Benefits of Drinking Alkaline Water

Here at Alka Pure Water store, we make the best water that you can possibly find for your health – Alkaline Water.

Natural alkaline water is water with the presence of dissolved minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium. The basic benefit of alkaline water is to reverse acidic conditions of the body.

When the body is acidic, essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals, are depleted faster. Bacteria can breed faster. This leads to infections, sickness and an overall strain to the immune system. Alkaline water is believed to restore the body’s natural PH. Keeping the blood more alkaline is believed to be a factor in making bones denser and stronger.

This simply means that Alkaline Water improves your health by leveling out your PH levels.  There are great Benefits of drinking alkaline water.

It gives your more energy, makes you age less and nourishes your body with essential minerals.

Benefits of Drinking Pure Water

We have the best purified water in town.

Our water is absolutely pure, and doesn’t contain any harmful minerals or substances. It even tastes better than any “natural spring” bottled water. It doesn’t cost much either.

We need to drink a lot of water daily to maintain our bodies. We literally consist of mostly water. Have you ever heard the expression: “you are what you eat”? Well, in reality, it is more like this: “you are what you drink and eat”. Wouldn’t you want to ensure that you are getting the best drinking water for you and your family? Some people might say: “but we already buy bottled water at the supermarket”. Of course that is an improvement over the tap water, but you should know all the facts about bottled water industry and their purity standards before you buy into the bottled water myth.

The fact is, the only way you know you are truly getting purified water are in facilities like ours. We have a very elaborate 12 stage reverse osmosis filtering system that takes out all the contaminants found tap and bottled water. Another benefit is knowing that our water is not sitting in warehouses for many months before it is even sent to grocery stores. This is true whether you purchase bottled water or have water delivered to your home. The longer water stays in plastic the more chance of your water being contaminated by toxins found in plastics.

The price of our water is very affordable and we sell it by the gallon to keep it that way. You can bring your own container rinse your containers and fill them inside the store or our outside vending machine.

If you are interested in more information, head over to our Blog where you will find more articles regarding the water quality and ways to live healthy and happy lives.

In addition to our purified water, we make Alkaline Water. If you are looking to not only rid your drinking supply of poisonous agents, but also greatly improve your health, then this kind of enriched water is for you. Check out these facts about Alkaline water.

How our Alkaline Water is made?

1. After the purification of water using reverse osmosis, we are left with laboratory grade clean water eliminating
contaminants like herbicides, pesticides, fluoride, etc.
2. The water will spin through a vortex and pass through neodymium magnets. This process will break down the
water molecules into smaller clusters and reorganize the molecules into a hexagonal pattern. Water becomes
more BIOAVAILABLE, meaning it will penetrate through the cell walls more effectively. Restructuring the water
will
increase plant growth by up to 30%. The water will continuously flow through the system, never stagnant.
3. The water is further improved by naturally reintroducing over 70 trace minerals and increasing levels of
hydrogen & oxygen, with the use of 11 different additions to the water system.
a. Calcium Carbonate Media – helps elevate PH in water
b. Far Infrared Mineral Balls
c. Prills (white ceramic mineral balls) adds magnesium oxide to water
d. Tourmaline ceramics
e. Coral Calcium (origin: Okinawa, Japan) – infuses over 70 trace minerals
f. Elite Shungite (rare stone) – “works against pollutants, free radicals, harmful germs, & shields from
electromagnetic fields -powerlines, cellphones, microwaves; contains all minerals in mineral table
g. Qelby Ceramics (ancient colony of microbes from volcanic ore encapsulated in clay) – the microorganisms survive extreme conditions and temperatures; help in digestion of food and absorption of nutrients
improving your immune system and reducing inflammation.
h. Laminar Crystal Orbs (embedded in 24k edible gold and mica crystals) this amplifies the electromagnetic
field in water allowing it to attract more hydrogen from the atmosphere aiding in stabilizing the hydrogen for
a longer period of time in the water.
i. Lithos Lepidolite (ancient earth minerals; 50 trace minerals, found at 3 geologic fractures of earth’s
uppermost layers located in southwestern united states) not coming in contact directly with the water but
contained in glass vials; carries a powerful geologic and energetic imprint. brings molecular structure to
water and activates ormus. Based on “The Hidden Messages in Water”, water has memory and its quality is
affected by whatever it comes in contact.
j. Paramagnetic Sand (a blend of paramagnetic sand, magnetite, quartz, & mica encased in glass vials)
spins elements in the water, becoming tiny vortexes gathering and transmitting energy. Generates strong
magnetic field that brings structure to the water. AKA Ormus Water or Magnetite Enhanced Ormus Water (MEOW)
k. UMH Diamond Vortex (24K gold-plated, High-quality lead free brass vortex; constructed according to phi
ratio; fitted with 24 gemstones and crystals) the silicon dioxide it contains helps remove aluminum-associated with development of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Multiple Sclerosis. The double helix flow pattern creates a highly sustainable energy field that influences the molecular structure of the water.
By drinking our alkaline water, you are getting highly structured spring water with over 70 trace minerals that help
with cell recovery and detoxification: water with the energy and life-giving properties.

We also carry John Ellis water that can further improve any water it is added to. You can drink it straight, but all you need is one ounce per gallon. The machine will redistill the water 100 times per gallon weakening the hydrogen bond angle from 104 to 114 permanently. The weakened state of the hydrogen bonds allows the oxygen
coming from the lungs to be released into the cells more easily. When oxygen enters the cells, disease is stopped
and cells repair.

Below is a more detailed explanation of how we achieve a higher PH in the water using natural earth element to make the water alkaline: What differentiates how we make our water alkaline versus multiple electrolysis machined in the market is we use natural elements to achieve a higher PH plus we return over 70 trace minerals along with the restructuring of the water molecules. (Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This reaction takes place in a unit called an electrolyzer)

Stage 1:- Water travels through a pre- one micron filter pad to further remove
suspended particles such as silt, sediment, cyst, dirt, sand, rust and other
undissolved matter.
Stages 2-3: Water travels through a special blend of calcium carbonate media that
will alkalize/ionize and re-mineralize the water and will produce natural calcium,
magnesium and potassium ions that can be absorbed 100% by the human body.
People who suffer from insomnia, fatigue, loss of hair, depression, diabetes , High
blood pressure, asthma, decayed teeth , PMS, migraines, and heart disease are
normally lacking in these essential minerals.
These two stages produce and prevent the following:
Large quantities of hydrogen and oxygen
Alkali Calcium Ionized Water
More energy and higher metabolism rate
Prevents reproduction of germs and viruses
Helps the body dissolve waste in order to dispose of toxins
Stages 4 and 5: Water travels through a special blend of infrared, white ceramic mineral balls and tourmaline ceramic balls. The mixture of these natural ceramics and mineral balls combine to emit Far Infrared Rays (FIR).
FIR causes resonance with water molecules. This specialized movement of water molecules causes ionization of water into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions at an extremely high speed. This is where the term “ water activation” comes from. This of course Ionizes and activates water molecules in our cells and blood thus improving our circulation and overall health. Magnetic waves reduce the size of the water molecule clusters. This in turn improves water absorption into our cells and increasing oxygen and energy.
Tourmaline is a natural mineral composed of Hematite, a special mineral related to our metabolism. It is also a natural source of negative Ions and Far Infrared Rays.
The type of FIR tourmaline emits causes the body to resonate at the same frequency as water to allowing for better water absorption. Also tourmaline reduces water clustering, improves taste and increases dissolved oxygen.
Following: Is a even more detailed explanation of the benefits of this unique formulation of our Purified Alkaline Water @ Water & Salt and further effects of Far Infrared Rays on the human body.
— Activates water molecules in the body

– Strengthens various organs within the body
– Slows down the aging process – Energizes water while supplying superior hydration – Improves the oxygen level in the body – Smoothens the flow of blood
and reduce fat, chemicals and toxins in the blood – Reduces toxicity from the

body – Reduces the acidic level in the body – Improves the nervous system
functionality – Improves oxygen levels in our body
The resonance causes ionization of water into hydrogen ion and hydroxide ions at
an extremely high speed (10-12 sec). This ionization is called “water activation.” If
such activation of water occurs in human cellular tissues, the metabolism of cells
and excretion of residues from cells or nutrition are enhanced. Water makes up the
70% of mass of the human body. Infra-Red and mineral balls is able to activate,
revitalize, reactivate, develop and strengthen various organs in our bodies when it is
absorbed.
In the various organs of the human body, the circulatory system plays an important
role, especially in the micro-circulatory system. When there are problems with the
micro-circulatory system, various ailments will occur. Infra-Red and mineral
balls vibrating at a frequency similar to that of the human body are able to penetrate
the body activates cells and reactivates as well as strengthens the micro-circulatory
systems. It regulates the blood flow and blood in the blood vessels, which have

been blocked due to blood clots and at the same time reactivate the vital energy in
the body.
Elevation of the immunity of our bodies against diseases is another benefit of Infra-
Red–waves. This is part of the effects of the improvement in the micro-circulatory
system and metabolism of the body. It helps to slow down the aging process,
increase resistance against diseases and increases longevity.
Infra-Red causes resonance with water molecules. It ionizes and activates water
molecules in our cells and blood thus improving our blood circulation and health
condition.
Far-infra-red are also used in:
•    Prevention of bacteria growth
•    Relief of pain
•    Softening of hard water
•    Eliminating bad odors in water
•    Strengthening and health improvement
•    Speeding up repair of body cells
•    Balancing of acid level in the body
•    Normalization of blood cholesterol

•    Preventing molding
•    Enhancing and maintain freshness
•    Helping plants to grow better
There is no age limit for using this product. It can be used from the day you are born
and throughout life. There are no side effects of exposure to Infra-Red. The real
effects can be measured in improved stamina, health and overall good living.
Stage 6: water flows through a post one – micron filter pad (1 micron equals
1/25,000th of an inch), which remove suspended particles such as silt, sediment,
cyst (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), sand, rust, dirt, and other undissolved matter.

Our goal is to produce the best water for human consumption.

Pure Water Benefits

Did you know that drinking Pure Water benefits your health and general well-being?  Purified drinking water minimizes the accidental exposure to toxins because it undergoes several processes that would make the water safe to drink. The water passes through purified water technology that can filter out harmful contaminants such as

Chlorine, Chloramines, Flouride, Pesticides, Insecticides, Lead, Arsenic, Heavy Metals, Hydrogen Sulfide, Dirt sediment and other odors.

Scientific studies have linked chlorinated water to potentially harmful by-products that can over time contribute to such health threatening conditions such as cancer of the bladder, liver,stomach and colon. Heart disease, high blood pressure, allergies have also been linked with chlorine.

Purified water is water that is mechanically filtered or processed to be cleaned for consumption.

Distilled water and deionized (DI) water have been the most common forms of purified water, but water can also be purified by other processes including reverse osmosis, carbon filtration, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, ultraviolet oxidation, or electrodialysis.

In recent decades, a combination of the above processes have come into use to produce water of such high purity that its trace contaminants are measured in parts per billion (ppb) or parts per trillion (ppt).

Here at Alka Pure Water we use a 12 stage Reverse Osmosis System to Purify our Water.

Purified water has many uses, largely in science and engineering laboratories and industries, and is produced in a range of purities. Purified water in colloquial English can also refer to water which has been treated (“rendered potable”) to neutralize, but not necessarily remove contaminants considered harmful to humans or animals.

 

How To Choose The Right Size Of A Salt Lamp

When buying Salt Lamps, invariably a question comes up: “How to choose the right size of a Salt Lamp?”

So here is our recommendation:

The biggest differentiating factor of a salt lamp is its weight. Typically, the heavier the lamp, the bigger it is, and the broader its ionization properties. The bigger the room, the bigger the lamp should be. Let it be known, however, that in addition to size determining the efficiency of ionization, so does the number of lamps. Spreading multiple proper-sized lamps throughout a room will yield the most positive effect, as this will keep the ion flow in the air the most balanced and effective. Below you will find the weights of salt lamps that the Himalayan Salt Shop sells with their respective protection areas:

 

4-5 lbs. salt lamp — 8×8 sq. feet (work cubicle)

 

6-8 lbs. salt lamp — 10×10 sq. feet (small bedroom)

 

9-11 lbs. salt lamp — 12×12 sq. feet (large bedroom)

 

13-17 lbs. salt lamp — 14×14 sq. feet (living room)

 

30-40 lbs. salt lamp — 20×20 sq. feet (recreational room)

 

40-50 lbs. salt lamp — 30×30 sq. feet (joined rooms & commercial spaces)

 

Alkaline Water Benefits

There are many Alkaline Water benefits that can improve your health greatly. Here is a list of common health conditions that can be alleviated by switching to Alkaline Water and to a more Alkaline diet.

RELIEVES ACID: If you’re already suffering from excess acid, you know how serious it can be. The way you eat, sleep and live your life can be greatly affected, and it can seem like gobbling antacids is the only way to get through the day. Naturally extinguish heartburn, with natural alkaline water.

ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ACID: The discomfort that heartburn, indigestion and reflux cause is easy to spot, but the damage goes deeper. This article talks in-depth about what acid can do to your health, causing effects like high blood pressure, bone loss, premature aging, kidney wasting, poor digestion, mood swings and fatigue. To avoid these unfortunate consequences, an alkaline diet is your body’s best friend.

ACID AND PREGNANCY: Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but the symptoms that often accompany it can make for an uncomfortable nine months if you’re not prepared. With natural alkalinity that helps combat the indigestion and heartburn pregnancy can bring, drinking evamor regularly can soothe the stomach. And since it’s 100% natural, mothers concerned with putting only the purest foods into their bodies will find comfort in more ways than one.

THE MODERN AMERICAN DIET: Today’s life is chaotic and the modern American diet is just as chaotic. Instead of balanced, nutritious meals, we grab for anything fast and filling—and it’s our health that suffers. Fried, fatty or highly processed foods cause acid imbalance, but when you regularly drink alkapurewater its natural alkalinity can help keep things in check. Here are some examples of the foods alkapurewater keeps in check: pizza, chilis, ice cream, spicy foods and hamburgers.

THE ALKALINE DIET: You can get you on the right track, but to enjoy all the benefits that a proper body pH balance has to offer, an alkaline diet is the best way to go. By making a few simple changes in your approach to eating, you can help your body to be stronger, slimmer and less susceptible to illness.

Alkaline diet

An alkaline has to do with the highlighting of alkaline foods such as whole fruits and vegetables and certain whole grains, which are low in caloric density. Healthy Alkaline Foods involve the balancing between acidic foods and alkaline foods.

The body includes a number of organ systems that work at getting rid of excess acidity, but there is a limit to how much acidity even a healthy body can cope with effectively. The body is capable of maintaining an acid-alkaline balance as long as the organs are functioning properly. As long as a well-balanced alkaline diet is being consumed, and we eliminate certain things like cigarette smoking, high consumption of processed foods and sugars we can maintain a healthy balance.

How many Americans today follow a healthy diet and regularly engage in other health-promoting activites?

The standard American diet is highly acid-forming, overwhelming the body’s mechanisms for removing excess acid. The staples of the American diet are meat, dairy, corn, wheat, and refined sugars (all acidifying foods). And although these things are not entirely bad in themselves many of these foods are not real anymore and are highly processed. Also most animals do not consume a healthy diet in commercial factory settings. Thus accounting of sick animals who also do not maintain a acid-alkaline balance. At the same time most individuals diets are notably deficient in alkalizing fruits and vegetables.

The alkaline diet greatly reduces this acid load, helping to reduce the strain on the body’s acid-detoxification systems, such as the kidneys.

Here is a list of Alkaline Foods, especially High Alkaline Foods

Alkalizing Vegetables:

Beets, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumber, Kale, Lettuce, Onions, Peas, Peppers, Spinach

Alkalizing Fruits:

Apple, Banana, Berries, Cantaloupe, Grapes, Melon, Lemon, Orange, Peach, Pear, Watermelon

Alkalizing Proteins:

Almonds, Chestnuts, Tofu

Alkalizing Spices:

Cinnamon, Curry, Ginger, Mustard, Sea Salt

Note: a food’s acid or alkaline forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. Although it might seem that citrus fruits would have an acidifying effect on the body, the citric acid they contain actually has an alkalizing effect in the system.  We understand that in the environment and world that we all live in sometimes it is impossible to always eat healthy but there are things we can add to our diet that will help counter all unhealthy choices that we make at times.

Is Tap Water Safe To Drink?

If you and your family drink tap water often, then this article is going to be an eye-opener.   You might catch yourself asking a sudden question: “Is tap water safe to drink?”   Are you aware of all the potential dangers you expose yourself to when drinking municipal tap water?

Here’s 10 reasons why you should NEVER drink tap water again:

1. Roughly 10% of all the water we drink has been used before; there’s no such thing as NEW tap water!

2. Municipal water plants use chlorine to disinfect water during the treatment process. And when it eventually gets to your home, it still contains high levels of chlorine and chlorine byproducts (THMs). In fact, EPA guidelines allow up to 4 parts per million (ppm) of chlorine to be used in the disinfection of public water supplies; a standard pool kit states that using more than 3ppm of chlorine is not even safe to swim in!

3. “Cancer risk among people that drink tap water with chlorine is as much as 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine” – U.S. Council of Environmental Quality

4. It’s been determined by the Ralph Nader Research Group that U.S. drinking water contains more than 2,100 toxic chemicals that can cause cancer. Water utilities only test for about 75 of them.

5. Over 90% of all U.S. water systems contain traces of at least 10 synthetic chemicals and lead.

6. “Lead is the #1 environmental health threat to our children.” – U.S. EPA

7. The EPA estimates that over 98% of all homes have fixtures, pipes, or solder joints in household plumbing that can leave trace amounts of lead in tap water. Even low levels of lead can cause reduced IQ levels, learning disabilities, and behavioral problems such as hypertension and attention span disorders in children.

8. When you drink tap water, without using an effective and reliable filtration system, you’re forcing your kidneys and liver to filter out all the iron, chlorine, synthetic chemicals, and other contaminants.

9. Researchers from the U.S. EPA and the National Geological Survey have found antibiotics, birth control drugs, anti-depressants, and even caffeine in many water samples from across the country.

10. Seeing that only about 1% of the water supplied to our homes is used for consumption, it’s not even logical for municipal plants to completely filter all the water that goes through it.

We hope this article helped you decide if tap water is safe to drink.
