Alkaline Water Absorption

Regular water has molecules that group in clusters of about 10 to 13 molecules which, when ionized, is reduced to about half that size, and surface tension is also reduced. These micro-clusters are easily absorbed into our body cells.

By drinking alkaline water you will receive antioxidants, alkalinity, smaller molecules for better absorption and more calcium. Alkaline water ionizers do a great job of removing drinking water contaminants and boosting our immune system.

Effect on Hydrogen

Have you ever wondered what "pH" stands for? The "p" stands for potenz, meaning potential to be, and the "H" is for hydrogen. (Hydrogen atom at right having a single revolving electron.) If a substance is too acidic, that means the substance will not attract enough hydrogen (low pH), while an substance that is too alkaline will attract too much hydrogen (high pH).

When water is ionized, the molecule splits into two parts, the hydrogen ion (H+, acidic) and the hydroxide ion (OH-, alkaline).

Effect of Free Radicals

Free radicals are organic molecules responsible for aging, tissue damage, and possibly some diseases. These molecules are very unstable, therefore they look to bond with other molecules, destroying their vigor and perpetuating the detrimental process.

These molecules are unstable because they do not have an even number of electrons. They will therefore roam the body seeking to snatch an electron from other molecules. When they take away an electron from another molecule, that molecule is now unstable. This new molecule is now a new radical seeking an electron to re-stablize.

This snowball effect can wreak havoc on healthy tissue. The water you drink should have a negative ORP reading so that it acts as a powerful anti-oxidant eliminating "free radicals" which cause harm to your body.

Alkalized water is a powerful antioxidant, perhaps more powerful than any single food or vitamin supplement.

Effect on Electrons

Normal tap water has an ORP (oxidation reduction potential) of about +200 to +500 mV (milli-Volts) which makes it apt to acquire electrons. Alkaline ionized water has an ORP of about minus 200 mV (standard strength), and minus 600 to minus 800 mV (maximum strength) which gives it a large mass of electrons ready to donate.

Alkaline water is a powerful anti-oxidant (free radical scavenger) that protects your cells from damage. The alkaline water has gained electrons because it contains more hydroxyl ions( OH-).

This water possesses excellent absorption and hydrating abilities, higher alkalinity to aid in buffering the negative effects of over-acid digestive and health conditions, and an abundance of electrons to aid in neutralizing cell-destroying free radicals.

Effect on Oxygen

One water molecule, expressed with the chemical symbol H2O, consists of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. (Molecule shown at right). The abundant hydroxyl ions (OH-) in alkaline water can combine with each other to form water and thereby release oxygen.

When you drink ionized alkaline water, you are drinking water with excess
oxygen, not in the form of O2, but in the form of OH- which is very stable because it is
mated with positively ionized alkaline minerals.

The human body is 70 % water and the blood is 90% water, so after oxygen, water is the most vital nutrient. This added oxygen varies according to the pH selected and is present in the form of alkaline hydroxide ions (OH-).

Effect on Cells

Blood, which carries nutrients and oxygen throughout the body, is about 90% water. Blood plasma and other fluids that surround the cells in the body have a pH of 7. The ideal ph of blood is 7.40 to 7.45.

Activities like changing your respiration rate or eating different foods impact the pH slightly, but the body quickly compensates, mainly by releasing neutralizing agents into the bloodstream or changing the acidity level of your urine. If your blood starts to become too acidic, the kidneys will quickly compensate by releasing more acid into the
urine.

Every 7 years your body will have regenerated new cells, but because of the toxic load of chemicals in the blood due to environmental factors, the cells are replicating diseased, until finally the disease will surface and take the body over.

Many people have reported health improvement simply by drinking alkaline water daily, including weight loss, a lowering of cholesterol, blood pressure and many other benefits.
