Why Ionized Water is Good For You

February 17, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

While the world realizes that there is a serious dearth of quality drinking water despite the proverbial optimism about filtered water, scientists and doctors have all been receptive to the new concept of alkaline water that has been touted to have several benefits for one’s health.

Thanks to the hydroxyl ions that are produced when one drinks alkaline water, all the acidic waste in your body is neutralized, and which is considered to be one of the biggest reasons as to why people get sick even though they take care of themselves on a daily basis.

While the simplest remedy is for you to use citrus fruit juice to increase the alkalinity of the water that you drink, there are devices that produce larger amounts of drinking water by using the method of electrolysis.

Commonly referred to as ionized water, one can find these devices sold by companies that have taken this scientific principle to another level altogether. Since these are considered quality products, they normally come in all shapes and sizes, one being the kitchen faucet water filter that produces alkaline water almost immediately for drinking.

One way or another, the benefits of this kind of water has been touted by the media and rightly so, as this means that one will be able to enjoy good drinking water again even if it means not necessarily resorting to conventional methods.

Health-Insurance Plans Place Unfair Burden on Women

January 17, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

A recently released Harvard Medical School study finds that high-deductible health-insurance plans offered by employers end up being markedly more expensive and less advantageous for women than for men. Researchers looked at costs in these plans by age group and by gender. In a pool of nearly 33,000 people, the median health-care costs for men ages 18 to 44 with these plans was $463, compared with $1,266 for women of the same age. Among people aged 45 to 64, the median health-care cost for men with these plans was $1,849; for women, $2,871.

A large part of the differential can be ascribed to the fact that women typically need many more routine exams, tests, and services (mammograms, cervical-cancer vaccines, Pap tests, birth-control and pregnancy related assistance, to name a few) than do men. Dr. Steffie Woodlander, the study’s lead author, nicely summed up its findings: “High deductible [health-insurance] plans punish women for having breasts and uteruses and having babies.” For more on the Harvard Health Insurance Study, see Working Health Remedies.

Truth Behind Liquid Diets

January 11, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

There have been a lot of critics against liquid diets and their supposed ability to reduce a person’s body weight and induce healing through equilibrium. As a matter of fact, there is some truth behind such diets, given a person undergoing such a diet does things correctly. Consumption of plain, distilled water may bring about positive effects to your body’s health, but ionized water can do a much better job. You first have to be aware that there is a huge difference between mineral and ionized water. It is the latter that offers the most benefits.

So what’s so great about drinking alkaline water, and why is it better to drink than off-the-shelf mineral water? First of all, ionized water has smaller clusters of H20 water molecules. That means your body’s cells will have an easier time absorbing them, thus heightening your ability to rehydrate. Meanwhile, the high pH level of ionized water makes it a natural eliminator of acidic waste in your body. By neutralizing acidic waste, your body will be able detoxify itself at a much faster rate than normal.

A water ionizer does all that and so much more. Detoxification is increased because this type of water contains a lot of negatively charged hydroxyl ions. These ions automatically bond with acidic waste components that are found floating all over your body.
