Alkaline water can help balance out the acidity in the body caused by stress, anxiety, fast food, soft drinks, coffee, alcohol, cigarettes, and various forms of pollution. Research by Dr. Robert O. Young, author of the book “The pH Miracle for Weight Loss,” states that “the body creates fat cells to trap and balance excess acid in the body.” This is the reason we gain weight and accumulate excess fat. Therefore, drinking alkaline water helps balance excess acid in the body. In addition, while the stomach produces highly acidic digestive juices, the body in turn produces bicarbonates, which are highly alkaline. These are absorbed into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body, which is highly beneficial for balancing the body’s acidity. However, you should not drink this water immediately after a full meal, as it will dilute the concentration of the digestive juices in your stomach.

Water produced through the electrolysis process carries a high negative charge, making it an excellent antioxidant that helps reduce the deterioration of the body’s cells and DNA. Aging and the onset of degenerative diseases — such as osteoporosis, joint problems, and skin conditions — result from the body’s cells being damaged by waste acids from food metabolism and free radicals in the body. Therefore, drinking alkaline water helps balance the waste acids in the body and helps eliminate the free radicals that cause various serious diseases. It is suitable for those who are ill, suffering from serious diseases, or experiencing premature aging.

Thanks to the electrolysis process, the molecule size is reduced to 6 molecules per cluster, which is far smaller compared to ordinary water such as tap water, water from standard filtration systems, mineral water, and regular bottled water. Water with smaller molecules offers great benefits to the body, as follows:

◉ Better penetration into the body — such as the bloodstream and cell walls — allowing nutrients, oxygen, and antioxidants to be carried into cells quickly and easily. This helps the body absorb nutrients better and burn food more efficiently, and is also suitable for those who are ill or suffering from serious diseases.

◉ Helps flush toxins out of cells easily. Because the smaller molecule clusters penetrate cells easily, they can also exit cells easily, carrying the waste acids from cellular metabolism out of the cells, into the bloodstream, and out through the kidneys. For this reason, those drinking alkaline water for the first time may feel slightly dizzy, as the water is absorbed and waste is expelled rapidly, causing the body to react suddenly.

◉ Provides better hydration. Because the water molecules are smaller, it is easier to drink and you can drink more of it. Alkaline water tastes good — the smaller molecule clusters stimulate the taste buds on the tongue more effectively — resulting in better hydration, helping the body function better, become stronger, and build greater immunity against disease.

◉ Helps lower blood pressure and combat diabetes. Research in China found that drinking alkaline water in people with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids continuously for 3–6 months helped reduce those conditions. It also helps lower blood viscosity, which may help reduce stress as well as heart and cardiovascular disease.

◉ Aids the digestive system. It helps relieve constipation, cleanses the intestines, and flushes toxins from the body, which improves bowel function. This leads to better nutrient absorption and metabolism, as well as strengthening the body’s immune system.

◉ Contains minerals beneficial to the body, such as calcium, sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Because alkaline water has small molecules, it can dissolve beneficial minerals from food well and absorb them quickly into the body’s cells. This is especially helpful after exercise, reducing dehydration and relieving fatigue, since the minerals are absorbed into the body quickly.
