Antioxidants and alkaline water. Alkaline water produced by a water ionizer can be a great source of antioxidants and other minerals. Hard water, which is found in many areas will contain large amounts of calcium and magnesium, and will likely have many other minerals in it as well, some of those minerals, such as zinc and manganese, are antioxidants. While the filters in an ionizer work to reduce the levels of many substances found in tap water, they allow useful amounts of minerals to pass through. A water ionizer is the best way to get antioxidant minerals from water because they concentrate beneficial minerals in drinking water while rejecting... read more >>

Acid to Digest, Alkaline to Absorb The stomach uses acidity to break down food, the acid in the stomach mixes with the broken down food to produce a substance called chyme, which then passes into the small intestine. Keep in mind that the stomach primarily... read more >>

Small Changes make a Big Difference! An article in the Miami Herald posted on Tuesday pointed out that small changes in pH make a big difference. A drop in pH of just one tenth of a point (0.1 pH) increases acidity by 26%. The article warned that a drop of 0.1 pH had been detected in the earth’s oceans, and consequences such as the loss of coral reefs, are already occurring. Your Body is an Ocean The source of ocean acidification mentioned in the article is carbon dioxide being put into seawater through carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Just as the ocean can be acidified by putting acidic materials into it, so can your body. Remember, 70%... read more >>
