zazen CEO and co-founder Janet Parker explains why chemically-altered high pH Tap water may do more harm than good, and how to choose the right water that truly nourishes and energises you.

Consistent consumption of clean water is essential for the proper maintenance and generation of cells, tissues and organs within our bodies. It helps us in regulating body temperature, moistens the tissues in the eyes, nose and mouth, as well as transporting critical nutrients and oxygen to our cells (adult human bodies consist of 60% water). But there have been growing trends surrounding something known as ‘alkaline water’ and the potential health benefits.

It is no secret that water is essential to human health, and consuming an adequate amount each day is imperative to maintain proper bodily functions. With this in mind, the quality of the water we drink can also hold a significant impact on our overall health and well-being.

There is much confusion around whether we should be drinking hydrogen water or alkaline water or hydrogen water vs alkaline water and if one is indeed better for you.

As adults, we not only need to manage our own intake, but we also need to deliver the best water to our children and wider family. But what about our pets? How often do we stop to consider the quality of their drinking water? After all, their physiology isn’t so different from our own, given their requirements for internal functions and replenishments.
