Learn About pH, ORP, and Their Effects on Your Body

The human body contains both acids and bases. The body maintains the pH of blood between 7.35 and 7.45. The pH level of the urine varies, so Doctors often measure urine pH to evaluate the pH level of the body. Low urine pH has been associated with Metabolic Syndrome, the symptoms of which are:

Amazing but true! According to Low Urine pH: A Novel Feature of Metabolic Syndrome, A difference of less than1pH in your urine may determine whether or not you will suffer from the symptoms of metabolic syndrome!

“Participants with the metabolic syndrome had a significantly lower 24-h urine pH compared with participants without the metabolic syndrome. Mean 24-h urine pH, adjusted for age, gender, creatinine clearance, and 24-h urine sulfate, decreased from 6.15, 6.10, 5.99, 5.85, to 5.69 with increasing number of metabolic syndrome abnormalities”. – (2007 Maalouf, et al pg 1, paragraph 3)

If you think you may be affected by metabolic syndrome, talk to your doctor.

Oxidation is caused by positively charged particles called radicals. These radicals are energetically unstable particles that grab electrons from wherever they can to neutralize their unstable charge. In your body, they grab those electrons from DNA and tissues. Not good!

Negatively charged water contains excess electrons which it readily gives to unstable radicals. This process stabilizes the radical.

A 2008 Study of on 10 popular brands of bottled water conducted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found disinfection byproducts, fertilizer residue, and pain medication in all of them.

• Some bottled waters are nothing more than filtered tap water.
• Bottled mineral waters may contain high levels of sodium
• Reverse osmosis – used to “purify” some bottled water – strips essential minerals from water. (N.A. Environmental Working Group)

• Savings: Bottled water costs up to 1900% more than tap water
• Purity: LIFE Ionizers custom pre-filtration purifies your water before it is ionized
• Convenience: Going to the store for bottled water becomes a thing of the past!
• Taste: Raising the pH of water with a water ionizer has been shown to improve taste
• You can finance a water ionizer for less than you may be paying for bottled water!

• According to the FDA: “bottled water plants generally are assigned low priority for inspection”
• The FDA monitors bottled waters for impurities, but does not monitor pH levels.
• Bottled water companies are not required to disclose to the public how they treat their water, or what contaminants have been found in it.
• The FDA allows fluoride to be added to bottled water (N.A. FDA)
