Is all the water you drink really good for you?
From the water we drink to the water we bath in, water is necessary to maintain good health. Certainly everyone is already aware of this, but what most people don’t realize is that much of the water we are using is not good for us; and in many instances it can even be detrimental to our health. When we don’t consume enough water, we can begin to develop certain illnesses and even accelerate our aging processes.
You might be asking yourself, what is the water truth? We have designed this section to help you discover the answer to that question for yourself. Why not take a few moments to learn what those of us at Blue Jug already know…take a few minutes to discover the water truth.
What’s all the fuss about Tap Water?
For many years tap water was the only source for drinking water, but ground water contamination has created the need for chlorination and purification processes, even with these measures, “pollution in tap water” has affected more than one hundred million people. In December of 2009, The New York Times reported that in MIAMI — A new boutique hotel relocated all its guests after health officials determined that a water filter removed too much chlorine, possibly allowing the spread of a rare bacteria that killed one former guest and made at least two others sick. Is this the kind of water you want for your family? According to Dr. Joseph M. Price, MD, in Moseby’s Medical Dictionary, “Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times. It is an insidious poison”. So much for tap water.
The bottled water myth.
Many people believe that the water we get from coffee, sodas, and energy drinks will be sufficient for the human body to function on optimal levels; but that is incorrect. Simply stated, the water from these beverages is nothing but poor quality distilled water. If you’re like most people you probably buy your fair share of bottle water.
Consumption of bottled water in the United States has more than doubled in the last ten years, from 13.5 gallons per person in 1997 to 29.3 gallons per person in 2007. Bottled water is now second only to carbonated soft drinks in annual sales, with 9.4 billion gallons estimated to be sold in 2008. Americans will spend more than $13 billion on bottled water in 2009 but are the receiving the value they are expecting?
75 % of Americans are chronically dehydrated. 37% of Americans mistake dehydration for hunger. They eat when they should drink. For optimum hydration you should drink a number of fluid ounces equal to half your body weight and not “eight glasses per day”. For example, a 200-pound man should drink 100 ounces per day. Coffee, tea, and many soft drinks contain large amounts of caffeine. Drinking caffeinated beverages do not hydrate the body; in fact they help dehydrate the body.
To make matters worse, most water we consume today is acidic and will not absorb into the body properly, adding to the dehydration dilemma. Is Dehydration really a problem? You bet! Dehydration slows down your metabolism which leads to weight retention. As we like to say “Hydrate to Lose Weight!”
This is something no-one wants to hear, if you’re like most, you love your morning shower and steaming up the bathroom.
Here is a statement that might surprise you. “Taking showers is a health risk”, this is according to research presented in a meeting of the American Chemical Society.
When CHLORINATED WATER IS USED, bathing may be much less healthy that we ever supposed. Chlorine is a toxic chemical. It is used in water treatment to reduce and kill forms of biological agents, such as bacteria and viruses found in water systems.
It is not just the amount of water that we drink that keeps us healthy, it’s about the ‘quality’ of water we drink.
The reverse osmosis process can only remove particles of larger dimensions than water molecules. Another “potentially larger problem” is created because reverse osmosis works too well! Not only does it remove the contaminants, it also filters out essential minerals present in water, thus removing the “good with the bad”.
It’s widely believed that the water we now consume from commercial filtering machines and bottled water companies is “good” for us. In America alone we spend more than $12 billion dollars annually on bottled water. Countless tests and facts repeatedly show that water treated with distillation and reverse osmosis “take the good out with the bad”, leaving us with Acidic/Dead Water.
You might be asking yourself, what’s the big deal? It has now been scientifically proven that the balance of health in our body is directly related to the pH levels of the water and blood circulating inside all of us. More simply put, a body that is Acidic is a breeding ground for disease.
Alkaline water is by far the healthiest water available today. Decades of scientific and medical research have gone into its development and recent studies are revealing the magnificent benefits alkaline water can provide. It has increased hydration properties, abundant mineral content, is high alkaline and even contains Anti-Oxidant properties.
If you’re like most people that are just learning about this you will probably be just a little bit skeptical, how could water possibly have such a huge impact? Quite frankly, it can’t unless it goes through the right natural process, an innovative process we call Ceramic Conversion.
Our natural ceramic filtration process breaks down water molecules into micro-clusters allowing rapid delivery to cell walls for a superior hydrating effect at a cellular level. During the filtration process, valuable Minerals that might have been lost during the purification process (distillation, reverse osmosis) are added to the “dead/acidic water”. Micro-clustered water delivers nutrients to the cells more efficiently. Among several other benefits including proper hydration, detoxification, and balance in your body’s pH levels, drinking alkaline water can ultimately contribute to weight loss and anti-aging.
The Effects Of Balancing pH In The Body Are Numerous
Alkaline water has been shown to neutralize the acidity of the body that might be brought on by everyday stress, our unhealthy diets and most bottled waters.
As our filter system creates Alkaline Water it also transforms the water into “Antioxidant Water” as well. Antioxidants reduce cellular and DNA damage caused by free radicals.
Alkaline water tastes great! You’ll find yourself drinking more, and more of something good is always a plus.
A higher pH in the body can reduce the need for fat and cholesterol to protect the body from damaging acids, which helps lead to fat loss and proper cholesterol management.
Using water with a higher pH level improves the taste of beverages and food.
Hydration And Nutritional Absorption At The Cellular Level Are Critical To Our Health
Our Ceramic Filtration Process breaks clusters of water molecules into smaller micro-clusters; smaller clusters pass through cell walls more easily and hydrate the cells more quickly.
Increased hydration allows the body to regulate its temperature more efficiently.
Micro-clusters of mineral-bearing water deliver nutrients more efficiently to the cells.
Due to their small size, micro-clusters of filtered water molecules are expelled from the cells more efficiently, carrying damaging toxins out of the cells and flushing them out of the system.
75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated; increased absorption is critical to maintaining our health.
For centuries explorers have searched for the mythical Fountain of Youth, could the answer be as simple as Alkaline, Antioxidant Water? Why not explore the possibilities for yourself. Try our water today!

“If someone were to ask me, What is the one thing I can do to have better health? then the answer would be simple: Start drinking alkaline, ionized water.”
Dr. Ben Johnson, MD, DO, ND and Ex-Flight Surgeon
“We talk a lot about Oxidation Reduction Potential and it’s huge, but lets not forget that we’re talking about alkaline water and if your asking which is more important, it is the ORP, but alkalinity is very important too. Everything in the body works better when the body is alkaline, enzymes work better and enzymes are necessary for most functions in the body even creating energy, even electricity. The electricity that all cells work on in the body, it’s essential that you have a alkaline environment. It limits how much energy or how fast the reactions can occur. If you don’t have the proper enzyme functions, and is to some degree the measure of alkalinity everything in the body works off of hormones too. You’ve got thyroid hormones, testosterone, estrogen, all the different hormones in the body. Alkalinity makes those work better.”
Prof. Watanabe Ifao, Watanabe Hospital
“Ionized alkaline antioxidant water improves body constituents and ensures effective healing to many illnesses. The uses of antioxidant water in gynecological patients have proved to be very effective. The main reason for its effectiveness is that this water can neutralize toxins.”
“When given antioxidant water to pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, the results are most significant. During my long years of servicing the pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, I found that the women with pre-eclamptic toxemia who consumed antioxidant water tend to deliver healthier babies with stronger muscles. A survey report carried out on babies in this group showed intelligence above average.”

“Alkaline water rids the body of acid waste…After carefully evaluating the results of my advice to hundreds of individuals, I’m convinced that toxicity in the form of acidic waste is the primary cause of degenerative diseases.
Dr Felicia Drury Climent, Author The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet
“After years of very positive continuous clinical experiments that I am conducting with hundreds of clients using electronically restructured alkaline water, it is my opinion that this technology will change the way in which all health providers and the public will approach their health in coming years….My suggestion is to drink restructured alkaline water whenever possible.”
Dr. Robert Atkins, Author, The Atkins’ Diet
“The cells and fluids in most people’s bodies…are overly acidic. This can cause a lot of health problems. It prevents your body from neutralizing and disposing of harmful, poisonous toxins and leaves you more susceptible to the cell-damaging free radical oxidation that leads to cancer and other diseases.”
Dr. William Kelly, Author, “Cancer Cure”
“Alkaline water, produced by a water ionizer, has become the most important advancement in health care since Sir Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin.”
Dr. Leonard Horowitz, Author, “Aids and Ebola”
“International studies show that populations with little or no history of illness, such as cancer…, drink higher (pH) alkaline waters. After all potential risk factors were considered and factored out, it became evident that they had been drinking waters with a pH of 9.0 to 10.0.”
Dr Theodore Baroody, Author, Alkalize or Die
“I have administered over 5000 gallons of this water for about every health situation imaginable. I feel that restructured alkaline water can benefit everyone.”
Dr Sang Whang, Author, Reverse Aging
“Since the accumulation of acid wastes is aging, the reduction of acid wastes is reverse aging. Alkaline water is not a medicine to cure any disease. However, if consumed regularly, alkaline water helps to gradually reduces the accumulated acid wastes.”
