Alkaline, Anti-Oxidants & Micro-Clusters
Many years ago, in search of finding the best water, scientists started looking around the world for the best source of “natural” water. They found 2 places where people claimed that the water had healing qualities to it. Upon further investigation, it was found that the locals living nearby 2 locations (one in France, and one in the Himalayas) were very healthy and had unexpectedly low disease rates. When they started investigating the water, the researchers found that the water was highly alkaline and ionized. Armed with this knowledge, scientists wanted to re-create this water and they did so by using the process of ionization.
Alkaline Water – Tasty Choice
In spite of all the mis-information out there, alkaline water is good for you when it is made the right way. In another word, there are different ways to make alkaline water, and not all produce the same result. You can do an internet search for alkaline water and you’ll see recipes for making your own alkaline water by using baking soda and lemon. These are the types of alkaline water that have given the name a bad wrap. These are the types of alkaline water that are more likely to cause (instead of relieving) problems.
High in Anti-Oxidants
Anti-oxidants are responsible for battling the oxidative stress we place on our bodies. Different diets like processed foods, hamburgers, pizza, and red meat place a toll on our bodies by producing free radicals. These free radicals cause our bodies to develop different kinds of problems. Any food (or beverage) that has anti-oxidants is a good way to counter the harmful effects of the free radicals.
Absorption – Cluster Size
Water molecules (you know, H2O) found in tap water cluster together in groups of 10 or more. They stay in this configuration no matter what type of filtration you have. Ever drink a tall glass of water and end up with a “full” or “bloated” feeling. That’s because of the cluster size. The larger the cluster size, the harder it is for the body to enter our cells (i.e. be absorbed by our body). Kangen water ionizers produce water that is in a micro-cluster size (5 and less water molecules at a time). This way, our body can absorb the water easier.
