Oxidation Reduction Potential – ORP
Oxydation Reduction Potential, known as ORP, is the mechanism the body uses to either protect our cells or destroy our cells, depending on whether the ORP is negative or positive.
Positive ORP increases oxidation (aging) and leads to free radical oxidative damage to our cells that are a forerunner to degenerative and fatal diseases.
Positive ORP is found in tap water, bottled water, distilled and reverse osmosis waters as well as cooked and processed foods. This means that positive ORP has no antioxidant capacity to neutralize free radicals.
Negative ORP, however, which is an integral part of ionized alkaline water, retards the aging process. It counteracts oxidative damage to our cells by scavenging for free oxygen radicals and neutralizing them. Negative ORP is a very powerful anti-oxidant. It helps detoxify our body and increase our energy level and our ability to fight disease. Oxygen destroys cancer cells as well as bacteria and viruses invading our bodies. It carries away acid waste from body tissue. In modern times our bodies are mostly acidic as well as 30% to 40% dehydrated. Drinking ionized water can literally turn your life around by bringing your body into pH balance to prevent disease, restore and maintain optimum health.
