Water is a covalent compoud. It contains Hydrogen and Oxygen which are both nonmetals. Water is an example of a neutral oxide compound. Ionized water (created by adding a substance which alters the natural state of H2O) is more alkaline therefore helping the body be in a normal, slightly alkaline pH level.
This is good for us because there are so many pollutants in tap water and from other sources causing our bodies to reside in a level of acidic pH that is above its natural state, perhaps we need extra help in that area.
It has been stated by some that alkaline water is a way of increasing one's lifespan and decreasing the risk of cancer. Those who made these claims were neither doctors or scientists....
Our bodies get rid of acid by ehaling carbon dioxide. Therefore, if we breathe (as we all do) do we really need ionized (alkaline) water to help regain the acid/alkaline balance?
The health benefits of alkaline water is not supported by scientific evidence as yet so it is really a personal choice whether to go do this path or not. There are companies who manufacture products claiming to ionize your drinking water and you can also get your hands on an electrolysis machine which will do the same job. I should mention however that It may all be hype and gimmick as through my research on the subject I found a fact that may help you make the decision in a more informed way. Pure water cannot be ionized without a metal component. As mentioned earlier, water is made up of 2 nonmetals (hydrogen and oxygen) a metal component such as sodium, calcium or magnesium must be added for ionization to occur, therefore, creating an alkaline result.
In conclusion, i do not believe ionised water to be harmful in any way but it is yet to be proved that it is beneficial. In relation to keeping our kids additive free, ionized water would not be a problem.
Although, as i always say "read the label" of any product. If you decide to use alkaline water at home please read the ingredients carefully of any additives used to "ionize" your drinking water.
Thanks for visiting. I hope this was helpful. Stay tuned for more at additive-free-kids
