A big problem to maintain health is to achieve a proper pH balance in your body.  To achieve balance, many health practitioners recommend consuming an 80/20 combination of alkaline and acid forming foods.  Alkaline forming foods consist of fresh, preferably organic, fruits and vegetables.  Most any food that is prepared or processed like chips and crackers is acid forming.  And cooked foods also contribute to the acid/alkaline imbalance in our diet today.

Unfortunately, the typical American diet consists of mostly high acid-forming foods and beverages.  Diets high in processed foods and most prepared drinks like soda compound the problem.  Also, your body's own metabolism and physiological functions produce acidic wastes that can build up in your body if not properly disposed of.

Properly shifting an acidic body to a healthy alkaline base is difficult over time when it is difficult to break away for diet habits.  Unless you are extremely disciplined with your diet habits or you are threatened by a serious illness your body pH balance will be difficult to adjust to a healthly alkaline balance.

Drinking fresh alkaline ionized hexagonal water can offer you a simple way to start changing your habits and improving your overall health.

The high alkalinity of ionized water from a good ionized water machine can help shift your body pH balance to a healthy alkaline balance.  The smaller hexagonal shape of ionized water can hydrate your body up to three times more effectively.  The more fresh the ionized water, the more benefit you will receive for the antioxidant effect.

The body will do anything to keep the pH of blood at 7.36.  If the pH of blood drops to 7.0, this can be life threatening.  The logrithmic scale of pH represents that from 7.4 to 7.0, you have a four time increase in the acidity of the substance.  For the blood, this is dramatic.  To maintain a proper pH in the blood for healthy physiologic functions, the body will buffer acids found in the blood.  The body will call on minerals stored in our organs and bones.  It is important to note that the body will have to damage it's own organ systems just to keep the blood healthy.

Chronic long-term over-acidity can accelerate the aging process.  While the body maintains the proper pH level in the blood, all other tissues can become more acidic.  Health experts agree that an over-acidic environment in the body is related to the reduced resistence to colds, flu and respiratory problems.

How to get started drinking alkaline ionized water
The best way for you to get started appreciating the health benefits of drinking alkaline ionlized water is to get a ionization machine for yourself.  Even for this little known industry, there are many different machines to choose from.

After careful consideration for our own use, we decided to go with a machine from Enagic, Inc.  The model is called the Leveluk SD 501.  The reason for the decision to use this particular machine is primarily because you get what you pay for.  Surely, the machines produced and distributed through the Enagic Corporation cost more, but we decided to make the investment.

We like our Kangen hexagonal water ionizer so much, that we decided to become a distributor.
