Healthy Water
Healthy water is fundamental to
having a healthy life. It is critical to the environment and
vital to the health of our communities.
Without it we would not be able to drink, grow agricultural
products, or perform many essential activities that are vital
to our wellbeing and economy.
There are 3.3 BILLION ILLNESSES and 5.3 MILLION
DEALTHS each year because of unsafe water! This is a global
statistic - not a third world statistic!
 Every living cell in your body depends on
water for nourishment, elimination of waste, insulation,
and cooling. Unfortunately, many people do not realize the
importance of drinking healthy water.
Water PollutionDrinking water, like every other
substance, contains small amounts of bacteria. Most of these
bacteria are common ones and they are generally not harmful.
However, due to our declining environment, most of our water
is now highly polluted with toxins. Water pollution
affects our drinking water, rivers, lakes and oceans all over
the world. This consequently harms our health and the natural
environment.
Polluted water can cause serious health problems.
Even water that has been deemed 'safe' can still create
problems through continued exposure to many of the substances
present in it.
Fifty years ago, before the water was treated with
chemicals, 1 in 50 Americans had a disease caused by drinking
unhealthy water. Now 1 in 3 Americans have health problems
caused by drinking unsafe water!
Long-term drinking of polluted tap water can cause
numerous diseases or disorders, including: weak immune
system, headache, back pain, joint pains, fatigue,
irritability, anxieties, depression, nervousness, bad breath,
poor hygiene, dandruff, weak hair, high blood pressure, low
blood pressure, diabetes, hemorrhoids, increased acidity, acne,
renal failure, and menstrual, heart, liver, pancreas, kidney,
and prostate disorders.
ChlorinePollutants include man-made chemicals and
by-product chemicals used to disinfect and purify the water
such as chlorine.
Chlorinated water has been linked to reproductive and
developmental effects in children, breast cancer in women, and
heart disease. Chlorine, lead, parasites and other common tap
water components may have tragic long-term effects on small
children.
LeadLead can normally not be seen, tasted, or smelt in
drinking water. It can cause serious damage to the brain,
kidneys, nervous system, and red blood cells.
Research shows that even small levels of lead are
dangerous, especially for infants and children. Several
studies have indicated that lead can cause learning disorders,
attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, significant drops in
IQ levels, and other behavior-related problems.
It is important to check with your local water supplier to
find out what tests have been carried out - particularly if you
live in an older home that contains copper pipes soldered with
lead.
Water Filters Using a water filter to remove
viruses, bacteria, fungi and chemicals from tap water is
one step in the right direction to getting healthy
drinking water.
Though using a filter alone is usually not enough as most of
the minerals are removed. There are only a handful of excellent
water filters on the market that will retain the goodness of
the minerals.
Using similar technology to that of drinking water filters,
shower filters remove many of the same contaminants and give
you healthier, softer, skin and hair as well as major health
benefits through the reduction of chlorine and chlorination
by-products that are absorbed through the skin and inhaled with
steam.
It feels like showering in spring water! An added bonus of
using a shower filter is you get less soap scum. Also mineral
staining and discoloring is eliminated.
Using a quality home water filter is the best way to
provide clean, healthy water for your body – inside and
out.
Minerals in Healthy WaterMinerals are some of the most
important nutrients the body needs, yet mineral
deficiency is common.
Drinking healthy water is a natural means for humans to get
essential minerals like potassium, magnesium and calcium. These
minerals help our bodies work well and stay healthy.
Drinking healthy water enriched with these vital minerals
helps our defenses grow stronger and perform better;
giving us the protection we need during our developing and
fragile years.
Alkaline Ionized Water Alkaline is the opposite of acidic. Our
bodies are supposed to be alkaline, but due to the foods
we eat we become highly acidic which paves way to many
diseases including cancer, acidosis, obesity, premature
ageing, weak bones, and many more health-related
problems.
Alkaline
ionized water is different than the water we drink. It
contains ions, has a different boiling point, viscosity,
surface tension, and can enter our body cells three times
faster than ordinary tap water.
Alkaline ionized water reads at a pH level of 9.5% with an
ORP of -350, on average. Water from the ionizer filter is 100s
of times more alkaline than even the freshest spring water.
It is negatively charged and contains hydroxyl ions which
act as a super antioxidant. Ionized water, like the water found
in the Hunza Valley where the inhabitants have lived to be 100
to 120 years, has negative ORP numbers.
Essentially, ionized alkaline drinking water helps to
cleanse the body of toxicities, prevent disease, and
supports optimum health and energy. It enables the oxygen
in our drinking water to reach the blood in 30 seconds; the
brain in one minute; the skin in 10 minutes; and the liver,
heart, and kidneys in 20 minutes!
Drinking alkaline ionized water is an efficient and
effective way for the body to get its minerals as it goes
through a purification process that is re-mineralized in the
process, reproducing vital minerals back into the water.
This is very important and is a critical step in
understanding why our bodies are breaking down and becoming
increasingly depleted of its natural minerals and abilities to
fight off diseases and neutralize acid waste in our bodies.
In SummaryDrinking healthy water that is
alkalized and full of antioxidants can have a profound
affect on people's health. Especially when combined with a
high alkaline diet will provide energizing and healing
properties; boosting immunity, increasing energy and turning on
the anti-ageing gene.
