Does your drinking water have ORP working for you?
First of all you may be wondering what ORP even stands for. Oxidation Reduction Potential or ORP, is a measurement in milli-volts of strength that indicates whether a solution is oxidizing or reducing. A positive value for ORP indicates that the solution is oxidizing. Conversely, the negative ORP means a solution is deoxidzing.
So what does ORP have to do with me? We can see examples of oxidation on a daily basis. Oxidation occurs at different speeds and often signals deterioration. When we see iron rusting, or a slice of fruit turning brown, we are seeing oxidation in action. We now know that oxidation involves an exchange of electrons between atoms. When an atom loses an electron is said to be oxidized. When an atom gains an electron it is said to be reduced. In picking up an extra electron, a whole range of problems can happen when it happens to our water. And why you may be asking? It does frequently happen to our water, and we drink it.
Oxidizing foods and their health implications
The consumption of oxidized water and foods affects our health unfavorably. Oxidizing substances alter the chemical characteristics of our body fluids. Many processed foods and beverages are highly oxidized.
Unfortunately, some of our most prized foods and the worst for you (the most oxidizing) include alcohol, coffee, soda, processed meat, and cheese. Getting on a cycle of clean eating that is rich in vitamins and nutrients can be very hard. Coming clean from an acidic diet is an uphill battle when even our water is attributing to our health problems.
When water becomes oxidized it is essentially acting in the same way as a free radical, binding to cell structures and deteriorating. How can we combat this?
Fighting with alkalinity
The addition reducing foods to one's diet fights off these effects. A surplus of negative hydrogen ions, which are especially high in organically grown fruits and vegetables, fight and balance oxidizing free radicals.
ORP value varies widely between the foods and beverages. To avoid oxidizing your body internally as much as possible, best practice is to drink and east substances with the highest negative ORP values possible. Alkaline ionized water, like that from the Bawell Premier offers the richest ORP substance available. Water from an alkaline water ionizer has ORP values many times more negative that fruits and vegetables.
