Avoid the Worst Stress!

What's the Worst?

You could say that the worst stress that we can suffer is oxidative stress.  This stress condition exists when our bodies produce more free radicals than our bodies can handle.  Free Radicals are stray electrons that bombard our normal cells causing damage to them.  This damage is called oxidation.  Oxidation is to our bodies what rust--oxidized metal--is to a piece of steel. It makes it ugly, compromises normal movement, and makes it weak.  

Our bodies avoid oxidation by taking in antioxidants that neutralize the damaging free radicals.  Vitamins are antioxidants but even multivitamins only contain a few.  Fruits and vegetables contain many antioxidants--that's why we hear so much today about including antioxidants in our food intake.

Alkaline water is the most potent, efficient source of antioxidants that can be added to your diet.  Including alkaline water in your intake is an important tool in controlling aging, smoking, cells damaged from exercise, poorly controlled diabetes, and autoimmune--inflammatory disorders.

At the Water for Life Store we can show you how to easily and economically add this important healthy living tool to your daily lifestyle. 

Why Should You Be Drinking Alkaline Water?

Alkaline Water Improves Health and Performance

Just what is alkaline water, anyway?  Widely used in Japan and Europe, this water is rapidly gaining acceptance in this country for the advantages it brings to healing and strengthening the immune system and improving human performance.  It’s just regular water that comes from your tap—but it has been processed either by electrolysis machines or by simple mineral filtration, allowing it to take on three important chemical and physical properties that make it more usable to your body.

 Alkaline water is…alkaline!  Our bodies fight to stay alkaline too.  Acid conditions are decidedly unhealthy and are generally found around cancers, infections, and areas of inflammation.  A Nobel-Price winning scientist,  Dr. Otto Warburg, stated in 1931 that “no disease, including cancer, can exist in an alkaline environment”.  His “Warburg Hypothesis is still valued in medical research today.

Alkaline water’s second characteristic is called microclustering.  In its natural state, water molecules tend to group together in large globules, which can slow their absorption by the body; that’s why you walk around “sloshing” in your stomach after drinking a big glass of water.   Microclustered , or hexagonal water, groups these molecules into smaller packages allowing the water to pass rapidly through membranes and be absorbed.  You don’t have a “water belly” after drinking even a large amount of alkaline water.

Finally, alkaline water is an antioxidant.  Antioxidants are important in preventing cancer, heart disease, inflammation, diabetic complications and other health problems.  Alkaline diets are popular, and include lots of green vegetables and fruits, but alkaline water is even more potent in increasing the health-promoting features of a healthy lifestyle.  Carbonated drinks, “sports drinks”, and most bottled water products are acidic and promote unhealthy conditions in our bodies.  Drinking alkaline water can eliminate and reverse these bad effects.
