Perhaps you have already heard about the alkaline water craze. According to its proponents, this type of water has more benefits than regular tap water. The research available to date seems to support these claims, but the truth is that at the moment, only natural alkaline water is a safe substitute for tap water.
The main difference between natural alkaline water and the artificial kind is the method through which it is obtained.
Natural alkaline water, as its name implies, is alkaline at the source. Its pH level is the result of high content of healthy minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, to name just a few.
Artificial alkaline water is obtained from any kind of water through a process called electrolysis. It may or may not contain minerals depending on the nutrient content of the water used, and it could even be contaminated when obtained from unfiltered well water.
With this in mind, it is clear why natural alkaline water is the safest and healthiest choice. Furthermore, apart from the minerals mentioned above, natural mineral water can also contain some surprising – and healthy – elements able to enhance its properties. Here are three of them.
1. Colloidal Silver
Historically, silver has been widely used across civilizations for an array of different purposes. Ranging from jewelry, tableware and fine cutlery, silver was always considered to positively affect the health of users of all ages.
Silver Nanoparticles (or colloidal silver) are defined as solid silver particles with a size in the range of 10-100 nm dispersed in a liquid environment. These particles represent a promising candidate for extended research as microbicides due to their effectiveness in small doses with minimal toxicity and side effects.[1]
Perhaps you already know that silver is one of the most powerful antibacterial agents. It helped ancient nobles deal with outbreaks of cholera and other nasty diseases in an era when antibiotics were not yet a thing.
AgNPs are attractive because they are non-toxic to the human body at low concentrations and have broad-spectrum antibacterial actions[2].
In fact, it is well known that Ag+ ions and Ag-based compounds are toxic to microorganisms, possessing strong biocidal effects on at least 12 species of bacteria[3]
For this reason, some people claim that colloidal silver supplements can enhance your immune system and help your body fight a number of diseases, from common colds to cancer.
Some studies name Silver Nanoparticles as Virucidal Agents as they act directly and rapidly rupture the viral membrane. Nevertheless, the interaction of AgNPs with viruses is still an unexplored field.[4]
While some doctors advise against taking colloidal silver by mouth, scientists agree that small quantities of this metal have no harmful effect and are safe to ingest.
2. Colloidal Gold
Gold is another element one wouldn’t expect to find in drinking water, and that is more renowned for jewelry making rather than its health benefits. Nevertheless, colloidal gold has been studied by many scientists and researchers found that it enhances the immune system function.
Gold could help fight inflammation and improves the transmission between nerve cells. As such, it is a great supplement in the treatment of joint pain, arthritis, rheumatoid disorders, and also to boost your memory and concentration.
Colloidal gold also has a soothing effect and provides stress relief; thus, it is widely used to treat depression and anxiety.
3. Silicon
One of the most abundant materials in the earth’s crust, silicon is often found in natural alkaline water in the form of silica. This mineral plays a crucial role in helping our body eliminate aluminum.
Aluminum is an allegedly non-toxic metal that we can find in many foods, pharmaceuticals, and beauty products. However, research has found that aluminum intoxication can lead to dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and it may also be linked to autism.
According to several studies, drinking silica-rich water aids the human body to eliminate the aluminum, protecting you from all the undesirable side effects this metal could have.
Natural alkaline water, such as Aur’s Gold, is much more than mere water with a higher pH level than the regular stuff. It is a source of valuable minerals as well as other elements that can enhance your overall wellbeing. A more than valid reason to start drinking it.
