RE: Proper Hydration: All Water is Not Equal
My parents bought an Enganic machine to make alkaline water and it has helped with hydration, arthritis and incontinence. I drink it when I visit them and at the very least it sure tastes better than tap water!!
That's a great testimonial, thanks for sharing @summerskin! It inspires a few questions: what pH do they drink? Do they test the pH from time to time? Do they prepare it a glass at a time or make like a jug at once? How often do they drink water? How long until they saw symptoms subside?
They drink the strongest available on the machine at 9.5, but they worked up to that from 8.0. They clean the machine twice a month and they test the pH once a month to make sure everything is working as they should. The machine is attached to their kitchen sink faucet, so anytime they use the faucet they are using alkaline water, unless they want acidic water in which case they switch the machine to about 4.0 (they use the acidic water to clean their faces, clean kitchen countertops, etc). For them first they noticed decreased incontinence in about 2 weeks. The arthritis symptoms subsided within 3 months. Their doctors say it's all in their heads, but I'm like who cares how it is working IT IS working. They have been drinking this water for about 5 months now, so I'm excited to see what the long term benefits are.
