The human body consists of over 70% water, with even higher amounts in newborns. It is crucial for a variety of bodily functions including just to name a few; food digestion, waste and toxin removal, energy and cell regeneration, transporting of oxygen throughout the body and powering our immune systems.

A variety of health problems can potentially occur when the body is either too alkaline or too acidic. When the body fluids become too acidic, a condition called acidosis develops. Your kidneys and lungs will not be able to regulate the acid levels due to a variety of reasons, causing either respiratory or metabolic acidosis, which can lead to a range of issues including fatigue and drowsiness, headaches, jaundice, and an increased heart rate.

Water ionizers are normally attached to your kitchen tap to treat your regular tap water with an electrical current that ionizes water. The ionized water is alkaline water that contains large amounts of electrically charged hydroxyl ions as well as free electrons. 

With the rise in plastic manufacturing worldwide, there has been an associated rise in plastic pollution in the external environment. As such, we have found microplastic fibres and particles finding their way into our bottled water and tap water supplies.

Whether it’s the start of a new year, a birthday, reunion, or some other life-changing event, these milestones often prompt us to question how we can improve or what we would like to do differently with our health. At zazen Water, our goal is to help you live a longer, healthier life. We wholeheartedly believe that there are 5 key things we all must do to live our best lives:

Exercise can be as simple as walking for 30 minutes, 3 times a week. Or for those of us who prefer a more active and strenuous approach to exercise, the consequence can cause muscle soreness which leads us to shy away from it (discussed later in this article). Should the body work particularly hard, we can even experience delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which can leave us feeling significant pains for days after.

The Personal Trainers (PT) we work with tell us, one of the first questions they ask their clients before a one on one session is "How much water have you consumed today?".
