All water is not created equal!
We are learning that there’s an additional, fourth, phase of water – in addition to the three standard ones (ice, liquid water and steam) we were taught at school. This fourth phase of water sits between the solid and liquid phases: it is slightly more viscous than liquid water (also called “bulk” water) as its molecules are more regularly arranged than those in standard, bulk water. Structured water is arranged in sheets of hexagonal lattices, which confers a whole host of unique properties, such as the exclusion of certain molecules (hence the name, “exclusion zone” water), conduction of electricity and higher electrical potential and changes in pH (which measures acid-alkaline status).
By weight, we are approximately 60% water – but by molecular count (counting all the molecules that make up all the cells in all of our body parts) we are closer to 99% water. That’s a lot of water, and so the state and qualities of that water will have a direct impact on our health and vitality. Is the water in our body coherent and vital, allowing transmission of nerve signals and other messages? Are the tissues of our bodies nourished by water with greater potential to carry charge and hold electrolytes? In this episode we dive deep into structured water – what it is, why it’s vital to our health, where to find it and how to make more of it.
