Alkaline Water Supports Improved Hydration, Performance and Recovery Time in Athletes
Alkaline water is used by athletes all over the world, including professional sports teams. Why?
Improved Hydration
Ordinary tap water is typically found in groups of 10-20 water molecules. When it’s subjected to electrolysis in this particular water ionizer, these clusters are broken apart into much smaller “micro-clusters” of 5-6 molecules, which are absorbed much faster and easier by our cells, allowing for rapid rehydration.
Athletes also report that they don’t get that full, bloated feeling that’s typical when consuming a large amount of water post-workout. Micro-clusters of ionized alkaline water are absorbed quickly, so you can comfortably consume enough water to rapidly rehydrate.
Antioxidant Benefits
With the highest negative ORP (oxidation reduction potential) antioxidant capacity available, ionized alkaline water effectively combats oxidative damage from the stresses of training and competition.
Improved Athletic Performance
Better hydration and pH balance with the use of this particular ionized alkaline water facilitates improved utilization of dietary nutrients in athletes, especially protein. Improved oxygenation of cells and rapid flushing of lactic acid and other metabolic waste products reduces muscle fatigue and improved athlete endurance.
Faster Workout Recovery Time
Hydration is essential for flushing lactic acid and other metabolic wastes from our muscles during and after a workout. Lactic acid build-up in muscles causes fatigue and muscle soreness. Micro-clustered alkaline water facilitates rapid, more complete flushing of built-up lactic acid from muscles and joints, reducing muscle cramping and soreness, as well as joint pain and breakdown of cartilage over time.
An All-Natural, Safe and Legal Performance Enhancer
All athletes want that “edge” wherever they can get it, within safe and legal limits established by their sport. Alkaline water enhances not only athletic performance but overall health and longevity.
