While doing research for content to use in my health column in the Not Ur Momma's News
http://www.noturmommasnews.com online publication, I came across a bit of information that I had never really considered...the truth behind bottled water and why it is an economic waste to purchase.
The American diet is full of acid from the sodas, beer, meat and yes…our water. The acidity of our food and water are catalyst to our state of ill health. The acidic body is an idea environment for diseases to survive. The body being the type of machine that it is will make an attempt to restore itself to its alkaline state by removing calcium and magnesium which are vital minerals for bone and heart health. Acidic waste will be turned into a solid and stored in the fatty tissues which can lead to hardening of the arteries and weight gain. Other problems that can manifest due to an acidic environment in the body are gout and inflammation of your joints. More recent data has reported that over time if the body remains in an acidic state it can cause some forms of cancer.
Bottled water has had most if not all of the essential alkalizing minerals removed. Bottled water is not guaranteed to be any healthier than tap water. In fact, roughly 40 percent of bottled water begins as tap water; often the only difference being the addition of minerals Statistics from the Beverage Marketing Corporation reported that 8.8 billion gallons of bottled water was consumed in the United States in 2007, a 6.9 percent increased over the 2006 numbers. This translates to over 29 gallons of bottled water per person making bottled water only second to carbonated soft drinks, costing close to 12,000 million dollars annually. Preliminary statics have this figure projected to be 9,418 costing $12,573. We are spending more per gallon of water than we are currently for gasoline.
Ionized water is used in the hospital and clinics of Korea and Japan, as well is recognized by their government as a health treatment.
So what are the benefits of ionized water:
Ø Ionized water increases your bodies' fat burning capabilities.
Ø Ionized water is up to six times more hydrating than normal water.
Ø Ionized water gives you more energy.
Ø Ionized water improves mental clarity and concentration.
Ø Ionized water delivers more oxygen to your cell
Ø Ionized water increases general well being.
Ø Ionized water is a powerful antioxidant that removes toxins from your body.
When your time permits, if you are currently buying bottled water, estimate what you spend monthly on the purchase of the water and compare it to the monthly cost of purchasing an ionizer which will provide healthy water for you and your family. After the initial purchase cost of a water ionizer, the only expense is the replacement filter which for some machines changing is only required once a year.
If providing your family with something that is truly healthy, ionized vs. bottled, there is really no comparison.
There are several things to consider when you are in the market for a machine and I will be happy to do a free consultation with you to discuss any questions you might have. Just email me at info@mypearlsofhealth.com
All water is not created equal...consider your change today.
