Health

This site is more than just about water. It is also about your health. Your body is over 70 percent water. Did you ever consider how the quality of the water you drink impacts your health?

• Have you heard the acronym ORP, and do you know why it is important for good healthy water?

Answers. ORP stands for Oxidation-Reduction Potential. In practical terms, it is a measure of oxidation of contaminants. If the ORP test result is a positive number, it means the water is rusty, spoiled, decomposing, and aging. If the ORP test result is a negative number, it means the water is free of rust, fresh, and anti-aging.

Almost all tap and bottled waters have positive ORPs. Positive ORPs have been linked to poor health. The higher the ORP number, the more unhealthy the body. Ionized water, like the water found in the Hunza Valley where the inhabitants have lived to be 100 to 120 years, have negative ORP numbers.

• Do you know how the pH of water can affect your health? Or how acidic water can lead to acidosis and poor health?

Answers. pH is a measure the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. Water with a pH of 7 is considered neutral. Water with a lower pH is acidic, and the water with a higher pH is alkaline.



Excess acidity, or acidosis, is condition that weakens the body and leads to problems with major organs. It is a cause of weight gain and diabetes. It accelerates free radical damage and premature aging. It slows the delivery of oxygen into the cell.

Avoiding acidic beverages—including acidic tap and bottled waters—and drinking alkaline water leads to a healthier body.

Medical Conditions

Excess acids contribute to a variety of medical conditions, including:

• Atopic Dermatitis
• Constipation
• Diabetes
• Dry Skin and Hair
• High Blood Pressure
• Indigestion
• Obesity
• Osteoporosis
• Tension Headache

Maintaining a pH balance allows normal body function necessary to resist disease. Although we will maintain sufficient alkaline reserves if we have a healthy body, our society is faced with too many excess acids. When excess acids must be contiually neutralized, our alkaline reserves are depleted, leaving the body in a weakened, disease-prone state.

Weight Loss

This site also presents new ideas on weight loss. Excess weight is the result of too much acid in the diet. The sheer volume of acid waste our body has to handle has become overwhelming. When our bodies are faced with a shortage of options due to excess acidity, they dump toxic wastes in fatty deposits as far away from the organs and heart as possible. On the buttocks, the chest, the thighs, and the belly.

Diet with Water

To lose weight, what matters most is keeping your body alkaline. Weight loss and the regaining of energy occur more easily when we take the first steps toward the alkaline "re-balance."

Getting to and keeping your ideal weight requires eating plenty of high-quality, healthful foods and focusing your choices around green vegetables.

However, the biggest secret of all is actually in what you drink. Keeping you body sufficiently hydrated with the right water—an alkaline water—makes all the difference.
