’s pH.

Our body can be very acidic because of the types of food we eat. When you drink a lot of soft drinks and frequently take in fast foods and process foods, you are slowly building up the acidity in your body. This makes you more prone to diseases. A healthy body has a pH in the range of 7.34-7.40. Drinking ionized water helps to detoxify the body of acid waste. The ‘microclustered’ water is able to infiltrate tissue and cell walls more easily than normal H2O, even areas that could not be reached before. That’s why if you are just starting to drink ionized water, you will experience detoxification effects within the first few weeks. First timers drinking ionized water must adjust the water ionizer’s intensity to a lower level first and then work themselves up.

There are several benefits to the use of ionized water. This specially treated liquid is claimed to provide hydration that is in the range of three to six times the hydration capability of other types of water. This can be especially helpful in correcting a state of dehydration quickly and safely.

Benefits of Drinking Alkaline, Ionized Water
By Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D

Is ionized water really beneficial?
YES! Although ionization technology is relatively new in American medicine, 1 in 6 households in Japan and Korea owns an ionizer. This in a result of the American medical philosophy (which treats symptoms), as opposed to prevention through healthy decisions. However, many western mainstream doctors, research scientists, and other wellness professionals agree that maintaining a strong alkaline environment inside your body is critical to overall health. And a water ionizer is an abundant source of high-pH alkaline water and minerals. Study science and ionized water to learn more!

These enhanced hydration abilities also allows the ingestion of ionized water to aid in various types of skin conditions. The water can help restore balance in the event of sunburns or the development of rough dry skin. As the water helps to restore the fluid balance in the skin tissue, any itching or flaking that may have accompanied the dryness will also begin to decrease.

Medical studies show that alkaline ionic water has the most powerful antioxidant properties, better than vitamins A, C, E, beta carotene and selenium, which improves your body's defense against disease.

Ionized water also provides a benefit that is also associated with the intake of vitamins such as C, A, and E. The treated water has the ability to carry oxygen infused with an additional electron. It is this added electron that helps to give ionized water the increased capacity to seek out and effectively prevent free radicals from making the body more receptive to different diseases. That extra electron also helps to prevent the occurrence of premature aging. As a result, the body functions at a higher rate of efficiency and the individual enjoys an equitable amount of energy on a daily basis.

 

Fortunes are spent on antioxidizing vitamins (such as Vitamine C and E), enzymes, herbs and foods in order to prevent cancer. Yet a glass of alkaline water has more antioxidant power than fresh orange juice! Antioxidants are one of the chief keys to longevity: a longer life with less degeneration of body tissues. Like the fabled glacial water of the Hunzas -- the longest lived people on the planet.

Here is a list of Reported benefits you will achieve when you

(1) drink, cook and prepare beverages with ionized water,
(2) and use the acid water
.

The Internal Benefits of Alkaline Water (for internal use):

• Most users report a lot more clarity of mind and energy, due to the extra oxygen ionized water supplies

Water Ionizers provide high pH alkaline water to neutralize acidity in your body which is believed to be the root cause of all disease and symptoms related to aging.

• Micro-structured water attacks free radicals through powerful antioxidant properties

Water Ionizers produce antioxidants by creating negatively charged water, scavenging up disease-causing free radicals This slows down your oxidation (your aging!) and protects your cellular growth.

What’s so great about antioxidants? They neutralize free radicals in your body and that helps you to fight diseases, aging and cancer.

• Helps to keep your body ph levels balanced

Water Ionizers increase your available oxygen for mental clarity and energy. It is thought that disease, and cancer, CANNOT live in an oxygenated, alkaline environment.

• Micro-structured water helps with losing weight

Cellulite removal

This water is medicine for those that drink it!" (Dr.Chris Rolston)

When you drink ionized water the immune system becomes stronger and enables the body to fight off disease better as you alkalize. When your system is acidic, it is seen in the blood with a dark field microscope viewing live blood. It's amazing, and you can see just how sluggish the white blood cells are!!  

 

Improvement in the following conditions have been noted after drinking alkaline-ion water:

•Malabsorption of nutrients
• Chronic fatigue
• Chronic diarrhea
• Chronic constipation
• Heartburn
• Migraines
• Psoriasis
• Indigestion
• Abnormal gastro-intestinal fermentation
• Acidic body chemistry
• Osteoporosis

•Dehydration
• Nausea
• Poor circulation
• Arthritis
• Leg cramps
• Better athletic performance
• Obesity
• Stress
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes•Increased stabilized oxygen

High alkaline ionized water washes away this accumulated acidity, day by day.Drink enough alkaline water and you may even lose excess weight because FAT is ACIDIC!!! It's extra acid that gets stored away in fat cells so the acidity can't harm your more important glands and organs! The doctors know that when they do liposuction the fat they suck out is HIGHLY ACIDIC!!

• Effective hydration helps your skin look healthier and the body detox easier

There is much evidence in the alternative health world that degenerative diseases are the result of acid wastes built up within us, over our lifetime. We gradually build up these acids as we age by eating the wrong foods, drinking the wrong beverages, stress, negative emotions and lack of sleep.

A primary cause of disease is thought to be chronic cellular dehydration. For example, dehydration is the second major cause of hypertension, currently affecting the health of over 55 million North Americans. But with an endless stream from your alkaline water machine, you won't have to worry about proper hydration anymore: When your tap water is delicious, you don't have to remember to drink more water!

You do not need expensive medicine with all the negative side effects to regain health. Alkaline water has profound long term effects because it alkalizes your body and provides an effective antioxidant."

Diabetes

Prof. Kuwata Keijiroo, Doctor of Medicine
" When I was serving in the Fire Insurance Association, I used to examine many diabetic patients. Besides treating them with drugs, I provided them with antioxidant water. After drinking antioxidant water for one month, 15 diabetic patients were selected and sent to Tokyo University for further test and observations.

Initially, the more serious patients were a bit apprehensive about the treatment. When the antioxidant water was consumed for some time, the sugar in the blood and urine ranged from a ratio of 300 mg/l to 2 mg / dc. There was a time where the patient had undergone 5 to 6 blood tests a day and detected to be within normal range. Results also showed that even 1 ½ hour after meals, the blood sugar and urine ratio was 100 mg/dc: 0 mg/dc . The sugar in the urine has completely disappeared."

NOTE:
More Americans than ever before are suffering from diabetes, with the number of new cases averaging almost 800,000 each year. The disease has steadily increased in the United States since 1980, and in 1998, 16 million Americans were diagnosed with diabetes (10.3 million diagnosed; 5.4 million undiagnosed). Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, and more than 193,000 died from the disease and its related complication in 1996. The greatest increase - 76 percent - occurred in people age 30 to 40.

How long does alkaline ionized water stay ionized for?

The Antioxidant (hydroxyl ions) will last approximately 18-24 hours.
The Higher pH (alkaline properties) will last approximately 1-2 weeks.
The smaller molecule cluster size will last approximately 1-3 months.

How should I start drinking ionized water?

Start out slow at level one, drinking 1-3 glasses per day. Iincrease the amount you drink and the level of Ionization intensity. The stronger, the better, but take your time in building up to the higher levels. The antioxidant is most powerful on the high levels. You will of course experience more energy at the higher levels, and the fresher the Ionized Water is, the stronger these properties are. The detoxification is STRONG and unmistakable.

Benefits of Drinking Alkaline, Ionized Water
By Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D

Unlike reverse osmosis or distillation methods, which remove all minerals -leaving the water dead -this process removes the unhealthy minerals into your sink. And unlike these other methods, our water ionizers run on an "on-demand" basis -- no need to make and store purified water in advance.

Why would I want to buy a water ionizer?
Imagine having the ability to take normal tap water and turn it into an antioxidant with a NEGATIVE ORP (oxidation reduction potential or charge), which retards the aging process. Put simply, a high or rising ORP causes oxidation and therefore aging. Acid waste in our bodies is making us fat and creating health problems. The negative ORP of Ionized Water literally retards the aging process by counteracting this rising ORP. Ionized Water essentially renews us at a cellular level. This is as close as we can ever hope to get to a Fountain of Youth, as incredible as that may sound.

If you are looking to protect your family from contaminated and unhealthy water, you should consider getting a water ionizer. This is especially true if you have a pregnant woman, children or elderly people in your home. Impure water imposes a greater healthy risk to them. Sure you can always buy bottled water but even then, there are concerns such as the plastic leaching into the water. With a water ionizer at home that not only cleans but keeps the water healthy, you can drink with a peace of mind knowing that you are getting the best water.
