Energy Balls and Coconut Carbon

So, my massage therapist is now repping all sorts of health food products and supplements. One item I was already interested in was a water alkalizer. We know that a healthy body is a more alkaline body, and that certain foods(such as vegetables and fatty fish) help maintain the body in a more alkaline state.

Tap water tends to be too acidic, and a water alkalizer can increase the pH from 7 to 8 or 9.

I purchased a Santevia gravity water dispenser. Let me tell you about it.

It has multiple levels of filtration, starting with a ceramic filter which removes bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and other yucky things.

Then, there is a 5-stage filter consisting of :

Bioceramic Energy Balls: which contain tourmaline( see below, which I borrowed from Ki Flow)

Positive Effects of Tourmaline Mineralizes Water - Tourmaline is thought to be effective in removing the foul odor from drinking water by altering the bad-smelling component of chlorine. Alkalinizes Water and Body Fluids - Tourmaline can also make water slightly alkaline. Because tropical fish favor such an environment, it is beneficial for them to have their fish tanks lined with tourmaline. Worn directly on the body, tourmaline also adjusts body fluids to a slightly alkaline pH, which is optimal for health. Suppresses Electromagnetic Fields - In recent years, tourmaline has been closely investigated for its potential to counteract the effects of electromagnetic fields, which are thought to be harmful. Researchers suspect that the weak electric current generated by tourmaline suppresses electromagnetic fields in the immediate environment. Fights Bacteria and Maintains Freshness - Tourmaline has been shown to have antibacterial and deodorizing effects when placed in refrigerators and cars. In addition, tourmaline prevents foul smells from being absorbed into a variety of materials. Surfactant Properties - Because of its surfactant (detergent) properties, tourmaline enhances cleaning effectiveness and prevents dirt adhesion. Health Effects - Worn on the body, tourmaline is thought to prevent cholesterol coagulation and build-up in blood vessels. Cells throughout the body are invigorated and immune function is enhanced by tourmaline. It is also thought to purify the blood, stimulate the autonomic nervous system, calm overexcited sympathetic nerves, and promote sound sleep. Generates Negative Ions & Far Infrared Rays - The tourmaline granules in Ki Flow Ion Therapy Jewelry can be effective in treating neck stiffness and other conditions, because the weak electric current and far infrared rays that they generate improve circulation. In addition, tourmaline's electrolytic properties cause it to emit negative ions, which are thought to have multiple healing effects on the mind and body. These many beneficial properties make tourmaline (especially black tourmaline) one of the most amazing minerals on the planet.

Coconut Carbon Charcoal: 65 acres of purifying surface! Removes chlorine, herbicides, pesticides, drugs, chemicals, heavy metals, particulates and odors.

Silica Sand: neutralizes acid and infuses water with silica, which strengthens collagen. It also clarifies the water so it is sparkling.

Volcanic Mineral Zeolite Granules: inhibits bacteria, removes heavy metals like lead and mercury, removes ammonia and detergents, and removes radioactive ions.

Mineral Stone Infusion Maifan Stones: increases alkalinity and oxygenates the water for better bioavailability. It also makes tap water taste better.

Diatemaceous Earth and Mineral Oxide: improves pH balance and increases bioavailability.


I'll report back and let you know how I feel after a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, you can improve your body's pH balance by avoiding the following:

Transfats
Sugar
White Carbs
Alcohol
Animal Fats
Omega -6 Fats
Milk
MSG

For now, I'm off to my energy balls and volcanic granules...MMMM!
