#Healthydrinkingwater
The best drinking water is sourced from picturesque natural mountain springs or glacial streams. You certainly don’t get these types of natural locations on every doorstep. But if you are looking for the best healthy drinking water, you can’t go far wrong with the H2O from these sources, or anything similar.
That’s because certain natural alkaline waters have special properties that make them extremely restorative for the human body. Properties that make them the best healthy drinking water in the world.
Where our diet is concerned, natural is always best. And the same applies when it comes to the drinking water we choose to put inside our body. There is nothing more healthy and nourishing to drink than natural alkaline meltwater from a glacial stream or spring.
Water from these sources is exposed to unique conditions that suffuse it with natural restorative properties that can lessen the chances of disease and illness when consumed on a daily basis. The most important property in such a healthy drinking water are their high antioxidant content. That’s right, water can be packed with antioxidants! And it gains them from a special process involving an abundant source – the sun. As the water flows over and between rocks or ice in a glacial stream or spring, it is exposed to the rays of the sun. These rays energise the water and promote the appearance of something called hydroxyl ions in the water. It is these ions that give the water its antioxidant qualities, and its alkalinity, too.
The human body loves antioxidants. In fact, they are essential to nearly all living cells, whether it is a skin cell, a brain cell, or the cells on the skin of a banana. This is because of a natural process called oxidation. As you read this, the oxidation process is continuing inside your cells, and it does so 24/7. The process of oxidation concerns the renewal of cells through the metabolization of oxygen. Just think about how the flesh of a banana turns brown, or a cut on your skin becomes raw and inflamed. This happens because oxygen is interacting with these cells – or any other cells in your body – in the oxidation process. This produces some type of change in those cells. They may die, such as with rotting fruit. In the case of cut skin, dead cells are replaced in time by fresh, new cells, resulting in a healed cut.
The problem is this birth and death of cells through oxidation doesn’t work how it should 100% of the time. In 1 or 2% of metabolisms, the process goes wrong and something called free radicals are produced. These damaging molecules are unstable because they are missing electrons, and will damage other cells to get them. The cell damage that free radicals inflict can be the onset for disease, as when cells are damaged (but not destroyed), they grow abnormally and also reproduce abnormally.
The good thing about antioxidants is that they neutralize free radicals by giving them the electrons they are hunting for. It is the hydroxyl ions in natural alkaline water that are responsible for this, so when a water is packed with them, it is a very healthy drinking water.
With the ability to neutralize free radicals and protect the body from disease and sickness, antioxidant-rich alkaline water is something that we all should be drinking a lot more of.
But we can’t all go out and find a glacial stream or spring to stock up on water supplies. Of course we can’t. Knowing this, we need to be looking for the best alternative. And the closest thing to natural alkaline water is ionized water.
Ionized water is what is produced by a water ionizer machine that can be installed in your home. These devices produce the same antioxidant-packed, alkaline water that flows naturally in the wild.
