Alkaline Ionized WaterAlkaline ionized water is water that is on the alkaline or basic side of neutral on the pH scale. More accurately termed alkaline water, we often refer to it as ionized or restructured water because we start with tap water and use a device to convert it to an alkaline state.The health advantages of drinking alkaline ionized water instead of tap or bottled water will become obvious to you as you read this page.
Tap water is normally at a pH level of 7 which is considered neutral on the pH scale. As the number decreases the item measured is considered to be more acidic. Increased levels register a state of alkalinity. Notice that sea water is recorded at about 8 pH. (actually it is in the range of 7.5 to 8.4) This means that the majority of the water on Earth is on the alkaline side of neutral. Coincidentally, or perhaps not (?) ... Blood pH is Also AlkalineYour blood registers slightly alkaline at a pH level of about 7.4. If it strays from this alkaline state you are sick.In Fact your blood needs to be maintained at a range between 7.35 and 7.45 in order for you to live. This entire range is slightly alkaline so eating an alkaline diet and drinking alkaline ionized water will help maintain your health. Of these two, drinking the water will have the largest impact on your health. It is important to understand that each increment or step on the pH scale is one order of magnitude or 10 times the previous step. This means that a small increase in acidity, even a .5 increase, can have a huge affect on your health. What can alkaline water, sometimes referred to as "Living Water", do for your health? Watch the following short video to find out. Why the Concern About Our Drinking Water?I am sure you already understand that water is the very essence of life. It accounts for over 70% of your body’s total make up and must be properly maintained in order for you to stay hydrated.The water you drink is vital to your health not only to stay hydrated but also to flush toxins and other wastes from your body. Unfortunately, the water you drink every day is probably not providing all the benefits it should. In many cases it may actually be adding to your health issues. Perhaps it is time you made the switch to alkaline ionized water and return your body to its natural state. 
What's Wrong with Tap Water?The water supply in our industrial world is contaminated with:
Your drinking water travels through pipes, passes through filtration devices and is subjected to various systems that manipulate its electrical properties. Then, to counteract the effects of any remaining contaminates your municipal water system adds chlorine to your tap water. Chlorine may kill some or most of the traces of harmful elements in our water but consuming it in such large quantities over time may be as bad for us as the contaminates themselves. Water has a neutral pH by nature. The municipal treatment process and environmental pressures only increase its acidity which is then passed on to our bodies. Add to this the fact that most Americans consume almost twice as much soda as water and subsist on a diet that is best described as substandard which can increase already high acid levels. This results in a condition known as acidosis which may lead to severe dehydration. So in reality the water we depend on to hydrate and rid our bodies of waste may be only adding to the toxins that already exist and ... Bottled Water isn’t any BetterIn fact studies have shown that bottled water often contains more contaminants than tap water. The plastic containers alone contain dioxins which have been proven to be carcinogenic.Are You Drinking Dead Water? For decades the Japanese have referred to distilled water or water treated by reverse osmosis as dead water because it has been depleted of its minerals and can be highly acidic. When water is acidic it has very little potential to reduce oxidation in the body. This encourages the growth of free radicals which damages cells, organs and DNA through oxidation. Free Radicals Cause IllnessFree radicals are known to be a root cause of many significant health challenges as well as the aging process itself. More than 80% of all illnesses can only exist in an acidic environment so it is a logical assumption that by restoring the body to an alkaline state we can regain control of our health and the most effective way to achieve the transformation to alkalinity is by drinking alkaline ionized water. That is, water that has been restructured turning acidic dead water into alkaline living water.
Simply put acidic water has more protons than electrons resulting in a positive charge. When you reverse the proton to electron ratio to increase alkalinity through a process known as ionization, you create water with a negative charge. The oxidation reduction potential or ORP of a substance is directly linked to its charge. Substances with positive charge are acidic and in most cases substances with negative charges are alkaline. The further below zero the charge the greater the amount of antioxidant properties. For this reason alkaline ionized water has an enhanced ability to fight free radicals at the cellular level. What is ORP?To gain a better understanding of the concept of ORP let’s take a look at the ORP values of some commonly consumed substances. Some waters and soda are at the high end or extreme acidic point of the ORP scale. As you move down in numeric value on the scale, the ORP value increases with alkaline ionized water at the extreme low or most alkaline point.Alkaline ionized water has the ability to maintain your health and vitality. Health benefits may include:
Even better, these benefits extend to most every aspect of our daily lives enhancing everything from the foods we prepare, our household cleaning, personal care and beyond. So, to recap, when it comes to drinking water: 7 -10 pH is good - 1 - 6 pH is bad Negative ORP is good - Positive ORP is bad Lucky for you, both measurements go together. For negative ORP and high pH levels, you should be drinking good quality filtered alkaline drinking water. If you want to know which unit my family uses
