Now I have talked to many people in the industry professionals, doctors, and people from all walks of life and a question that always come back to me about ionizers is
“If our stomachs are acidic in nature does Alkaline Water have any positive effects on the body?”
As we know the stomach actually maintains a pH of around 4 and this can be affected by what we eat, drink, emotions, and our even stress levels. The stomach is constantly altering the pH levels by generating more or less Hydrochloric Acid to help us digest food when we eat and less acid when we are resting.
But what happens when you are drinking more alkaline water or eating alkaline foods?
To elaborate on this process, I will here is a passage from Sang Whangs book.
The cells in our stomach wall must produce it on an instantly-as-needed basis. The ingredients in the stomach cell that make hydrochloric acid (HCl) are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sodium chloride (NaCl) or potassium chloride (KCl).
NaCl + H2O + CO2 = HCl + NaHCO3, or KCl + H2O + CO2 = HCl + KHCO3
As we can see, the byproduct of making hydrochloric acid is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3), which goes into blood stream. These bicarbonates are the alkaline buffers that neutralize excess acids in the blood; they dissolve solid acid wastes into liquid form. As they neutralize the solid acidic wastes, extra carbon dioxide is released, which is discharged through the lungs. As our body gets old, these alkaline buffers get low; this phenomenon is called acidosis. This is a natural occurrence as our body accumulates more acidic waste products. There is, therefore, a relationship between the aging process and the accumulation of acids.

Basically what this excerpt is saying is that drinking alkaline water actually will help us change our bodies pH so that we are less acidic. Then if you are less acidic it creates a healthier environment for your organs, skin, and can leave you much healthier.
Acidosis is a very scary thing that can happen to your body or the people you know if you do not live healthy.
If you do a google search you will find tons of information on this subject. For me i noticed that when I was very acidic in my lifestyle I would constant become tired, would lack energy I needed to go through the day. In fact in Asia, we have a lot of mosquitoes here and before I was at Chanson I would constantly be bitten but as I changed my lifestyle change my way of living, my habits I found that being less acidic I was more energetic, healthier, and was actually bitten less by the mosquitoes. I am not 100% sure but I feel that changing my lifestyle has definitely been better choice for me.
If you are also looking to change your life to be healthier, you can’t just keep living a poor unhealthy lifestyle and wait for things to happen. Changes have to be made. So why not start by drinking the right water, sleeping earlier, eating healthier, and adding some exercise into your life. Just making these small changes in your life can improve your health in a dramatic way.
Alkaline Ionized Water has 3 main properties that will cover in future postings.
1.) Balancing the bodies blood pH
2.) Micro-clustering Water for better hydration
3.) – ORP (Oxidizing Reduction Potential)
