Researchers found that drinking orange juice increased the levels of citrate in the participant’s urine and reduced the crystallization of uric acid and calcium oxalate – two components that can lead to the formation of kidney stones. Lemonade and water did not increase citrate levels.
The most well known scientist and inventor “Sang Whang” (Alkaline Pioneer) have said that in the pecking order of ion exchange of the four alkaline minerals in water, potassium is the strongest, next is sodium, then calcium, and the last is magnesium.
The strongest minerals can replace weaker minerals, but not the other way around. For example, sulphur in food creates sulphuric acid. Since sulphuric acid is dangerous to the human body, the body robs calcium from the skeleton and combines it with the sulphuric acid to form sulphate, a weaker acid salt that doesn’t dissolve well. Calcium or magnesium can’t kick out calcium from the sulphate, but potassium or sodium can, thus releasing calcium back to the skeleton. Sulphuric acid combined with potassium or sodium is more soluble for the kidneys to process and discharge.
Potassium and sodium are better than calcium or magnesium in reducing sulphate, urate, prosphate, and other acid salts. It is nearly insoluble in water, alcohol and other, but soluble in solutions of alkaline salts. But, potassium will work better than calcium. Many people reported relief from gout (which is caused by uric acid) after drinking antioxidant alkaline water.
“The accumulation of acid waste products within our body is the process of aging. Therefore, removing old, stored waste is reverse aging.- Sang Whang”
Benefits of Calcium & Magnesium
The role of calcium in bone health is indisputable. Bone health is an indisputable as we age. For an acid overloaded person needs calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium, for all of these minerals play an essential part in the maintenance of bone, muscle and cell.
So when aches and pains come, and we find that calcium or magnesium eases the symptom. We prefer to work on reality rather than theory, and reality is that it worked.
Healthy bone structures in humans require both calcium & magnesium. Milk and other dairy products are cited as being high in calcium, but lacking the magnesium levels required for strong bones. Such a deficiency would be mitigated by consuming other foods high in magnesium, such as nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables, even certain mineral waters high in the element. In fact if you don’t receive calcium & magnesium in a 2:1 ration, you won’t absorb it properly anyway.
Calcium is absorbed in small intestines. There are different types of calcium supplements. Namely calcium citrate, calcium carbonate, dolomite, bone meal or oyster shell, calcium gluconate or calcium lactate. The best way to obtain calcium and fight free radicals is by drinking RIO® Antioxidant Alkaline water.
The Role of Magnesium
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and it’s essential to good health. Most people think their bones are made up of calcium only but approximately 50% of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant. Why? Because magnesium is alkaline, and make up a part of the alkaline buffer!
Magnesium has an essential role in more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Magnesium helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. There is an increase interest in the role of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Green vegetables such as spinach are good sources of magnesium because the centre of the chlorophyll molecule (which gives green vegetables their colour) contains magnesium.
Some legumes (beans & peas), nuts and seeds, and whole, unrefined grains are also good sources of magnesium. Refined grains are generally low in magnesium. When white flour is refined and processed, the magnesium-rich germ and bran are removed. Bread made from whole grain wheat flour provides more magnesium than bread made from white refined flour. Water that naturally contains more minerals is described as “hard”. “Hard” water contains more magnesium than “soft” water.
The water from the RIO® Spring Antioxidant Alkaline Water System has been proven similar to Spring water of world renowned health giving springs (i.e. Hunza Valley) through generations to:
· Increases stable oxygen in our body & immune system.
· Contains alkaline-rich minerals including calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium & etc.
· Super antioxidant properties helps eliminates free radical damages, anti-aging & anti-tiring also.
· Smaller water clusters hydrate and detoxification the body by flushing toxins and acid waste more efficiently.
· Restore proper alkaline pH in our body and the Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) up to -250mV & pH 8.2
· Cooking with Alkaline Antioxidant water improves the nutritional value and the taste of food and drinks such as, tea and coffee. It also has a lower boiling point
Examples of world renowned health giving springs:
· Shimanto Health Springs, Japan
· Lourdes, France Health Springs
· Hunza Mountain Springs, Northern Pakistan
· Mountain Springs, Southern Russia.
· DongMa, Guangxi, China
Provide effective treatment to reduce harmful bacteria such as typhoid, bilharzias & amoebas and chemical contaminates, remove rust, sediment and suspended solids, chlorine taste, unpleasant odor. 0.3 micron filtration absolute and is washable. Recommend replacement within 1 year or 10,000 litres whichever come first.
Filter 2-Activated Carbon Block + GAC (12 months)
Efficient in removing pollutants such as residual chlorine, unpleasant odor, organic compounds, colours, heavy metals (e.g. copper, lead, mercury & etc), Trihalomethanes (THMS), methyl tertiary butyl ethers (MTBES) and other chemicals by absorption. Recommend replacement within 1 year or 10,000 litres whichever come first.
Filter 3- Activated Carbon Block + Alkaline Minerals (12 months)
Remove heavy metals, harmful chemicals and organic materials. It made with superior materials to ensure that water is filtered pure & cleaner. Recommend replacement within 1 year or 10,000 litres whichever come first.
Filter 4- Alkaline Minerals (24 months)
Contains alkaline rich-mineral which are beneficial to our health such as Ca2+, magnesium, potassium and sodium. Alkaline minerals improve the pH value of up to 8.2 of water to medium alkaline level and also correct blood and body acidity. For instance, Ca2+ is the most important (and specific) element of bone and calcified cartilage. In humans, the total body content of calcium is mostly present in the form of bone mineral. Recommend replacement within 2 year or 20,000 litres whichever come first.
Filter 5- Energy Ceramic & Super Tourmaline Mineral Ceramic & KDF (USA) (30 months)
The water treated with bio-ceramic is rich in ionic minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. In which would break water into smaller molecule clusters and improve body metabolise, increase body resistant as well. At the same time increasing dissolved oxygen content in the water for our body need. Finally KDF 55 was designed specifically for removing or reducing chlorine and water-soluble heavy metals. Recommend replacement within 2 1/2 year or 20,000 litres whichever come first.
Filter 6-Activated Carbon & Antioxidant Mineral (Japan) (36 months)
Removing organic material and resistance anti-bacteria from water and have super antioxidant ORP of up to -250mV. Antioxidant Mineral can abundance of negative ions for reducing oxidation at human body, prevent free radicals, antioxidant thus anti aging & anti tiring also. Furthermore with small water molecule clusters and thus is more easily absorbed into our body. Recommend replacement within 3 year or 20,000 litres whichever come first.
