Most of us are somewhat familiar with electrolytes and know about things like Gatorade to replenish but what I’m going to talk about goes way beyond drinking a sports drink after heavy exercise. While I hold strong that water is the most essential nutrient for the body, I know that water is not the only supplement our bodies crave. Our bodies are basically made up of the same things that make up the earth, so beyond water we need to think about the soil and thus what’s in (or...
Sweat is one of the obvious things that happens during a workout; it’s the way our bodies cool down when they start to heat up. It follows that the more a person sweats, the more water they should drink to replenish. Sweat rates vary by individual and are further influenced by factors including exercise intensity, exercise duration, the climate (including temperature and...

Why Drink Ozonated Water
Water is essential for life. We use it not only to drink, but to bathe, for recreation, in cleaning and in manufacturing goods. There are a number of different ways to purify water and maximize its effectiveness. The method of ozonation is a common technique used to purify water and offers a number of health benefits. Remember high school science class? Well, if you don’t, here’s a little refresher course: The body maintains a delicate acid-alkaline balance. Everything from healthy cells to cancer cells to soil quality and ocean life is affected by pH. The term pH stands for “potential hydrogen” which is the measure of hydrogen ions in a particular solution (don’t worry if you’re not science-savvy, I’ll make this easy to understand!). In our case, that “solution” refers to our body’s fluids and tissues. The pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is and ranges...
