Why drinking ionized water is good for both you and the environment

The quality of tap water flowing into our homes may be quite high. However, did you know that it could contain some unwanted particles? Tap water is treated using chlorine to kill harmful bacteria, but this is not always 100% effective.

Tests run on tap water have found that it may contain varying amounts of chlorine, solids in suspension, trihalomethanes, parasites, waterborne viruses, heavy metals, E. coli and other bacteria, organic compounds among others. The constitution and degrees of concentration will depend on the source and treatment process of the water flowing to your home.

Generally speaking, while safe to drink, tap water cannot be said to be the healthiest option you have available for your use. By simply investing in a water ionizer product, you can make the water your drink pure, balanced and healthy.

Preserve the health, remove the risk

Ionizing your tap water can help you to preserve useful minerals found in water such as silver, zinc, copper and carbon while eliminating all the non-useful and even harmful compounds like by-products of chemicals used in purification, life forms and disease-causing microorganisms.

Drinking purified and ionized water will provide a general sense of well-being, greater energy, relief from stress and chronic conditions, easier and faster digestion and a host of other benefits.

The advantage of using a water ionizer, which can directly connect to your tap water faucet, is that you can easily select the exact pH of the water you need according to your uses. For drinking specifically, most users prefer alkaline water at pH 8-9, but people who have been using ionized water for longer can safely go up to 9.5.

These levels are usually programmable in the water ionizer, so that you can access them easily. If you want to change the pH slightly, you can simply increase or decrease the water flow from the tap until you get the values that you want – it does not get any easier than that!

Ionization and anti-oxidation

Ionized water also carries the useful anti-oxidation properties we chase after in orange juice and other natural antioxidants. Anti-oxidation is measured in ORP, and expressed as a negative value, so that the lower the value, the stronger its anti-oxidation properties.

Freshly made orange juice has ORP of -150, and this is possible to achieve in your drinking water by setting the ORP level higher. You can even go to -200, which is the ORP of lemon grass, the strongest antioxidant in nature.

Savings in your wallet and the planet

If you have had to invest in bottled water because the tap water is not safe for drinking, consider getting a water ionizer and reap all these benefits in addition to great savings in your wallet. You can use it for years and years, making your savings grow exponentially once your initial investment has returned.

In additions, you end up saving the disposable plastic bottles that you would have bought and had to discard after every use. According to National Geographic, only 13% of plastic made, end up being recycled; the rest find their way to landfills, where they will take centuries before full decomposition or in incinerators, contributing to air pollution with the harmful gases produced.

As you can see, water ionization is a win-win; there is no reason for you not to make your move today!
