The idea that there is water that is better for you than other types may sound odd or even a little bit strange, but the fact of the matter is that not all h2o is created equal. One of the most important life sustaining ingredients is in fact water, yet for those that are serious about exercise, fitness, weight loss or improving themselves competitively, drinking lots of water and staying hydrated is important to keep your body running in tip top shape.

As previously mentioned some have come to the conclusion that not all water is equal. It would be prudent then on the part of hard core exercisers and the like to make sure then that what they drink is the best possible quality water and the best possible hydrant that gains access to the deepest parts of your body for the best possible results.

Most of the water we drink comes from either the tap and had been filtered through in home filtration systems or has been bottled and distributed to grocery store and supermarkets, these bottles could range in size from gallon jugs to individual serving size. The problem with this type of water is that no matter how much you filter it and reverse osmosis it, the water is still made of large cluster particles that have a very hard time penetrating your body and therefore truly hydrating you.

It would not be out of place to say that the majority of people are dreadfully de-hydrated today. This can be said almost as a fact simply by examining what happens when someone is taken to the hospital or emergency room. In almost every instance the patient (who has never been to that emergency room before) is immediately given an iv, the reason for this iv is simple, and it is because doctors know that almost every person they see is dehydrated. The cause of this dehydration pandemic is that the water we drink as nowhere near its original natural state. Through much processing most water today has lost its ability to properly hydrate because it is in effect to large.

There is no secret to the make up of water and as one of the first things we learn in science class we learn that two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen creates a molecule called water. Water in it’s original form and untampered with combines together with other water molecules creating a cluster of 3 to 5 molecules. However when water is tampered with and filtered and bottled and shipped these clusters begin to grow in size and go from 3 to 5 to 10 to 15 size molecule clusters or “super cluster.” The water most people drink today is in fact made up of super clusters, that enter into our bodies and are absorbed only so much into us due to the size of these clusters, and the hydrating effects are thus extremely limited.

As a solution to the hydration problem many companies have researched and designed what are called water ionizers. These ionizers change the properties of water through a complex ionizing process suing electricity and titanium/ platinum plates. In addition to many other enhancements to the water itself a byproduct of the ionizing affect is what has been referred to as “microclustering.” If this sounds like the opposite of “superclustering”, you would be correct because water ionizers separate these clusters and get them close to their original form. The end result is a cluster of water made up of 3-5 molecules verses 10 to 15.

Several companies offer water ionizers, and a few of them offer high quality well tested accurate products. Jupiter Ionizers, Life Ionizers and Enagic corp. are a few that are noteworthy. If your goal is to get the best quality workout from your routine, or to increase the level of your game or just plain get in the bast shape of your life and have energy, drinking the highest quality, and purest form of water is essential. Microclustered water will help you in hydrating your body and taking care of those important muscles and organs to keep you healthy for a very long time.
