A Guide To Ionizers

Acidic conditions allow the level of free radicals in the body to rise, which creates oxidation and ultimately decay. If you consider an apple which is cut open and left on the side to go brown or a piece of metal left to rust, this is oxidation in action. A similar effect takes place in the body, except it is the cells which decay and “go brown” like the apple. This leads to cellular damage which has been directly linked to the presence of serious diseases such as cancer.

Free radicals cause such damage because they don’t have any stability and as such seek out electrons to attach themselves to. When these are taken from cells, the “victim” cell then transforms into a new free radical and thus the chain reaction continues all over the body. By introducing alkaline conditions, and thus the anti-oxidants they contain, the free radicals can find a surplus of electrons to cling to, saving them from “stealing” electrons from cells that need them. This is one of the most effective ways that alkaline water can help slow down the ageing process and protect against the development of disease.

Acidic water isn’t completely useless of course; it’s suitable for a range of other purposes, just not for consumption. Possible uses include skin and hair care, garden, antiseptic actions, anti-bacterial and sterilisation (when the pH level is 3.0 or lower).

There is growing research establishing the science behind the benefits of alkaline water, which includes international centres such as the Mayo Clinic. By reducing the acidic conditions in the body, alkaline water has the potential to bring a whole host of benefits. 

Some of these that have been suggested include improved cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure, better hydration and the ability to detoxify the body effectively. 

Digestion problems, inflammatory conditions, allergies, gout, diabetes, cancer, immune deficiencies, chronic pain and fatigue have all been improved with the consumption of ionized alkaline water too. Results may vary depending on a number of different factors including the source of the water and the pH balance within the individual, although there is potential for significant health benefits from making just one small change.

It is only alkaline water which is full to the brim with vital anti-oxidants, and it is these which hold the key to keeping you looking youthful. Anti-oxidants help eliminate free radicals within the body, and these have been strongly linked to the ageing process. By drinking alkaline water you will help to protect your cells against damage and slow down the ageing and degeneration process.

Don’t just flush away your byproduct acidic water, it has many other uses. Acidic water is a natural cleanser and astringent so it’s excellent at cleaning the skin and it’s also good for washing the hair too. Get rid of those nasty chemical cleaners and replace them with naturally acidic water for results which leave a glow on the outside. If you have a skin problem you might find that switching to using acid water may help to ease your problem. Psoriasis, eczema and fungal infections can all respond very well to the qualities of acidic water in particular.

The water is first filtered to ensure any impurities are removed. It then enters the ionization cell where it is exposed to a specific magnetic field which is carefully controlled. This ionisation cell causes an attraction of the soluble minerals within the water to either a negative or positive pole. As the attraction occurs, the water naturally splits into two streams: alkaline and acid. The alkaline water can then be used to drink and the acid water can be used for washing and disinfecting.

The alkaline water which is produced will typically have a pH level of between 8 and 11 while the acidic water will have a pH of 3 to 6. The actual results of the pH level may vary somewhat depending on the quality of the original tap water used and the hardness/softness of the water in your area.
