Drink
Your Anti-Oxidants
Are you spending cash on anti-oxidant supplements like selenium?
Alkaline water is rich in anti-oxidants!
In fact, its "reduction potential" the
way it scavenges free radicals is the best reason to drink alkaline water,
writes Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D., head (or former head?) of the Water
Institute of Japan. Dr. Hayashi reports that it's more critical than buffering
the acids.
Jupiter water with its billions of hydroxyl ions (OH-)
has surplus electrons that will calm free radicals before they tear into
your cells. The free radical is missing electrons. Alkaline water gives
it electrons, it's stable and happy.
Chemically this is labeled "negative ORP" (oxygen reduction potential).
Regular tap and bottled water have a positive ORP molecules that
oxidize our tissues and and accelerate aging. Only alkaline water has the
negative ORP the anti-oxidant molecules we need.
A glass of fresh orange juice has a negative ORP of -250, that's billions
of anti-oxidants. A glass of alkaline water will give you this same ORP,
and more. It's so easy to carry a water bottle to work!
Alkaline water will halt the chain reaction of free radicals. For instance,
say you eat chips, the fried oil molecule is short one electron so it grabs
an electron from a lipid in your cell membrane. The "oxidized" lipid then
steals an electron from the next lipid in the membrane, leaving it unpaired
and desperate. And so the stealing is repeated down the line, in a chain
reaction.
When free radicals do this grab electrons from your body molecules
the molecules are oxidized and left with an "electron hole." Alkaline
water comes along with its spare electrons and donates electrons, bringing
your tissues back into balance, e.g. restoring integrity to your
cell membranes.
Holes in our cell membranes allow unwanted elements in, like leaving
your car door unlocked in a high-crime area. Extra anti-oxidants are essential
to staying healthy.
Most raw fooders turn away from supplements because they create excesses
and deficiencies in our metabolic pathways. With
one glass of alkaline water, you get billions of anti-oxidants with none
of the imbalance of supplements.
Alkaline
Minerals Quench Free Radicals
You've heard that free radicals damage cell structures and cell processes.
They are the first cause of all disease and early aging because we are
the totality of our cells.
You know that free radicals are out to grab electrons, they're electrophilic
(electron-lovers). And the phospholipids in our cell membranes are the
easy prey of free radicals. These lipids are unsaturated fats who beg to
give their electrons away. In fact, they're so attractive to oxygen, that
it's the cell's main way of keeping infectious organisms out, like bacteria,
fungi, viruses.
With oxygen stuck to its membrane, the cell is safe. I'm an oxygen advocate.
You can't OD (overdose) on oxygen and green juices. The more you get, the
healthier you are. Oxygen = Energy.
The problem comes with junk foods and cooked saturated fats all fish,
bird and animal fats are saturated. These carcinogens are all free radicals.
They punch holes in our cell membranes and whoops, we have a damaged cell,
disease and early death.
What quenches a free radical? What stops it in its tracks? An atom that
has electrons to give, that will satisfy the radical's electrophilia.
Who decides whether an atom will steal electrons from other atoms, OR
give its electrons away, OR like a good child will share its electrons?
It's in the chemistry of the atom. Picture an atom with its electrons
orbiting round the nucleus, each in their own orbit, like planets orbiting
the sun. Now it's the electrons in the outer orbit, the shell furthest
away from the sun, that count in chemical reactions.
If an atom's outer shell has more than half but not all the electrons
it needs, then it's a free
radical. It will steal electrons from other atoms. Also called an
oxidizer, oxidizing agent, electron acceptor, or Lewis acid.
Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outer shell, it needs 8, therefore it
has more than half, and it's out on the prowl, looking for 2 electrons
to bring its outer fill to 8. It's a virulent oxidizer!
If an atom's outer shell has less than half the electrons it needs,
then it's a free radical quencher
or scavenger. It will give electrons to other atoms. Also called a reductant,
reducing agent, electron donor, or Lewis base. All alkaline minerals are
reductants. They walk around freely handing out their outermost electrons.
So they can enter into the chemistry of life.
For instance, calcium and magnesium have only 2 electrons in their outer
shell, while sodium and potassium have one each. It's far easier to give
up their one or two electrons than prowl around for a whole bunch. Nature
takes the path of least resistance, like water.
Do you see how alkaline water protects you? All
free radicals, all acids, all carcinogens, are electron-loving, eager to
gain electrons. Once in our blood, they strongly react with electron
donors such as our cell membranes.
These villains stick to our cell membranes and smother the poor cell.
They barricade the city-cell no food can come in, no waste can go out.
They also burn holes in cell and nuclear membranes and attack your DNA,
causing mutations there.
Plus they neatly fit into protein receptors in your cell membranes,
receptors that need to receive signals from your brain and endocrine glands
(hormones) to tell your cell what to do. We all know pesticides are estrogen-mimickers.
With no signals, an isolated cell doesn't know what to do, and begins
to multiply itself out of control. What is this? Cells dividing over and
over into a big lump? It's a tumor, benign or malignant.
Personally, I can't imagine how the human race survived the last 60
years of trigger-happy humans shooting millions of synthetic chemicals
into our world and into our body-minds.
But I know how we may survive the next 60 years. With Jupiter alkaline
water. |
