As you may know when electrons are removed from a cell, oxidation takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water with a more&nbsp;positive ORP&nbsp;has the \u201cpotential to&nbsp;oxidize a solution with a lower ORP\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, water with a positive ORP\u00a0<em>steals<\/em>\u00a0electrons from a chemical species with an ORP below it and vice versa, water with a negative ORP \u201cdonates\u201d its electrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving its electrons away like that means it becomes oxidized itself but in passing them to free radicals it neutralizes them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, the&nbsp;<strong>more negative ORP<\/strong>&nbsp;value the&nbsp;<em>more antioxidant properties&nbsp;the water<\/em> has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Alkaline Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Alkaline Spring Water (Bottled)<\/li><li>Ionized Alkaline Water<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these are marketed as \u201calkaline water\u201d but what does this really mean? What are the differences and pros\/cons of each?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alkaline Spring Water \u2013 Dr. Sebi Recommended<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In many of the videos found online, Dr. Sebi frequently mentions spring water as being the only true source of water suitable for consumption in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Claiming that because only nature has had a hand in purifying it, it has the right minerals, is naturally alkaline and is therefore safe to drink. He would sometimes recommend Glacier Mountain Spring Water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, these days there are numerous brands of bottled spring water to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f3e2b0\">Make sure you buy spring water that has been&nbsp;<strong>bottled at source.<\/strong><br><br>This means that the water has literally been bottled at or near the spring which it comes from, and&nbsp;is not processed or pumped through miles of pipelines becoming polluted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n    <div id=\"aawp-tb-3513\">\n\n        <!-- Desktop -->\n        <div class=\"aawp-tb aawp-tb--desktop aawp-tb--cols-4\">\n\n            \n                \n                <div class=\"aawp-tb__row\">\n\n                    <div class=\"aawp-tb__head\">\n                                            <\/div>\n\n                    \n                        \n                        \n                            <div class=\"aawp-tb-product-0 aawp-tb__data aawp-tb__data--type-thumb\">\n                                                                <div class=\"aawp-tb-product-data-thumb\"><span class=\"aawp-tb-thumb\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31ihFrn9UfL._SL160_.jpg);\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sebiguide.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/aawp\/public\/assets\/img\/thumb-spacer.png\" alt=\"Alkalife Ten Alkaline Spring Water\" \/><\/span><\/div>                            <\/div>\n\n                        \n                    \n                        \n                        \n                            <div class=\"aawp-tb-product-1 aawp-tb__data aawp-tb__data--type-thumb\">\n                                                                <div class=\"aawp-tb-product-data-thumb\"><span class=\"aawp-tb-thumb\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/415GyWJmhPL._SL160_.jpg);\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sebiguide.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/aawp\/public\/assets\/img\/thumb-spacer.png\" alt=\"SAKA Alkaline Water ; 6 Pack 50.7 Fl.

href=\"http:\/\/shrsl.com\/2jcfb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">water ionizer machines<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These connect to your tap and alkalize water by separating the acidic and alkaline components of the water in a process called electrolysis.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do ionizers work?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ionizers works by using a negatively charged electrode (cathode) and a positively charged electrode (anode).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The acidic hydrogen ions (H+) are attracted to the cathode while the hydroxide (OH-) are attracted to the anode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The H+ ions are converted into molecular hydrogen (H2), meaning that the overall number of H+ goes down. When we have less H+ we have a higher pH (more alkalinity).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These devices are by no means cheap, though if you weigh in the cost of bottled water for the whole family you will save money in the long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Higher negative -ORP, therefore increased antioxidant potential<\/li><li>Expensive upfront but money-saving in the long-term<\/li><li>Better for the environment (not using plastic bottles)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_7d6da9-bd, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_7d6da9-bd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_7d6da9-bd\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_7d6da9-bd mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_7d6da9-bd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_7d6da9-bd\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h4 class=\"kt-adv-heading_7d6da9-bd wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_7d6da9-bd\">Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You\u2019re still consuming tap water, albeit tap water with higher alkalinity.<\/li><li>Mineral content is unnatural (if using municipal tap water)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes down to it, being the only true source of water with natural alkalinity and mineral content,\u00a0spring water\u00a0is the\u00a0preferred choice for drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while ionized water may in some instances have a more optimal ORP value as well as being technically alkaline on the pH scale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could argue that because the source water does not contain the correct minerals (and no amount of \u201cionization\u201d can change that), drinking it is not on par with spring water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately the decision comes down to personal preference, budget and circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a family to support, bottled water may not be an option, in which case&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/shrsl.com\/2jcfb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ionizers<\/a>&nbsp;can be worth it \u2013 &nbsp;especially if you supplement their use by occasionally drinking bottled spring water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/food-nutrition\/alkaline-water-benefits-risks<br>https:\/\/www.precisionnutrition.com\/alkaline-water-legit-or-hoax<br>https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Water_purification<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If we are what we eat, surely the same can be said for what we drink?
