Ionized Water For Health & Fitness

Because seventy to ninety percent of all living things are composed of water, understanding the chemical reactions that support life can be critical to our health and well being, and identifying health water benefits makes a lot of sense.

Ionized water affects our bodies in several ways. Since it is a good antioxidant, it tends to neutralize free radicals. Ionized water is produced by the Kangen water machine, specifically drinking water, through the process of electrolysis. This antioxidant health water has several properties that are generally thought to be anti-aging and not found in your typical drinking water.

High Alkaline Ionized Water

Specifically, electrolyzed high alkaline water is micro clustered into smaller clusters consisting of half the molecules per cluster than if found in your typical drinking water. The benefit of this micro clustered water is that it is able to be absorbed by the body two to three times faster enabling much improved rehydration.

Also, the higher pH of this alkaline ionized water helps to neutralize acidic wastes in our bodies which is a typical byproduct of normal metabolism, as well as occurs from environmental toxins. Alkaline water is recommended in addition to an alkaline diet high in vegetables and fruits.

In addition, Kangen water is ionized which gives it a large amount of negatively charged hydroxyl ions as Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) which allows it to rapidly detoxify the body. It will bond with acidic waste products stored in our fat cells and rapidly detoxify the body. One other enormous benefit is the natural weight loss that occurs easily when drinking ionized water on a daily basis during the first few weeks of using an ionized water machine, like Enagic, and continuing as your body detoxifies into the future.

Shown to Help Protect Cells Against Damage

Recent research makes evident that a water ionizer used for drinking helps protect cells against oxidative damage to RNA and DNA, as well as important proteins which results in fighting cancer. Additional studies show that alkaline water improves the antioxidant benefits of vitamin C up to three times thereby improving immune function.

During metabolism the energy in the food we consume goes through a process of aerobic respiration where each cell produces ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is used to supply energy for just about every other of our metabolic functions. At the same time this process produces free radicals or waste products. Even though free radicals are used by cells for several useful functions, when these free radicals are not removed fast enough you can have oxidative damage to RNA, DNA, as well as fats and proteins throughout the cell.

Some studies indicate that an abundance of free radicals may be a major contributing factor to some cancers through genetic mutations resulting in malignancies. It’s true that the body is well able to repair this damage, the body can be overwhelmed and as a result of degradation over time these free radicals can contribute to what is known as the Free Radical Theory leading to a wide range of illnesses.

The increased knowledge and importance of antioxidants like vitamin C, A, E and their related foods (fruits and vegetables) is a direct result of this knowledge.

Ionized Drinking Water

Alkaline ionized water contains a large amount of negatively charged antioxidant hydroxyl ions which help neutralize the positively charged free radicals and prevent them from stealing electrons form other important molecules inside the cell like DNA. There is medical research that shows ionized water does protect against this oxidizing damage to our RNA and DNA, in addition to proteins.

Drinking ionized water directly and positively affects these positively charged cellular molecules. Because this high alkaline ionized water acts as an antioxidant it reduces the oxidative damage to DNA, RNA and protein in the body’s cells.
