  • Water aids in digestion, and helps to alleviate constipation
  • In many religions, water symbolizes Purity
  • Water is one of the five elements (the others being metal, wood, fire and earth)
  • It’s recommended that you drink 7-8 cups per day
  • Approximately 70% of the earth’s surface totaling 326 million cubic miles is covered with water. Humans can use only about 3/10’s of a % of this water. Such usable water is found in groundwater aquifers, rivers, and freshwater lakes, and glaciers
  • The earth is a closed system, similar to a terrarium, meaning that it rarely loses or gains extra matter. The same water that existed on the earth millions of years ago is still present today since before dinosaurs existed
  • A water molecule can spend 3,200 years in the ocean before going through the water cycle and up to 10,000 years in deep-underground caves

We need Filtered Water?

  • There are more the 2100 known drinking water contaminates, which means it may be in our regular tap water
  • The only way to ensure pure, contaminant-free drinking water is through the use of a point-of-use filtration system
  • Clean, healthy drinking water is essential to a child's proper mental and physical development. Contaminated water can cause birth defects in pregnant women as well
  • In developing countries, the leading cause of epidemic diseases is due to drinking impure, contaminated water
  • Water filters provide better tasting and better smelling drinking water by removing chlorine and bacterial contaminants
  • Pre-Cautions and Hazards of having too much Clorine in daily water use

Don’t We Need the Minerals in Our Water?

There are two forms of minerals: inorganic and organic. Inorganic minerals refer to non-vegetable or non-animal matter, i.e. not living. These include calcium, iron, and magnesium found in water including natural spring water you drink from top leading name brands in the world today. Since these components are non-living, our bodies find it difficult to make use of these minerals and our cells reject them. The result of ingesting too much inorganic minerals is an accumulation of debris in our bodies.

Organic minerals on the other hand are living, and are found in foods like vegetables, fruits, grains, meats and nuts which form our daily diet. These minerals are assimilated by our cells and are essential for good health. Over 95% of minerals ingested daily come from food and less than 5% from water. If you rely on water as a source of your required minerals, you will lack substantial essential minerals that your body needs.

For your daily mineralization and vitamins, there are greater intake needs you can look forward to our future YYOUNG Mineral & Vitamin Water coming your way!

The Benefits of Ionized Water

The basics of pH / ORP alteration in ionized water and the benefits

Ionization alters water in two significant and measurable ways: pH and ORP. These alterations to water are what make it very different from other waters you may drink.

pH

pH stands for "potential hydrogen" and is a measurement that provides an indication of the level of hydrogen in a substance. It is measured by the pH scale. Proper body pH is an important factor in good health.

ORP

The other way an ionizer alters the water is in ORP. This stands for Oxidation Reduction Potential. Most leading water researchers from Asia agree that in ionized water the elevated pH is good, but that ORP is more important. Alteration to the ORP is what causes the micro clustering, antioxidant and oxygenating effects.

ORP is a "potential" energy that is stored and ready to be put to work. It's not necessarily working, but we know that the energy is there and we can measure it. Another way to look at this potential might be to look at pressure. If you blow up a balloon, there is air pressure inside. As long as the balloon is closed, the pressure remains and can be measured. When released, this Potential energy becomes kinetic energy.

In electrical terms, potential energy can be measured. When we use the term "potential" in describing ORP, we are actually talking about electrical potential as expressed in millivolts. This potential is measured in water with an ORP meter. What you measure is the very slight voltage in water. We are actually measuring the presence of oxidizing or reducing agents by their specific electrical charge, thus Oxidation Reduction "Potential". High pH water has More "reducing" agents (-ORP) and low pH water has more oxidizing agents (+ORP).

Oxidation is what turns an apple brown after it is cut or causes metal to rust. Rust weakens metal and signifies the deterioration of the apple. The process of oxidation "steals" electrons from the surface being oxidized. When we measure a something’s oxidizing potential, it is expressed in +ORP and measures the concentration of ions or oxidizing agents.

A "reducing" agent is simply something that inhibits or slows the process of oxidation. The reducing agent does this by "donating" an electron. When we measure a solution's oxidation reduction potential, it is expressed in terms of ORP and measures the concentration of ions or reducing agents. In its most basic form a reducing agent is an "antioxidant"

The Benefits of Alkaline Water

Alkaline water has the power of restoring health, youth and balance to your body. Our human body needs to be in the alkaline side to resist disease and function normally. However, our modern eating habits and stressful lifestyle pushes our pH below 7.3 into the acidic side. As a result, our body tries counter this by generating alkaline body fluid of pH8.8 from the pancreases as the peak. By drinking alkaline water, we can easily help our body to maintain body fluid at pH7.3 according to the homeostasis function.

It also has the following amazing properties

  • Normal large water clusters break into smaller clusters. Smaller water clusters help your body to be more efficient at absorbing nutrients and flushing more toxic waste out of your system.
  • Water ionizer causes the normal minerals in the water to become more activated. Activated minerals are much better absorbed in the body. A variety of minerals found in water are necessary to help our bodies to functioning properly.
  • Control bad bacteria in organs and increase beneficial bacteria to prevent disease. There are 100 kinds of bacteria and trillion of micro-organisms living in the large intestine.
  • Oxidation Reduction Potential - help neutralize free radicals or active oxygen and fights aging and disease.
  • Abundant Hexagonal Water works better with the body. The ionizer breaks down the normal water clusters of 13 molecules and turns them into smaller super hydrating clusters of 6, which help prevent diseases.

Frequently heard expression

BPA

Bisphenol A: is a chemical used to make hard plastic toys, bottles, baby bottles and other various products. It also is the major building block in Polycarbonate plastic (Plastics with the number 7 on the bottom of the container). Recent animal studies theorize the chemical may be linked to obesity, infertility and insulin-resistance in rodents. Conversely, the plastics industry vigorously defends the chemical, noting it has been used widely for 50 years. There have been numerous studies showing that BPA is dangerous to our bodies hormone levels, and lingers in our bodies for a long period of time. Even though studies have not proven fully that it is harmful to our health, in there is just too much cause and concern to put ourselves at risk and Health Canada has recently put a ban to BPA bottles. It is not our position to tell consumers what they should or shouldn't use as their water container, only to offer an alternative if they do not wish to use a number 7 plastic bottle.
Here at YYoung Water, we are preventing the cause of future health issues!

We at YYOUNG Water follow Health Canada and CFIA’s guidelines and regulations very closely for any sudden changes.

We encourage you to do your own research concerning BPA to make an informed decision. A good start would be searching Bisphenol A, www.wikipedia.com
