There are many benefits for you when you make the decision to drink ionized water.
Water produced by a water ionizer will contain a cloud of tiny bubbles in the water. This is oxygen that is consumed to produce higher levels of oxygen in the blood. With the hydroxyl ions in ionized water (oxygen molecules with an extra electron attached to them) the body receives high levels of oxygen, which improves energy levels. We are able to stay alert as vital nutrients are carried throughout the body. Alkaline ionized water helps balance the body's pH level which is often acidic due to an unhealthy diet, carbonated beverages, stress and exposure to environmental toxins and smog. Yet, ionized water will not reduce bodily levels of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium.
Ionized water is up to six times more hydrating than conventional water. *
Ionized water also acts as an antioxidant, effectively neutralizing and blocking free-radical damage to the body. With its negative ORP, or Oxidation Reduction Potential, ionized water is a natural free radical scavenger, helping to protect cell tissue by converting the free radicals into oxygen. Normal tap water does not have the potential for reducing oxidation because its ORP is positive. Only a negative ORP can reduce or negate oxidation.
When used in cooking, ionized water helps bring out the natural taste of foods and juices. Using alkaline water to reconstitute juices from concentrates means juices lose their bite and taste sweeter because alkaline water neutralizes acids (the bite) in the juice. Tea and coffee will taste better too, while vegetables will retain a natural texture and colour. And you'll find rice and rolled oats are fluffier when boiled in ionized water.
* Once ionized, the size and shape of water molecule clusters become smaller and hexagonal in shape. These ionized water molecule clusters move into your tissues more easily, thus hydrating your tissues in a highly efficient manner. |
