Alkaline, ionized water directly addresses five of the major causes of aging skin: Toxicity, Dehydration, Acid pH balance, Free Radicals, and Stress and Cortisol.

“The difference between the 20 year old you and the 40 year old you physically is that you have accumulated more acidic wastes at 40 than at 20.”
– Sang Wang, engineer, scientist, and inventor with many U.S. patents

Toxicity - You can’t have beautiful skin if it is loaded with toxins. Toxins in our body and embedded in our skin are one of the most prolific causes of aging and disease. Alkaline Ionized water provides powerful, yet gentle, detoxification flushing acidic waste from the body; cleansing at a deep cellular level.

Dehydration - Dehydration is a crippling enemy of the skin. Alkaline Ionized water passes through your tissue more easily because of its smaller molecular structure. In fact, ionized water is up to six times more hydrating then conventional water.

“Dehydration is associated with problems as diverse as scaly, taut skin, superficial lines and premature aging, in addition to arthritis, insomnia, headaches, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stress, anxiety, depression, and colitis.”
– Dr. F. Batmanghelidj

Acid pH Balance -To retain healthy and youthful skin, establish an alkaline pH. Medical studies report that a pH that is acidic can be correlated to almost all health conditions, including premature aging, heart disease, arthritis and cancer. Drinking alkaline water is one of the most powerful ways to quickly restore and maintain your body’s pH balance for optimal health and youthful skin.

“If the world has accepted antioxidants to slow down the aging process, it should readily agree to the uses of ionized alkaline water as an anti-aging agent.”
– Dr. Arthur M. Ecano, MD

Free Radicals - are the cause of oxidative stress, the principle cause of aging and premature death. By controlling free radicals, anti-oxidants influence how fast and how well we age. Alkaline ionized water carries a negative electrical charge (OH-) which makes it one of the most potent antioxidants available anywhere.

High Levels of Stress and Cortisol - are major contributors to the aging process and disease. Toxicity, Dehydration, Acid pH balance, and Free Radicals all contribute to elevated stress and cortisol levels.

Alkaline ionized water has been proven to help with these issues: toxicity, dehydration, acid pH balance, and free radicals.

As you probably know, fruits and vegetables begin to reduce in their nutritional value and vitality almost as soon as they are picked from their plant.

Testing by Ronnie Ruiz, a researcher with Chanson Water USA (www.chansonwater.com), manufacturer of water ionizers, has changed all that. His results found that soaking produce in alkaline ionized water will revive the antioxidant properties of plant foods - in a similar way that electric shock can revive a heart patient.

Using a sophisticated antioxidant measuring tool called an ORP meter, Ruiz measured the oxidation reduction potential (ORP) of organic backyard tomatoes each hour after picking - and then again each hour after they had been soaking in electrolyzed alkaline ionized water.

Ruiz found that the electrical energy in alkaline ionized water donates its electrons right back into the produce - causing it to have measurably more negative ORP and antioxidants than before it had been placed in the ionized water. This is great news for anyone who wants to benefit from the healing power of living food.

Also, soaking fruits and vegetables in high alkaline water for approximately 10 minutes will remove any waxes or pesticides from non-organic produce - further protecting our health.

· The taste facts

An obvious issue in the consumption of bottled water is taste. In some areas, tap water simply isn’t drinkable, and in those situations bottled water is a useful resource. Other consumers simply prefer the taste of bottled water. Consumers have lots of preferences and some people want mineral water for taste. Everyone has their own reasons for buying products. And some people have a preference for bottled water. But perceptions about the taste of tap water and realities about the taste of tap water can be very different things. To test the hypothesis that tap water tastes at least as good as bottled water, has been conducting a series of taste tests at Ithaca College in the past year. In five blind taste tests over the last year, the tap water has won four times. The growth in advertising and consumption of bottled water has occurred frankly since the big soda companies bought up water. They would buy up the Dasanis, and they would buy up the Poland Springs, and you get into the huge marketing machines of the major soda industries, Coke and Pepsi, notably, and they take it to a whole different field.”

· Water and waste

Then there’s the waste stream. In roughly the last 10 years, the amount of polyethylene terephthalate plastic bottles being recycled increased from about 775 million pounds in 1995 to about 1,170 million in 2005, according to the Container Recycling Institute. But during the same time period, the amount of PET bottles going into landfills skyrocketed from 1,175 million to 3,900 million pounds. Water bottles are a big part of that problem because there are so many more of them, and because in many states, water bottles don’t have a redemption value like soda and beer bottles do.

· Hidden costs of water

Strictly speaking, tap water isn’t free — it costs about $0.00002 per ounce. But single-serve bottled water costs between 1,000 and 4,000 times more, according to the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Some cities, including San Francisco, Albuquerque, Minneapolis, and Seattle, have banned city purchase of single-serve bottled water because of waste impact from the bottles and because it’s viewed as an unnecessary cost to taxpayers.

· So then what?

How can you save money while actually drinking tasty water that you know for a fact is good for you and the environment? Well, luckily the answer is simple and can be summed up in three simple words, ionized alkaline water. Do you know what your current drinking water is doing to your health? Studies show that drinking purified or distilled water can lead to mineral deficiencies in your body…your tap water contains measurable particles of drugs and pharmaceuticals…and most waters are too acidic for your body’s pH! For optimal wellbeing you need alkaline water, a “living,” electrically-charged water that easily passes through your tissues and allows your body to absorb essential alkalizing minerals. Alkaline water, which is full of antioxidants, comes out of a ionizer, or, an alkaline water machine. An alkaline water machine is an easy-to-use device that attaches to your faucet. Your alkaline water ionizer will turn your unhealthy tap water into fully filtered, electrically-charged, great-tasting “living” alkaline water. This will save you money by purchasing this one-time-buy ionizer as opposed to buying hundreds of nutrition-less water bottles in your lifetime; most of which get dumped into our Earth as waste. So the answer truly is simple, save money, environment and your health by switching to alkaline water
