There are many benefits from using a water ionizer. But let’s start from basics.

A water ionizer is not just a water dispenser, but really a lifestyle water product that people should have in their homes. Not only are there benefits to drinking more alkaline ionized water but there are also any great uses for the acid water that has been created at the same time.

What Are Free Radicals

Our bodies are created by many atoms. Each one of these atoms have a full outer shell of electron that are usually stable and do not enter into chen廿cal reactions with other atoms. But sometimes atoms which lose their full outer shell of electrons will desperately seek out electrons whereever they can so they can be stable. These unstable or desperate atoms are known as free radicals.

Free radicals always want to seek stability and will try to steal an electron from any molecule that happens to be nearby. What this does is it causes the molecule which has lost its electron to the free radical to become unstable and a new free radical is made. This will in turn cause a never ending chain reaction, which can be harmful to our bodies.

Free Radicals & Oxidations

Oxygen free radicals are one of the most common types of free radicals. These oxygen atoms are missing one or more electron from their outer shell, making them unstable. Oxygen free radicals are what causes oxidation, both in the air and in our bodies. An apple that turns brown or metal that is rusting are examples of oxidation that we can see in our daily lives. These Oxygen free radicals are one of the factors that causes our body to age and deteriorate.

In moderation, free radicals are not evil nor bad, in fact free radicals are created by our body when performing daily life functions. Free radicals are actually essential in the synthesis of energy and essential nutrients are also involved in increasing our immune system. However, if the level of free radicals gets too high in our bodies, it can cause major problems. Various health issues and diseas­es have been linked to 扣gh levels of free radicals. So let’s try to keep our free radicals minimal by drinking more ionized water.

Alkaline Ionized Water is a Powerful Antioxidant

On the one hand free radicals are unstable molecules desperately seeking electrons for stability. They are known to cause cellular and DNA damage in our body, which in turn contribute to aging and the onset of various diseases.

How Does Ionization Affect the Molecular Structure of Water?

At the exit of the electrolytic cell, the water is separated into two streams:

The alkaline water stream contains a larger proportion of Hydroxyl ions [H+] which act as a powerful antioxidant, or reducing agent, because these ions have spare electrons that can easily be donated to our cells. Antioxidants neutralizes the oxidative damage caused by electron scav­enging free radicals in our body.
The acidic water stream contains a larger proportion of Hydrogen Ions [OH-], which contrary to Hydrogen Ions, act as a powerful oxidant or disinfectant capable of killing bacteria and other pathogens on contact (when pH is below 2.7). See uses of acidic water.

Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP)

ORP or Oxidation Reduction Potential is a measure of the molecular charge that comes when you ionizes water. It shows the level at which food or drink has the ability to oxidize or to reduce oxida­tion in your body. Basically it determines if the food you are eating is oxidant or an antioxidant.
Drinking Alkaline Ionized Water will naturally help you get more intake of antioxidants. Like taking a Vitamin C supplement which we know is good for us. The problem with Vitamin C is you can only take the recommended dose on the bottle, but with Ionized water you can drink as much Ionized water as you would like.

Micro Clustering Properties of Ionized Water

Alkaline water super-hydrates the body.Water molecules come in clusters rather than single mole­cules. Tap water which is under pressure has very large clusters of 15-20 molecules. The ionization process breaks the electrical bonding of water molecules and restructures the water down to about 4-6 molecules per cluster. This smaller cluster size means that the water can be more easily absorbed into the cells, thereby providing superior hydration for the body and helping to dissolve and flush out acidic solid waste and toxins that have accumulated in the body.

The Advantages of Alkaline Ionized Water

“Consuming alkaline ionized water on daily basis, will help neutralize acidity constitution in the body, and help facilitate a healthier, longer life.”

• The negative ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) on the ionized water will become extremely beneficial as an effective antioxidant for the body.
• Small water molecules help dissolution of nutrients and oxygen, and transfer them to our body cells with transfer of body wastes to give improvement of body metabolism.
• Ionizing water will keep the natural minerals found in our water such as calcium and magnesium in ionic form, so the body will be able to absorb and replenish these nutrients more easily keep­ing your bones and teeth healthier.
• Strong alkaline water has the ability to wash out pesticide and fertilizer residues that can be found in our fruits and vegetables, therefore reducing the amounts of toxic chemicals that willl enter our body. It can also act as a very environmentally friendly grease removing agent or disin­fectant.

The Advantages of Acidic Ionized Water

Acidic ionized water is not intended for drinking. It is used externally for cleaning and disinfecting the skin and household surfaces:

HAIR CARE:

Used for washing and rinsing hair,acidic water is good for the scalp and reduces dandruff

STERILIZATION:

Strong acidic water with a pH under 3.0 kills pathogens on contact and can be used to sterilize cutting boards, kitchen utensils, and other household surfaces

SKIN PROBLEMS:

Helps to relieve the aggravation caused by dry, itchy or chapped skin, and contributes to clearing acne, psoriasis, eczema, and athlete’ s foot

MOUTH CARE:

Use as mouth wash to kill germs, as gargle to help soothe sore throat, or for brushing teeth to remove plaque

ANTI-BACTERIAL:

Wash your fruits, vegetables, and meats to effectively kill bacteria

ANTISEPTIC:

Ideal for hand washing, also expedites the healing process of cuts, minor wounds, insect bites, rashes, athlete’s foot, and fungal infections.

DAILY SKIN CARE:

improves the complexion of your skin as it works as a natural astringent and removes dirt and oil without the use of chemicals
