The other day, I read on Twitter from our former pool guy in Mesa.... "I figured it all out! People need to adjust the pH in their bodies just like you need to adjust the pH in a pool before "treating" it!" He's absolutely right. If you don't maintain a certain pH with a pool, you will have problems. Same goes for your body. As I've already mentioned in a previous post, alkaline water is very good for you. Most people tend to be acidic and so the ionized water aids in removing the residue acid waste from your organs and other body tissues contributing to weight gain and other diseases.
While acidic (ion) water has it's uses, it is definitely NOT recommended for internal consumption, especially with all the acidic foods we eat.
For home use, acidic water is great as a cleaning and disinfecting agent. I keep a bottle of ion water in my pantry for easy access to clean practically everything, from our windows to our kitchen cupboards to the bathrooms. In lieu of fabric softeners, you can use the acidic water to soften your clothes.
It's also beneficial if you have a bug bite or a sore throat. With acidic water, you can further use it for your hair. It will make your hair soft when used as a rinse after shampooing.
There are actually a lot of other uses, but my ionizer machine does not go below a pH of 4.0. If you have a machine that goes below 4.0, acidic water has a remarkably strong disinfecting and antibacterial effect. It kills all known germs and bacteria on contact even those pesky little ants, noseeums, mosquitoes, etc.
You see it's not all about alkaline water, acidic water has it's well-intended purpose....JUST DON'T DRINK IT. Coke for instance has a pH of 2.5...highly acidic! That's why coke does a great job of cleaning toilets. If you're like my hubby who drinks coke occasionally, at least squirt some lemon or lime in it to slightly offset the acidity. Lemons, limes and other sour citric fruits are commonly believed to be acidic, however it becomes highly alkaline when consumed.
