If you’re shopping for water ionizers, you probably know that when you have your own, you’ll be able to make the most of one of the most important and abundant natural resources of our planet - water. Our body is comprised of about 70% water, and our brain is composed of about 80% water. Many bodily functions, including the pH balance, the waste removal system, and the body's temperature are all regulated by or affected by our water intake, both the amount and the quality.

Water ionizers are different than water filters because ionized water has undergone a scientific change, while a filter merely removes harmful elements from your tap water.

Those of you currently using reverse osmosis water, I recommend a remineralizer (Coral Calcium) filter. Water cannot be ionized if it has no minerals in it. My water goes through the R.O. filter, then the remineralizer, then the ionizer--all below my sink. That remineralizer will be discounted to about $70 in the group buy.

Water undergoes a scientific process to become alkalized, micro-clustered, and ionized. The ionizer easily attaches to your kitchen water supply and dispenses ionized water at the touch of a button. The water enters the water ionizer chamber and undergoes the process of electrolysis or ionization. This process causes approximately 70% of the water flowing into the ionizer to become OH- , which is alkaline water. The other approximately 30% of the water is converted to OH+ , which is acidic water and comes out of a different spout. The acidic water can be collected and utilized around the house and used on plants, in the dishwasher, and for specific uses, while the alkaline water is for drinking and cooking.

Alkaline water enhances the taste of food cooked in it. Ionization also changes the molecular structure of water, leaving it with just 6 or 7 molecules per cluster as opposed to the average 12 or 13. This allows our body to become hydrated more quickly: drinking alkaline water, you don't have that “sloshing” feeling, because your body utilizes the water immediately and you are always superhydrated. This faster hydration helps to regulate body temperature and circulation: since drinking it myself, my hands and feet aren’t cold during the winter, a problem I’d had for several years prior to buying my Life Ionizer 7000.

Adding GreenSmoothieGirl Instant Greens to the water gives you even more alkalinity, and when dissolved in alkaline water, the greens, nutrients, probiotics, and enzymes are more effectively absorbed.

The additional hydration of water from a water ionizer can also help the digestion system to digest our food better and help our waste removal system function better, by helping the organs to function more efficiently. This allows the body to get rid of more toxins, which can leave us healthier and can help us lose weight. High intake of ionized water has been linked to the gradual decrease in fatty deposits in the body.

A water ionizer is a good investment to make because it can eliminate many contaminants in water, while also giving you all the valuable minerals from the water.
