Alkaline Water Reviews

What is Chlorine? Chlorine is a disinfectant added to drinking water to reduce or eliminate microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, which can be present in water supplies. The addition of chlorine to our drinking water has greatly reduced the risk of waterborne diseases. If you’ve ever been to a swimming pool, and most of us have, you’ll recognize that distinct chemical chlorine smell from the pool water. Most swimming pools use chlorine to disinfect the water and keep any bacteria or algae from growing, but that chemical also has tremendous adverse affects on our health. Why Is Chlorine So Dangerous? Chlorine was used in it’s gaseous form as a chemical poison weapon during World War I, and the results were disastrous. Today, chlorine is used in swimming pools, household cleaning supplies, and water treatment plants that end up as our drinking water. At room temperature, chlorine turns into a gas that is easily inhaled which can cause a myriad of health problems, so 

1. What are ORPs when Referring to Ionized Water? The element in water that works for or against good health, in addition to the pH of the water which should be between 7.5 and 10.0, is known as ORP or Oxygen Reduction Potential . There are two types of ORP — negative ORP and positive ORP. Positive ORP increases oxidation (not wanted in the body) and can lead to free radicals damage to cells. Free radicals, as you may read about, lead to degenerative diseases and other health issues. 2. What has Positive ORP? Positive ORP is found in tap water, bottled waters, distilled and reverse osmosis waters as well as cooked and processed foods. Simply put, there is no antioxidant capacity to help the body to neutralize acidity or prevent free radical and oxidative damage to our cells in these types of waters.  They have ZERO nutritional value to you other than helping hydrate the body.  They do not do what water really suppose to do for the body. 3. What are Negat

Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage.  Antioxidants act as hunter seekers of free radicals and destroy or inhibit them.  Hence, preventing and repairing damage done by these free radicals. Many health problems such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, macular degeneration, etc are all contributed to by oxidative damage. You may see that antioxidants are promoted quite often in different media; tv, radio, magazine ads, etc.  Foods rich in antioxidants are very sought after. One of the main reasons alkaline ionized water is so critical to health these days, is that it contains high levels of antioxidants that hunt down the “bad” stuff in your system, and help restore health, or may help prevent further damage by free radicals.

1.  What are people really talking about when they talk about body PH, or alkalinity vs. acidic effects on the body? The scale that is used for measuring the pH, or hydrogen ion concentration … is from 0 to 14, with 7 being the neutral point.  Below 7 is acidic; above 7 is alkaline. The optimal ph of the body’s fluids, such as the blood is 7.4, slightly alkaline. If deviated from this range … the body activity is no longer optimal and the metabolism is out of balance as the body will begin to store toxins in fat and move around acidic material to keep the blood PH in balance. The pH of the body is largely influenced by metabolic byproducts and our diet. Thus, pH is directly affected by the various categories of food that we eat and the internal mechanisms involved in their processing.  Some foods that are acid in their composition can become alkalizing following metabolizing by the body, such as lemons.  Accordingly, it is to become more aware of the impact that various foods

About ORP ORP  = Oxydation Reduction Potential.  The other way an ionizer alters the water is to turn it into a powerful antioxidant, measured as ORP (“Oxidation Reduction Potential”) –  It is a more complex concept and is an extremely difficult measure accurately. ORP is sometimes referred to as “Redox”. An ionizer’s alteration of the ORP of your drinking water is what causes the micro clustering, antioxidant and hydrating effects.   ORP is a “potential” energy that is stored and ready to be put to work. An analogous way to look at ORP would be to consider pressure. When you blow up a balloon you use energy that creates force. As long as the balloon remains closed, this force is a “stored potential energy” in this case measured as air pressure. When released, this “potential” energy becomes kinetic energy.   Potential electrical energy in liquid can be measured. It is measured with an ORP meter. These meters display extremely slight, and highly variable differences in the electri

pH stands for “potential hydrogen”.  It measures alkalinity or acidity  on the pH scale that runs from pH0 to pH14. A pH7 is neutral which means it is neither alkaline nor acidic.  Values below pH7 neutral are said to be acidic and values above pH7 are alkaline.   The scale is logarithmic (like the Richter Scale), meaning each full point increases or decreases by a factor of x10 rather than a single unit. For example a pH8 is  ten times  more alkaline than pH7, and a pH9 would be 10×10, or  one hundred times  more alkaline than neutral. Typical tap water runs at between pH6.5 and pH7.25 although extremes exist. neutral pH = 7,0    /    acidic pH < 7,0    /    alkaline pH > 7,0
