10 Reasons Why You Should Drink Ionized Alkaline Water

10 Reasons Why You Should Drink Ionized Alkaline Water
By Dianne Ronnow

Under normal circumstances, the body's pH levels naturally run slightly alkaline. Most Americans' bodies are overly acidic because of our poor diet filled with acid producing overly processed foods. Because of this, many health professionals suggest that we drink alkalized water.

Here are 10 reasons why you should consider drinking alkaline ionized water to change your pH levels:

1. Alkalized water provides a way to help the body restore its natural alkaline pH.
It helps to keep your body ph levels balanced which helps keep the body running in optimal condition. Ionized water helps reduce many symptoms of aging and increases energy.

2. Overly acidic bodies promote disease. Alkaline pH levels help fight disease, so drinking alkaline water helps you stay healthier. As a natural antacid, alkaline water can reduce acid reflux and help neutralize the acidity in the body to prevent sickness and some chronic diseases.

3. Drinking alkalized water promotes weight loss. Micro-structured water is easier for the body to metabolize and helps with losing weight.

4. Alkaline water is rich in antioxidants! Micro-structured water attacks free radicals through powerful antioxidant properties. Medical studies show that alkaline ionic water has powerful antioxidant properties-- even better than vitamins A, C, E, beta carotene and selenium.

Regular tap and bottled water have a positive ORP – molecules that oxidize our tissues and accelerate aging. Only alkaline water has a negative ORP – the antioxidant molecules we need.

5. Ionized alkaline water is living water. An ionizer does more than filter; it changes the structure of water to an ionized state, which makes it easier for the body's cells to absorb. Living water is water with a natural hexagonal, snowflake-like geometric structure of hexagonal crystal. Living water is found in healing springs around the world, and that this geometrical structure is what gives the water its healing properties.

Filtered, distilled, tap and bottled spring water do not have this crystal structure. There is no electrical charge, so they are dead, which is why they are not as easily absorbed into your cells.

6. You are actually rehydrating your body with ionized water. Your body will be up to six times more hydrated with alkaline water than when drinking dead water. Hydration helps the body function better and increases your energy levels.

7. Alkalized water is anti-aging and helps with your skin. Effective hydration helps your skin look healthier and the body detox easier. There are many anti-aging properties in alkaline water, like antioxidants, oxygen, alkaline minerals, and the very structure of the water itself.

8. You flood your body with oxygen when you drink alkaline water! Green juices and alkaline water are best way to do this. Alkalized water has extra oxygen – one oxygen atom for every one hydrogen (OH) whereas ordinary water has two hydrogen atoms (H2O) -- more hydrogen, so more acid.

9. Ionized alkaline water is better for cooking and food preparation. It makes your coffee and tea healthier and taste better. Vegetables simmered in it retain their natural texture and color, and rice and oats are fluffier when boiled in it. You also get better absorption of nutrients from foods you eat when they are prepared with it.

10. Many alkaline water drinkers report that they have more clarity of mind and energy because of the extra oxygen that ionized water supplies.

Drinking pure ionized alkaline water is not an excuse to continue to eat in an unhealthy manner or avoid getting medical attention, but it is an important step to take toward wellness. Micro-structured water supports the body's ability to heal itself and maintain an alkaline pH within the body.

Alkalized water cannot be bottled because it rapidly looses the negative charge over a period of several days. This is why it is important to buy a home ionizing machine.

WHY HAVE ASPIRIN BY YOUR BED?

WHY HAVE ASPIRIN BY YOUR BED?
Source: Email contribution

Dr. Virend Somers, a cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic who is lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 am and noon, Somers said. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened, he said. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.

1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, to take it at night. The reason: aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life". Therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the aspirin would be strongest in your system.

2. FYI, aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest .. years. (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar.)

WHY ASPIRIN BY YOUR BED save lives ... It is important to always have ASPIRIN in the home!!!

Why have Aspirin by your bedside ?

There are other symptoms of a heart attack besides the pain on the left arm.

One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently.

NOTE : There may be no pain in the chest during a heart attack.

The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.

If that happens, IMMEDIATELY DISSOLVE TWO ASPIRINS IN YOUR MOUTH and swallow them with a bit of water.

Afterwards, phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by and state ... "HEART ATTACK!!!" ... and that you have taken 2 ASPIRINS

Take a seat on a chair or sofa and wait for their arrival and ... DO NOT LIE DOWN !!!

A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person shares this with 10 people, probably a life can be saved!

Tick Removal

Tick Removal

Spring will be here soon and the ticks will soon be showing their heads. Here is a good way to get them off you, your children, or your pets. Give it a try.

Please forward to anyone with children... or hunters or dogs, or anyone who even steps outside in summer!!

A School Nurse has written the info below -- good enough to share -- And it really works!!

I had a pediatrician tell me what she believes is the best way to remove a tick. This is great, because it works in those places where it's sometimes difficult to get to with tweezers: between toes, in the middle of a head full of dark hair, etc.

Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-20), the tick will come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away. This technique has worked every time I've used it (and that was frequently), and it's much less traumatic for the patient and easier for me.

Unless someone is allergic to soap, I can't see that this would be damaging in any way. I even had my doctor's wife call me for advice because she had one stuck to her back and she couldn't reach it with tweezers. She used this method and immediately called me back to say, "It worked!"

Please pass on. Everyone needs this helpful hint.

Baby Carrots - Health Risk

Baby Carrots

The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc.

The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots - most people probably know this already.

What you may not know and should know is the following: Once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them. (this is the same chlorine used in your pool).

Since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of chlorine.

You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots. This is the chlorine which resurfaces.

At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables?

Chlorine is a very well-known carcinogen, which causes Cancer.. I thought this was worth passing on.

Pass it on to as many people as possible in hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how they are processed.

Eating foods that are high in copper, like sunflower seeds, can be beneficial. Your genes determine how old you'll be when you first start to go gray so stop the gray.

Apples
What They Do: Reduce Your Risk of Cancer
Bowden recommends eating foods high in quercetin, a nutrient found in apples and onions that has been shown to help fight cancer.

Salmon
What It Does: Keeps your heart healthy
Foods like salmon that are high in omega-3 fatty acids may help lower your risk of heart attack and have been shown to lower blood pressure.

Olive Oil
What It Does: Prevents wrinkles
Want to stay wrinkle-free, or at least prevent further skin aging.

Blueberries
What They Do: Fight memory loss
Even as early as your 20s, you can begin to see changes in your memory.

Hot Peppers
What They Do: Rev up your metabolism
It's a fact of life that as you age your metabolism gets sluggish, but adding some spice to your diet will help to keep your body burning.

Lean Protein
What It Does: Maintains muscle
Eggs, chicken, fish and lean cuts of beef, such as flank steak, are good sources. A known side effect of aging, muscle loss, can be reduced by eating enough protein. "Protein consists of amino acids, which are the building blocks of muscle; therefore, an adequate daily intake helps maintain, repair and build muscle.

Water
What It Does: Hydrates Your Skin
With age, our skin produces less oil and loses its elasticity. To fight off the effects of dehydration, "It's very important to drink plenty of water and try to limit caffeine and alcoholic beverages, which can enhance dehydration," Taub-Dix says. How much fluid a person needs depends on a variety of factors, such as physical activity and climate, but eight glasses a day is a good amount to aim for.

Carrots
What They Do: Protect Your Eyes
The most common cause of vision loss in people over 50 is age-related macular degeneration (AMD). But eating carrots, which are filled with beta carotene, can help stave off AMD, says Taub-Dix. So start munching: The earlier you begin eating beta-carotene rich foods the better.
