Learning About Water
72.7% of Americans Overweight or Obese
Alarming new statistics from U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDCP) indicate that 34% of Americans are obese, just
under 6% are extremely or morbidly obese, and another 32.7% are
considered overweight, according to data from a report released
January 9, 2009, by CDCP’s National Center for Health Statistics in
Rockville, MD. The International Bottled Water Association would
therefore remind Americans that drinking water - be it bottled or
tap - is an important part of a healthy diet.
The data in the report indicates almost three-quarters (or
72.7%) of all Americans weigh more than is healthy for their
individual body types. According to the CDCH, The prevalence of
obesity in America has doubled in the past two decades. As the CDCH
report further notes: A high prevalence of overweight and obesity
is of great public health concern because excess body fat leads to a
higher risk for premature death, type 2 diabetes, hypertension,
dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, stroke, gall bladder disease,
respiratory dysfunction, gout, osteoarthritis, and certain kinds of
cancers.
Good hydration - with plenty of calorie-free water - has got
to part of the solution to this alarming and preventable problem,
said IBWA President and CEO Joe Doss. We recommend that everyone
drink more water every day. And bottled water is a safe, healthy
beverage choice, whether at home or office or on the go. During
emergencies, we see how critical bottled water is for
disaster-stricken communities and the importance of a coordinated,
effective response to get drinking water to people in need. Obesity
is now a public health emergency, but for this problem, tap water
has as large a role to play as bottled water.
Water is an excellent choice for consumers who wish to avoid
or moderate calories, caffeine, sugar or the various ingredients
found in other beverages. Any actions by legislators or activist
groups that would discourage the consumption of water because it
happens to be a container (as nearly all beverages are) are not in
the public’s best interest, said Doss. We should all work together
to encourage consumption of water.
What Really is Bottled Water
Much
bottled water
and
mineral water is really bottled municipal tap water—in the
United States, government and industry estimate that municipal water
makes up twenty-five to forty percent of the bottled water sold.
American bottlers are also permitted by the FDA to label water as
spring water even when it’s treated with chemicals or pumped to the
surface through a well near a true spring. For example, wells across
southern Maine pump water to be sold as Nestlé’s Poland Spring,
which is sourced neither from Poland Spring nor any other spring.
It’s helpful to make a distinction between two different kinds of
bottled water.
Look Into the
Bottled Water Scam
Commodity Bottled Water
BOTTLED
WATER - The salient
characteristic of this type is that it is bottled, providing a
convenient package for on-the-go hydration. Water fountains or sinks
would work just as well to quench your thirst, but water companies’
self-serving marketing campaigns may have persuaded you that water
is healthier when it comes from a bottle.
This attitude turns bottled water into a
commodity, regardless of where the water comes from. Convenience is
the key; the water itself is nothing special. The large, powerful
companies behind these waters ensure that their products are the
ones found in everyday supermarkets, unfortunately.
Water like this is the reason journalists
sometimes condemn bottled water as a big scam, and I can understand
their thinking. I would be angry, too, if I bought water in the
supermarket only to discover that it was in fact purified tap water.
But I’m not angry,because I know better: I buy bottled water.
Natural Bottled Water
NATURAL BOTTLED
WATER
-
These very special waters express terroir. Bottled
at the source, they may be naturally carbonated and are treated only
minimally (if at all). Contact with geological formations imparts a
unique mineral composition to each water; many of these compositions
are reputed to have healthful properties. Some waters may have been
formed only thirty days before bottling, whereas others are more
than twenty thousand years old.
Many companies and individuals care deeply
about the water they sell and its source. In talking with them they
could certainly talk about their product all day they are proud of
delivering natural bottled water and obsessed with protecting its
source. Some of these companies are new, but sometimes the waters
have been used since Roman times, more than two thousand years ago.
About Alkaline Water
Watch this Video to Better Understand Ionized
Water
You are
about to will learn everything you need to know about alkaline
water, its effects, and how to best use it in your lifestyle.
Even if you know nothing about pH, ORP, alkaline water, or water
ionizers, you will get the education you need to make a smart
decision for your health and wellness. Whether or not you
ultimately get involved with a water ionizer is up to you.
The goal is to make sure that when you do choose to purchase an
ionizer, you'll be making an educated decision and be
healthier because you decided to include Ionized water into your
diet.
"Alkalinity and You - How an Alkaline Diet Can Improve Your Health"
Most people hear about water ionizers for one reason - they're
interested in drinking alkaline water. So what is this growing
trend all about? What really is the importance of an alkaline diet?
The
human body finds its natural balance at a pH of 7.3. We'll get
further into pH in later but for now, just know that pH 7.0 means
something is neutral, above 7.0 means it is alkaline, and below 7.0
means it is acidic.
This means that our body is NATURALLY alkaline in its composition.
This is a balance that is maintained at all costs by our body
processes. Meaning our bodies will always be working to keep our
blood at 7.3 pH. The more acidic food/drink/substances that we feed
into our body, the harder our body has to work to maintain this
alkaline balance. The harder we make our body work, the more easily
illnesses can form as a result.
Studies have been done to show that almost ALL of today's most
common health issues can be linked to a combination of dehydration
and over-acidity of a person's diet. Illnesses like chronic
headaches, diabetes, obesity, acne, indigestion, and numerous
others have all been individually linked to this lack of balance in
the body.
By maintaining a well-hydrated alkaline diet, you're helping your
body in truly countless ways. So when we're looking into an alkaline
diet, what are the key foods to avoid?
Soda is the absolute worst thing you can put in your body. Sodas
have been measured at a pH of 2.3, acidic enough to dissolve human
teeth! It can take up to 28 glasses of 7.0 pH natural water to
balance out the acidic consequences of one glass of soda.
Other common acidic foods are fatty, greasy foods, particularly red
meat and certain nuts.
Foods that are great to eat would include many of your green
vegetables, certain fruits, certain fish, and certain teas. Print
out and Carry the Printable food chart provided below.

Most people are not going to to dramatically change their diets. But
by taking out key acidic elements of your diet (like removing soda),
and having a diet rich in alkaline water becomes very easy to start
living a far more balanced lifestyle. You'll find it easy to do.
You will begin feeling more energetic, seeing a faster recovery
after workouts, and simply enjoying an overall better mood after
achieving the alkaline balance in your body. It's truly worth the
effort!
About Alkaline Water
Let's
take an in depth look and learn about pH (Potential Hydrogen)
and ORP (Oxygen Reduction Potential), what they are. This
information will help you understand how Ionizer Water can be
beneficial to your health and well-being. Also, it will prepare
you to deal with all the different, and sometimes conflicting,
information out there. Many people find this stuff confusing,
but you will now have a good grasp of it.
pH - A Logarithmic Measurement
pH, as defined by Wikipedia, is the "negative decimal logarithm
of the hydrogen ion activity in an aqueous solution." Here's
what that means. Basically, pH is the level of hydrogen ions
which are floating around in a liquid. The liquids that we'll be
primarily talking about are your bodily fluids. Hydrogen ions
are free floating atoms of hydrogen, which are unbound to any
other molecules.
You
need to be concerned with this because the more free floating
hydrogen ions there are, the more oxidation which can occur.
Oxidation is what happens when metal rusts, or fruit turns brown
and squishy. The oxidation of your body is what causes aging,
poor health, and eventually cancer or death.
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Acidic
pH is anywhere below 7, with "basic", or alkaline, levels being
above 7. Our bodies are in a healthy balance when the pH is
approximately 7.35, meaning our bodies are slightly alkaline.
Most people in the United States,
however, are walking around with a much lower than neutral pH
level. Your average soda has a pH level of 2.7! It is highly
acidic. Greasy animal proteins and processed foods only further
this pH destruction, throwing our bodies out of balance. Green
tea, has a pH of 9.0 (alkaline.)
In geographic areas where processed foods aren't most peoples'
primary source of nutrition, and naturally high pH drinks (like
green tea) are a staple of the average diet, most people
experience longer and healthier lives. Not only do they live
longer, but you don't see nearly as many elderly people
experiencing extreme loss of mobility or an overall loss of
functionality.
ORP - Oxidation Reduction
Potential
When something
is oxidized, it means the molecules of that substance are being
combined with oxygen. While life as we know it could not be
possible without oxygen, it is also a devastating killer of our
cells. Oxidation, as stated above, is what you're watching when
a metal rusts, or a fruit turns brown. When cells are oxidized,
they become damaged and useless.
A term that gets thrown around a lot, but which most people
don't truly understand, is "antioxidant". "Oh, that's really
healthy. It's full of antioxidants." ORP is exactly what people
are talking about when they say that!
When
something is measured as having a negative ORP, it is healthy
for your body. It is an antioxidant and will help to reverse the
damaging processes that are associated with the oxidation of
cells. When the reading is a positive ORP, it means that that
element is an oxidizer, and will accelerate negative processes
(such as the
formation of cancer).
The Relation Between pH and
ORP
pH and ORP are
different measurements, yet are very closely related. Acidic
solutions are also positive in ORP, while alkaline solutions
contain negative ORP.
Alkaline water has a negative ORP and is an antioxidant.
Now that you know more about pH and ORP, you can better
understand the benefits of alkaline water and Ionized Water.
Also, you can now see why a water ionizer's performance is
almost entirely based off of these two ratings. The entire
purpose of creating ionized water is to achieve a specific pH
and ORP in that water. A machine is ranked based on its ability
to do that. By controlling the pH and ORP of your water and
utilizing both acidic and alkaline water for different daily
tasks, you can live a healthier, longer, and more energetic
life!
Water
ionizers
Water Ionizer
have been around for over 20 years, although relatively few
in the USA know about them. They were invented in Korea and
have become a mainstream technology there, available in
hospitals, clinics, and homes all around the country. This
technology is now making its way into the West, available
for us to use in our homes.
A water ionizer is a machine that ionizes water through a
process of electrolysis. These machines also commonly
filter the water before ionization.
So what does this mean? Let's explore the process as a two
part operation.
Tap water is filled with
industrial waste and discarded pharmaceuticals which require
intense filtering for optimum purity. Also, there are
commonly heavy metals and harmful bacteria found in many
water sources. The first part of any good water treatment
involves the filtering of the incoming water.
The harmful ingredients that need to be filtered out of tap
water are:
Lead
Organic Chemicals
Particulate
Pesticides
Trihalomethanes
Volatile Organic Chemicals
Detergents
Asbestos
Viruses
Pollens
Good Water Ionization however does NOT filter out the
minerals which are soluble in water. This means that unlike
distillers or reverse osmosis devices, the water ionizers
will leave in all of the healthy minerals your body requires
for proper functioning. You are left with nothing but
clean, mineralized water which is ready
for the ionization process.
Should we Be Concerned About Drugs in the Water Supply?
An AP study reported earlier this year
that a vast array of pharmaceuticals, including antibiotics,
anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones, have
been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41
million Americans. It appears that the 41 million number is
a result of the partial survey they did. Many areas were
not tested. There are also small amounts
of over-the-counter medicines including acetaminophen and
ibuprofen Some wonder how concerned we should be.
I n the United States, the problem isn't
confined to surface waters. Drugs also permeate deep
underground aquifers which provide 40 percent of the
country's water supply. Human drugs are the not the only
source. They also come from cattle and pet drugs.
Water providers rarely disclose results of pharmaceutical
screenings. Of those areas tested, fewer than half of the
large metropolitan, and almost no smaller providers, even
test the water for drugs.
Recent studies which have found alarming
effects on human cells and wildlife.
Drugs in waterways are
damaging wildlife across the nation and around the globe,
research shows. Notably, male fish are being feminized,
creating egg yolk proteins, a process usually restricted to
females. Pharmaceuticals also are affecting what are called
sentinel species at the foundation of the pyramid of life -
such as earth worms in the wild and zooplankton in the
laboratory, studies show.
Recent laboratory research
has found that small amounts of medication have affected
human embryonic kidney cells, human blood cells and human
breast cancer cells. There's growing concern in the
scientific community, meanwhile, that certain drugs - or
combinations of drugs - may harm humans over decades because
water, unlike most specific foods, is consumed in sizable
amounts every day. And, unlike many other contaminants
found in water, drugs are designed to have an
impact on biological functions!
Our bodies may shrug off a
relatively big one-time dose, yet suffer from a smaller
amount taken in continuously over a many years. Impacts
might stimulate allergies or cause nerve damage. Pregnant
women, the elderly and the very ill might be more at risk
than most (as usual).
"These are chemicals
that are designed to have very specific effects at very low
concentrations. That's what pharmaceuticals do. So when they
get out to the environment, it should not be a shock to
people that they have effects," says zoologist John Sumpter
at Brunel University in London, who has studied trace
hormones, heart medicine and other drugs.
While drugs are
tested to be safe for humans, the timeframe is usually over
a matter of months, not a lifetime. Drugs also can produce
side effects and interact with other drugs at normal medical
doses. There are no controls over which drugs are taken in
this way, so negative interactions are certainly possible.
That's why, except for fluoride, pharmaceuticals are
prescribed to people who need them, not delivered to
everyone in their drinking water.
We like to use the information available
to us and reach our own conclusions. We remember that the
medical industry in not-so-distant decades told us that
tobacco was good for us, that lead and asbestos were not
dangerous, and that human activity was not impacting the
climate. Many still argue that fluoride has no risk in our
water supply, despite that fact that we now intake fluoride
at 4 times the level we did when they started adding
fluoride
to the water supply. We now ingest it from other sources
too, including our food and drinks. We are baffled as to
why so many put common sense behind what science has
proven. We're not anti-science, we love it. But it
shouldn't replace our ability to think for ourselves.
The intelligent decision is not to wait
for science to declare when something is dangerous, but to
use our own common sense. This leads us to the obvious
conclusion. Taking drugs intended for others is a bad idea!
Don't let your body be an unintended science experiment.
The real amazing part of this Ionization process is the
mineral distribution. The harmful minerals and mineral
compounds such as fluoride are eliminated while the positive
minerals (mainly) flow out with the alkaline, leaving us
with healthy ionized drinking water.
Beneficial Changes to the
Water
While the
ionization is happening, not only are pH and ORP changing
but another profound change is happening. From ordinary H20
the water becomes OH-. This means it becomes a powerful
antioxidant formula at an atomic level. It also means that
it changes the way its molecules group together.
Normal H20 molecules clump together in groups of 12, while
this new water only groups in clumps of roughly 6. The
water clusters are smaller, which according to Dr. Hayashi,
of the Japanese Water Institute, gives it the ability to
penetrate tissue and cell more easily.
This is why many people experience detoxification effects in
the first few weeks of drinking the water, as it infiltrates
areas that have not been reachable with ordinary H2O. This
is what is called "microclustered" water. It is also very
beneficial to people who are experiencing an increased
difficulty in absorption in the upper intestines, which is
common with aging.
*Important
Note :
The ORP change of ionized water begins to decrease
after 18 - 24 hours, the pH change 1 - 2 weeks, and the
micro clustered effect 2 - 4 weeks. For maximum benefit,
make sure to consume ionized water within 24 hours of
creation.
