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
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.
