Water is important for all people, but there is no time when a woman needs water, in particular alkaline water, more than during pregnancy. 

Drinking Ionized Water During Pregnancy

Almost everyone has a hard time staying pH-balanced these days, but especially gestating mothers. Here are two good reasons for that: 1) The baby needs alkalinity in order to stay healthy and grow properly. He is taking a whole lot of the mother's alkaline buffers while in the womb.  2) The pregnant mother-to-be has not only her own bodily acids that need to be neutralized but also the baby’s. (Note: Almost all bodily wastes are acidic wastes.These acid wastes are expelled, by way of the placenta, back into the mother’s body, but if they build up too much it can be at the root of swelling and many of the other conditions that often arise during pregnancy. The only way the blood can remove acidic wastes is if alkaline buffers are available to bond with them and neutralize them.)

The Need for Water Multiplies While the Pregnant Mother’s Ability to Keep it Down Reduces

The growing baby needs lots of water, not only because it’s body is 75% water, but also the growing amniotic sac is full of almost 100% water. The mother, herself, needs more water. During pregnancy the woman’s blood-volume increases by about 50%. With all this extra need for water, during pregnancy, many women have a hard time keeping water down, because of morning sickness. Alkaline ionized water has two benefits which help with this: 1) it’s micro-clustered [so more water absorbs into cells], and 2) ionized water tends to have a settling effect on a nauseous stomach.

Extensive Studies Showing the Many Benefits of Drinking Ionized Water During Pregnancy

Benefits of drinking ionized water have been demonstrated by tens of thousands of patients of leading Japanese gynecologist, Prof. Watanabe Ifao of Watanabe Hospital, Japan [Head of Gynecology]. His extensive studies have shown that drinking alkaline ionized water can lower the risk of pre-eclampsia, a dangerous condition that develops because of the over-acidity of the mother’s body for an extended time. Dr Wantanabe worked with gynecological patients exclusively. Many of these patients had pre-eclamptic toxemia and made a special trip to see him at his hospital, where he was well-known to have the best results. Dr. Wantanabe used alkaline ionized water to help heal all of these patients.

“Ionized alklaine antioxidant water improves body constituents and ensures effective healing to many illnesses. The uses of antioxidant water in gynecological patients have proved to be very effective. The main reason for its effectiveness is that this water can neutralize toxins. When given antioxidant water to pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, the results are most significant. During my long years of servicing the pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, I found that the women with pre-eclamptic toxemia who consumed antioxidant water tend to deliver healthier babies with stronger muscles. A survey report carried out on babies in this group showed intelligence above average.”

Also, these same  studies have demonstrated that drinking ionized water helps stabilize blood pressure, reduce water retention and reduce the swelling in hands, ankles and feet. Interestingly, the follow-up reporting on patients treated in Dr. Wantanabe’s hospital showed the babies intelligence to be above average as well. There are many benefits of drinking ionized water during pregnancy. this subject has been thoroughly researched.

Drinking Ionized Water Before Pregnancy

Don’t wait until you’re pregnant to get your body into good shape. There are many benefits of drinking ionized water to be had by anyone. Here is some suggested reading:

Drinking Ionized Water After the Baby is Born

Hopefully by the time your baby is born you will see all of the benefits of drinking ionized water. The baby will be alkaline enough for at least the first few years of life, so it’s not suggested to give the infant ionized water. Neutral, filtered water and neutral hydrogen water is great for infants. You will have a lot of recovering to do, probably some weight to lose, and you’ll want to have lots of energy. 

Here is my own testimonial -helping myself and family for over 20 years – drinking alkaline ionized water.
