After drinking alkaline ionized water for about 25 years I actually feel healthier today than I did when I was in my 40’s or even in my 20's! When you drink ionized water you improve your chances to live a long and healthy life.

When I originally wrote this article I had just turned 61. Now I'm 67.5 and still continue to be 100% healthy. That's not 90% or even 95%. It's 100% (or maybe 99.99999%). I can't say that about my health even when I was a child or in my teens, or any time throughout my life up to the time I started drinking ionized water. Longevity and good health of course go hand-in-hand, and in my experience, these are both related to the water we drink.

People I see often compliment me on how young I look. This was not always the case either. When I was 40 I was over-weight and had ear infections, throat irritations, and colds or other illnesses which the doctor said were just all related to allergies.

Over the years I've noticed that people (including myself) attribute illness to not-quite-correct things. When I was growing up a lot of my ideas were that things like genetics, pollen, viruses and germs were to blame (for instance for my allergies). Then when in my 20's and 30's, and raising my own children, I thought susceptibility to colds, flu, viruses, and allergies were due to some lack in diet or nutrition. This was the phase of my life when I'd go to the health food store a lot and look up various remedies. Whereas there might be some credibility to these claims, in truth I have found when your body is super healthy you don't get ill.

So, how is it that such a simple and natural thing, as ionized water, can contribute to making one's body so super-healthy and resistant to disease? There are two key issues in the body that alkaline ionized water helps to fix.

Getting rid of acidic wastes

Alkaline ionized water helps to clean all of the cells in your body of their acid wastes. If you don't clear out acidic wastes regularly it will come back to hit you.

Think about it this way: What if you lived in a town that had no trash service. Everyone just kept their garbage and it built up in piles around their houses. Soon everyone in that town would become diseased and some would even die.

And so it goes with a body. If the cells are loaded down with acidic wastes they can't get rid of, there will be a depression of the immune system. This might present itself mildly at first (like allergies or colds), but then when a new strain of bacteria, or particularly vicious virus, such as the coronavirus or some other "cause", comes along you are far more likely to get ill or even die than you would be if your immune system weren't so stressed. The true source is the fact that the person's defenses have become weak; do you see?

Getting the antioxidants your cells need

Ionized water also gives you molecular hydrogen, which is the smallest and most natural antioxidant on earth. The power of molecular hydrogen as a free-radical scavenger has been proven in hundreds and thousands of studies in the past ten years. Molecular hydrogen is unique and no other antioxidant has its strength and ability to heal the body.

• Molecular hydrogen is proven to lower oxidative stress in thousands of studies.
• Molecular hydrogen reduces inflammation, which is often cited as the cause to many diseases.
• Molecular hydrogen is so tiny there is no barrier that can stop it.
• Molecular hydrogen is so safe it can be given to a baby.
• Molecular hydrogen is the only natural substance that can enter the cells and heal the mitochondria and DNA.
• Molecular hydrogen is selective. In other words it doesn't mess with the already properly functioning cells. It has the ability to either be utilized where needed or evaporate.

Please Note: Viruses, like the coronavirus, attack the RNA in vulnerable (already unhealthy) cells, and so tend to do the most harm in the most vulnerable people. But, no matter how healthy we are, we still need to all disinfect like mad and stay away from crowds until the coronavirus has run its course. The reason for this is to protect those who are not as healthy.
