Water Has New Molecular Properties: Scientists

  • August 18, 2018

A surprising new finding has scientists excited about the molecular properties of water — a finding that sets everything we thought we knew about water on its head. Researchers discovered the twist to water’s true molecular properties when they employed nuclear magnetic resonance methods (similar to an MRI) to show that the difference in lifetimes of the two ions in water produces an asymmetry in its molecular makeup not previously known, The Economic Times said.

Water is the most basic of needs for life, and it seems like every day we’re learning something new about it. You're probably well aware of the fact that your body is composed mostly of water, which is needed for a number of physiological processes and biochemical reactions, including but not limited to blood circulation, metabolism, regulation of body temperature, waste removal and detoxification.

But did you know there are different KINDS of water? And that a certain type of water is more beneficial, indeed critical, than regular H2O? To that end, the study of structured water is a fascinating one. Also referred to as the “fourth phase of water,” structured water can both hold and deliver energy, much like a battery.

You can build structured water in your cells by drinking pure water, such as gravity-fed spring water; by consuming coconut water and/or turmeric; drinking vegetable juice; walking barefoot on the ground, as well as exposing your body to sunlight; and by using an infrared, full-spectrum sauna.

Also important is knowing how to properly hydrate yourself so that you are maximizing your water intake at the cellular level. You see, proper hydration is not simply infusing your body with water. Specifically, this means making sure that you’re getting water inside your cells rather than just trying to ingest or infuse it until your urine runs clear. For more information on how to do this in a few easy steps, please see my article on hydrating at the cellular level.
