What Happens To Your Body When You Drink Alkaline Water

Alkaline Water BenefitsFor years now, alkaline water has been a secret for a particular sect of individuals within the health-conscious community, but as the organic food movement has crept into mainstream markets and the country is embracing healthier diets and lifestyles (thanks in part to the initiatives of the White House), this ionized water is becoming more popular.

You may be asking yourself, how is ionized water different from plain tap water or any other bottled water for that matter?  If you have been curious about what alkaline water is exactly and how it can change your health for the better, then look no further because we have all the answers!

Benefits of Alkaline Water

Here are a few facts about and benefits of alkaline water.

Hydrates on a cellular level

When the water is ionized, it is broken down into micro clusters that allow the cells of the body to absorb it more easily, thus “super hydrating” the body. When the body is hydrated properly by ionized water, cells can regenerate adequately and slow the process of aging by protecting against free radicals that can cause cell damage.

Acts as an antioxidant

Alkaline water has the ability to give up electrons, and it is because of this characteristic that ionized water is able to seek out free radicals that can be damaging to the body and convert them into oxygen to be used for the body to produce energy and tissue oxygenation. Antioxidants are known for this very process of “seeking and neutralizing” free radicals, but now instead of eating a piece of fruit, you can drink your way to a healthier you.
