Alkaline Water and Water Ionization
These are some specific questions about Alkaline Water and Jupiter Water Ionizers.
It has the following measurable properties:
- Purified (0.1 M, or 0.01M biostone filter)
- Excess Oxygen in the stable OH- form
- Colloidal Alkaline Minerals
- Micro-Clusters
- Low ORP - high anti-oxidant activity
It connects to the cold water tap on your sink. A simple adapter comes with the unit, which lets you use the tap as normal, or divert the water into the water ionizer.
It's easy to connect, takes a few minutes providing that you have a tap with an aerator attached.
That is, you need a tap that has a plastic or metal bit at the end of it, that can be screwed off (most modern taps have it).
If your tap doesen't have one, then you'll need to change the tap. This would be the simplest things to do. Alternatly, you could plumb the unit in separatly.
The unit also needs to be plugged into an A/C socket. See the Videos section for a visual presentation.
Sorry, no, the ionizer doesn't cool the water.
You can fill up a glass jug or several bottles and leave them in the fridge.
My kids love the water, by the way, and Alkaline water is a great way of getting kids into the water habit.
1. We are 70% water. Our bodies need lots of water, which needs to be pure from toxins/chemicals/hormones and other substances, but it should contain minerals like calcium/magnesium and have other properties that good living mineral spring water has.
We lose around 1.5 to 2.5 litres of water from urine, sweat and breath and we need to replace this water on a daily basis, along wth the minerals that are lost. These minerals are very difficlut to replace from food, as we are designed to absorb minerals in colloidal form as exist in alkaline mineral spring waters.
Reverse osmosis or distilled water is no good, it is as Sang Whang, author of Reverse Aging, describes as an 'Overkill'. Reverse osmosis and distilled waters do not contain any minerals and other properties that living water should have.
It will result in a net loss of minerals if you drink too much.
2. Filtered water (a simple britta filter for example) is fine, and people like the author Daniel Reid say that it's far better for you then bottled water.
3. Alkaline water is better as it filters as well as ionizes the water. The alkaline water produced is
pure, super charged with -OH ions.
This is an ionic, stable, bias form of oxygen, and it is this that maks the water alkaline. This oxygen is able to travel to the cells where it is required, where it combines with another OH- molecule to give Oxygen and an Alkaline mineral to the cell.
4. The ionizer would also provide minerals in the all important ionic or colloidal form.
5. Ionized microwater will hydrate cells in your body far better then ordinary tap water; the water will reach cells that typical tap water can nott reach. This is because of its micro-clustering, which many experts believe could be a major reason that so many health benefits are observed in human, animals and plants alike from drinking ionized water.
A water molecules (H2O) has an electrical imbalance because the oxygen molecule has a greater negative charge. As a result it attracts other substances. This is why water is called the 'Universsal Solvent' because so many things disolves in water.
Water molecules also gets attached to other water molecules to form clusters of water molecules due to weak van-der-waals forces between the water molecules.
Typically, stagnant water, and dead tap water has clusters of around 13/14 water molecules.
A problem with this clustering is that as the cluster size is large, it doesn't get into all the cells all that easily, and is not particulalry palatable either.
Electrolisis is observed to charge the water, which then change these 'clusters' into smaller ones, around 6 water molecules. These are the typical hexagonal clusters found in living, natural mineral spring waters. Dr Emoto has taken extensive photographs of these clusters by feezing them.
This clustering is a dynamic process, a sort of a dance of the water molecules. When measured with NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), they can be shown to have predominantly hexagonal clusters after the water is passed through a mild electrolysis chamber, and around double the size in stagnant waters.
This micro-clustering makes the water more effective in hydrating the body. Also you can drink more of it, as it seems to just disappear in your body and does not bloat the tummy.
With ordinary tap water, for most people it is difficult drink a couple of glasses; you feel full, bloated. Micro-clustering makes the water lighter, much easier to drink and absorb by the cells of your body.
