There Are So Many Choices--Why Choose Alkaline Ionized Water?

There are so many places you could get your water from and ways you can filter it, so why do you need alkaline water?  Why not tap water, bottled water, or even reverse osmosis?  Water is know to be healing in many parts of the world.  Some people have even referred to it as magic.  I want to go over some various means to get your water and what this really entails for you as a consumer.

First, let's check out tap water.  Here in the United States we have drinkable water.  Generally speaking it does not have bacteria or viruses in it.  A lot of third world countries are not so fortunate.  So, why not drink this water?  The truth is that there are a lot of different chemicals that are put into our water supplies.  Some of them including fluoride, chloramine (a mixture of chlorine and ammonia), etc.  These chemicals are harmful to the human body, not to mention the long list of pharmaceuticals and other toxic substances.

So, then the next choice after tap water would be bottled water right?  Well there has been many tests and studies done on bottled water.  Some bottled water companies take tap water and lightly filter it and then turn around and sell it!  Not only do you not know the quality of filtration of bottled water, but there is also copious amounts of plastic waste that is not being properly recycled from these bottles.

What about reverse osmosis?  Well, there is a time and a place for reverse osmosis to be used.  With reverse osmosis all of the minerals out of the water.  This makes the water acidic actually.   When you do use reverse osmosis, I would suggest at least remineralizing it.  If you drink water that is void of minerals, the water will pull minerals from your body.

Last but not least, there is alkaline ionized water.  This is probably the best choice of all where water is concerned.  First of all, it is alkaline.  The body needs to be slightly alkaline to be heathy, and alkaline water helps to restore the pH balance in the body.  It also helps to rid the body of its acidic wastes.  Not only is alkaline ionized water high in pH, but it also has antioxidants.  Antioxidants help to fight against free radicals in the body that would harm your cells.  Also, buying an alkaline water ionizer is actually less expensive in the long run than continually buying bottled water.
