Fluoride and Water Ionizers

06-21-2010

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of 2002 almost 60% of the U.S. population receives fluoridated water through the taps in their homes. Some places have naturally occurring fluoride while other places have it added. The reason fluoride is added to drinking water is because studies have shown that fluoride helps tooth decay. However, the topical treatment of tooth decay by fluoride seems to be the reason for this, not the ingestion of fluoride. ...

 

Alkalife Drops and Alkaline Water

06-21-2010

The foods and drinks popular in society today are highly acid producing. In addition to our diets contributing to acid waste in our bodies, stress and other factors are also a problem. A body high in acid wastes is called acidosis. Acidosis is a problem because it essentially suffocates our healthy cells. As the oxygen is depleted, those healthy cells decay and become perfect places for disease to reside. This is why having acidosis often leads to degenerative diseases such as Cancer, Diabetes, Osteoporosis, and Cardiovascular disease. Another problem with acidosis is that it speeds up the aging process. ...

 

The Danger of Plastic Bottles

06-30-2010

While water bottles are a way of getting your daily dose of water in a convenient way, they are not only costly to your wallet, but to your health as well. Bottled water can come in different shapes and sizes and use different types of plastics. There are seven types of plastics, six of them used for bottling water. Number six is a plastic that is used in Styrofoam, and not used in the making of water bottles. You can find out what type of plastic is being used by referring to the bottom of the container where a number denotes what type of plastic is used. Knowing what kind of plastic is being used to hold your water allows you to make healthy and environmentally friendly choices. The problem with plastic water bottles is that not enough research has been done. Many reports and researchers have stated that plastic is bad for you, while others say it will do no harm. So what are you to believe? The best way to know what is good and bad for you is to be informed. Here we will go over each type of plastic and its dangers. ...

 

Soda v/s Alkaline Water

06-30-2010

There are three main problems with consuming soda everyday, or even fairly often for that matter; acid pH, sugar content (both natural and artificial) and caffeine content.

 

For just one soda, the pH is about 2.5. This makes soda the most acidic beverage you can drink. To give an idea of just how acidic soda is, battery acid has a pH of 1. The pH level of soda is almost the same as vinegar, but you don’t see children and adults craving a glass of vinegar with lunch. This acidic pH causes the erosion of bones and teeth, similar to how acid rusts metal. The more soda you drink, the more calcium is leached from your bones. This causes weak bones and can lead to Osteoporosis, as well as cause younger children to have 3-4 times the risk of fractures and breaks. Tooth loss, periodontal disease and gingivitis can also be caused by drinking soda. We don’t notice the acid content because the sugar content hides it. ...

 

Acidic Well Water

07-01-2010

Although many people get their water from a city source, there are quite a few who get their water from private wells. Conveniently, private wells allow you direct access to your water. Instead of the water companies maintaining control, you personally are able to inspect and control your water and its contaminants. One major problem of well water is acidity. Water is acidic when the pH level goes below 7. When the pH level is above 7, the water is considered basic, or alkaline. Alkaline water is much better than acid water because of its benefits to your health as well as your pipes. ...

 

Anti Aging and Alkaline Water

07-03-2010

Wrinkles, memory loss, decreased brain function, health ailments and that feeling that you’re just getting older are all symptoms of aging. Aging today has become a focused curiosity for almost everyone. Aging is one of the few things every person has in common, and the sense of self preservation is what keeps us all looking for the fountain of youth; a way to slow time down or even stop it, and gain some control over the aging process. ...

 

Hard Water and Reverse Osmosis

07-05-2010

That dry itchy feeling you get when you hop out of your shower, that’s from hard water. The soap residue on your sink fixtures and bathtub basins, that’s from hard water. Fading of clothes in the laundry, and spotted dishes from the dishwasher, are all from hard water. Hard water is a problem in over 85% of the United States. Water is considered “hard” when there is a high concentration of dissolved minerals. Of all these minerals, the most prevalent are calcium and magnesium. While hard water doesn’t pose any serious health threat, it does pose the problem of destroying pipes as well as making all processes involving water more difficult than they need to be. In fact, the good thing about hard water is that when it is very hard, it can help contribute to the daily doses of calcium and magnesium. ...

 

High ph Water

07-05-2010

pH is the term used to measure the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. At 7, the pH level is considered neutral. At 0 to 7, pH is called acidic and from 7 to 14, pH is called basic. The neutral property of water is what makes water so important for sustaining life. Due to its being neutral on a pH scale, water is capable of being moved in and out of the body without causing a change in chemical balance. Despite water generally being neutral, some water can be either acidic or basic in pH, which can cause problems. Basic pH levels are considered high alkaline, meaning it has a higher buffer capacity. A higher buffer capacity means a better chance at keeping things at a neutral level. ...

 

Acidic Water and Plants

07-06-2010

Plants and human life have always been beneficial to each other. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and release oxygen while humans breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. In this way, people and plants help one another. That’s not the only way plants and humans can co-exist and help one another though. Respiration is only one thing plants and humans have in common. Another commonality we have with plants is nutritional consumption. For both plants and humans, water consumption is a life and death necessity. Just like respiration though, plants and humans differ greatly on the kind of water they need. ...
