Health Benefits and Uses of Ionized Water
- Our body has an absolute need for water, we are 70% water.
- Each day we lose 1.5 litres water by urine, and another 1.5 litres by sweat, breath and other means.
- This water loss needs to replaced by pure, clean water. Other drinks like tea/coffee/soft drinks are diuretics, so you end up losing more water.
- The ionization process changes the water clusters to smaller, micro clusters.
- Smaller water clusters make the water much more hydrating.
- This is why Ionized water is called Microwater in health circles
- This is something that you will experience immediately for your self on drinking it.
- You don’t get the ‘bloated tummy’ feel from drinking ionized water as you do from tap water
- The ionizer easily allows you to to drink the 2-3 litres of water required by your body.
- This alone is sufficient reason to obtain a water ionizer for your home, all other benefits are a plus.
- With tap water we just don’t drink enough water. Even if we did, would all that chlorine and other chemical substances be advisable?
- Many people are advising that we should purify our tap water at point of use, including the late Dr Batmangheldj, author of The Bodies Many Cries for Water.
- Ionized water a good supply of colloidal, alkaline minerals.
- It is a good supply of anti-oxidants, as indicated by low ORP (ie the water is highly reduced)
- It provides excess oxygen in the stable -OH form.
Alkaline ionized water is purified water, that is tap water with all the toxins, poisons removed from it. The ionization process adds additional benefits to it, which makes it helpful for conditions such as:
