Can you really reverse ageing with alkaline water


All of us have studied about the human body during the biology lecture at school and therefore are aware that the human body majorly consists of water. However, one interesting fact you might not be aware of is that the water content in our body decreases with age. As children, we’ve about 90% water in our body which decreases to about 70% during our adulthood and subsequently, drops to 60% during the old age. It’s not difficult at all to infer from these statistics that ageing is linked to the drop in water content in our body!

Due to such evidence, scientists claim that by consuming a good amount of water daily, you can always look fit and young. However, it’s not the ordinary water that can help you in your pursuit to defy age. Since the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the body always needs to remain slightly negative, an alkaline diet can only benefit you. Spring water or packaged mineral water possesses positive ORP. However, water from an alkaline water system has slightly negative ORP.
Keeping aside the anti-ageing qualities, ionized water benefits the human body in a lot of other ways too. By oxidizing the free radical, it helps in detoxifying the body. Since a lot of body fat is nothing but the toxins that accumulate and add to the fatty mass, you can reduce body mass by consuming lots of alkaline water from the best water filters and thereby making sure that all the toxins are washed away from your body.

  1. I had no idea that water ionizers created negative ORP. Does it really make that much of a difference?
