If you’ve done any research on electrolytes, you know that they are electrically charged mineral ions enhancing electrical conductivity. Electrolytes enhance performance and improve stamina by maintaining optimal levels of electrical conductivity in the body. Most people don’t realize that the right alkaline water is also full of electrolytes.
Electrolyte drinks were introduced in the 1960’s as a fast and effective way to replenish electrolytes during and after periods of extreme physical performance. Over time, concerns about sodium content, sugars and additives also found in these drinks have caused many to look at other alternatives for electrolyte replacement.
Alkaline Water Alternative
Alkaline ionized water is produced through the process of electrolysis. During electrolysis, the water receives an electrical charge which is picked up by the minerals found in the water. Once the minerals are charged they become electrolytes.
Where sports drinks are loaded with sodium and potassium for electrolyte replacement, they are also loaded with sugar and/or artificial sweeteners, carbohydrates, artificial flavors, colors and other additives. While a significant factor in improving performance and stamina is also hydration, the excess carbohydrates and sugars actually interfere with the body’s ability to absorb fluids. Electrolytes are replenished at some level but effective hydration is lost. The result is post-performance fatigue and increased recovery time.
Alkaline ionized water is 100% natural. Impurities are filtered out but nothing is added in. Alkalized water is pure water carrying electrically charged ions (electrolytes) created through ionization. During the ionization process, the water molecules break down and regroup into smaller structured clusters which actually increases hydration potential.
