What is Water?

A water molecule,  H20, consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Acidic water is h2O. of clustered water.

H2O standing alone, the hydrogen atom contains one positive proton at its core, with one negative electron revolving around it in a three dimensional shell. Oxygen, on the other hand, contains eight protons in its nucleus with eight electrons revolving around it.

The single hydrogen electron and the eight electrons of oxygen are the key to the chemistry of life, because this is where hydrogen and oxygen atoms combine to form a water molecule, or split to form ions.

Hydrogen tends to ionize by losing its single electron and form single H+ ions, which are simply isolated protons since the hydrogen atom contains no neutrons. A Hydrogen bond occurs when the electron of a single hydrogen atom is shared with another electronegative atom such as oxygen that lacks an electron.


What is Micro Clustered Water?

Water molecules can come in clusters rather than single molecules. Tap water has very large clusters (10 to 13 molecules per cluster). De- clustered Lovebs Alkaline Water  reduces large water clusters from their original size into a  'Micro clusters' (5 to 6 molecules per cluster). The smaller cluster size gives the water excellent hydrating properties, high solubility and good permeability.


What is the difference between Micro Cluster Lovebs Alkaline Water and tap water or other bottled water brands?


Water pollution has become serious. Causes include pesticide, detergent , chloride, heavy metals and prescription medicines.  The  health department is aware of this and public water is chlorinated and fluoride is added. Since 1981, the death rate from cancer has ranked first in Japan. Especially, more people died of cancer in big cities, where high content of chloride in running water.

In addition to high-grade filtration, the Micro Cluster Lovebs Alkaline Water also reduce the 'macro clusters' found in tap water into 'micro clusters' that are absorbed more easily by the body. The Micro Clustered  Lovebs Alkaline Water,  Alkalizes the water turning it into a powerful anti-oxidant, improving immune functions and general health.
Most all other bottled water products do not provide you with micro clustering or alkaline pH water .
I realize that Lovebs Alkaline Water is better than tap water, but what about bottled water isn't it about the same?

Research  reveals that mineral waters have on ORP (Oxygen Reductive Potential - a measure of anti-oxidant potential) of only +200 mV, only slightly lower than the +400 mV measured for ordinary tap water. We can assert that at least mineral water is marginally better for you than tap water. Yet contrasted to any processed water for sale, Lovebs Alkaline Water with its reduction potential of -250 to -300 mV is beyond comparison due to its ability to scavenge active oxygen radicals.


What is electrolysis?
Filtered water passes into a chamber equipped with a platinum coated titanium electrode. Here is where the electrolysis takes place.

Cations, positive ions, gather at the negative electrodes creating cathodic or reduced water. Anions, negatively charged ions, gather at the positive electrode to make anodic or oxidized water.

By this electrolysis process the reduced water not only gain an excess amount of electrons (e-), but the H2O clusters are reduced in size from about 10 to 13 molecules per cluster to 5 to 6 molecules per cluster.



What minerals are acidic or alkaline?


Inorganic minerals are classified as either acidic, Chlorine, Sulfur and
Phosphor or alkaline , Calcium ,Sodium, Magnesium  and Potassium.


What are anti-oxidants and why do we need them?


Oxidation, which is a regular function of metabolism and cell function, strips an electron from certain molecules. These molecules ( called free radicals) then must steal an electron from a nearby molecule to repair themselves, which means that the nearby molecule must steal an electron from another molecule and on and on. This vicious oxidation cycle ends when an electron is taken from a molecule which has an excess electron to donate. These 'donor' molecules are called anti-oxidants and are provided by nature in Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Beta Carotene, Selenium etc.

In biological systems, removal or addition of an electron constitutes the most frequent mechanism of oxidation reduction reactions. These oxidation reduction reactions are frequently called redox reactions.

Researchers almost universally blame oxidation for premature aging and degenerative diseases.

Pollution, chemicals, food additives, pesticides, anti-biotics etc. are thought to dramatically accelerate the oxidation process, increasing the need for anti-oxidants. At the same time we are eating more refined foods which have had the vitamins and anti-oxidants removed or destroyed by processing. Most people take supplements to increase the amount of anti-oxidants that their body has available and studies have shown that people who regularly take large doses of Vitamins E and C, Beta Carotene, Grape Seed Extract. Alpha Lipoid Acid, and other supplements have much lower rates of heart disease, cancer and chronic degenerative diseases. Lovebs Alkaline Water provides an abundant, easily absorbed supply of anti-oxidants for the body.


Putrefaction sets in when microbes in the air invade the proteins, peptides, and amino acids of eggs, fish and meat. The result is an array of unpleasant substances:

• Hydrogen Sulfide
• Ammonia
• Histamines
• Indoles
• Phenols
• Scuttles

These substances are also produced naturally in the digestive tract, when we digest food, and result in the unpleasant odor evidenced in feces. Putrefaction of spoiled food is caused by microbes in the air; this natural process is duplicated in the digestive tract by intestinal microbes. All these waste products of digestion are pathogenic; this is, they can cause disease in the body. Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia are tissue toxins that can damage the liver. Histamines contribute to allergic disorders such as atopic dermatitis, urticaria (hives) and asthma. Indoles and phenols are considered carcinogenic.

Excessively offensive stools caused by the presence of toxins are indicators of certain diseases, and the body responds to the presence of these toxins by producing neutrophil leukocytes, which release active oxygen in an attempt to neutralize the damage to organs that can be caused by such waste products. But when an excess amount of such active oxygen is produced, it can damage healthy cells as well as neutralize toxins. This leads us to the conclusion that we can minimize the harmful effects of these active oxygen radicals by reducing them with an ample supply of electrons.
For our body to function and to maintain body temperature, we burn nutrients within our cells. The main ingredients of all foods, expensive or inexpensive, gourmet or junk, vegetable or meat, alkaline or acid, are either carbohydrates, proteins or fats. And they are nothing but the combinations of four elements: carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.

After these nutrients are burnt (oxidized) in the cells, they all turn into organic acids: carbonic acids, uric acids, lactic acids, fatty acids, ammonia, etc. Fats are acidic even before oxidation.

PH stands for 'Power of Hydrogen'. Water molecules are made up of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom (H2O). Hydrogen atoms are the smallest atoms an the universe, having only a single proton and a single electron. Hydrogen is estimated to form 90% or the matter in the universe.

Living things are extremely sensitive to pH and function best (with certain exceptions, such as different portions of the digestive tract) when solutions are nearly neutral. Most interior living matter (excluding the cell nucleus) has a pH of about 6.8.

Blood plasma and other fluids that surround the cells in the body have a pH of 7.2 to 7.45. A blood pH of 6.9 could induce coma and possibly death to the body. So the body possesses numerous special mechanisms to aid in stabilizing these fluids so that cells will not be subject to appreciable fluctuations in pH. Substances which serve as mechanisms to stabilize pH are called buffers. Buffers have the capacity to bond ions and remove them from solution whenever their concentration begins to rise. Conversely, buffers can release ions whenever their concentration begins to fall, thus helping to minimize the fluctuations in pH. This is an important function because many biochemical reactions normally occurring in living organisms either release or use up ions.

The degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution is measured in terms of a value known as pH, which is the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions (Hydrogen atoms that have been stripped of their electron). The higher the concentration of Hydrogen ions the more acidic the water is.

The opposite of this is molecules that contain a large concentration of hydroxide ions (molecules that have one or more extra electrons). This water is called alkaline. In Bio-Chemistry when a molecule has excess electrons it is called 'reduced' and when it has too few electrons it is called 'oxidized'.

Lovebs Alkaline Water readily donates its abundant electrons to render excessive free radicals harmless. so that they do not "steal" electrons from healthy living cells. Acid water is oxidized and steals electrons from nearby molecules. This gives it anti-bacterial and anti fungal properties.

The body needs both acidic and alkaline reactions, the acidic to rid itself of bacteria, fungus, viruses, pollutants, toxins etc. and the alkaline to cool, cleanse and restore the cells.

In Eastern thought the concepts of acid and alkaline have been closely linked to yin (acid) and yang (alkaline). The balance of these forces is considered to lead to good health. But the truth is most of the food in our modern diet is too acidic and produces an imbalance in the form of acidity in the body. The Macrobiotic diet urges that one eat alkaline (yang) food and avoid acidic (yin) food.

Another approach is to take anti-oxidant supplements (such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E) to reduce the free radicals and stop the excessive oxidation. Drinking Lovebs Alkaline Water is the best approach to solving this imbalance since it has an abundance of electrons to donate and it is easily absorbed into all cells and intra-cellular structures of the body.


How important is water for health?

70% of a human body's weight is water, and water content for an infant is more than 80%. A human body gets old from a lack of water (literally dries up). More than half of the water content of a human body remains in the cells, but does not remain there unmoved. That's why the water quality is a decisive factor for a good health.

Every day a grown-up needs 2.5 liters of water, of which drinking water is about one liter, water from food is an additional liter, and metabolism in the body generates 0.5 liter of water. A grown-up excretes about 2.5 liters of water every day, among which urea is 1.5 liters, defecation contains 0.1 liter of water, sweat is 0.5 liter, water in breathing out is 0.4 liter. Water fed in and water excreted out is basically in balance. A human body drinks more water in hot days in summer and after sports, and excretes more.

Actually the body needs nourishing food, exercise, abundant water, and clean air every day to maintain health. These correspond to the four elements of earth, fire, water and air that the ancient mystics identified as the constituent elements of the human body. We need all four to be healthy. Most people overlook the need for an abundant supply of pure water and fresh air, emphasizing only diet and exercise.

Does Lovebs Alkaline Water slow down the aging process?
Bad diet, currently or previously, can cause acid waste  to be stored in the body. A meat and potato diet, for example, can cause the body to become more acidic. When acid wastes enter the bloodstream, the blood, in order to maintain it's narrow pH range, will store them somewhere else. Acid salts stored in the body, over the decades, will overburden the system. A way has to be found to rid the body of wastes.

The body uses the blood system to dispose of wastes; these are removed in liquid form, and are often deposited in the lungs and kidneys. If there are too many wastes to handle, they are deposited at various organ systems, like the heart, the pancreas, the liver, the colon, and other locations. Sometimes these wastes are deposited on the walls of arteries, and over the years can spread throughout the body.

The breakdown of this disposal process, especially of acid wastes, is what we call the aging process. In order to slow down and reverse this process, one must begin removing acid waste from the body.

The best way I have found to do this is to drink Lovebs Alkaline Water. This water, having a pH of between 7.4  and 7.5, will first neutralize harmful stored acid wastes, and if  consumed  daily, will gently flush them from your body. Because the water is ionized, it will not leach out valuable alkaline minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, or sodium.

How much water should I drink every day?

Doctors say at least 8 glasses per day.  Less water is needed when drinking Lovebs Alkaline water.  The body becomes quickly hydrated and  with 3-5 glasses a day.
What is too much alkaline in my system?

Doctors say it's difficult for someone to be too alkaline, but it's a fact that most of us are acidic and therefore require higher alkaline level water for the body to adjust to our ideal alkaline pH level.  Lovebs Water is a safe 7.4-7.5 pH an ideal level for drinking water which matches pure spring or glacial water.
What should the ideal pH level be?

Between 7.4 – 7.5 ph levels for drinking Lovebs Alkaline water transforms  all liquid it comes in contact with and is often called, "living water" or a catalyst.
How long does the Lovebs Alkaline Water last?

Lovebs Alkaline Water may be stored in or out of refrigeration  providing it is placed in a contaminate free container.  Lovebs 3.oz Beads remain active up to 1000 Gallons. Lovebs   Water  acts as a catalist to the water around it transforming it to an alkaline pH if the cap is off, contaminants will escape from the top. Refrigerated Lovebs  Water needs to be capped. Once regrrigerated it will not continue as a catalist.

The Food and Drug Administration has not established a shelf life for bottled water. Bottled water can be stored indefinitely if it is kept in the proper environment. Bottled water should be kept in a dry place out of direct sunlight and stored at room temperature or cooler. Bottled water should also be kept away from toxic chemicals, such as cleaning agents, solvents or gasoline.
