The amount of water in the human body ranges from 50 - 75% so it makes good sense that we consume the highest quality of water that we possibly can. Unfortunately, what comes out of our taps is often seriously compromised. Even the cleanest water in our taps contains pesticides, heavy metals, fluoride, chloramines, chlorine and an increasingly alarming amount of pharmaceutical residues, all of which can compromise our health and result in unpleasant chemical tastes and odors. Water purifiers and ionizers have been around for decades and many people have used these technologies to drink better water without having to rely on bottled water, which is not only costly but puts a serious burden on our landfill sites. Drinking clean, alkaline and H2 enriched water can provide many health benefits and helps provide relief for ailments such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, psoriasis and even asthma. photo of MinuchaMinucha Colborne is an 83-year-old woman with a history of respiratory challenges. After 15 years of working as a professional potter, she found that the clay and glazes compromised her lungs and left her literally breathless. “Eventually, one day I walked out of the studio and found I could not catch my breath,” says Colborne. “I was really in bad shape.” After consulting her doctor, who wanted to put her on steroids, Colborne chose a different route and temporarily went on a raw food diet eating only raw vegetables and growing trays of wheatgrass and buckwheat sprouts. “The alkaline diet opened up my lungs immediately. I’ve maintained an alkaline way of life, ever since.” A big part of that alkaline way of life is drinking alkaline water that she gets from water ionizers. She was so convinced of their value that Colborne started working for Best Water, the Canadian company that sells the water purification systems and after a decade on the job continues to be exuberantly enthusiastic about drinking purified alkaline water. “I couldn’t sell it if I didn’t personally benefit from it and think it was a good thing,” she says. Best Water is a family owned company located in the heart of Edmonton – their name says it all. They have been selling water purification systems and ionizers for over 25 years. “We are proud of our water experts that keep our company on the cutting edge of water technologies,” says owner Mike Crowley. “We love keeping our customers informed so that they enjoy the best and cleanest drinking water possible.” Colborne is one of those water experts and she points to how the water revolution is now all about the new H2 ionizers such as the UltraStream by Alkway. “It’s not only about what UltraStream takes out,” she says explaining that the system has eight layers of filtration ensuring ultimate water purity, “it’s about what it puts in that makes it so powerful – hydrogen infused water providing the body with powerful ‘on tap’ antioxidant negative ions in every glass.” Antioxidants, Antioxidants, as we know, are a powerful cleanser for the body. The H2 ionizers also help to alkalize the body and that provides good results for a number of conditions including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. Now science has jumped on board and through The Molecular Hydrogen Foundation, there are many studies that verify the positive anecdotal evidence about the benefits of drinking H2 infused water that many users continue to report. “Science is now behind it on such a high level touting the many benefits that people are getting,” says Colbourne. “Even my eyesight has improved.” Anti-aging is just one of the benefits of drinking H2 ionized water and if Colbourne is any example, we are definitely convinced.
