What are Antioxidants?


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.

Hydrogen Production: Electrolysis

图片
Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.  This reaction takes place in a unit called an electrolyzer. Like fuel cells, electrolyzers consist of an anode and a cathode separated by an electrolyte. Different electrolyzers function in slightly different ways, mainly due to the different type of electrolyte material involved. POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANE ELECTROLYZERS In a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, the electrolyte is a solid specialty plastic material. Water reacts at the anode to form oxygen and positively charged hydrogen ions (protons). The electrons flow through an external circuit and the hydrogen ions selectively move across the PEM to the cathode. At the cathode, hydrogen ions combine with electrons from the external circuit to form hydrogen gas.         Anode Reaction: 2H 2 O → O 2  + 4H +  + 4e -        Cathode Reaction: 4H +  +...

Dangers Of Chlorine In Your Water

图片
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...

SPE / PEM tech NEW hydrogen water bottle

图片
AlkaVoda  SPE hydrogen water bottle  (model AOA-320 )  use SPE (Solid poly electrolytic) technology, and electrolysis plate has PEM (proton exchange membrane) membrane, so they produce PURE and SAFE hydrogen rich water, without by products such as OZONE, CHLORINE and other OXIDES Hydrogen generator water bottles  with SPE/PEM electrolysis make water of high hydrogen concentration from 800 -1300 ppb in short period of time. This water has strong reducing power with hydrogen reduction potential of -450~-550mV ORP . SPE/PEM electrolysis is new generation innovative technology of hydrogen generation Hydrogen water generators/ devices with SPE/PEM electrolysis technology produce SAFE and PURE hydrogen rich water. NO OZONE, CHLORINE and other OXIDES High concentration of hydrogen of 800 – 1300 ppb (0.8-1.3 ppm) in short period of time. Strong reducing power with hydrogen reduction potential of -450~-550mV and over. Generated hydrogen rich wat...
