It was first used for agriculture in Japan. After spotting the superior quality of crops, the Japanese realized that human health could be elevated by drinking it. It was given the name – the japanese word for ‘return to origin’.
After formulating an ionizing process in the 1990s, the water was able to be used for drinking and other domestic purposes. It is rich in minerals and has a very palatable taste. It even serves as a natural vitamin supplement. Research has proved that the water is able to decrease acidic levels in the human body.
It has undergone stringent testing. The pH levels read between 8.5 and 11. It is does not have any ORP (oxidizing reduction potential). This fact makes this water a potent antioxidant. As such, it not only reduces acid levels, but it eradicates accumulated free radicals and other toxins.
When these dangerous elements are eliminated, the body is able to return to an optimal state of health. With pollutants everywhere, people are constantly exposed to dangerous UV radiation, fumes, and electromagnetic forces. These all result in a buildup of harmful waste in the body. Stress is also responsible for causing a build-up of poisonous free radicals.
Free radicals are cells (molecular and atomic) that have inconsistent electrons which cause unstable chemical processes in the body. In fact, research has established that about 70 percent of diseases are the result of free radicals, especially cancers and diabetes. Furthermore, they accelerate aging.
The water has astringent properties that keep the skin healthy by gently removing excess sebum and dirt. It also acts as an effective hair conditioner and it works as a useful antiseptic for abrasions, wounds and cuts. It’s also a great mouthwash after teeth-brushing. Soaking in a hot bath of this water can heal fungus infections, insect bites, athlete’s foot, and rashes.
In the kitchen, it can be used as a detergent to clean appliances, cutting boards and dish cloths. Stubborn stains on the toilet can be easily removed due to its powerful rate of absorption. Even freshly cut flowers will last longer when placed in a vase of it.
If regularly consumed, the water can have numerous health benefits and prevent a number of illnesses. To derive maximum effects, it should form part of a nutritious diet, regular exercise, and a healthy lifestyle. Japan is often called ‘the nation of longevity’ so maybe water filters are yet another one of their ‘secrets’.
