Believe it or not, most bottled water is acidic. Dasani and Aquafina are both about a 5.5 pH, which is about 10,000 times more acidic than your own blood. Dasani and Aquafina use reverse osmosis and distillation to purify your drinking water. This removes all of the contaminants but it also removes the alkaline minerals, oxygen, and antioxidants from your drinking water. If you drink acidic water for too long, it will leach minerals from your bones, and it will increase cellular stress, which is the measurement of the free radicals bouncing around your cells and doing damage to them.
Spring water tends to be neutral. So it is healthier to drink than purified water. Also, tap water in the US tends to be slightly acidic or neutral or even slightly alkaline. So when you filter your tap water with a carbon filter, you are still drinking water that isn’t too acidic, so it’s much better to drink than purified waters. Just don’t purify your tap water with reverse osmosis or distillation, otherwise the pH of your water will drop to 5.5 just like Dasani and Aquafina.
The best water to drink is alkaline water because, if water is alkaline, it has minerals to give to your body. Also an alkaline chemical structure is a smaller chemical structure than the purified water chemical structure.Aan alkaline chemical structure is more easily absorbed by our cells, so you are better hydrated by alkaline water.
But even alkaline water isn’t natural water. If you test water from the most pristine springs and glacial streams in the world, you’ll find that the water is alkaline but it is also full of antioxidants called hydroxyl ions. These hydroxyl ions are formed when ions from the Sun combine with the hydrogen in water. The only way to get antioxidants in your water is exposing that water to an energy source like the Sun or like water electrolysis created in a water ionizer.
In reality, most Americans are not able to live next to a glacial stream or a pristine spring. So the only way for them to get purified, alkaline, and ionized water is by getting a water ionizer like the EOS Genesis platinum water ionizer. So the answer to the question: What is the healthiest water to drink? is alkaline ionized water. And if you get an EOS water ionizer, you will get premium alkaline ionized water for only about two cents a litre.
To your health!
