Water Facts

Other important facts about water:

Water is a strong solvent. Therefore, it carries many invisible ingredients: minerals, oxygen, nutrients, waste products, pollutants, etc. Inside the human body, blood (90% of which is water) circulates throughout the body distributing nutrients, minerals and oxygen and collecting wastes, and carbon dioxides.

The pH of water:

This indicates whether water is more alkaline or more acidic. When the pH of water is 7, we say it is neutral which means that the acid content and alkaline content of the water is equal. It is a well known fact that alkaline water, in other words water with a pH of more than 7, is good for our bodies whilst acidic water (a pH lower than 7) is bad for our bodies. Likewise alkaline foods are healthier than acidic foods.

Remember that truly healthy water:

  • Is purified of all harmful substances.
  • Is rich in minerals;
  • Has a pH of 7 or more (which means water must be more alkaline than acidic).
