What you don’t know about your water can hurt you

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - You have read the labels: Distilled, purified, mineralized, ionized, alkaline, etc. — they are everywhere. Truth of the matter is, not all drinking water is created equal and safe.

Again, safe does not mean your water is 100 percent devoid of other “unseen” organisms or bacteria that may be detrimental to your health and well-being. Even safety and cleanliness have their differentiating levels.

It is not a simple case of having potable drinking water around the house to satiate one’s thirst.  Rather, it’s the peace of mind, the assurance of knowing that your whole family is not going to get diarrhea, loose bowel movement, amoebiasis or salmonella from contaminated water or worse, cancer due to the chlorinated water you all drink daily.

There is the other matter of toxins that is the leading cause of aging. They are often a result of poor diet, pollution, and stress. Toxins can build up in your body, causing cell damage that leads to premature aging.

Years ago, there was a growing interest in “alkaline” — alkaline water to be specific. “Disease cannot live in an alkaline body,” said Dr. Otto Warberg. “No disease, including cancer, can exist in an alkaline environment,” added the 1931 Nobel Prize winner on his cancer discovery. 

But do you know what alkaline really is and why it’s becoming a phenomenon? Studies have shown that the best way to fight toxins and counter the damaging effects of food infused with pesticides, additives, preservatives and artificial flavors and detoxify the body is to take food, vegetables and fruits that contain alkaline.

If you cannot eat any regularly, then you need to drink lots of alkaline water. Drinking alkaline water daily can neutralize the acidity and wash away acid waste products from the body’s cells and tissues. 

There are at least five major health benefits of drinking alkaline water:

• Detoxifies: Alkaline water helps detoxify the body and remove normal acidic waste products accumulated daily, plus remove toxins accumulated inside due to the environment, prescription drugs and unnatural food intake and from the so-called “normal” process of aging. Collected acid wastes from the body can lead to more serious health ailments or deficiencies. Drinking Izumi alkaline water daily can neutralize the body’s acidity and wash out other acid waste products from the body’s cells and tissues.

• Hydrates: Just the opposite of dehydrate, alkaline water helps to actively hydrate, replenish lost nutrients the body needs to help it maintain or regain optimum health. During ionization, the Izumi machine’s alkaline water ionizer forms water into micro-clusters that are more easily absorbed at the cellular levels, thus “super hydrating” the body.

• Oxygenates, antioxidant-rich: Alkaline water produced by Izumi is rich in antioxidants, scavenging for and neutralizing harmful free radicals. Because alkaline water has the unique ability to give up electrons, it can effectively neutralize and block free-radical damage to the body. Ionized alkaline water contains a great amount of oxygen, which the body needs and uses to produce energy and tissue oxygenation.

• Brings back body’s original pH level: Alkaline water helps balance the body’s pH, which tends to be acidic because of high acid food diet, stress and exposure to environmental toxins such as smog. Normalize your body pH level from acidic to alkaline.

• Enhances the immune system: More than enhance, alkaline water fortifies the immune system to maximize the body’s ability to fend off disease and naturally, quickly heal itself.

Izumi is a globally trusted brand and is the leading seller of alkaline machines.
