The Science of Water: What You Drink and Your Immune System

Most people know that their bodies are made up of a great deal of water, but may be surprised to learn that number is about 70 percent—and yet studies show we don’t drink enough to replenish what we need.
Other drinks to be sure, but water? Not even close.
Emphasizing this point is a study conducted by Dr. Alyson Goodman for the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention that suggests one in 10 Americans drinks no water every day.
Zero.
She calls these results “mindboggling.”
“Water is vital for life,” says Goodman. “Many health risks decrease when you drink plain water.”
Goodman believes that the non-water drinkers are getting their water from coffee, sodas, food and other sources, which might theoretically be okay, except for the calories that are associated with those other liquids.
According to Dr. Theodore A. Baroody, in order for a body to function well, it must have water, and in order for it to function properly, it must continuously work to maintain a proper pH or chemical balance.

What Is Micro-Clustered Water, and Why Is It Different

We know that water is essential for life. After all, our bodies are made up of 70 percent to 80 percent of this much needed liquid. Yet, we are just now beginning to grasp the complexity of this natural resource.
To understand this necessary component for survival, we must look at its chemical properties and how it works in and with our bodies.
The water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom to form the famous H2O molecule. However, something you might not know is that water comes in clusters of molecules (not single molecules), and tap water contains very large clusters—approximately 15 molecules per cluster. It’s as if these large groups of water are essentially holding hands.
Translated, that means that when you drink tap water, you will feel fuller longer because of the amount of water molecules that need to be processed by your body for hydration.
Conversely, micro-clustered water, or water that contains only five or six molecules per cluster, will be that much more hydrating, soluble and permeating for the cells and the body. In essence, it’s wetter water, and because there are fewer molecules, more water will be absorbed into the cells at a faster rate.
If it’s confusing, think of it this way: Imagine micro-clustered water as a handful of BB’s compared to a softball. If you throw a softball at a chain link fence, it won’t pass through. However, if you throw the BB’s at a wire fence they will pass through. Micro-clustered water is like that. It permeates the cells of your body, much like the
