Rehydrating for Optimal Health
W
ater is essential for life and health. Everyone knows this. But not all water is made the same. Ionized alkaline water, for example, takes complete advantage of the science of hydration. Scientists can measure hydration, or dehydration, by the thickness of blood, also known as blood viscosity. The more dehydrated you are, the thicker your blood becomes. Chronic dehydration can have negative effects, which is why water is so important to our bodies. Water that is produced through an ionization process yields a pure water with a high pH level that has shown to be more effective at reducing blood viscosity and improving rehydration than a leading bottled water brand, according to a recently published clinical study. The study, published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (JISSN), used a sample of 100 healthy adults (50 men and 50 women) aged 25 to 49 years, who were randomized to drink either standard purified bottled water or Essentia, a high-pH, ionized alkaline water. Those who drank the Essentia water following exercise-induced dehydration showed significantly better rehydration compared to the other leading bottled-water brand. “These findings underscore Essentia’s superior impact on hydration, important to a variety of lifestyles, and reinforces our commitment to providing a unique, effective, and quality product,” says the company in a statement. In addition, Essentia is the only bottled water featured in the

Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR) to alert clinicians to the latest research on optimal hydration. Essentia’s unique ionization process consists of three specific parts. First, water from any source is passed through micro-filters, reverse osmosis and ultraviolet exposure to achieve a purity of 99.9 percent. Pure alkaline electrolytes such as magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium bicarbonate are infused in trace amounts creating a perfect blend for a clean, smooth taste. From there, bitter-tasting acidic water ions are removed, producing an ionized-9.5-ph-or-higher alkaline water that’s better at rehydrating. Essentia’s bottles are free of BPA (bisphenol A and phthalates), and are recyclable anywhere in the United States. Visit www.essentiawater.com for more information about the clinical study -NewsUSA
To Save More For Your Future, Avoid These Four Pitfalls any adults suffer from often-painful eye conditions like dry eye and blepharitis.
But surprisingly, these conditions also afflict many children, says Steven J. Lichtenstein, M.D., Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery and Pediatrics at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, and Medical Director of Pediatric Ophthalmology at Children’s Hospital of Illinois. “I see many children in my private practice at the Illinois Eye Center,” says Dr. Lichtenstein, an internationally recognized expert on pediatric ophthalmology. “Some of them have blepharitis, where bacteria on the eyelids contribute to inflammation, pain, and a crusty buildup of debris on the eyelids.” Others have dry eye, where small glands near the eyelid margins, called meibomian glands, get blocked. “These glands produce a crucial layer of the tear film that helps keep the eyes lubricated with tears, so the blockage can cause dry eye or inflammation,” Dr. Lichtenstein explains. In fact, children can be especially at risk for these conditions, ophthalmologists say. “The reason is that these problems are caused or exacer-
bated by bacteria and tiny parasitic mites that live on the eyelids,” says Dr. Lichtenstein. “Children may add to the microbial populations by rubbing their eyes or failing to wash their faces frequently.” In the past, doctors treated young patients with warm compresses, antibiotics or steroids. But none of these is ideal. “The warm compresses typically bring only temporary relief, while steroids and antibiotics have side effects that are often more worrisome in children than in adults,” says Dr. Lichtenstein. But recently, Dr. Lichtenstein and others have turned to a more effective and safer approach—an eyelid hygiene product called Avenova® with Neutrox from NovaBay Pharmaceuticals. “Avenova kills and removes the bacteria and mites, directly fighting the cause of blepharitis, meibomian gland blockage and other problems,” says Dr. Lichtenstein. Dr. Lichtenstein reports that Avenova makes the inflammation, pain and other problems go away—and that the children say that Avenova feels refreshing, brings quick relief and is easy to use. These attributes also increase compliance, which is a cornerstone of any successful treatment. -(NAPSI)
