ALKALINE ANTIOXIDANT WATER

There are many types of drinking water in the market to choose from. Each of them has their distinctive qualities as shown below:

Note: Ionized Water consumption is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Please consult your physician for further information and specialised medical advice.

Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL) is a calculated value based on 5 nutrient values in food which may affect the acidity and alkalinity of the body. It is a simple measurement to access the effect of foods on the body pH.

PRAL scores is calculated based on the following equation, PRAL = 0.49 Protein + 0.037 Phosphorus – 0.021 Potassium – 0.026 Magnesium – 0.013 Calcium. If PRAL scores of our diets is highly positive, this would probably indicates that we are chronically in a state of high acidity.

PRAL Scores Table serves as a general guide to alkalizing and acidifying foods and the assessment of dietary effects on acid and alkaline balance. Food with a negative values (milliequivalents per 100g) has an alkaline effect,whereas food with a positive values has an acidic effect.

Do you know?

Popular soft drink has a pH value as low as 2.5!

For every unit change in pH, there is a 10 times change in magnitude. For eg. pH 8 is 10 times more acidic than pH 9!

As the saying goes, “We Are What We Eat”. Other than making the right food choices, we need to take into consideration a more important element which we often neglect – The intake of water.

More recently, people begin to appreciate Alkaline Antioxidant Water as a better choice of water. Apart from exercising and keeping a well-balanced diet, make HydroPlus Alkaline Antioxidant Water a part of your healthy lifestyle today!

A healthy body is mild alkaline with a pH level of 7.35 to 7.45. A slight acidic blood pH, on the other hand, may hence pose some health concerns. Therefore, it is crucial that we maintain at the healthy pH level in

order for our body to function properly. However, as we grow older, our chemical and physiological pH balancing mechanisms begin to deteriorate. Compounded by our acid-forming modern diets and

lifestyles which increase the acidic waste accumulation in the body, we are exposed to a higher risk of developing an overall acidic pH profile, which may compromise our well-being.

OUR BODY IS ALKALINE BY DESIGN & ACIDIC BY FUNCTION

Q: What will happen to my body if it is too acidic?

A: Acidosis is the condition whereby there is an increased acidity in the blood. Acidosis is said to occur when blood pH falls below 7.35 while counterpart alkalosis occurs at pH over 7.45. As the acidic content increase in our body, this acid will be stored in the fats cell. Attempt to neutralise the excess acid by our body naturally will cause damages to our vital organs and bones.

Q: What types of food will help to alkalize your body?

A: You should pay more attention to your diet since it is the main factor, which contributes to the change of pH level in the body. In order to alkalize your body, you are required to take food that is alkalizing. One should avoid processed food (canned food), eat more vegetables and to avoid red meats and limit the amount of poultry consumed. Another simple solution is to drink alkalized water, which can helps to neutralise excess acidic in our body in order to maintain a healthy pH balance in the body.

Q: What can Alkaline Anti-oxidant Water do to help our body?

A: Alkaline Anti-oxidant Water is able to produce alkaline water, which helps to neutralise the excess acids in our body. On top of that, its high stable oxygen (O2) content promotes better digestive system and blood circulation. Alkaline Anti-oxidant Water has negative oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) reading, which implies the presence of antioxidant properties to reduce free radical attacks in our body. Moreover, smaller water molecule cluster size further provides better hydration throughout the body.

Q: How to improve the overall wellness of your body?

A: An overall approach to wellness could be achieved by going smoke-free, cutting down on liquor and having sufficient sleep. Having a proper balanced diet does play an important role in maintaining a healthy body pH level. However by drinking Alkaline Anti-oxidant Water, it provides a more effective alternative to getting elements we need for a healthy body and a healthy life.

Q: Can our body heal by itself naturally?

A: In the past, the amount of natural antioxidant produced was sufficient to defend the free radical attack. However this natural antioxidant created might not be sufficient to cater to the increase of free radicals produced in today’s world (E.g. Lifestyle, Pollution). Furthermore due to our diet and lifestyle, there is an increase in the acidic wastes stored in our body which disrupt the normal pH balance of a healthy body.

Water constitutes an intrinsic part of our daily life and we cannot survive without it. In fact, all the cell and organ functions made up in our entire anatomy and physiology depend on water for their functioning. That is the reason why we are encouraged to drink at least 8 glasses (≈ 2 litres) of water daily. About 70% of the human body is made up of water. A mere 2% drop in our body's water supply can trigger signs of dehydration. Mild dehydration is also one of the most common causes of daytime fatigue.

Drinking water is also instrumental in detoxification. It flushes toxins and wastes out of the body and transports nutrients to where they are needed.

Besides drinking water for body hydration and detoxification, the functions of water also include:

Since water has significant effects on our physiology, the quality of the water we consume is just as important as the quantity so as to maintain a healthy approach to body wellness.

• Forming the base for saliva • Forming the fluids that surround the joints • Regulating the body temperature• Relieving constipation and detoxifying of the body• Regulating metabolism

WATER & YOU

A healthy body is mild alkaline with a pH level of 7.35 to 7.45. A slight acidic blood pH, on the other hand, may hence pose some health concerns. Therefore, it is crucial that we maintain at the healthy pH level in order for our body to function properly. However, as we grow older, our chemical and physiological pH balancing mechanisms begin to deteriorate. Compounded by our acidic-forming modern diets and lifestyles which increase the acidic waste accumulation in the body, we are exposed to a higher risk of developing an overall acidic pH profile, which may compromise our well-being.

OUR BODY IS ALKALINE BY DESIGN & ACIDIC BY FUNCTION

FIND YOUR BODY’S pH

pH 7.35 - 7.45

Blood Test

Blood test, which is the most accurate method of testing body pH is practised in hospitals to determine the body pH.

pH 7.0 - 7.5

Saliva Test

Saliva test is a quick indication of current health status. It is used to gauge the amount of minerals reserves in your body. An abundance of mineral reserves will have a pH reading of 7.0 to 7.5. A low saliva pH reading indicates that the mineral reserves in the body is low. This shows that the mineral reserves are being used to buffer acids in some parts of the body.

pH 6.4 - 6.8

Urine Test

Urine test is another test to gauge your pH. The normal rate of acid excretion gives urine a pH that falls between 6.4 and 6.8. Testing the degree of acidity of the urine can determine if your body is discharging the normal quantity of acids. If the acid excretion rate is higher than normal, the urinary pH will give a lower pH value.

DO YOU KNOW BODY pH CAN BE AFFECTED BY 3 FACTORS?

Inborn

A baby can be born acidic due to a few possible reasons. It could be inherited from their mother during pregancy.

The immaturity of baby's muscles to keep his stomach contents from reaching his throat is another cause of acid reflux. Babies who are deprived of oxygen during labour, might also result with an acidic umbilical cord, thus causing an acidic pH at birth.

Modern Lifestyle

Your lifestyle can lead to the production of excess acids through overeating, smoking, drinking liquor, stress and irregular sleeping hours and hence creating an unfavourable condition for healthy cells to survive.

In addition, it can further generate excess free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable and will attack on healthy human cells to achieve stabilisation, thus resulting in health problems over time.

Modern Diet

Modern diet consist of 70-80% acid-forming foods. Most of us consume too much acid-forming products such as meats, eggs, dairy, white flour, sugar, liquor, coffee and soft drinks on a daily basis.

However, beneficial alkaline-forming foods such as vegetables and fresh fruits are consumed in lesser amount, yet this alkaline-forming foods are essential to neutralise the excess acid in our body. Too much acid-forming foods will disrupt healthy pH balance in the body, causing damages to the cell.

An antioxidant is a substance that helps counteract free radicals (active oxygen O2- ) attacks, a process known

as oxidation. The oxygen-radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) test is one of the standard methods to measure the antioxidant properties of botanical and biological substances. ORAC measures the overall antioxidant power of foods and supplements. The higher the ORAC value of food, the more antioxidant power it contains.

To alkalize your body just by eating alkaline food is very difficult unless you eat large amount of raw vegetables everyday. Nonetheless, it is important to achieve a balance between the acidic and alkaline food you consume. An efficient way to alkalize your body is by drinking Alkaline Anti-oxidant Water.

Alkaline Anti-oxidant Water allows the acid in the body to be neutralised naturally and more thoroughly rather than trying to alkalize through diet alone.

WHAT IS ALKALINE ANTI-OXIDANT WATER?

5 REWARDING QUALITIES OF ALKALINE ANTIOXIDANT WATER

In the 1950's, electrolysis process was discovered by Japanese water researchers to improve the quality of municipal water. This water ionization discovery became a part of Japanese Functional Water technology.

Approximately 15% of Japanese households use ionized water. In addition, alkaline water is available in hospitals and clinics throughout Japan and Korea as a registered medical device by the Governments of both countries.

THE ORIGIN OF ALKALINE ANTI-OXIDANT WATER

Alkalize BodyAlkaline Antioxidant Water helps to neutralise acidic wastes that build up in the body over time to help promote pH balance in the body.

ChildrenChildren between the ages of 4 to 12 years old should only consume mild Alkaline Antioxidant Water. It provides children with great amount of stable oxygen which helps their body to function efficiently for growth and keeping up their high activity levels.

Cells & Alkaline EnvironmentMost cells cannot survive in acidic environment, as these acidic environments causes cell mutation, leading to damages and eventually death of cell. An acidic pH will inhibits efficient cellular, body metabolism and reducing the effectiveness of intracellular signal which interfere cellular communications and functions.

Mitochondria & Availability of OxygenMitochondria converts oxygen and nutrients into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) which is the chemical energy used to powers the cell's metabolic activities. This is the reason why we need oxygen. If the availability of oxygen is obstructed, mitochondria will not be able to convert sufficient oxygen into ATP which will eventually hinders cell’s activity.

Cytoplasm & Sufficient WaterCytoplasm contains about 80 to 97% water and multiple cell processes take place in it. Insufficient water disrupts the transportation process of molecules inside the cell. Furthermore, the ion-concentration gradient over membranes will be interrupted and cell’s energy maintenance function will be disturbed.

Water Channel Protein & Permeability of WaterThere are many water channels protein embedded in the plasma membrane. These channels are specifically used to transport water in and out of the cell.

Water is an effective mode of transport for minerals and nutrients. With enhanced solubility and permeability of smaller water molecules cluster size, it helps to deliver essential minerals and nutrients through the narrow water channels protein into cells more rapidly and efficiently.

Youths and Adults Beginners should start consuming Alkaline Antioxidant Water from mild alkaline level in order to facilitate body adjustment to alkaline water. After becoming accustomed to the alkaline level, you can gradually increase the alkalinity level to further enjoy the rewarding qualities of Alkaline Antioxidant Water.

AthletesEncouraged to consume Alkaline Antioxidant Water for its energising and revitalising properties which helps to increase stamina and endurance.

Alkaline Antioxidant Water is beneficial for everyone, from children right up to the elderly.

HEALTHY BODY COMES FROM HEALTHY CELLS

ALKALINE ANTI-OXIDANT WATER & YOU

Our human body is a collection of organs formed from tissues. A tissue is a collection of identical cells, which is the building block of life. A human body is composed of approximately 10-100 trillion cells. At different stages of life, the number of cells we produce and lose varies. Since the production of cells is beyond our control, we should make an effort by keeping them healthy to avoid disrupting the lifespan of a normal cell. Hence, we need to take good care of our cell by providing a favourable environment so as to achieve a healthy body.

CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR HEALTHY CELLSA healthy cell needs several factors to build a conducive environment for survival.

Slow Down Oxidation Oxidation is a natural process in life, caused by free radicals attack. The presence of antioxidant properties in Alkaline Antioxidant Water helps to counteract free radicals attack and slow down oxidation damages.

Hydrate Better 70-75% of our body is made up of water, so we need to stay hydrated in order for all body systems to function properly. With smaller water molecules cluster size, it helps to enhance better penetration of water molecules into the cells to deliver nutrients and oxygen and also help to discharge metabolic wastes and toxins out of the body.

Energise & RevitaliseAlkaline Antioxidant Water helps to make you feel energise and revitalise by improving blood circulation and enhance body metabolism. Body is thus recharged with more energy and vigour.

Detoxify Alkaline Antioxidant Water helps to detox your body safely and naturally. Not only will your body have the ability to absorb nutrients more effectively, it also helps to discharge and eliminate body toxins which may creates an acidic environment. Detoxification is a key process to our body, which may be alleviated by drinking Alkaline Antioxidant Water.

ElderlyElderly may have higher possibility of heavy metals and other toxins accumulated in their bodies. It is recommended to consume Alkaline Antioxidant Water which helps to neutralise and discharge the wastes and toxins from their body

Plasma membrane is a protective layer for cell from invading foreign particles. A major component of plasma membrane is cholesterol, which facilitates the transportation of materials in and out of the cell.

When free radical attacks the plasma membrane of a cell for stabilisation, it will prevent the plasma membrane from taking in beneficial materials and expelling metabolic wastes and plasma membrane will thicken for protection. As time passes, this action causes an increase amount of cholesterol in the blood which may results in undesirable health issues. However with antioxidant, it helps to slow down oxidation by counteracting free radical attack and terminating chain reaction damage. It protects healthy cells in our body by donating their extra electrons to stabilize free radicals.

In addition, it can further generate excess free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable and will attack on healthy human cells to achieve stabilisation, thus resulting in health problems over time.

Modern Diet

Modern diet consist of 70-80% acid-forming foods. Most of us consume too much acid-forming products such as meats, eggs, dairy, white flour, sugar, liquor, coffee and soft drinks on a daily basis.

However, beneficial alkaline-forming foods such as vegetables and fresh fruits are consumed in lesser amount, yet this alkaline-forming foods are essential to neutralise the excess acid in our body. Too much acid-forming foods will disrupt healthy pH balance in the body, causing damages to the cell.

An antioxidant is a substance that helps counteract free radicals (active oxygen O2- ) attacks, a process known

as oxidation. The oxygen-radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) test is one of the standard methods to measure the antioxidant properties of botanical and biological substances. ORAC measures the overall antioxidant power of foods and supplements. The higher the ORAC value of food, the more antioxidant power it contains.

To alkalize your body just by eating alkaline food is very difficult unless you eat large amount of raw vegetables everyday. Nonetheless, it is important to achieve a balance between the acidic and alkaline food you consume. An efficient way to alkalize your body is by drinking Alkaline Anti-oxidant Water.

Alkaline Anti-oxidant Water allows the acid in the body to be neutralised naturally and more thoroughly rather than trying to alkalize through diet alone.

WHAT IS ALKALINE ANTI-OXIDANT WATER?

5 REWARDING QUALITIES OF ALKALINE ANTIOXIDANT WATER

In the 1950's, electrolysis process was discovered by Japanese water researchers to improve the quality of municipal water. This water ionization discovery became a part of Japanese Functional Water technology.

Approximately 15% of Japanese households use ionized water. In addition, alkaline water is available in hospitals and clinics throughout Japan and Korea as a registered medical device by the Governments of both countries.

THE ORIGIN OF ALKALINE ANTI-OXIDANT WATER

Alkalize BodyAlkaline Antioxidant Water helps to neutralise acidic wastes that build up in the body over time to help promote pH balance in the body.

ChildrenChildren between the ages of 4 to 12 years old should only consume mild Alkaline Antioxidant Water. It provides children with great amount of stable oxygen which helps their body to function efficiently for growth and keeping up their high activity levels.

Cells & Alkaline EnvironmentMost cells cannot survive in acidic environment, as these acidic environments causes cell mutation, leading to damages and eventually death of cell. An acidic pH will inhibits efficient cellular, body metabolism and reducing the effectiveness of intracellular signal which interfere cellular communications and functions.

Mitochondria & Availability of OxygenMitochondria converts oxygen and nutrients into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) which is the chemical energy used to powers the cell's metabolic activities. This is the reason why we need oxygen. If the availability of oxygen is obstructed, mitochondria will not be able to convert sufficient oxygen into ATP which will eventually hinders cell’s activity.

Cytoplasm & Sufficient WaterCytoplasm contains about 80 to 97% water and multiple cell processes take place in it. Insufficient water disrupts the transportation process of molecules inside the cell. Furthermore, the ion-concentration gradient over membranes will be interrupted and cell’s energy maintenance function will be disturbed.

Water Channel Protein & Permeability of WaterThere are many water channels protein embedded in the plasma membrane. These channels are specifically used to transport water in and out of the cell.

Water is an effective mode of transport for minerals and nutrients. With enhanced solubility and permeability of smaller water molecules cluster size, it helps to deliver essential minerals and nutrients through the narrow water channels protein into cells more rapidly and efficiently.

Youths and Adults Beginners should start consuming Alkaline Antioxidant Water from mild alkaline level in order to facilitate body adjustment to alkaline water. After becoming accustomed to the alkaline level, you can gradually increase the alkalinity level to further enjoy the rewarding qualities of Alkaline Antioxidant Water.

AthletesEncouraged to consume Alkaline Antioxidant Water for its energising and revitalising properties which helps to increase stamina and endurance.

Alkaline Antioxidant Water is beneficial for everyone, from children right up to the elderly.

HEALTHY BODY COMES FROM HEALTHY CELLS

ALKALINE ANTI-OXIDANT WATER & YOU

Our human body is a collection of organs formed from tissues. A tissue is a collection of identical cells, which is the building block of life. A human body is composed of approximately 10-100 trillion cells. At different stages of life, the number of cells we produce and lose varies. Since the production of cells is beyond our control, we should make an effort by keeping them healthy to avoid disrupting the lifespan of a normal cell. Hence, we need to take good care of our cell by providing a favourable environment so as to achieve a healthy body.

CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR HEALTHY CELLSA healthy cell needs several factors to build a conducive environment for survival.

Slow Down Oxidation Oxidation is a natural process in life, caused by free radicals attack. The presence of antioxidant properties in Alkaline Antioxidant Water helps to counteract free radicals attack and slow down oxidation damages.

Hydrate Better 70-75% of our body is made up of water, so we need to stay hydrated in order for all body systems to function properly. With smaller water molecules cluster size, it helps to enhance better penetration of water molecules into the cells to deliver nutrients and oxygen and also help to discharge metabolic wastes and toxins out of the body.

Energise & RevitaliseAlkaline Antioxidant Water helps to make you feel energise and revitalise by improving blood circulation and enhance body metabolism. Body is thus recharged with more energy and vigour.

Detoxify Alkaline Antioxidant Water helps to detox your body safely and naturally. Not only will your body have the ability to absorb nutrients more effectively, it also helps to discharge and eliminate body toxins which may creates an acidic environment. Detoxification is a key process to our body, which may be alleviated by drinking Alkaline Antioxidant Water.

ElderlyElderly may have higher possibility of heavy metals and other toxins accumulated in their bodies. It is recommended to consume Alkaline Antioxidant Water which helps to neutralise and discharge the wastes and toxins from their body

Plasma membrane is a protective layer for cell from invading foreign particles. A major component of plasma membrane is cholesterol, which facilitates the transportation of materials in and out of the cell.

When free radical attacks the plasma membrane of a cell for stabilisation, it will prevent the plasma membrane from taking in beneficial materials and expelling metabolic wastes and plasma membrane will thicken for protection. As time passes, this action causes an increase amount of cholesterol in the blood which may results in undesirable health issues. However with antioxidant, it helps to slow down oxidation by counteracting free radical attack and terminating chain reaction damage. It protects healthy cells in our body by donating their extra electrons to stabilize free radicals.

Water constitutes an intrinsic part of our daily life and we cannot survive without it. In fact, all the cell and organ functions made up in our entire anatomy and physiology depend on water for their functioning. That is the reason why we are encouraged to drink at least 8 glasses (≈ 2 litres) of water daily. About 70% of the human body is made up of water. A mere 2% drop in our body's water supply can trigger signs of dehydration. Mild dehydration is also one of the most common causes of daytime fatigue.

Drinking water is also instrumental in detoxification. It flushes toxins and wastes out of the body and transports nutrients to where they are needed.

Besides drinking water for body hydration and detoxification, the functions of water also include:

Since water has significant effects on our physiology, the quality of the water we consume is just as important as the quantity so as to maintain a healthy approach to body wellness.

• Forming the base for saliva • Forming the fluids that surround the joints • Regulating the body temperature• Relieving constipation and detoxifying of the body• Regulating metabolism

WATER & YOU

A healthy body is mild alkaline with a pH level of 7.35 to 7.45. A slight acidic blood pH, on the other hand, may hence pose some health concerns. Therefore, it is crucial that we maintain at the healthy pH level in order for our body to function properly. However, as we grow older, our chemical and physiological pH balancing mechanisms begin to deteriorate. Compounded by our acidic-forming modern diets and lifestyles which increase the acidic waste accumulation in the body, we are exposed to a higher risk of developing an overall acidic pH profile, which may compromise our well-being.

OUR BODY IS ALKALINE BY DESIGN & ACIDIC BY FUNCTION

FIND YOUR BODY’S pH

pH 7.35 - 7.45

Blood Test

Blood test, which is the most accurate method of testing body pH is practised in hospitals to determine the body pH.

pH 7.0 - 7.5

Saliva Test

Saliva test is a quick indication of current health status. It is used to gauge the amount of minerals reserves in your body. An abundance of mineral reserves will have a pH reading of 7.0 to 7.5. A low saliva pH reading indicates that the mineral reserves in the body is low. This shows that the mineral reserves are being used to buffer acids in some parts of the body.

pH 6.4 - 6.8

Urine Test

Urine test is another test to gauge your pH. The normal rate of acid excretion gives urine a pH that falls between 6.4 and 6.8. Testing the degree of acidity of the urine can determine if your body is discharging the normal quantity of acids. If the acid excretion rate is higher than normal, the urinary pH will give a lower pH value.

DO YOU KNOW BODY pH CAN BE AFFECTED BY 3 FACTORS?

Inborn

A baby can be born acidic due to a few possible reasons. It could be inherited from their mother during pregancy.

The immaturity of baby's muscles to keep his stomach contents from reaching his throat is another cause of acid reflux. Babies who are deprived of oxygen during labour, might also result with an acidic umbilical cord, thus causing an acidic pH at birth.

Modern Lifestyle

Your lifestyle can lead to the production of excess acids through overeating, smoking, drinking liquor, stress and irregular sleeping hours and hence creating an unfavourable condition for healthy cells to survive.

There are many types of drinking water in the market to choose from. Each of them has their distinctive qualities as shown below:

Note: Ionized Water consumption is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Please consult your physician for further information and specialised medical advice.

Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL) is a calculated value based on 5 nutrient values in food which may affect the acidity and alkalinity of the body. It is a simple measurement to access the effect of foods on the body pH.

PRAL scores is calculated based on the following equation, PRAL = 0.49 Protein + 0.037 Phosphorus – 0.021 Potassium – 0.026 Magnesium – 0.013 Calcium. If PRAL scores of our diets is highly positive, this would probably indicates that we are chronically in a state of high acidity.

PRAL Scores Table serves as a general guide to alkalizing and acidifying foods and the assessment of dietary effects on acid and alkaline balance. Food with a negative values (milliequivalents per 100g) has an alkaline effect,whereas food with a positive values has an acidic effect.

As the saying goes, “We Are What We Eat”. Other than making the right food choices, we need to take into consideration a more important element which we often neglect – The intake of water.

More recently, people begin to appreciate Alkaline Antioxidant Water as a better choice of water. Apart from exercising and keeping a well-balanced diet, make HydroPlus Alkaline Antioxidant Water a part of your healthy lifestyle today!

A healthy body is mild alkaline with a pH level of 7.35 to 7.45. A slight acidic blood pH, on the other hand, may hence pose some health concerns. Therefore, it is crucial that we maintain at the healthy pH level in

order for our body to function properly. However, as we grow older, our chemical and physiological pH balancing mechanisms begin to deteriorate. Compounded by our acid-forming modern diets and

lifestyles which increase the acidic waste accumulation in the body, we are exposed to a higher risk of developing an overall acidic pH profile, which may compromise our well-being.

OUR BODY IS ALKALINE BY DESIGN & ACIDIC BY FUNCTION

Q: What will happen to my body if it is too acidic?

A: Acidosis is the condition whereby there is an increased acidity in the blood. Acidosis is said to occur when blood pH falls below 7.35 while counterpart alkalosis occurs at pH over 7.45. As the acidic content increase in our body, this acid will be stored in the fats cell. Attempt to neutralise the excess acid by our body naturally will cause damages to our vital organs and bones.

Q: What types of food will help to alkalize your body?

A: You should pay more attention to your diet since it is the main factor, which contributes to the change of pH level in the body. In order to alkalize your body, you are required to take food that is alkalizing. One should avoid processed food (canned food), eat more vegetables and to avoid red meats and limit the amount of poultry consumed. Another simple solution is to drink alkalized water, which can helps to neutralise excess acidic in our body in order to maintain a healthy pH balance in the body.

Q: What can Alkaline Anti-oxidant Water do to help our body?

A: Alkaline Anti-oxidant Water is able to produce alkaline water, which helps to neutralise the excess acids in our body. On top of that, its high stable oxygen (O2) content promotes better digestive system and blood circulation. Alkaline Anti-oxidant Water has negative oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) reading, which implies the presence of antioxidant properties to reduce free radical attacks in our body. Moreover, smaller water molecule cluster size further provides better hydration throughout the body.

Q: How to improve the overall wellness of your body?

A: An overall approach to wellness could be achieved by going smoke-free, cutting down on liquor and having sufficient sleep. Having a proper balanced diet does play an important role in maintaining a healthy body pH level. However by drinking Alkaline Anti-oxidant Water, it provides a more effective alternative to getting elements we need for a healthy body and a healthy life.

Q: Can our body heal by itself naturally?

A: In the past, the amount of natural antioxidant produced was sufficient to defend the free radical attack. However this natural antioxidant created might not be sufficient to cater to the increase of free radicals produced in today’s world (E.g. Lifestyle, Pollution). Furthermore due to our diet and lifestyle, there is an increase in the acidic wastes stored in our body which disrupt the normal pH balance of a healthy body.
