What Is Ionized Water?
Ionized water provides a rich source of antioxidants that assist in neutralizing free radicals in the bloodstream. Ionized water has undergone a process known as electrolysis, most commonly using a water ionizer. This process separates normal tap water into two streams, one alkaline and the other acidic. Both Alkaline Ionized Water and Acidic Ionized Water have a wide range of heath related uses.
Ionized water has been used in hospitals and medical clinics in Japan for almost 40 years. Water is the body's first and last line of defence against infection and disease so it makes sense to drink the right kind of water, Ionized Water.

What Are Free Radicals?
Free radicals are a necessary part of life, without them human life could not exist. Free Radicals play an important role in many biological processes, for example the immune system purposefully creates free radicles to attack viruses and bacteria. However, diet, pollution, cigarette smoke and medication produce unhealthy levels of free radicals, a state known as oxidative stress, that can easily overwhelm the body's natural ability to cope with them.
Free radicals are oxidants, they oxidise human cells. The result is premature aging, cancer and many other serious diseases. The body's defence is antioxidants which neutralize free radicles thus protecting cells, organs and DNA from damage.

What Are Antioxidants?
Antioxidants are capable of counteracting oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals. As such, antioxidants are suspected of playing an important role in the prevention of chronic diseases that include: Cancer, Heart Disease, Stroke, Alzheimer's Disease, and Diabetes.
The quality the water we drink has a direct effect on our health, quality of life and how well we cope with the aging process. Ideally the water we drink should also be alkaline to help balance our pH levels and flush acids from the body. The drinking water produced by Chanson Water Ionisers is both alkaline and antioxidant rich making it the perfect health drink.

What Is pH?
pH (potential of Hydrogen) is a measurement of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. pH is measured on a scale of 0 (highly acidic) to 14 (highly alkaline). pH 7 is considered neutral and indicates that a solution contains balanced levels of alkaline molecules and acidic molecules.
When it comes to human body chemistry, doctors and nutritionists strongly affirm that maintaining an optimum pH balance is a crucial factor in maintaining good health and fighting disease. Everything we eat and drink impacts our body's pH balance, and our body's pH controls the every metabolic function that keeps us alive.

What Is Acidosis?
Over-acidification of the body is a serious global problem. Stress, poor diet and lack of exercise have created a world society struggling with acidosis and the problems it brings.
Maintaining healthy blood pH in the range of 7.35-7.45 is essential to ensure that the right amount of oxygen is delivered to tissues and sustain the biological processes that work to keep us alive.
If left unchecked, excess acid gets dumped into our organs including the heart, liver, colon and even the brain and accelerates the ageing process.
