Does Drinking Alkaline Water Increase Health Benefits?

This short article sums up what I have learned in my extensive research about the health benefits of drinking alkaline water or ionized water as some call it. I've spent several hours reviewing many sites to write this overall review of the benefits of drinking alkaline water. This is a good starting point for someone who has little or no knowledge of water ionizer machines and their benefits.

As with any product, these machines have their proponents and opponents on the health benefits of drinking alkaline water. There are many studies on this subject but we are going to take a proponents view. We will look at the benefits, and then at a few of the water ionizer products available.

Let’s take a look at what one expert says about drinking alkaline water or water that is pH balanced by a water ionizer. According to the research of Dr. Enderlein, total healing of chronic illness only takes place when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. The pH range is from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being neutral. Anything above 7.0 is alkaline, anything below 7.0 is considered acidic. (http://forums.ratedesi.com/archive/index.php/t-45930.html)

Scientists have discovered that the body fluids of healthy people are alkaline balanced (Ph 7.35), whereas the body fluids (the lymph) of sick people are acidic (low pH). Unless your body's pH level is slightly alkaline, your body cannot heal itself. Doctors claim that a pH balanced body is resistant to many diseases. Most diseases cannot live in a pH balanced body, but thrive in an acidic environment. Most studies and information I have reviewed over the past months is that the human body functions better when it is slightly alkaline. (http://www.life-enthusiast.com)

While these studies and facts are all good to know, it always comes down to the personal decision of the individual to develop a healthier lifestyle. In my opinion, if the health benefit is something that you want, maybe it will cheaper in the long run, and will contribute to a longer, healthier life. Most of us know by living in the world that when we make better choices of what we eat and drink, we are usually healthier and feel better. As I am sure you heard before, "You are what you eat", and now we can add "drink" to that statement. You are what you eat and drink.

So that being said, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of 3 leading countertop water ionizer machines. We looked long and hard at many web sites and articles on the leading water ionizer machines on the market today. In our extensive research we found that three machines are classified as the top 3 products available today for water ionization. They are Jupiter, TyentUSA, and Life Ionizers. I watched as the lab tests were done to compare the pH levels (power of hydrogen), to see which one delivered the best results with the best features, and here they are:

Jupiter – Single filter, single stage

Electronic

Flow Rate – 1 gallon per minute

Power – Transformer

Plate Quantity – 5 Plates

Plate Size – 5" long

Plate Material – Titanium

Plate Design – Mesh – Sealed

Ease of Use - Good

Warranty – 5 years with 3 years parts and labor, then 2 years labor only...

Trial Period – None

Chemical Injectors – None

ORP Rating – Fair

pH Rating - Fair

Tyent –Dual Filter (including mineralizing filter),

Multi Stage, Multiple types of ceramic + activated carbon

Electronic

Flow Rate – 3/4 gallon per minute

Power – SMPS with 55pH adjustable (no transformer)

Plate Quantity – 7 Plates

Plate Size – 7" long

Plate Material – Platinum Titanium

Plate Design – Cross Mesh

East of Use – Excellent – LCD touch screen

Warranty – 5 year parts and labor

Trial Period – 60 Days

Chemical Injectors – None

ORP Rating – Excellent

pH Rating - Excellent

Life Ionizer – Dual filters, multi-stage, carbon, activated carbon, Ceramic

Automatic Flow Control

Flow Rate – 3/4 gallon per minute

Power – SMPS Power System

Plate Quantity – 7 Plates

Plate Size – 5" long

Plate Material – Platinum Titanium

Plate Design – Life Mesh Technology

Ease of Use – Auto Flow control

Warranty – 5 year parts and labor

Chemical Injectors – None

ORP Rating – Good

PH Rating - Good

In conclusion, the Tyent MMP-7070 had the best pH and ORP ratings of the two machines with more control over pH level output. The MMP-7070 also has the largest surface area of filtering. The pH level output control is an excellent feature because it can be used with virtually any water source.

To find out more, go the individual web sites of each company and search for their product or name. You can also go to http://www.IonizersReviewed.com and watch the lab tests for yourself as I did.

Thank You and I hope this article helped you in your search of information on water ionizer machines.
