Q1. If you drink alkaline ionized water, won’t all stomach acid be neutralized?
The acid/alkalinity of a substance is usually expressed as a number from 1 to 14, called pH. The pH of alkaline ionized water most suitable for drinking is 8, and the pH of stomach acid is about 2. This means that, theoretically, the alkalinity of alkaline ionized water is about 1/100,000,000, and the acidity of stomach acid is 1/100. In other words, stomach acid is 10000000 times more concentrated than 30000000 liters of alkaline ionized water. In order to neutralize the stomach acid secreted by an average of 3 liters per day, you need to drink 1000 times that amount, or 3000 liters of alkaline ionized water. Therefore, there is no need to worry that alkaline ionized water will neutralize stomach acid. Alkaline ionized water is just healthy water that contains minerals that are beneficial to the human body the more you eat alkaline foods such as spinach and seaweed. People who do not know the basics of mathematics or chemistry say that drinking alkaline ionized water dilutes gastric juice and makes stomach movements dull.
Q2. If I drink alkaline ionized water, won’t my body be overly alkalized?
Alkaline ionized water is alkaline because of dissolved minerals. Our body has a buffer system that maintains normal pH no matter how much acidic or alkaline substances come in. (Phosphate-based buffering device, bicarbonate-based buffering device) No matter how much alkaline ionized water you drink, your body will not be overly alkalized. Rather, it is the acidification of body fluids that poses a health problem. Due to adult diseases such as diabetes and kidney disease, a lot of acidic waste products accumulate in the body, and when the body fluid is acidified to 6.8, death may occur.
Q3. What is the optimal pH for our body?
The inside of our human body is slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.35 to 7.45 and the surface of the skin is slightly acidic with a pH of about 4.5 to 5.8. Therefore, it is recommended to use alkaline ionized water for drinking and acidic ionized water for washing and applying.
Q4. What kind of water should I take when taking medicine?
Depending on the medicine, if you take it with alkaline ionized water, the absorption may be too fast or the effectiveness of the medicine may be reduced due to the combination of minerals and active ingredients. Therefore, when taking medicine, it is recommended to use water of stage 0 (no electrolysis, only purified water).
Q5. I have a constitution that swells up even when I drink only water. Can I drink alkaline ionized water?
of course.
There is no particular disease, but the constitution that swells even when drinking only water is mostly due to poor water absorption, circulation, excretion, and systemic water metabolism. When these people are not feeling well, even if they drink just a cup of water, they are not excreted and stay in the body, causing edema. However, since alkaline ionized water is absorbed, circulated, and excreted quickly, it does not cause swelling as easily as ordinary water. If the edema is very severe, do not drink a lot of water at once, but rather divide it into several times.
Q6. Can I give my newborn baby to drink alkaline ionized water?
of course. If you feed a newborn baby with milk mixed with 1st level alkaline ionized water, the feces will turn golden and there will be no minor illnesses. In general, breastfed babies have stronger immunity than breastfed babies, so they are less likely to get sick. According to a study in Japan, babies who were given formula with alkaline water maintained almost the same health status as breastfed babies.
Q7. I’m afraid to drink water because I’m cold.
When a person with a cold or weak constitution suddenly drinks a lot of cold water, it often causes abdominal pain. Boiled water or water with low mineral content is especially prone to this phenomenon.
Alkaline ionized water does not cause gastrointestinal disorders like other waters, so people with cold or weak constitutions can drink it safely. However, it is recommended that such people do not drink a large amount of cold water from the beginning, and drink room temperature ionized water frequently in small amounts, gradually lowering the temperature of the water and increasing the amount they drink. (Ideal water temperature is 4℃)
Q8. How much water should you drink per day?
Some say 2 liters per day for adults, and others say 30 ml per 1 kg of body weight. However, medically, the amount of water consumed per day is not precisely prescribed. Since the main function of water is to excrete body waste, it varies from person to person. For example, after strenuous exercise or after drinking alcohol, you will drink more water to flush out waste. Therefore, it is recommended to drink at least 2 liters of water per day and drink more water depending on the situation. People with chronic illnesses, those who drink and smoke, those who are constantly exposed to pollutants in the city, and those who eat a lot of processed foods should consciously drink plenty of water on a daily basis.
Q9. Alkaline ionized water sometimes floats white suspended matter.
When the mineral content in tap water is relatively high or the water pressure is low, undissolved calcium is floating. In this case, to protect the electrolyzer, perform
Q10. White precipitate at the bottom of the alkaline ionized water…
It is a precipitate of calcium formed when soaked for a long time. Wipe with acidic ionized water or vinegar to clean well.
