Articles The Healing Benefits of EO WaterElectrolyzed/Oxidizing (EO) water is not new. Countries in the Orient have been using it extensively for over 25 years. The United States approved its use many years ago. The benefits of this water have been documented by the FDA, EPA and USDA. What Is It? EO water is ionized water. What that means is that the water is electrolyzed, which then restructures it into positive and negative ions. This results in two distinct characteristics: acidic water and alkaline water. Acidic water lacks electrons and is called oxidizing water. It has the capacity to kill bacteria within seconds by depriving the organism of electrons. It is very useful as a disinfectant and can be used on skin, food, plants, and animals. Many hospitals and restaurants have used it as a sterilant. On the other hand, alkaline water is abundant with electrons. It has the capacity to neutralize free radicals within the body and is a very efficient antioxidant. How Is EO Water Created? Most tap water or bottled water is made up of large molecules. The molecules are too large to be assimilated into our body cells efficiently. It must, therefore, be broken down into smaller units in order to be absorbed. This becomes a time consuming and energy consuming process. In the past, EO water was not able to be distributed easily as it was not a stable chemistry. If it was not used within a few hours, it would dissipate and the health benefits would diminish. Recently, companies have been able to find a way to stabilize EO water and market it. By electolyzing water, the molecules are broken down into smaller units which penetrate the body’s cells much faster. Because of this, nutrients are absorbed quicker, waste is removed quicker and metabolism becomes more efficient. Uses and Benefits One of the benefits of EO water is that it can change the pH in the body. Normal pH is around 7. Through stress, poor diet and environmental factors, our bodies tend to be on the acidic side. Although there are many foods that are high in alkalinity, it is often difficult to maintain a healthy pH through diet alone. By drinking alkaline water, the body can return to normal chemistry. As mentioned, acidic water is beneficial for topical healing. By killing bacteria, virus and fungal pathogens, it is useful for many skin conditions such as acne, athlete’s foot, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, cold sores, diaper rash, dry skin, dandruff, burns, wounds, sore throats, etc. It should only be used topically. Alkaline water is meant for drinking. It should be mixed with any good filtered, RO or distilled water. Do not mix it with regular tap water. The benefits of alkaline water is to flush toxins, hydrate the body, attract and neutralize free radicals (cancer cells), enhance the delivery of nutrients from food and support the immune system. Stabilized EO water is now available to the average consumer. It is completely safe, environmentally friendly and has many health benefits. For other alternative health options, visit www.q-life.ca.
