Water Ionizers Make Great Christmas Gifts

So you're wondering what to buy a loved one for Christmas. Maybe they have everything they need, or you want to help in improving their health. Whatever the reason, a water ionizer is a great gift that won't be outdone by anyone else's present.

The Amazing Power of Antioxidants

Antioxidants are so important for everyone's health that investing in a water ionizer for a loved one will show how much you care. The current diet of American's and a lot of other citizens in different countries is NOT what it used to be. Processed foods, preservatives, GMOs, MSG, hydrogenated oils, fast food, soft drinks and the list goes on, has wreaked havoc on our bodies. This has led to most people's bodies being very acidic. The water provided by a water ionizer is rich in antioxidants and is the best, most healthful source of them. These antioxidants help rid the body of free radicals, which if left unchecked put lots of stress on your cells.

Helping a loved one, such as your parents, children, grandparents, grandchildren, etc, with their health, would be the best, most thoughtful gift you could possibly give.

Do Any of Your Family Suffer From Any Disease or Ailment?

Do any of your loved ones suffer from cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes (Type 1 and 2), arthritis, dementia, to name a few? They can literally all benefit by alkalizing their bodies and improve their conditions by neutralizing free radicals in their bodies. There is no promise that ionized water will completely handle their conditions but it will certainly help. I have written many articles on how a water ionizer helps give us the balance that our bodies need, such as on these topics: Diabetes and Dementia and Acid Reflux. There are a tremendous number of benefits of alkaline ionized water.

Water Ionizers as Gifts

We offer such a wide variety of the highest quality water ionizers ranging from less than $1000 to well over $3000. We offer affordable payment plans along with refurbished water ionizers, too, that make giving this gift possible. We also are currently offering reduced prices on some of our ionizers through the end of the year. 

Please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions with giving the gift of alkaline ionized water. I would be more than happy to help.

5 Crazy Facts About Water That are Actually True

Water is an amazing substance on Earth. Did you know that water should be a gas at room temperature, but, as you will find out later in this post, it's a liquid. And, you'll be surprised to find out just how little water is available for drinking.

Read on for 5 amazing facts about water that really are true!

1. Ice actually weighs less than water. 

I know, I know. That's kind of weird. You would think it would be heavier, but ice floats on water, meaning it's lighter than water, otherwise it would sink. 

The molecules in liquid water are more densely packed than when frozen. When the water freezes, they freeze in a hexagonal crystal form and even though they are bonded together, they are actually spread farther apart and so aren't packed as densely as when they are in a liquid state. 

2. Our drinking water comes from 1/10,000 of a percent of all Earth's water. 

I can barely fathom this! So, in other words, only a millionth of the world's water is used for drinking water. 

Most of the fresh water we drink comes from rivers, which accounts for the 1/10,000 of a percent. 96% of the water on Earth is saltwater, which we don't drink. And most of the freshwater is frozen in glaciers and ice caps. In fact, there is more fresh water under the Earth's surface than there is on the surface of our great planet. 

And, in addition to that, most of the 1/1,000,000 of water we are able to use for drinking water is polluted with man-made chemicals. All the more reason to invest in a water ionizer. 

3. Water should be a gas at room temperature.

Water molecules are sticky, they stick to everything, including themselves. Other molecules that are similar to water, such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, are gasses. But water’s unique stickiness holds water molecules together enough for water to remain a liquid at room temperature. Water’s stickiness can cause problems: It can make it hard to do your laundry, and it can make it hard for your body to absorb.

The stickiness of water molecules is affected by substances dissolved in it. Some substances. such as the mineral bicarbonates in tap water, make water act stickier. That’s why you have to use more soap when doing laundry with hard water. Water ionizers convert those hard-to-absorb mineral carbonates into mineral hydroxides. Those mineral hydroxides actually reduce water’s stickiness, which makes it easier to absorb. That’s why alkaline water hydrates you better and faster than plain water.

4. There are only 7 springs in the world where you can find naturally occurring alkaline ionized water.

You read that right - there are only seven (7) springs on Earth where you can find natural ionized alkaline water! They are highly cherished for the health restoring properties they possess. People spend large amounts of money on the water from these springs that you can have right in your own home! 

Three of these renowned springs are in Nordenau, Germany; Zam Zam Saudi Arabia and Hita Tenryosui in Japan.

5. There is a reason why your fingers and toes get wrinkly when they're in water for any extended period of time.

After you’ve soaked in the tub for a while, your fingers and toes get wrinkly, but the rest of your skin remains smooth. The reason? The epidermis – outermost layer of skin – is thickest on the bottom of your feet and hands. As you soak, the epidermis absorbs water, which causes it to expand. The skin underneath is already wet, so it doesn’t absorb much, if any water, so it doesn’t expand with the epidermis. To compensate for its expanded surface area, the epidermis wrinkles. The epidermis on other parts of your body is simply too thin to get that wrinkling effect.

You also absorb any chemicals that happen to be present in that water into your skin, especially chlorine. This is why at a minimum, you should install a shower filter on your shower. Even better is whole home filtration, because that keeps the chemicals out of your home’s water supply.

And there you have it - 5 crazy, amazing facts you may or may not have known about water. Which ones did you know? Which ones did you learn something from? Share below in the comments! 

Why do the Kangen Water Ionizers Cost so Much?

If you've done any research on water ionizers you've probably noticed that you can get a top-notch, high-quality machine for anywhere from $1000 to $3000. But when you look at getting a Kangen ionizer you're looking at spending a cool $4000. Why is that? Is their technology and product that much better? Let's take a look.

For the basic Kangen, again, you're looking at $4000. This is for a 7-plate water ionizer. The reason it's so much more expensive than, say, the Nexus Smart 7P Water Ionizer, which is priced at $1495.00,  is because it's a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) company. Any product you buy from a company like this, such as Mary Kay or Scentsy, you are going to pay at least double for the product.

Why do MLM Products Cost So Much More?

With an MLM company not only does the person you are directly buying from earn a commission, but so do the people above them. That's the allure of signing up as a distributor for one of these companies - you sign people up below you and you earn a percentage off of what they sell. This can then lead to a residual income so many of us desire as we get closer and closer to retirement. And some people do really well at this type of business. However, if you're looking for the best product at the best price, I highly recommend cutting out the middle men and purchasing directly from the company, or if that isn't possible, from a company that buys directly from the manufacturer.

With the Kangen company, there are a total of eight, yes, 8 people, who get paid each time a Kangen machine gets sold. In order to make enough to pay all of these distributors and make enough profit, their prices have to be higher.

The reason given for a higher price is the larger plates in the water ionizer and therefore more platinum needed. However, as talked about in great detail in this blog article, that is most definitely not always a guarantee of better.

For example, with the Jupiter Athena water ionizer you are getting a product that is above and beyond the comparable Kangen ionizer, the SD501. I have a demo of both machines here in this video demonstration I produced.

The Jupiter Athena water ionizer is a better product and much more affordable, coming in at a whopping $1500 less than the Enagic Kangen SD501.

With all this said, I highly recommend doing all the research you want on water ionizers. I have a plethora of information, articles, research, videos, etc available on my website and my YouTube page. I am not biased to one machine or one company and only want to provide accurate information on the best water ionizers out there. I have spent a lot of time collecting data, analyzing ionizers, comparing them and also looking at the integrity of each company and I hope you take the time to get enlightened on this vast subject. Please let me know if you have any questions; I am more than happy to answer them.

Staying Hydrated in Cold Weather

It may seem like you don’t need as much water in the winter as you do in the summer - you’re cold and definitely not sweating; you maybe aren’t exercising as much or spending as much time outside. But, did you know you can get just as dehydrated, if not more, in the winter?

When your body is cold it has certain mechanisms to help keep it warm and regulate its temperature. It constricts blood vessels, which raises blood pressure. This in turn causes the kidneys to produce more urine so there is slightly less blood volume and less pressure in the veins and arteries. This loss of fluids contributes to dehydration. Also, when you see your breath outside that is steam coming from your mouth. Your body is losing moisture through breathing and this also aids in dehydration if you aren’t replacing this moisture with enough quality fluids throughout the day. Another way you may be losing water, which sometimes goes unnoticed is when it’s very dry outside. If you do happen to sweat it evaporates very quickly, so you may not even realize you are perspiring at all.

The Most Important Reason to Stay Hydrated

The number one reason to stay hydrated during the cold months: cold and flu season. With a body that is well hydrated it can easily move toxins, bacteria and viruses through the body. It will keep the digestive tract healthy and able to move waste products through the body efficiently. It will also keep the kidneys functioning well so they can play their part in moving waste through the body. When you’re hydrated your body is also better able to absorb the nutrition from your food, which only helps in fighting off illnesses.

With alkaline ionized water you are better hydrated with the smaller clusters of molecules making up the water. Your cells can more easily absorb the water and keep the cells pure and functioning properly. Also, when the acidic waste builds up in your body, the alkaline ionized water flushes them out, all while keeping your body alkaline.

Tips for Staying Hydrated Through the Winter

When consuming diuretics (foods, liquids, medication) that pull water out of your body, such as caffeine, alcohol and some medications, I can’t stress enough that you need to balance these with an equal or greater amount of water. And try to steer clear from consuming too much caffeine and alcohol.

Eat plenty of fresh fruits and veggies! They generally have a good amount of water and this water content counts, too, towards the amount of water you should consume daily.

Try to cut back on sodium-laden foods. Processed foods and foods from most restaurants are overly salted and can dehydrate you.

Drink plenty of water before, during and after exercising! Even if you don’t feel sweaty! This will help keep your body hydrated, cut down on muscle cramps, as well as fatigue.

And remember, drink enough water to keep your urine relatively clear, with just a slight yellow hue to it. For most people this is around 8 glasses a day. However, I strongly urge you to drink half your weight in fluid ounces of water. A 200-pound person should therefore drink 100 ounces of water each day. This can be adjusted based on activity level, if you’re currently experiencing vomiting or diarrhea (which dehydrate you), have been sick recently, etc. But taking a peek after you use the bathroom is a good way to tell whether you’re getting enough water.

Here are some more pertinent articles I have written over the years that cover this subject from different angles. Check them out to get further enlightened on this subject:

How to Tell if You’re Dehydrated

We all reach for something to drink when we are feeling thirsty, but did you know that by the time you’re thirsty you are already dehydrated? I will go over with you today how you can tell if you’re dehydrated and how you can remedy the situation most effectively.

Signs of Dehydration

Here are some common signs of being mildly dehydrated:

      1.      Dry, sticky mouth 

      2.      Dry skin

      3.      Headache

      4.      Constipation

      5.      Thirst

      6.      Decreased urine output

      7.      Tiredness

      8.      Dizziness/lightheaded

Here are some more serious signs of being dehydrated:

      1.      Extreme thirst

      2.      Excessively dry mouth and mucus membranes

      3.      Fever

      4.      Rapid breathing

      5.      Low blood pressure

      6.      Sunken eyes

      7.      Little to no urine output. Urine that is passed is very dark.

      8.      Delirium and unconsciousness

Children, the elderly, very active individuals and those who live in high altitudes are more susceptible to suffering from dehydration.

Did you know you can go 3 weeks without food, but only 3 days without water? That’s true! Water is essential to all life. Reaching for coffee, tea, soda or fruit juice is no replacement for water. In fact, coffee, tea (with caffeine) and soda actually cause dehydration. The caffeine is a natural diuretic and pulls water out of your cells. And most fruit juices contain very little fruit and excess amounts of sugars. These, too, can contribute to dehydration.

Avoid the Effects of Dehydration

By drinking plenty of water you will replenish the water that you expel from your body by sweating, urinating and breathing. You also lose large amounts of water when vomiting, suffering from diarrhea, excessive sweating and when you have a fever.  

One good sign that you are getting enough water is the color of your urine. If your urine is dark in color or bright yellow, drink more water. If it is pale yellow or nearly clear, you are probably getting enough water.

Drinking alkaline ionized water is the best way to stay hydrated. When your water comes out of the tap it comes out in clusters of 11-16 H2O molecules. When the water is put through your water ionizer it comes out in clusters of 5-8 water molecules. This makes it easier for your cells to absorb the water leading to better hydration. Read more about that in my article about ionized water. 

In another article I wrote about the importance of water, I pointed out that water makes up most of the organs and fluids of the body. Here are the percentages of water make-up in each area:

Bones 22%

Muscles 75%

Tissues 75%

Blood 92%

Brain 75%

The kind of water and the quality of that water affects your entire body and how it operates. If you are depleted of the amount of water each system needs in order to do its job properly, you will deal with a myriad of negative results, such as the ones listed above.

I cannot stress how important it is to drink plenty of alkaline ionized water. Most people don’t even realize they are dehydrated and, according to doctors, 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. With the popularity of cokes and coffees skyrocketing, not nearly enough of us are getting an adequate supply of water.

I urge you to visit my website, Alkaline Water Plus, and further educate yourself on the power of water and especially the power of alkaline ionized water. I have spent years compiling information, writing articles, doing research and comparisons to help enlighten others on this subject. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, either below, via phone or email. 

What is Really in Your Tap Water?

This blog is coming to you from St. Louis, Missouri. We have pretty decent tap water, which is actually why the Busch beer brewery is located in downtown St. Louis. However, let’s take a look at some common things found in most tap water.

Lead

Approximately 98% of all household pipes have lead in them. This lead leaches into the water and is consumed. Lead is toxic to the body and excess lead is stored in the brain. Long-term exposure to lead in children leads to significant brain damage as well as development damage.

Chloramine

Chloramine is a disinfectant and is said to be a safe chemical. But there is a warning that it should not be used in fish tanks as it kills them and shouldn’t be used on animals.

Asbestos

Asbestos is a carcinogen and can be found naturally or in asbestos-lined pipes. It is so small that most water treatment centers don’t filter it out.

Chlorine

Chlorine was first used in tap water to kill water-borne diseases such as cholera. But, chlorine is also found to be unhealthy for humans. It also mixes with organic material such as bark and produces carcinogens.

Fluoride

This chemical was originally used to help cut down on tooth decay. Over time it was found that children exposed to tap water were developing fluorosis. This condition causes white streaking and spots on teeth and in some extreme cases it even causes cracking of the teeth. According to the National Research Council “it is apparent that fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain.” And in literature commissioned by the EPA, fluoride has been listed among 100 chemicals for which there is “substantial evidence of developmental neurotoxicity.”

This is why I am so passionate about educating everyone about the benefits of a water ionizer. Not only do they ionize the water and make it alkaline, but they can also filter out these toxic substances.

Testing the pH of Bottled Water

I am not completely against bottled water – it serves a purpose at times. But bottled water isn’t nearly as good for you as their big marketing firms would have you believe. I have talked about the environmental impact water bottles have here, but today we are going to talk about the pH levels of 20 different brands of bottled water.  

Bottled Water

Of the 20 brands, a whopping 13 of them were too acidic for healthy, every day consumption. Here’s how they broke down:

Wal-Mart distilled water – 5

Wal-Mart drinking water – 4.5

Wal-Mart spring water – 7

Gerber Pure water – 6.5

Nestle Pure Life – 6.5

Ice Mountain – 6

Smart Water – 6

Aquafina – 5

Evian – 7

Essentia – 9

Function Water – 6.5

Super Chill 7.5

Absopure – 7.5

Fiji – 7

Evamore – 8

Penta – 4

Poland Spring Water – 5.8

Dasani – 4.5

Voss – 6

Eternal – 7

Here is the video I made showing the testing each of these brands of water.

Reasons I Avoid Bottled Water

 1.      The petroleum-based bottles have been shown to leach chemicals into the water.                            

 2.      So few bottles of water are recycled and billions end up in the landfill annually.                             

 3.  It has been estimated that it takes the equivalent of 17 million barrels of oil to manufacture the bottles used annually, which doesn’t include transportation to distribute the bottles. It also takes 3 times the water than it does for each bottle. So a 20 ounce bottle of water requires 60 ounces of water to produce, which includes the water it takes to fill the bottle.

I highly recommend getting an electric water ionizer or minimally the WellBlue water pitcher. Both will give you alkaline water that is very healthy for you and your family. 

Body Odor

It’s been hot. Really hot. And like most people I’m sure you’ve noticed the occasional spell of body odor. But, there are many people who deal with excessive body odor on a routine basis. We are going to go over how you can reduce, if not eliminate, your excess body odor naturally.

Sweating

Sweating is a completely normal bodily function. It is actually how your body cools itself down. However, sometimes a bad odor comes along with the sweating. A strong odor is usually caused by a pH imbalance in the body.

How We Sweat

There are two types of sweat glands. The first is located in areas where there are hair follicles, such as the groin area, the underarms and the scalp. The other kind of sweat gland is located over most of your body’s surface and is what cools your body down. When these latter sweat glands release the salty sweat onto the surface of the skin, the sweat evaporates, cooling you down. The first sweat gland mentioned secretes the substance via the hair follicle. It is naturally odorless, but the bacteria on the skin break down this fluid, thus creating a foul odor.

What Affects the Production of Body Odor?

There are many different factors involved with the smell of your body odor. These include genetics, your diet, where you are in your menstrual cycle (for women), your emotional condition, your health and whether you have an illness, etc.

But one of the biggest contributors to an excessively foul odor is the pH of your body. Sweat is also a function of ridding the body of toxins. When you are too acidic the body attempts to balance your pH by sweating out the acidic waste. If your body was at the optimum level of alkalinity you wouldn’t deal with body odor as much, if at all.

How to Make Your Body More Alkaline

To naturally handle your body odor, instead of masking it with harmful antiperspirants and perfumes, I strongly suggest starting from the inside out. Start eating more alkaline foods, and cutting out acidic ones. And of course get yourself and your family an electronic water ionizer. Start drinking ½ your weight in fluid ounces of quality alkaline ionized water. While you’re waiting for the long-term effects of handling your body odor, you can apply apple cider vinegar to your underarms to kill any bacteria. Or you could apply a thin layer of a baking soda/water paste. Baking soda is great at neutralizing odors and alkalizing.

Here is another more in-depth article on making your body more alkaline: 

https://alkalinewaterplus.com/blog/many-ways-to-alkalize-your-body-and-why/

Also, watch this video where I personally demonstrate testing your body's pH level. I recommend checking your pH level while you work on making yourself more alkaline. 

I hope this has been informative! Let me know if you have any questions.  

Reverse-Osmosis Water, Distilled Water and Your Health

Often when you hear someone mention reverse-osmosis (RO) or distilled water you think it’s better than other kinds of water, especially tap water. But, I wanted to talk to you today and give you some information on why RO and distilled water are not better and can actually be harmful to you.

What Exactly is Reverse-Osmosis Water?

Reverse-osmosis water is water that has been forced through a membrane which eliminates 90-99% of all contaminants and minerals. Now the eliminated minerals is the real problem. Sure, contaminants are not welcome in our drinking water, but the alkaline minerals are very beneficial to our bodies.

How Does Reverse-Osmosis Negatively Affect Our Bodies?

There was a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the latter part of the 1970s that showed continual consumption of RO water actually has a negative effect on the body.

It was found while testing on animals, mostly rats, that the consumption of this kind of water led to several different negative occurrences: increased water intake, increased or excessive production of urine, extracellular fluid content and lowered red blood cell counts. These same effects were confirmed in people who volunteered to participate in the study.

Other more recent studies suggest that the intake of water low in minerals, may be associated with higher risk of fracture in children (Verd Vallespir et al. 1992), certain neurodegenerative diseases (Jacqmin et al. 1994), pre-term birth and low weight at birth (Yang et al. 2002), some types of cancer (Yang et al. 1997; Yang et al. 1998, Yang et al. 1999a; Yang et al. 1999b; Yang et al. 1999c; Yang et al. 2000), an increased risk of sudden death (Eisenberg 1992; Bernardi et al. 1995; Garzon and Eisenberg 1998), a higher risk of motor neuronal disease (Iwami et al. 1994), and preeclampsia (Melles & Kiss 1992).

You can find another article I wrote on this subject here.

Cooking with Mineral-Depleted Water

It has been found that cooking with soft water (water low in minerals) leads to the loss of all essential elements from the food, but, in contrast, when cooking with hard water, there is very little to no loss of these same essential elements.

The Best Water to Choose

I highly recommend purchasing an electronic water ionizer, which will give you alkaline mineral-enriched water that is very beneficial to you.  

Cancer and Alkaline Ionized Water

“When cancer patients come into my office … their bodies are almost always very acidic and toxic. My first task is to get their tissues to alkalinize with alkaline water and alkaline foods.” — Dr. Don Colbert, M.D., author, The Seven Pillars of Health

Body pH and Disease

Most diseases, bacteria and viruses cannot sustain life in a well-oxygenated environment. These pathogens die off when the environment they are in reach a pH of 7.6. When your body becomes too acidic, these pathogens can start growing.

An acidic body starts killing its own healthy cells, has a weakened immune system and cannot fight off disease as well as a more alkaline body.

A medical doctor by the name of Dr. Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1931 for his tremendous discoveries in Medicine. He discovered that cancer cells are not fueled by oxygen as normal cells are. The high levels of oxygen that are found in healthy, alkaline bodies are toxic to cancers. He found that cancers get their energy from sugars and a process of fermentation in acidic environments. He proved empirically the relationship between cancers, acidic body pH, and cellular oxygen starvation. His findings demonstrated that cancers are merely a symptom of acidosis, and therefore it is impossible to truly cure any cancer without first curing the underlying acidosis.

Creating an Alkaline Body

Drinking alkaline ionized water contributes in three ways to creating a more alkaline body.

1) The antioxidant property of the water helps get rid of free radicals in the body that destroy healthy tissue and cells.

2) The micro-clustered water molecules of the alkaline water are far easier for your body to absorb, which helps flush out toxins from your body that lead to an acidic environment.

3) Alkaline water helps balance the pH of the body, making it more alkaline and less acidic. It has an abundance of ionic alkaline minerals and these are more available for your body to use in making it more alkaline.

In this article here I have more research done on this topic, along with quotes from reputable sources, so I highly suggest taking a look at that as well. Doctors/Experts

And I, of course, highly recommend you invest in an electric water ionizer for your continued health and the continued health of your family.
