Introducing Alkaline Water
Alkaline Water: Is it really good for you?
It seems like every day there’s another miracle cure hitting the market: a berry found hidden in the Amazon, or a tea grown only on the west side of a mountain in the Himalayas, possibly a root’s extract that can cure any ailment. And now, a device that transforms ordinary tap water into alkaline water.
If you’re like most people, you may be a little skeptical or overwhelmed. That’s okay! You’ve come to the right place: our website, IonizerResearch.com explores the exciting and rapidly growing world of alkaline water. We take a critical look at the industry’s leading water ionizers and provide consumer reviews to aid in your research process. But first, it’s time to discover a little more about alkaline, ionized water.
Is There a Scientific Test to Prove Alkaline Water has Beneficial Properties?
Yes, there is a test which measures the antioxidant content of alkaline water. It is called an ORP test. ORP means Oxidation Reduction Potential. In layman’s terms, an ORP meter measures the negative charge of a substance. Substances which contain a negative ionic charge like green tea, orange juice and alkaline water will neutralize free radicals and stop them from wreaking havoc in the body. See the clinical study below called Clinical Study: How Antioxidants from Alkaline Water Protect Human DNA, or download our free E-booklet on the clinical studies of alkaline water over the last 15 years.
Alkaline vs. Acidic
When it comes to pH (potential of Hydrogen), most people know more about why this matters in a pool or aquarium than in our own bodies. But did you know that our bodies are more than 75% water too? In fact, our blood is 83% water and has a very specific pH: 7.365. If our blood varies more than .1 pH from that level, illness quickly follows. Our body works constantly to maintain that pH balance.
The food we eat and water we drink has a pH, too. Here are a few common examples:
› Cola carbonated beverage – pH 2.0
› Standard cup of coffee – pH 4.1
› Ground beef – pH 3.2
So the critical question is this: if 90% of the average American diet is made of acidic food and water, how does our body manage to dispose of all this acid?
Although not through ideal procedures, our bodies do have a way of dealing with all this acid: neutralization. The body plays a clever trick and leaches (removes) calcium and magnesium (alkaline minerals) from our bones to help offset the over-acidification. Even worse, the acid that can’t be eliminated or neutralized is stored as solid waste.So alkaline water can play a key role in helping to keep the body’s pH balance in order.
pH Balancing & Hydration
According to the functional theory by many acclaimed research scientists and medical doctors, all diseases can be traced back to two simple problems:
Dehydration
water is the fluid of life. When we become dehydrated, we reduce our body’s ability to process nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Further, we starve the body of the fluid by which it cleanses and detoxifies the organs and blood, leaving toxins running rampant in our bodies.
Over-Acidification
our bodies prefer an alkaline environment. When acid builds up, it robs every available resource to maintain pH balance. Excess acid is stored in the body and slowly poisons us over.
In an ideal environment, we each would have plenty of fresh air and physical activity, as well as a diet that consists of green, leafy vegetables, unrefined “whole foods”, and plenty of fresh, pure water to wash it down. Living like this would help keep us pH balanced and processing foods and expelling wastes. Through good nutrition alone, it is possible to maintain a healthy and disease-free lifestyle.
You Are
What You Eat (and drink) An examination of the diet of countries that rank highest in overall wellness, lifespan, “healthy” life expectancy and low disease rates yields a common result: the people in these areas eat lots of green things. Uncommon, however, is what they drink: water is the key beverage. Further, the local natural water is much cleaner than water in America, without many of the harmful chemicals found here.
A Return to Origin: Alkaline Water
First, let’s establish that there is presently no one thing anyone can do to live a perfect, healthy life. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to this equation. However, most complementary health experts (and many mainstream doctors) now agree that the best place to start it by drinking alkaline water.
In the early 1950’s, two Russian scientists discovered a way to split a stream of water in to 2 parts: one acidic and one alkaline. The process used a series of magnets to create an electrolysis procedure.
The result? Negatively charged “ionized” alkaline water that is mineral rich, restructured or “reduced” for enhanced absorption and hydration, and full of free-radical fighting anti-oxidants. It tastes great, feels great, and does wonders for your body! It’s no wonder why the healthiest countries on earth have an alkaline water ionizer in almost every kitchen!
But What Does Alkaline Water Do?
We’ve heard countless testimonials over the years from people claiming all kinds of amazing health benefits from drinking ionized alkaline water. And while we believe many of these stories, the only way to truly know the potential is to try it for yourself. However, we will tell you why we believe alkaline water is so miraculous: for us, we’ve experienced many benefits that we attribute as follows:
Alkaline Water is Super Hydrating!
If our bodies are fighting to stay alkaline and we drink acid water, the body will be unable to benefit from it. It will simply flush through the system, taking many alkaline minerals with it. With ionized alkaline water, you can now drinking mineral-rich water that the body craves to stay hydrated. Ionized water doesn’t sit in the stomach and slosh around feeling heavy and bloated: it’s absorbed quickly, routed to the cells and pulled through the skin as perspiration; that’s the hydration equation!
Alkaline Water is Full of Anti-Oxidants!
Oxidation is aging, just like a nail oxidizes and rusts. Ionized alkaline water is made by an electrolysis procedure leaving the water negatively charged. A free-radical is a positively-charged hydrogen ion running amuck in the body. With ionized water, feel younger, have more energy, don’t get hung over and sleep like a baby!
Alkaline Water is Great for pH Balancing!
It’s not easy for us Americans to follow an alkaline diet, especially with our fast-paced lives. And even so, dietary preferences and personal taste still cause us to eat acidic food: Now, with alkaline ionized water, it’s easy to neutralize the acidity of our favorite foods just by drinking the clean, delicious water.
Discover it for yourself!
In our opinion, the success stories of alkaline water ionization are true for one simple reason: a water ionizer is a device that produces an abundant supply of the most hydrating water on the planet. We believe dehydration and acidity are at the core of every illness and disease. Many people ask if alkaline water can help with specific ailments. Our answer? If the ailment can be linked back to toxins, over-acidification or dehydration, then we’d say a water ionizer is a great place to start. But either way, the truth can only be discovered from your own personal experience. Fortunately, many water ionizer manufacturers offer a risk-free trial so that you can determine for yourself the benefit alkaline ionized water will have in your life.

How Antioxidants from Alkaline Water Protect Human DNA
Molecules containing oxygen are essential for cellular processes, however can occasionally become ‘malformed’ and turn into ‘free radicals’. Free radicals are extremely reactive and can cause significant damage to DNA and other structures held within cells. In the body, oxygen free radicals are removed naturally by an enzyme called ‘superoxide dismutase’ (SOD), which converts free radicals into safer molecules, but there is a limited supply of SOD, so antioxidants can help by removing some of the free radicals.
There are many antioxidants, but by far the most effective is the hydrogen antioxidant. Alkaline water contains a high concentration of dissolved hydrogen antioxidants, compared to tap water, due to the process of an electric water ionizer. A study [1] found that alkaline water reacted with oxygen free radicals in the same way as SOD, protecting the bonds holding the DNA helix together, as well as stopping a buildup of the potentially harmful products normally associated with SOD – which is a further indication of the effectiveness of ionized alkaline water as an antioxidant.

I’m already eating an alkaline diet. I also drink a PH water of about 8. Does anyone know if you can drink too much alkaaline water or can the body become too alkalined from too much alkaline products?
