The Case For Ionized Alkaline Water

That there is a Water Crisis today with our drinking water few people will dispute, depending I suppose upon the definition of healthy water and what threshold of contaminants or quality individuals are willing to tolerate and consider good or bad. By all standards, much of our drinking water today contains chemicals detrimental to health.

Federal, state and city laws and guidelines govern levels of chemicals permitted in municipal water. Ironically, one of the deadly chemicals, chlorine, is introduced out of necessity to kill things that would be of even greater consequence. Common knowledge and reason should lead each of us to action to ensure within our homes chlorine, thrihalomethanes and other harmful chemicals are not permitted to pass from tap to glass. For over 20 years I personally have not consumed municipal water unprotected except for when dining outside our home, but I am continually surprised to learn of friends and acquaintances who have not applied much thought or action to this rather apparent water problem. Whether individuals give regard, that water is contaminated is the obvious. There is another water metric that lies lurking further beneath the radar.

As a Nutritionist, I have known for years that individuals seeking optimal health or to improve existing chronic health conditions should adjust their diet toward Alkaline foods rather than Acidic. This should not be news to readers - you have probably heard this a dozen times before. The challenge, like so many other good things in life, is how to implement. The list of Alkaline and Acidic foods can be a great help. But even when one knows better, it is hard because an Alkaline diet is generally not that of convenience or preference.

Alkalizing foods include dark greens like spinach, vegetables like celery and cabbage, fruits like apricot and avocado, and other foods that are not so likely to magically appear on the "random" menu. Selecting the Alkaline foods is only half the equation - avoiding the Acidic foods is also important. But even if one were to master the choice of Alkaline foods, the challenge is greater than first appears, and for good reason. Just as our bodies are 70% Water, so our diet consists in considerable proportion of Water. So, does water help a serious seeker of the Alkaline Diet? Aha... here's where the bigger challenge - and perhaps surprise - lies.

A very real PH Dilemma for many of us is that try as one may to eat Alkaline foods, nearly all of the drinking water most people have access to is NOT Alkaline. Rather it is Acidic. Perhaps some folks who test their water will find it to be neutral or weakly alkaline, but the vast majority of drinking water tests Acidic. Good thing we keep soda drinks in the fridge! Right? Because certainly a nice "soda" drink ought to be less acidic than acidic tap water.

Wouldn't it be? NOT! Soda pop is one of the worst offenders on the pH scale of Human Health. Acid Acid Acid. Bottled Water to the rescue then. What else is there to look to for the solution? The plain fact is that of the tests I have seen data on for Bottled Water... you guessed right... Acidic. Even water prepared by Reverse Osmosis. So our list of options to find Alkaline water is "drying up" - pardon the pun.

What is the consequence to our health of our Acidic diet and our Acidic water and our Acidic soda drinks? Can't our bodies accommodate the PH of what we drink? That is a fabulous question. It is a complicated question. But in a few words let me share some perspective. Your body consisting of Trillions of cells is one of incredible design and YES - it does have provisions for accommodating a wide range of environmental and dietary parameters. But it must regulate body processes within very narrowly defined parameters. In order to accommodate the wide rage of inputs while maintaining the narrowly governed body function metrics, it must prioritize and sometimes must sacrifice one good thing for a better.

The PH of your blood, for example, must be 7.2 to 7.4 - a narrowly defined metric. So important to us is our blood PH metric which must be maintained 24/7/365.25 that the body will sacrifice minerals including calcium from our bones in order to preserve our blood PH so we can live another day. But over time, when we stress our body by continuing to impose upon it such great demands for it to solve because of our preferences of diet and water, we will eventually pay the price. Good health is not a given but rather it is something that we must all strive for. Drinking Acidic water does not help win the fight for Optimal Health.

Solving water PH is accomplished with a Water Ionizer. There are many brands. The one I personally use is perhaps the most expensive but it produces a quality of water called "Kangen Water" which I believe to be the Very Healthiest Water available for human consumption - hence the name of my website VeryHealthyWater.org. Ionization accomplishes a very important enhancement to ones drinking water.

It actually turns tap water into Antioxidants! Hard to believe? But true. Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) is a measurement of Antioxidant value, and the the higher the positive ORP the worse something is for our body while the lower or more negative the ORP the better something is for us in terms of Antioxidant potential. To illustrate the significance of Ionization in improving the ORP value of drinking water, the following is actual data of various water:

ORP TESTS: Negative is Good / Positive is Bad *

*-387 Kangen Water (Ionized)
*+261 Bottled Water Brand #1
*+263 Bottled Water Brand #2
*+273 Bottled Water Brand #3
*+280 Bottled Water Brand #4
*+282 Bottled Water Brand #5
*+330 Tap

* tests are based on specific brands and types of water sampled

Please note that these stats are provided for comparison of the Ionized Water with other common drinking water sources. Actual results will likely vary due to the variety of conditions under which drinking water is prepared. The point of the comparison should jump off the page at readers... the Ionized Water (Kangen) is the only water with a negative ORP, and because of the magnitude of its negative ORP value it provides Antioxidant capacity which will help neutralize Free Radicals in the body of the fortunate individuals who drink the Ionized Kangen Water.

To recap, I will share my definition of Very Healthy Water:

*The bad stuff (chlorine, trihalomethane, heavy metals, etc.) is removed by filtration
*PH is Alkaline to help neutralize Acid and contribute to an Alkaline body PH
*A highly negative ORP Antioxidant value to neutralize Free Radicals

Facts are always facts, and what we do with those facts becomes our reality. Your health is in part a function of what you ingest. So the question for each of us is whether we will apply some "basic" (pardon the pun) knowledge of science and health and take action to solve our personal water crisis before the water we drink gets the better of us. They say that what we eat becomes what we are. With 70% of our body water, I propose we justifiably state we also are what we drink. Change your water and change your health... no success can compensate for the premature failure of the human body, and you are worth whatever it takes to make sure your health is the best it can be.

For my family and me, we'll keep our Kangen Water Ionizer busy at our kitchen sink and enjoy Clean Alkaline Ionized Water free from contaminants and nicely charged with an ORP to deliver potent glasses of Antioxidant Water to neutralize Free Radicals and keep us Alkaline from head to toe and all the way between! And we will also save money by not having to purchase all that Bottled Water. In my opinion, Ionized Alkaline Kangen Water is Very Healthy Water.

Alkalized And Ionized Water From Your Faucet

According to Dr. Sherry Robers, MD, author of "Detoxify or Die", ionized water is such a good free radical scavenger that ionizers perform as well as the primary antioxidant enzyme that the body makes, namely superoxide dimutase (SOD) and catalase. Certainly from a pH Body Balance standpoint, and water is a shortcut to pH balance. When our bodies have challenges breaking down the water molecules, this machine does it for us. When we are too acidic, drinking high pH water will give us a pH float, and from the standpoint of expense, it will pay for itself in no time because we no longer need to purchase bottled water.

Countertop Ionizers are becoming very popular, because people feel the health benefits from drinking ionized and alkalized water. Ionized water has several functions, alkalizing, ionizing and purifying. To alkalize the water means to substantially increase the pH of your existing tap water, to ionize the water which means to break down the size of the water molecule so that the water becomes wetter to the body, and can hydrate cells more easily, a healthier choice, plus purification, taking tap water and removing contaminants, inorganics, metals, and biologicals.

Bottled water is a 28 billion dollar industry, it is environmentally unfriendly and the water is unreliable. This is a total replacement for having to purchase bottled water, best news is you have an endless supply of pure, high pH, ionized water at your faucet.

Discover Health Benefits From Drinking Pure Water, Ionized Water and Alkaline Water -Right From Your Own Faucet! Easy hookup in just minutes! You can stop buying bottled water!

Just like acid rain in the environment damages our external eco system, internal acids damage our internal eco system. Without knowing it, most of us consume diets high in acid forming foods. We also drink acidic beverages such as carbonated drinks, coffee, distilled and reverse osmosis water which add to this acid overload. This results in the loss of precious bone building minerals which are used for buffering these internal acids.

Having realized that our internal acid load is a major factor behind all degenerative diseases, we encourage a diet high in alkalizing foods and drinking Regency II ionized water. Regency Elite produces water that has an alkaline pH, without the addition of any chemicals. This is done through electrolysis, a process that separates the acid from alkaline minerals. There are 5 levels of alkalinity to choose from.

When consumed, alkaline water helps to neutralize and flush out acid wastes that have accumulated as the result of an unhealthy diet, stress and pollution. Wetter Water Ionization: The smaller hexagonal molecular structure resulting from electrolysis is what makes ionized water wetter than tap or bottled water. These smaller clusters of water molecules are less than half the size of those found in tap water. The smaller cluster size gives the water excellent hydrating properties, high solubility and good cellular permeability.

Mineral Water Ionic Exchange of Minerals: This high tech appliance rearranges the healthy minerals that are native to your source water, according to their electrical charge. This is done through electrolysis. The positive or alkaline minerals are drawn to the negative electrode and the negative or acidic minerals are attracted to the positive electrode within this chamber. This separation is maintained by a special barrier. As a result, alkaline water could contain the essential calcium (Ca+), magnesium (Mg+), sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) minerals while the acid water contains acidic compounds which have not been trapped in the filter.

Oxygen Rich Water Jupiter Science Regency Elite water contains more oxygen than regular tap water. This added Oxygen varies according to the pH selected and is present in the form of alkaline hydroxide ions (OH-). The body makes use of the oxygen bound in the hydroxide compound when the aspirated oxygen (O ) runs low in the blood stream. This benefit will be most apparent during exercise and physical labor.

It has been written that Ionized Water "may also lower blood pressure and help the heart work less hard." Quoted from: Reverse Aging , Sang Whang. ORP - Anti-Oxidant Water ORP (oxygen reduction potential): As a result of the electrolysis process, Jupiter Science Regency Elite water has a negative oxygen reduction potential (ORP), or an affinity for the free radicals that attack cell tissue. Imagine not having to rely solely on supplemental antioxidants since your water will already contain an abundant supply.

FunctionalityThe new Jupiter Science Regency Elite Water Ionizer has all the cutting edge technology with a biostone filter, a platinum titanium elctrolytic cell, and a .01 micron purifier, yet has a great pricepoint, selling for about $800. It easily installs to your faucet and will alter your tap water, creating both Alkaline and Acidic water. To maintain or restore your body's natural pH balance for optimal health, drink restructured, ionized water which is rich in anti-oxidants and alkaline minerals. Ionized water helps reverse the effects of acid accumulation in the body, the root cause of degenerative diseases and aging. Allow your body to maximize its' healing potential.

Ionized Water and its Benefits

Water is considered as the ELIXIR OF LIFE as no life on earth can exist and survive without water. Water is derived from the old English word water and also from the German word "wasser". It is a tasteless, odorless and nearly colorless substance in its pure form that is essential to all known forms of life and is known also as the world's most universal solvent.

Water occupies 70% of the Earth. It exists in many places and in various forms. It appears mostly in the oceans and polar ice caps, but also as clouds, rain water, rivers, freshwater aquifers, and sea ice. On the planet, water is continuously moving through the water cycle involving evaporation, precipitation, and runoff to the sea.

Water fit for human intake is called portable water. Drinking water is the water which is intended to be drunk by humans. Although most fresh water sources are drinkable by humans, they can cause long term health problems if they do not meet certain water quality guidelines.

There are several water analyzers and special testers available with help of which the water quality can be tested or detected. They include multiple tests for bacteria Pesticide (Atrazine & Simazine), Nitrate, Nitrite, Iron, Hardness, Chlorine, Copper, Alkalinity, pH, and Lead. Clear directions, easy methods, and top quality non-toxic test ingredients assure you of reliable test results.

Water-filters-purifiers-softeners.com is there to offer this as it has a range of water purification materials for testing water quality in various forms.Most countries in the world have water quality guidelines to be met for water sold as drinking water. Nearly all municipal water bodies deliver one quality of water, whether its used for drinking, washing or for irrigation purposes.

This can be achieved with the help of range of cartridges, sediment filters, carbon filters, omni pure filters ,filter housings, faucets, water softeners and water distillers Since water is made up of many different substances, it can taste and smell very differently.

Around 72% of the fat free mass of the human body is made up of water. To function properly the body requires between one to eight liters of water per day to avoid dehydration, the ideal will depend upon amount depending on the level of activity, temperature, humidity and other factors.

The National Research Council recommends 2.7 litres of water for women and 3.7 litres for men.Humans require water that does not contain too much of salt or other impurities. Some of the common impurities include chemicals and harmful bacteria. Some of them are acceptable while others may prove fatal to human health.

These bacteria and forms of chemical substances can be removed with the help purifiers and softeners .There are several purification and enhancing method done. But the most recent and common method is the alkaline ionization method which is done with the help of a water ionizer.

A water ionizer is an appliance that ionizes the water through a method of electrolysis. Many water ionizer manufacturers( claim that drinking alkaline water with a lower ORP(organic perspective) and high oxygen content improves health.

The ionizer is made up of several compartments of distillers and filters and the ionizing chamber. These filters and distillers can be placed even in our houses with the help of filter housings .The water ionizing method was first introduced in Japan some 30 years ago.

The Process

In the ionizer, there are two chambers with opposite polarity electrodes. Alkaline minerals in the positive electrode chamber migrate into the chamber with negative electrode; the positive electrode repels positive charges and the negative electrode attracts positive charges. As these positively charged alkaline minerals enter the negative electrode chamber, they combine with hydroxyl ions (OH-) in H2O, kicking out hydrogen ions (H+). These hydrogen ions then travel to the negative electrode and give up their positive charge and become electrically neutral hydrogen molecule (H2).

The opposite process takes place with acid minerals. Acid minerals migrate into positive electrode chamber and combine with hydrogen ions (H+) in H2O, kicking out hydroxyl ions (OH-). These hydroxyl ions then travel to the positive electrode, lose negative charge and become water (H2O) and oxygen (O2). In the ionizer, oxygen gas is released from the acid water chamber and hydrogen gas is released from the alkaline water chamber. Both chambers remain electrically neutral.

Common claims about the health benefits of ionized water include the claim that ionized water is more readily absorbed by the body than ordinary water, and that minerals in ionized water are more readily available to the body.

There are several benefits by drinking ionized water .


Excellent natural anti-oxidant that will scavenge free radicals before they oxidize cell tissue .
Provides more available oxygen to your body than ordinary tap water
Neutralizes and flushes toxins and acidic waste from your body. Your body can focus on achieving optimal health
Natural astringent for improving complexions. It removes skin oil and greasy dirt without harsh chemicals.
Natural hair conditioner.
Highly antiseptic for cuts, abrasions, and wounds.
Natural texture and color retained in vegetables cooked in alkaline ionized water. Rice will be fluffier after being boiled in ionized water
Helps with weight control and curbs your hunger when dieting.
Soaking in warm acidic ionized water improves healing from athletes' foot, rashes; nail fungus infections and insect bites.
Contains structurally smaller molecules which helps the body assimilate more water and hydrate quickly
