What should I expect from drinking Ionized Alkaline Water?
People, pets and animals will all notice benefits from drinking Ionized Alkaline Water.
Is there anyone who should not drink Ionized Alkaline Water?
Some people must start by drinking very small amounts of Ionized Alkaline Water, such as 8 oz. of strength level 1 (one) Ionized Alkaline Water per day. This is especially true of the elderly who often have unfortunately allowed heavy metals and other toxins to accumulate in their bodies. Sometimes years of medication has accumulated in them. Children 3 years and younger should not drink Ionized Alkaline Water.
Can my baby drink Alkaline Water?
In the case of infants (until about a year old), since breast milk or milk is the only thing they consume, the intestinal movement is generally different from adults, and the use of alkaline ionized water is not encouraged until the infant begins to consume more sophisticated foods. In any case, alkaline water should not be used to make powdered milk for infants.
Should I take medication or supplements with Ionize Alkaline Water?
You should not drink Ionize Alkaline Water 45 minutes to 1 hour before or after taking medication or supplements. Do not drink Ionized Alkaline Water when taking the medication or supplements. Use purified water or another liquid or water source.
There are people all around the world that drink as much as 1 to 2 gallons of alkaline ionized water per day and have never become TOO alkaline. In fact, it is rare for a person to acquire Alkalosis, the condition of being too alkaline. In order for this to take place it would take either a rare defect in the human body where not enough acid is produced, or some other rare ailment. Again, this would be very rare and it is most likely you would be well aware of this if it is something that is affecting you. One of the most common imbalances people suffer from today leading to health problems is that they are too acidic. Our goal should be to have our body pH at approximately 7.3 (measured through saliva or urine). The more acidic we are, meaning a 7.0 pH or lower, the greater opportunity we have provided disease to flourish inside us
The Antioxidant (hydroxyl ions) will last approximately 18-24 hours. Check the video about it here. The pH (alkaline properties) will last approximately 4-5 days. The smaller molecule cluster size will last approximately 1-3 months. Does Ionized Alkaline Water have any negative effects? Absolutely none, as long as it is used properly.
What is Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP)?
Yes, both produce alkaline water but the water produced by our flask is energized, micro-clustered and ionized. Another thing is that the alkaline water only retains its pH and ORP value for about 48 hours upon ionization and it deteriorates faster if stored in plastic bottles. Considering that the 5 gallon bottle you buy is freshly made - you have to consume that within 48 hours to take advantage of it's efficacy: (I suggest you watch the previous video about ORP so you'll understand).
Can a person become too Alkaline from drinking Ionized Alkaline Water?
.How much water should I drink?
You should drink half your body weight in ounces per day. For example, a person weighing 100 pounds should drink 50 ounces or 1-3 glasses per day for the first week. You may increase the number of glasses per day during the first week if you do not notice any side effects. If you do not feel any flu like symptoms at the end of the first week, you may increase the number of glasses per day during the first week if you're feeling good. On average, you're recommended to take 2 liters of alkaline water per day, the more better it is for you because the water is Alkaline, more Detoxifying, and a stronger Antioxidant that provides your body with more Oxygen.
When will I begin noticing the health benefits?
It varies from person to person. You might start noticing a positive response in as little as one day or within a few weeks. read more about that here.
Why do some people have flu like symptoms when first drinking Ionized Alkaline Water?
If you start drinking Ionized Alkaline Water at a high level (high pH level), you might notice flu like symptoms. The ionization process creates water molecule clusters that are half the size of regular water molecule clusters. This makes the water much more hydrating because it flows through our body tissue more easily, thus pushing toxins out of our system. It is this detoxifying effect that sometimes gives people headaches and diarrhea
How does Ionized Alkaline Water affect athletes, body builders and people who regularly exercise?
In an extremely positive way, as you might expect. Blood oxygen levels will rise at varying amounts with regular use of strong Ionized Water. This increases stamina, endurance and provides the muscles tissue and organs with high amounts of oxygen, which the human body often lacks, even in athletes because inadequate diets. Proper hydration sustains the body's physiological responses in all activities, but the physical and mental stresses of athletic training and competition magnify the importance of hydration. Numerous studies conducted on athletes since the 1940s have demonstrated that even mild dehydration impairs performance. Current thought is that athletes consuming a traditional Western diet have consumed an abundance of salt, so there is no need to replace salt when exercise last less than two hours. Water that has been alkalinized may help neutralize the exercise induced acidosis (lactic acid build up), since the pH of alkaline water is high. Ionized water may help act as a free-radical scavenger to address the issue of accelerated oxygen consumption. Ionized water is micro-clustered, so it may be absorbed at a faster rate, helping with rehydration. Dr. Peter L. Kopko, D.C., recommends drinking 13 to 20 ounces (2-3 cups) of water 2 hours before exercise and 5 to 10 ounces (about 1-2 cups) every 15 to 20 minutes of exercise, depending on your total body weight.
How long does Ionized Alkaline Water stay Ionized?
ORP is the electrical charge needed to reduce or slow down oxidization (decay). Alkaline water must have a negative ORP in order to be considered beneficial to drink. ORP provides the ability to reduce oxgen's ability to oxidize. ORP can be measured through electronic hardware. A negative ORP value (meaning surplus electrons) in ionized alkaline water is evidence of its antioxidant power.
Will your flask produce water same as the Alkaline water we can get at the alkaline water refilling station?
I just received my Alkaline flask, how do I use it for the first time?
Here are the steps when using your flask for the first time:
- Open flask, and remove the filter that is inside the flask. It looks like this -->
- Wash the flask with warm water and soap and rinse well. DO NOT WASH THE FILTER WITH SOAP. Just wash with plain water.
- Put the filter back into the flask. Pour hot water (almost boiling temperature) until at least 2 inches above the filter. Do not place cover. Just let the water cool down in the flask, discard water and repeat this step 2 more times. Now your flask is ready for use.
- You can wash your flask with soap and water at least once a month.
- To use flask. Pour room temperature water into the flask until water reaches around 2 inches above the filter line. Shake vigorously for a minute and let rest for 10-15 minutes, changing the position (inverting the flask, lay it down etc.). Shake for another minute and pour on a GLASS or ceramic cup. Enjoy! Recommended daily dosage is up to 2 liters per day.
- You can store ionized water in container or bottles made of GLASS only. You must consume stored ionized water within 48 hours.
DO's & DON'Ts
- Do not use cold or hot water. Just regular room temperature water.
- Do not take Alkaline Ionized water with your medicine and vitamins as it might affect its efficacy. If you drink alkaline water, wait for 45 mins to an hour before your taking your medicine. If you've already taken your medicine/vitamins, then wait for at least 45 mins to an hour before taking Alkaline water.
- Do not store water on your flask overnight. The filter needs to rest, too. Remove filter to drip and dry your flask at night.
