Inspiration: Cellular Respiration

Did you know that cells breathe? This process is known as cellular respiration. It allows the exchange of nutrients and waste products moving in and out of the cell. Glucose (sugar) is converted to water and carbon dioxide to provide energy for the cell and balance homeostasis. This takes place within the mitochondria. These mitochondria use enzymes as a catalyst for their transformation. Some enzymes, known as antioxidants, can neutralize waste compounds that are formed as a byproduct of energy production. 

Antioxidants have amazing healing potential and protect the body from damage done by oxidation from free radicals. Free radicals include reactive oxygen species (ROS), aka free radicals. While free radicals serve the purpose of destroying pathogens in the body, it can be harmful if there is too much oxidation in the body.  Their specific structure contains an unpaired electron that seeks to pair with antioxidants to neutralize the charge.

So, if we consume enough antioxidants, we can mitigate the risk of accumulating too many ROS “free radicals” and thereby prevent disease and damages.

When there is an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body, free radicals can begin to attack healthy cells. This can lead to premature cell death and damage. Free radicals can become overwhelming due to toxins in the environment from chemicals, pollution and radiation exposure.

While we cannot avoid all these triggers in modern times, we can take care to reduce our intake of harmful substances and exposure to chemicals. We can also choose to introduce more antioxidants to our system.

This Alkaline Water is Trash

I can’t condone littering on our beautiful beach but I will applaud whoever was willing to pay extra funds for this “alkaline” water in hopes of making a healthier choice.

Unfortunately, water in plastic bottles sits on shelves and leeches contaminants into the water. By the time someone drinks it, it’s definitely not fresh or springy.

Also, bottled alkaline water contains additives to increase the pH so it can be labeled as alkaline. You could get the same alkalinity by adding electrolytes, in this case potassium hydroxide, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride. This is a chemical change in the water with “electrolytes added for taste”

This water attempts at what ionized water actually is: purified alkalyzed water. The ionizer I use and sell produces an electrical change in the water that not only raises the pH, but also contains the potent antioxidant molecular hydrogen. So, the machine I use isn’t only about alkaline, it’s more so about creating medicinal molecular hydrogen.

We can strive to eat an alkaline diet and keep our bodies balanced, but I’m sorry to say that spending extra money on bottled alkaline water definitely isn’t the pathway to improvements. Instead, invest in your longevity with a machine that is serviceable and built to last 25+ years, like a kitchen appliance you can take with you throughout life. When I move it moves, just like that!

Reach out if you are interested in health and improving the way you water. It’s clear this person cared about their health, but was misguided in their purchase. Can’t say the same about their carelessness for the planet, but hoping it was an accidental occurrence.

Please don’t trash our mama or your sacred vessel, if (it’s) possible.

Leave nothing behind, unless it’s chemically alkaline

What Are Free Radicals and How Can We Resolve Their Damage?

Antioxidants and Ionized Water

Ionized Water contains high levels of molecular hydrogen, a potent antioxidant. Instead of allowing free radicals to wreak havoc in the body and cause damage via disease over time, Kangen Water combats illness by neutralizing free radicals. How?

Free Radical damage creates aging in the body and leads to disease. The water ionizers create hydrogen-rich water that are easily absorbed by the body, making it one of the most powerful antioxidants available. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and our bodies contain hydrogen naturally, so Ionized Water acts as a supplemental formula for healing.

As the filtered water is ionized, the water is electrically charged to create a plethora of hydroxyl ions. These hydroxyl ions are oxygen molecules containing an extra electron. This extra electron is what is donated to free radicals to turn them into h2o, hydrating water.

In summary, free radicals are missing an electron and therefore are causing damage to cells in the body and could cause disease. Hydrogen water as an antioxidant hydroxyl ion is able to donate its free electron to the damaged free radical cell. When this takes place and the electron connects with the free radical, the former free radical is now changed to h2o aka hydrating water!

In this way, we are healing the body by restoring balance within the cells and establishing a baseline of hydration at the deepest level.
