To be truly healthful, your water must also be alkaline. Pure distilled water ranks an even 7 on the pH scale. Anything above 7 is alkaline, and so better than acidic water, but to get the full benefits of alkaline water i.e. neutralizing acids- I recommend water that is at least 9.5 on the pH scale. Most water today is more acidic than neutral. Imagine you are drinking acidic water, requiring your body to draw down its stores of alkaline substances even more to neutralize water that should be neutral in the first place. Don’t be fooled by “pH balanced” claims like the ones on certain bottled water labels:” Naturally pH balanced at 7.2” But to really reap the benefits of alkaline water, that pH is not high enough.
Drinking Alkaline water washes away acids and wastes, helping your whole body stay alkaline. By providing alkaline water to neutralize and remove acids from the tissues, you’ll stop the body from gleaning alkaline substances from other body parts to do the job-like leaching calcium from your bones.
To reach your ideal health, your water must be energized. Energized water is saturated with electrons, highly charged and full of potential energy. You already know that alkaline water has a negative charge because of all its electrons, whereas acids are dominated by a positively charged protons, and that it is the attraction of electrons to the protons that neutralizes the harmful acids. Here I will explain the two ways to measure electron activity, or energy potential, of water: ORP and rH2.
The value of ORP (oxidative reduction potential) quantifies the amount of energy in your water (or anything else) by numbering its electrons. It is expressed in millivolts (mV). Make sure your water registers negative in millivolts. To get to your ideal health you water should have an ORP of at least –50 mV. (And you don’t want that tot go beyond –1,250mV, and as you get close to that you only want a small amount of it on any given day.) That means there would be sufficient electron activity to neutralize excess acids that would other wise cause your body to gain or hold weight. Most tap water comes in at +500 mV.
Consider rH2 (reduction of hydrogen: sometimes called “redox”) as sort of a back up measure to ORP. rH2 is measure on a scale, just the way pH is. The rH2 scale ranges from 0 to 44, with 22 being neutral: the lower the number, the greater the concentration of electrons. With each step, the number of electrons increases by a factor of 10; water with a rH2 of 22 has 10 times more electrons than water at 23. You want your water to have a rH2 of at least 22 or less. Unfortunately, most municipalities have, on average, an rH2 of 30 or greater. That’s 100 million fewer electrons than you’re aiming for! Our water is not providing us with the energy we need to be healthy and maintain a healthy weight.
Fortunately there is a easy way make sure you water is alkaline: To each liter of water (preferably ionized or distilled), add 10 drops of a Plasma pH (www.alkavision.com). Plasma pH is the best pH drops I have found on the market today. Adding the sodium chlorite to your water not only increases the pH but also increases electron activity.
Even better would be a water ionizer. A ionizer hooks directly to the faucet and filters out all the unwanted chemicals (chlorine, fluoride) and contaminants and make the water alkaline. I have a water ionizer in my home. When the family goes on vacation for a week we pack it up and bring it with us. When I travel alone I use Plasma pH drops.
