Stay healthy and protected during rainy season

MANILA, Philippines -  Summer is almost over and with the onset of the rainy season, forget about  beach trips and bikinis  and get those umbrellas and raincoats ready.

In the Philippines where cases of dengue, respiratory infection and diarrhea  disease are prevalent during rainy seasons, it is  very important to protect ourselves and our families.

Dr. Djunee Jade Santos of Aqualipure said diarrhea outbreaks usually occur on flood prone areas due to unsafe water that we have and the manner we prepare our food.

“When floodwater gets into our sewage system, chances are we can easily get infected and fell ill by water borne diseases  if we are not careful enough”. Boiling  our drinking water is not even a guarantee that we are safe from these viruses and bacteria, Dr. Santos said.

Santos said one of the safest water to drink is alkaline water. A water ionizer from Japan called Izumi is becoming popular in the country because of its health features and it is very easy to install.  Izumi can turn an ordinary tap water instantly  into alkaline water.

Alkaline water is very beneficial to people’s health because it helps neutralize the chemical imbalances of the body. It is claimed to aid in the treatment of asthma, help hydrate better between cells, help heartburn, reduce indigestion and aid with many other ailments.

The Izumi Antioxidant Water Ionizer can produce acidic, neutral, and alkaline water to fulfill one’s water needs. It has an LCD screen and easy-to-follow interface to maximize the use of the machine.

First-time alkaline water drinkers should press alkaline level 1 for initial drinking, because it takes two to three weeks for the body to adjust from drinking acidic water to alkaline water. Then, gradually step into the next alkaline level after two weeks.

If one is taking maintenance drugs or vitamins, he should press the green button. Izumi will then produce neutral pH water so as not to interfere with the medicine’s curative properties. Moreover, the body easily absorbs ionized alkaline water together with its powerful antioxidants because of its reduced molecular size. Antioxidants can reverse the signs of aging and restore the normal function of organs and cells.

“Moreover, Izumi offers practical solutions to homemakers. Instead of buying a five-gallon alkaline water worth P40 to P50 every day, Izumi’s state-of-the-art cartridge set can produce 6,000 liters of alkaline water which means a lot of savings per family,” Dr. Santos said.

Common diseases like cold and flu can be easily prevented during the rainy season if only we become more conscious about our health. Simple things like washing our hands and cleaning our surroundings is also very important. On top of it all, maintain a healthy drinking habit and always remember the 8X8 rule: Eight glasses of eight ounce per day and make sure it is alkaline.Log on to www.aqualipure.com  or call/txt  09178967809; 2882231; 2883858 for more information.
