We all know water is good for us and that we should probably
drink more of it. So why, then, do Americans find it so difficult to sip from
what is arguably the fountain of youth?
Answers vary, but the fact is, one in 10 Americans drinks zero
cups of water per day, according to a study by Dr. Alyson Goodman, a medical
epidemiologist for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Zero. She
suspects that those who don’t drink any water (or very little) are getting it
from other sources such as food and coffee, but warns this may not be enough.
“Many health risks decrease when you drink plain water,” says
Goodman.
Which is why, she says, the results are “mindboggling.”
Robert Eakle, CEO of Alkame Water,
agrees. “Without water, no living thing can survive,” he says. “It affects
every area of our life and is an essential part to maintaining proper health.”
However, not all waters are created equal. Enhanced waters, like
Alkame Water, provide the body with more health benefits than regular water.
Just take a look at how it can help:
• It balances body fluids. Your
body is composed of about 60 percent water and performs vital functions such as
protecting your organs and tissues, regulating your body temperature and
carrying nutrients and oxygen to your cells—essentially it keeps your body
running like a well-oiled machine.
• It keeps skin looking healthy. Water
moisturizes your skin and functions as a protective barrier to prevent excess
fluid loss (think free anti-aging cream). In addition, it can keep your skin
fresh and smooth.
• It boosts the immune system. Those
who guzzle water are at a lower risk of getting sick. This crystal-clear
concoction helps fight against flu, cancer and other ailments—especially if
your water has mild alkaline properties, such as those found in Alkame Water.
Including ionized water in your daily intake can give your immune system a
boost through added antioxidants, improve aerobic capacity, enhance energy
levels and through a patented technology that alters the molecular structure of
water, hydrate your body more fully.
• It can help control calories. While
drinking water may not be a weight-loss strategy, per se, substituting it for
higher-calorie or sugar-filled beverages can help by removing by products of
fat, filling you up so you’re not noshing, acts as a natural appetite
suppressant and raises your metabolism.
