Cooking with Alkaline water improves the nutritional value and the taste of food and drinks such as, tea and coffee. Makes acidic foods and drink more alkaline.
In Japan, Alkaline Antioxidant Water is known as a 'hangover cure'. Alkaline ice cubes in a glass of alcohol neutralize acidity and may help to prevent a hangover.

It is up to you to help your body win the fight to maintain proper balance. Stress and diet all present their challenges to our system. Drinking water is one of the easiest, and most important things to do for your body. Drinking better water is even better. Here is where AlkaZone products can help you - first the AlkaZone Water Ionizer and second, when you are on the run, the AlkaZone Alkaline Booster.
Many foods create excess acidity in the body in the course of the metabolic cycle. High stress can further add to the load. Eating foods that alkalize the body helps to support the need for buffering the acidity. Drinking water with
plentiful mineral content is another easy measure.
AlkaZone Alkaline Booster can be added to your preferred water to raise the pH, and also to offset the acidity in coffee or tea.
AlkaZone Alkaline Booster supplies valuable minerals in the form of a colorless, odorless, and tasteless drop that can be added to water. By adding just 3-4 drops to a glass of water, you can increase the pH to about 8-10. The minerals can buffer acidity from metabolism in the body.
AlkaZone Alkaline Booster is made from organic potassium substances such as potassium bicarbonate, potassium lactate, potassium citrate and 79 trace minerals from marine deposits that have been amino acid (L-Carnitine) chelated for better absorption. It has no sodium!
More and more nutritional literature is counseling us about the benefits of alkaline balance. Some nutritionists have even come to the conclusion that one of the causes of bone loss may be lack of sufficient mineral buffering from food, which would cause the body to borrow calcium from the bones.

Every living cell within our body creates waste products. The nutrients from our food are delivered to each cell and they burn with oxygen to provide energy for us to live. The burned nutrients are the waste products. Whether you eat the best of foods or the worst, all foods generate waste products. Foods are classified as good or bad for you are based on the amount and quality of the waste products it produces. Most of our cells go through metabolism and these old dead cells also become waste products.
Our body will discharge this waste through urine and perspiration. Basically, all waste products are acidic, that is the reason for our skin and urine has a low pH. The real problem is that our body cannot get rid of 100% of the waste it produces. Our life style, such as lack of rest, types of foods we eat and our environment helps produce these waste products, but does not help us eliminate them.
These waste products become solid wastes, such as, cholesterol, fatty acid, kidney stones, etc, and, unknown to us they accumulate and build up somewhere within our body. This accumulation of non-disposed acidic wastes within our body accelerates the aging process. Drinking alkaline water helps our bodies acid wastes and makes it easier for the body to dispose of them. The accumulation of wastes accelerates the aging process; the reduction of acid wastes retards the aging process maybe even reversing it. Alkaline water is not a medicine to treat or cure any diseases but if consumed regularly, alkaline water reduces the acid wasted, allowing a natural health improvement.
In order to digest food and kill bacteria found in our foods, our stomach produces acid (pH of 4). When we intake alkaline water, the ph level the stomach rises. The stomach detects the alkaline water and commands itself to produce more acid, bringing the ph level back to 4. At first thought this seems counter productive. But once you understand how the stomach wall makes hydrochloric acid, the process becomes clear. The cells in the stomach must produce hydrochloric acid on an as needed basis. The ingredients to make the acid are carbon dioxide, water, sodium chloride or potassium chloride. The by-product of this acid is sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate that is delivered to the blood stream. These bicarbonates are the alkaline buffers that neutralize excess acids in the blood, as well as dissolving acid wastes. As our bodies age, and accumulate more acid waste, the natural alkaline buffers that are made cannot handle such a big job. That is where alkaline water comes into play. We need these alkaline buffers in our blood to help our cells from becoming too acidic and producing disease.
We all know that our body must maintain slightly alkaline to survive. Our blood ph level is 7.4 and the cellular fluid level is about 7.2. In spite of the fact that our cells produce acidic wastes constantly, our body fluids maintain an alkaline ph level to survive.
Our bodies work very hard to dispose of acidic waste. They are removed through urine and perspiration. Both of these have a low ph level. The acidic skin surface kills most germs and viruses that come in contact with it, even some AIDS viruses. Also when we exhale, releasing carbon dioxide, we are ridding of carbonic acid, which also causes acidic waste. With all the effort our body gives to the removal of acid waste, we still make more waste than our body can get rid of.
The secret is to convert some of the solid acid to liquid acid. (Liquid is easier for the body to dispose of) If a substance is not dissolved into water, it does not influence the ph level. Some types of solid acid are: cholesterol, fatty acid, kidney stones, etc.
Acid coagulates blood! This is the problem that comes from the accumulation of acid waste. Build of these acid wastes clogs your blood vessels and stops blood circulation. Our organs cannot function properly with out good blood flow to them. With out blood, our organs become mal-nourished and they begin to fail. Even Cancer cells are acidic, so that means cancer cannot grow in an alkaline environment. When phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid is created by the oxidation of nutrients, the strength of the acids are too strong for the body to handle. The body compensates by removing calcium from the bones. Well if you take the calcium from our bones, what are we using to hold ourselves up?That's why 1-4 Americans have Osteoporosis.
Why are some waters healthier than others?
People located in the Hunza Districts of Pakistan, Shin-Chan areas of China, the Caucasus in Azerbaijan, and in the Andes Mountains live longer with less health problems. Researchers believe that these waters are very pure and have a negative redox potential from either intimate contact with certain native volcanic materials/minerals or by cascading over certain igneous rocks. It is believed that Alkazone® water ionizers are able to produce better effect using advanced technology.
What is acidosis?
Every living cell within our body creates acidic waste products. The nutrients from our food are delivered to each cell and they burn with oxygen to provide energy for us to live. The burned nutrients are the waste products. Whether you eat the best of foods or the worst, all foods generate acidic waste products. Foods, when classified as good or bad, are based on the amount and quality of the waste products they produce. Most of our cells go through metabolism and these old dead cells become waste products.
Our body will discharge this waste through urine, feces and perspiration. Basically, all waste products are acidic and that is the reason our skin and urine often has a low pH level. The real problem is that our body does not get rid of 100% of the waste it produces. Our life style, such as lack of rest, types of foods we eat and our environment helps produce these waste products, but does not help us eliminate them. In the vast majority of Westerners, diets heavy in meat, fried foods, carbohydrates, soft drinks, and sweets build up acid salts in the body, as does stress and exposure to environmental pollutants.
What happens to those non-disposed acid wastes?
As they build up within our body, these waste products become solid wastes, such as cholesterol, fatty acid, kidney stones, etc. This accumulation of non-disposed acidic wastes is called acidosis. This condition accelerates the degeneration of cells, tissues, and the body as a whole. It accelerates the aging process. Drinking alkaline antioxidant water makes it easier for the body to dispose of acid wastes. Just as the accumulation of wastes accelerates the aging process, the reduction of acid wastes retards the aging process and perhaps - according to Sang Whang -- even reverses it. Alkaline antioxidant water is not a medicine to treat or cure any diseases but if consumed regularly, alkaline antioxidant water can reduces acid waste, allowing for a natural health improvement.
How do I know if I have acidosis or an acid-overloaded system?
Most Westerners do. The pace of life and the concentration of acid-producing items in our diet mean that the vast majority of people are overloaded.
You can use litmus (or pH) paper to test your urine or saliva and to give you some idea of your acidity. This is not foolproof, however, because your body is always attempting to balance your acid and alkaline levels and could well be getting rid of a load of acid at the time of the test. For more accurate results it is recommended to test at different times of the day and night.
Eating processed foods, chemicals, lack of gentle exercise and stress all create an acid buildup. There are a number of good books on how to become healthy on an alkaline diet. They also come with lists of acid and alkaline-producing foods.
Is it ok for children to drink ionised water?
Absolutely YES! - Even nursing infants. And since children have usually not accumulated toxins in their bodies, they experience no detoxification symptoms. (A few adults might).
Are there any cautions about drinking alkaline ionized water?
You should start slowly. Set the controls to the lowest alkaline level. Raise pH level step by step as your body adjust with new water. High levels of alkalinity -- up to 9.5 -- are best for drinking water; the 8.5 to 9.5 can be used for cooking.
In a few individuals, the detoxification effects from drinking alkaline ionized water can cause headaches and diarrhea for a short time. And for some older people, ionized water can tend, at first, to open the bowels. This is why a slow start is advised. Use the "Purified Water" setting for taking any medications that your doctor advises not to be taken with alkaline antioxidant water. Do not drink the acid water. Having said all of the above is aware that millions of Japanese have been drinking alkaline ionized water daily over the last 30 years. The water ionizer has been approved as a Medical Instrument by the government of Japan. In addition, test results on safety by the Welfare Ministry in Japan reveal no harmful influences on the body.
I am told that you claim a lemon will help to alkalize your body, but other people say the opposite. What's the truth?
This is all about a basic misconception most people have about food and its effect on the body.
It is true that if you plunge a pH meter into a lemon it will read as acid. But once you have consumed (burnt up/converted to energy/metabolized) a lemon, what is left is alkaline. It is what is left of all of our foods that determines our acid/alkaline balance, not the pH of the food we are about to consume. This is known as the 'ash' of a food.
After food has been completely burned up and converted to energy, the leftover minerals are what make up our mineral content and therefore our pH or acid/alkaline balance. Unfortunately many other factors affect our pH balance, including pollution, stress and our own body's metabolic wastes.
We are not "what we eat". We are what is left over after we eat.
Why should I remove chlorine from my drinking and bathing water?
Dr. Zoltan Rona, M.D. M.Sc. answers:
"Most people never give (the dangers of chlorine) a thought. After all, our elected public officials keep assuring us that chlorinated city tap water is completely safe for human consumption. Numerous scientific studies report that chlorinated tap water is a skin irritant and can be associated with rashes like eczema.
"Chlorinated water contains chemical compounds called trihalomethanes which are carcinogens resulting from the combination of chlorine with compounds in water. These chemicals, also known as organochlorides, do not degrade very well and are generally stored in the fatty tissues of the body (breast, other fatty areas, mother's milk, blood and semen). Organochlorides can cause mutations by altering DNA, suppress immune system function and interfere with the natural controls of cell growth.
"Chlorine has been documented to aggravate asthma. Several studies also link chlorine and chlorinated by-products to a greater incidence of bladder, breast and bowel cancer as well as malignant melanoma. One study even links the use of chlorinated tap water to congenital cardiac anomalies.
Anything you can do to filter tap and shower water that eliminates or minimizes chlorine would certainly be helpful and possibly curative for some immune system problems. The use of at source water filtration devices is increasingly popular and affordable. Discuss their use with your health care practitioner".

Can I store the water? How long?
Yes, alkaline ionized water is best kept in an airtight glass or quality plastic container which is poly carbonate bottle. It can be refrigerated or kept in a cool place. Avoid storage in metal, especially aluminum containers. The alkaline properties can be retained for up to 1-2 weeks in those special bottles, but alkaline antioxidant water is always strongest, freshest right after you get. The antioxidant properties start to diminish right after you get eventually. So for the best benefits, drink it within a day or so. If using plastic container, please use poly carbonate bottle. Bottled water is usually stored in cheap plastic that leaches chemicals.
Factors that affect how long the pH and ORP will be depend on heat, movement, type of container and light.
Can I cook with alkaline ionized water?
Yes, in fact your food will taste better and your body will assimilate the nutrients more readily. You will notice the difference especially at the most alkaline settings (higher pH): your greens will be greener, rice fluffier, tea and coffee tastier.
What is ORP?
ORP is "Oxidation Reduction Potential".
Potential energy is energy that is stored and ready to be put to work. It's not actually working, but we know that the energy is there and we can measure it. Another word for potential might be pressure. Blow up a balloon, and there is air pressure inside. As long as we keep the end tightly closed, the pressure remains as potential energy (when released it becomes kinetic energy). In electrical terms, potential energy can be measured. When we use the term "potential" in describing ORP, we are actually talking about electrical potential or the stored electrical tendency as expressed in voltage. In the case of ORP, this energy is measured in millivolts with an ORP meter. We are reading the very slight voltage in water which is actually measuring the presence of oxidizing and reducing agents, thus Oxidation Reduction "Potential". High pH water has more "reducing" agents (-ORP) and low pH water has more oxidizing agents (+ORP).
Normal tap water in the USA exits the tap at +200 to +600mv. Ionized water demonstrates the most health benefits with an ORP of -100mv or lower. This is what produces the "antioxidant" effect in the water through the creation of OH- or the negative hydroxyl ion.
A good negative ORP acts as a natural antioxidant and can more easily penetrate to the cellular level to heal the body by removing acidic toxins. When water becomes stagnant by staying in dams, pipes and bottles the ORP becomes very positive. When water bounces over rocks or a waterfall the ORP becomes negative. The ORP of mineral rich water from where the Hunza people live (for example) is very negative
