Benefits of Purified, Alkaline & Anti-Oxidant Water (Structured Water)

Today, more of us are demanding pure, cleaner and healthier water.  PUR2o’s Alkaline & Anti Oxidant Cartridge produces water which naturally ionizes our body. 

It is crucial to start with filtered, purified, clean water. 

PUR2o achieves optimal filtration through Reverse Osmosis – one of the most effect technologies in removing ALL of the harshest, most harmful contaminants found in drinking water supplies everywhere.  While RO technology is extremely effective at removing contaminants, it is unable to identify & separate beneficial minerals also present in the water.  As a result, the water produced is essentially "dead" and acidic water.

PUR2o has a solution. 

Every system is designed with a RE-mineralizing stage in order to neutralize the water’s pH … but PUR2o has taken its commitment to providing healthier water to an even higher level.   In its final stage, PUR2o includes its Ph Booster & Ionizer. 

About Alkaline and Anti-Oxidant Water  

Studies show alkaline & anti-oxidant water has been proven effective in preventing and treating cancer, diabetes, aging, auto immune & other diseases.  Most diseases, except those caused by pathogenic bacteria, are linked to pollution of the blood. 

The human body consists mostly of water.  Most of us take for granted the water we drink is free of contaminants and impurities.  Depending on the condition of water we consume, whether it comes from the tap or a plastic bottle, we can presume diseases are due to abnormalities in the water.  When we drink poor quality water, where pollution has weakened the cohesive power of the molecules, we risk disease.

Alkaline & anti-oxidant water is believed to activate those enzymes that remove harmful free radical oxygen in the body. Alkaline & anti-oxidant water is not “medicine” but is an effective deterrent against certain diseases. It boosts our immunity and has natural healing properties. When comparing two healthy adults, studies show significant differences between the one drinking tap water and the one drinking alkaline & anti-oxidant water. Alkaline water enhances the taste and flavor of coffee and cooked food as well. Using it for plants, pets & aquarium water may result in better growth and health. Washing with alkaline water results in healthier skin and fewer wrinkles. Skin ages because of a lack of moisture and the loss of elasticity.  Skin is mostly composed of collagen protein. Hair loss due to aging happens when hair becomes dry due to the loss of moisture.

Drinking alkaline water every day supplies moisture and nutrients to skin cells and hair follicles. 

Other water ionizers are available. Most use electrolysis to ionize the water – and are probably effective in achieving ionization. They do not, however, provide proper filtration, therefore, every particle in the water is ionized, including every contaminant present.  In addition, because of the electrical current utilized for electrolysis, these types of ionizers create potentially dangerous electro-magnetic fields (EMFs).

“Water is life's mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.”  

Water is important to sustain life. It is part of every process that occurs in human, plant and animal organisms. Without water there can be no life. If the quality of water is bad or polluted, our lifespan can be significantly shortened and we can develop any number of diseases.  Ancient men, whether from the east or the west, have maintained water is central to the creation of life as we know it. Ancient Chinese philosophy evolves around the concept which associates life in terms of the five atmospheric elements, water, fire, earth, metal and wood. If life is to be sustained, those five conditions must be in constant balance and harmony. In its macro concept, these atmospheric conditions determine the state of the world and universe.  In its micro concept, they determine the state of human life in the surrounding environment. Drinking good, alkaline and anti-oxidant water provides  the hope of good health and, likewise, good health begins with drinking good quality water. 

Water

As we learned in chemistry class, a molecule of water is composed of 1-atom of oxygen and 2- atoms of hydrogen …  H2O. In  it's liquid form, these molecules are linked by a hydrogen bond called a cluster formation.                                                                                                               

The exact number of H2O molecules in liquid stage is unknown. Researchers believe a cluster is formed along chains of pentagonal and hexagonal structures. Many scientific studies indicate water in its hexagonal state – or alkaline state – parallels water found in healthy cells in our bodies. Water constitutes the majority of elements in the human body. 

The water we consume has a tremendous impact on our health and our body’s overall function.

Approximately 75% of our body is water. We lose water in a variety of ways, such as breathing (exhaling), sweating, urinating, among others. Doctors urge us to drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. Without water, our bodies have no way of dissolving foods we eat to in turn, dispose of solids. 

Lack of exercise, stressful jobs, fast & processed foods and simply eating too much allows waste products to solidify and accumulate in our bodies.    

Without sufficient amounts of water, our bodies cannot eliminate the waste. This can lead to cardiovascular diseases, cancer, kidney disease, obesity, and other maladies.  

In order to live a longer, healthy life we should exercise, eat healthy food and take in high quality water. 

High quality water also provides the energy we need to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  Mineral ions in our bodies, acting with thousands of biological enzymes create that energy. Keeping our body physically, chemically and electrically balanced goes a long way toward maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Once balanced, the magnetic fields in our bodies activate essential physiological functions and lead to a good metabolism.

Water invigorates the body by restoring and maintaining its vitality … the essence of life.

Alkali Calcium Ionized Water

The Necessity of Natural Mineral, Alkali Calcium Ionized Water. Minerals are essential to keep our bodies healthy. Up to 116 mineral elements have been found in the human body.

Calcium makes up 99% of our bones and 1% of our blood  It plays a role in brain function, alkalization of fluids, preventing viruses, enriching hormones and enzymes, better muscle, better muscle function, regular heart beat, blood clustering, glycogen production, and the formation of strong bones and teeth.

Calcium, however, is metallic. In the stomach where acidity measures 2.5 – 3.0, it becomes extremely difficult to convert calcium into ions. If not converted, it is not absorbed and simply excreted from our body. 

Milk has the biggest portion of calcium ions, but to satisfy daily requirements for calcium, we have to drink as much as 1-quart per day. A better way to take in calcium is by drinking mineralized water.

1 out of 4 American adults suffers from bone related diseases.  One possible cause is linked to the phosphorus found in soda and soft drinks.  Phosphorus prevents normal calcium absorption by our body.

Stress, air & other pollution, and eating too much acidic food have been linked to cancer.  Cancer cells grow in acidic environments.  Without balanced alkali levels, cells may become cancerous.  As long as the body is in an acidic condition, cancer cells cannot be completely eradicated.

One way to prevent bodily fluids from becoming acidic is by drinking alkaline water. PUR2o’s alkaline calcium ionized water is a perfect solution.  Ionized minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium can be absorbed 100% in body.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

First, the PUR2o Water Filter & Purifier removes ALL contaminants and impurities*.   Adding PUR2o’s Alkaline Filter (photo right) at the end-stage,  instantly turns water alkaline and anti-oxidant. 

Extensive research tells us calcium ions contribute to a long & healthy life.  Without spending a lot of money, we can keep our body fit and strong. 

* Other electrical ionizers produce alkaline water without pre-filtering/purifying.  They also use an electrical charge which attaches calcium ions to any and all impurities which remain in the water.  Doing so, creates an electro-magnetic field (EMF) similar to a microwave effect.  SEE FIGURE 1 ABOVE.

Minerals

The General Functions of Essential Minerals

Ca (Calcium) – builds teeth and bones and also nourishes hormone secretion.  Lack of  calcium may lead to osteoporosis, tooth decay, muscle spasms, arthritis, cramps in hands & feet, and a more difficult menopause

Mg (Magnesium) – regulates energy production and maintains vitamins in the body.  Low levels of magnesium cause of fatigue, insomnia, hair loss, depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, tooth decay, PMS, migraines, anxiety and heart disease

Na (Sodium) – with potassium, maintains absorption of body fluids. Without these minerals, there is a loss of appetite, a loss of weight, nausea, dehydration, menstruation function disorder and anxiety

K (Potassium) – Maintains blood pressure and has an essential role in the muscular and nervous system.  Low potassium leads to a rapid heart beat, constipation, high blood pressure, heart disease, angina pectoris, allergies, eczema and dry skin.

Minerals and the Body

Minerals are essential nutrients, meaning they cannot be synthesized by cell metabolism and must be supplied through food and water. Many of us are aware of the benefits of vitamins but know almost nothing of the importance of minerals.   Our body can produce some vitamins, such as A, B2, K and D (from sunshine).  Due to their organic compounds, vitamins can also be manufactured.

On the other hand our body cannot make a single mineral.   Minerals come from the earth.

When minerals are combined with dietary proteins, fats, carbohydrates and vitamins, they become integral part of body structure and function.

Basically they “build and regulate”. 

“Building” involves the formation of bones, teeth and all the tissues in the organs and skin. “Regulating” involves secretion of glands, maintaining water balance, acid-alkaline balance, transmission of impulse, transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide, transmission and discharge of metabolic waste, heart beat, blood clotting and enzyme activities.

    Proper Ways to Drink Water                                                                                                                               

    A healthy body is a well-hydrated machine

A healthy body is more than a well-oiled machine. It's a well-hydrated machine. Humans need water to survive and thrive.  To keep you and your family energized and strong, try these tips for maximum hydration and good health. 

    1 – Get on a water schedule

    Start the day with a glass when you get up, then have at least one more with each meal.

    2 – Take water breaks

    Mid-afternoon is prime time to break for a refreshing glass of PUR2o’s Alkaline water.  So is before, during and after any kind of exercise.

    3 – Pair your caffeinated beverages with a glass of alkali calcium ionized water

    Since caffeine acts as a diuretic and actually dehydrates you, fight back by re-hydrating immediately with a glass of water. 

When it's Cold, Don't Forget to Drink! 

Did you know the colder it gets, the harder your body has to work to maintain its 98.6 temperature? This extra energy requires you drink even more water than usual. So, if you're skiing, skating or even just walking in cold weather, drink a lot of water and make sure your children and pets do too! 

Drinking 64 ounces of water a day (Eight, 8-ounce glasses or 2-quarts) will actually help you stay warm. 

Also keep in mind that colds, the flu and medication will dehydrate you, as does the heat in homes and other buildings – all the more reason to drink plenty of water during the winter. 

Beauty tip 

    If your skin tends to get dry in winter, extra hand cream, lip balm and lotion won't do the trick in fighting cold weather flakiness.  According  to doctors, the best bet is to hydrate   from within by drinking water every day.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Water and Health

Are You Water Wise? 

Soft drinks won't do it. Fruit juices won't do it. Even milk won't do it. In fact nothing hydrates your body like water. Pure and clean, with no added chemicals, PUR2o’s natural alkali calcium ionized water is one of the best sources of hydration – hydration is the key to good health and strong bodies.

Your entire body needs water to work well …

• Water helps digest food, turning it into energy. 
• Water regulates body temperature, keeps our  mouth moist, and maintains muscle tone. 
• Water carries nutrients and oxygen to every cell in the body, and protects and cushions vital organs and joints. 
• Water plays a significant part in weight loss … 
• Water is a great aid for dieters because it has no calories, acts as an appetite suppressant, and helps the body metabolize stored fat. 
• Water alleviates fluid retention, relieves constipation, and flushes impurities from the body. 
• As temperatures rise, so does your body's need for water … During the summer your body must stay properly hydrated. The evaporation of perspiration from your skin cools you down, but water is lost during the process. It's important to replenish that water; otherwise your body can overheat.            

• Caffeinated and alcoholic beverages are dehydrating …  Far from refreshing, caffeinated beverages, wines and spirits zap the body of water. To compensate, increase your water consumption. 

• During a 60-minute workout you can sweat out more than a quart of water … Dehydration happens fast. Take steps to prevent it by drinking 16-ounces of water two hours before exercising, then drinking four to six ounces every  20-minutes during your workout.
