yes 50/gal din samin..doctor ang meari ng Alkaline water station dito samin.sa una lang iba ang panlasa mo pero pag nasanay ka na masasarapan ka na rin kasi super smooth niya sa lalamunan lalo na pag medyo malamig siya.
i think alkaline and ionized water are the same,
http://www.ionizers.org/water.html correct me if im wrong.
mas konti kasi ang acid content ng alkaline water compared sa purified water..and to the fact na mataas ang oxygen level ng alkaline kaya maganda ito sa blood cells natin to rejuvenate fast,and internal organs with positive effects sa whole body natin plus it flushes away toxins sa body..and btw,are body is consist of alkaline fluids..
quote from the net.
Many doctors, nutritionists, herbalists, dietitians and the like believe that the cause of diseases can be summed up in a few words, two words to be exact. pH imbalance. the measure of acidity of a solution is the most concise definition of what a pH is. The p in pH stands for Potenz a German word meaning “Power” however others argue that it stands for “Potential” one thing is for sure though that the H refers to hydrogen. pH therefore means “power of hydrogen”.
An unblanced pH leads the body to borrow the missing minerals from the body’s reserves. Such minerals are magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium which are stored and noramlly found in vital organs and bones. Alkaline body balance can be restored by proper diet and the aid of supplements that will encourage or replace lost minerals. Acidosis or acidity can affect a person in different ways, brittle bones, hormonal problems, osteoporosis, diabetese, obesity, yeast or fungal infections, low energy levels or sluggishness, slow digestions, joint pain and muscle pain are just some results of an imbalance.
Over acidity in the body has been known to cause a weakening of the body systems. the average healthy body has a typical alkaline level in the blood of about 7.35-7.45. This enables it to maintain enough alkaline reserves, when an imbalance occurs such is the case when there are excess acids in the system the human body will immediately try to restore the balance and in the process will end up losing stored alkaline leaving the body in a weakened state. Acid accumulation in the body is referred to by Doctor William Howard Hay as: autotoxication or ‘self poisoning”. Further studies and books released soon after Doctor Hay’s concedes with this concept of poisoning via over acidity in the body. A usual misconception however occurs in the pH to be measured; the acid level to be tested and checked is not that of the stomach but of body fluids and tissues which a different matter than that of stomach acids is entirely. The use of pH strips aids in testing the body’s alkalinity level. These strips are easy to use and easily available and tests can be done in the comfort of your home. when testing your pH, tests must be conducted one hour before a meal or two hours after. it is said that checking twice a week is the best method to take. The importance of testing one’s pH balance cannot be stressed enough as it will enable a person to determine if the body’s pH level needs immediate help or attention.
Remember that the body is only able to properly distribute needed minerals and nutrients if the pH level is balanced. One cannot stress how important alkaline body balance is, it is possible to be taking in so many nutrients only for it to go to waste because the unbalance body is not able to properly absorb it. Alkaline body balance is easily achieved with proper food consumption.What is Alkaline, Ionized Water?
And what is pH?
(For a more detailed explanation, Click here)
Ever Seen a Glacial Stream or an Iceberg?
It`s blue with minerals. It tastes totally different. It seems to enter the body lightly. It presents no resistance and you don`t `bloat` like you may do with tap water or even filtered water. And the minerals are there not just to offer you those elements your system lacks, but also to `hold` the real secret of glacial water; its antioxidant power. Strong, pure hydroxyl ions, actively seek out positively charged oxygen free radicals already wrecking havoc on our bodies at a cellular level.
This is naturally occurring ionized water. Now technology has delivered a `clean` answer to us in the form of alkaline, water ionizers. Water or H20 (Two Hydrogen atoms, one oxygen atom) is split into two separate streams of water - acidic waste water and drinkable alkaline water, rich in minerals.
OH- One atom of Oxygen and one atom of hydrogen negatively charged create the Hydroxyl ion. These are abundant in the prized alkaline water that we drink and love.
This `splitting` of the H20 Molecule happens in a sealed ionization chamber, under exact control of a dedicated microcomputer, to ensure the exact result time after time. As filtered tap water passes across 5 specially designed Titanium electrodes, it separates into the two components mentioned above.
We drink the alkaline ionized water and we apply the acid water. How simple and how wonderful!
So What's all this about "pH"?Fact:Almost all of us are negativelly affected by excess acidity.
Fact: This need not be. Help is at hand.
The pH scale ranges from 0 on the acidic side to 14 on the alkaline, and a solution is neutral if its pH is 7.
At pH 7, water contains equal concentrations of H+ and OH- ions. Substances with a pH less than 7 are acidic because they contain a higher concentration of H+ ions.
The pH scale is a logarithmic scale, so a change of one pH unit implies a tenfold shift in the concentration of hydrogen ions.
pH 6 means you are ten times more acid than pH 7.
pH 5 means you are a hundred times more acid than pH 7
The Importance of Balancing pH
Living things, including humans, are extremely sensitive to pH.
Blood plasma and other fluids that surround the cells in the body have a pH of 7.2 to 7.45.
A blood pH of 6.9 can induce coma and death. That is why all bodily systems are secondary in importance to the system of pH balancing. Your body will willingly shut down digestion, alter temperature, rob your bones of calcium, deprive your pancreas, just to maintain adequate fluid buffers of alkalinity to balance the `acid tide` we inflict upon ourselves through diet and stress etc.
However your body possesses numerous special mechanisms to aid in stabilizing these fluids so that cells will not be subject to appreciable fluctuations in pH.
Substances which serve as mechanisms to stabilize pH are called BUFFERS.
Buffers have the capacity to bond ions and remove them from solution whenever their concentration begins to rise. Conversely, buffers can release ions whenever their concentration begins to fall, thus helping to minimize the fluctuations in pH. This is an important function because many biochemical reactions normally occurring in living organisms either release or use up ions.
Imagine now what a load is taken off your body if its primary safety system of pH balancing can be `stood down` from a continual `full alert` because you now are alkalizing your body through reducing stress, eating healthier foods, avoiding harmful chemicals and drinking adequate amounts of clean, healthy water!
In order to hydrate your body optimally, you need to drink water that is alkaline and ionized. Alkaline water helps to neutralize stored acids and toxins. Once these acids are neutralized, they can then be removed by the body. Alkaline water containing ionic minerals also acts as a conductor of electrochemical activity from cell to cell. Reports from studies suggest that ionized, alkaline water can help the body resist disease and slow aging by:
-Increasing Intracellular Hydration
-Replenishing Essential Minerals
-Stabilizing and Protecting Cells
-Helping To Maintain Normal Blood Flow and Acid Alkaline Balance
-Flushing Out and Preventing Wastes from Accumulating in Cells
-Preventing Free Radicals from Forming and Damaging Other CellsAlkaline water PH level 7.1 to 8.5 http://ezinearticles.com/?Natural-Alkaline-Water-Has-A-PH-Level-Between-7.1-And-8.5&id=6138858Hope this helps..
