A toxin can be defined as any substance that doesn’t belong in the body. It so happens that most toxins have a positive charge. Remember that a negative charge is good, and a positive charge is bad. The negative ions in alkaline ionized water attach themselves to toxins and help begin the process to eliminate the toxins from the body.
Ionized water is often called micro cluster water. Micro cluster is a reference to the idea that when water is ionized, the number of water molecules that group together is reduced. Usually, water molecules group in number of 10, while ionized water groups water molecules in an order 6. This reduction in size of the cluster is able to penetrate body tissues more easily.
Two properties of alkaline ionized water comprise the antioxidant benefits. This water has a negative charge, and has hydroxyl ions. This negative charge is associated this oxidation-reduction potential or “ORP”. A negative ORP as found in alkaline ionized water can reduce oxidation. Normal tap water is usually not alkaline and is certainly not ionized. Tap water is found to have oxidative properties with a positive ORP. And any substance you consume with a positive ORP will contribute to an over acid state in your body.
Note that all fresh fruits and vegetables have a negative ORP and thus are antioxidants. In all cases, when we consume antioxidant substances with a negative ORP, we are aiding the reduction of the oxidative aging process.
The negatively charged hydroxyl ions are actually a molecule with one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom (HO-). These ions, with the negative charge carry with them an extra electron, which can be given to free radicals. This cancels the oxidative properties of the free radicals.
Why is this important? Disease thrives in an acidic environment. An acid environment in the body is what you want to work against by a change in your diet. An easy change is in the type of water you drink. The biggest secret when it comes to maintaining and/or achieving health is to drink alkaline ionized water or Kangen Water.
Ionized water is found in mountain streams. Water running through rocks will have an ionizing effect with the creation of hydroxyl ions. There is much discussion within this topic about whether you should drink whatever water you can get (because you body can take it), or understand that your body is a delicate chemistry project, and choose to select carefully what you drink. I’ve chosen the latter; as I want to do everything I can to preserve my health. When you hear about recent stories about people dying of cancer.
The best Kangen alkaline water machine that I know of is the Leveluk SD501 by the Enagic Corporation. This top of the line water ionizer is the flagship for Enagic. And I have owned one for several months now. What is my personal experience, so far? People notice I’m thinner.
