Fiber, carbohydrates, calories, and fat are all common terms that people think of when you say “weight loss”. The one word that is truly more important than any of the others is “water”. This little word is the key to a
.
. Toxins are created in your body by the foods you eat, drinks, and your environment. These toxins are flushed out of your system via urine, feces, and sweat, all of which cannot occur without water.
Science labs have studied the effects of water on a person’s metabolism. The results are surprising- water increases metabolism for about half an hour after the water is consumed. So if you drink a glass of water before taking a walk, riding your bike, lifting weights, or even doing the dishes, your body will burn more calories than if you had done the exercise without drinking water beforehand.
You know that drinking more water makes you pee, but did you also know that drinking water helps you pass bowel movements as well? Drinking water prevents constipation, which in turn makes your body work as it is intended. Cleanse your colon, liver, and kidneys daily by drinking good water to feel healthier and have more energy.
Drinking water with or before meals can help you feel full quicker. It is also a fact that hunger signals are sometimes actually thirst signals in disguise. If you are feeling hungry between meals, drink a glass of water. If you are still hungry 15 minutes after drinking water, go ahead and eat a healthy snack. When you drink water before a meal, your body signals you more quickly when you are full from eating. This helps you reduce the amount that you eat without making you feel deprived or still hungry.
. When your body is dehydrated, it retains water to compensate. When you retain water, you can get bloated and you will gain water weight. Drinking a lot of water cuts down or eliminates bloating, and you will find that you drop a couple pounds right away- just from drinking water!
One good way to add water is to replace sugary drinks with water. If you drink a lot of drinks containing caffeine, it may be necessary to slowly replace the drinks with water. For example, if you normally drink six sodas or fruit juices every day, start replacing one soda a day with a glass of water. After a couple days, replace two Cokes with water, and so on. In a couple weeks, you can completely eliminate the sugary drinks by substituting with water. Doing this slowly also allows your body to acclimate to less caffeine and you are less likely to suffer withdrawals or caffeine headaches.
Although you can go a month without food, you would be extremely lucky to survive a week without water. Water truly is the key to losing weight, and improving your overall health. So remember to drink plenty of water when you are trying to lose weight. And drinking ionized alkaline water is the best for your body!

in the human body. It helps to keep the immune system strong and healthy and protects against free-radical damage to the tissues and organs. Pineapple also contains something called manganese. Manganese helps to keep bones strong and healthy. It also works to maintain the health of your nerves and to normalize blood sugar levels. Manganese is also instrumental in the protection of your cells against free-radical damage.
So you see, pineapple is more than a fruit that just tastes great and looks pretty on a platter – it helps to keep you healthy. And when you’re healthy, you’re happy!

IonWays has answered – with the help of Samsung and Emco Tech.
It’s no mystery that the ionization market has moved toward models with more plates. Our beloved Athena has remained the
available and in side-by-side testing has not been outperformed. However, it has become increasing difficult to explain the Athena’s efficiency in light of the seven and nine plate ionizers. Simply put, there are customers who are convinced an ionizer works better just by virtue of the number of plates.

Advanced Technology. Ultimate convenience. High Performance.
- AutoAdjust™ Ionizer performance always varies depending on the minerals present in your water. In other ionizers, this fluctuation in mineral content creates unstable results from day-to-day and from place-to-place. The Vesta GL is the only ionizer that overcomes this for you – automatically. The Vesta GL’s AutoAdjust™ technology consistently creates the ultimate pH and ORP at each level by adjusting the way power is applied to the plates to match the amount of minerals present in your water. The Vesta GL is the first and only ionizer that offers this level of advanced sophistication along with easy to use convenience.
- More Activated Alkaline Water AutoAdjust™ automatically varies the electrical pulse time (or pulse widths) based on the mineral content in your water. This causes the electrodes to act in a more excited and energetic way, creating more active production of oxygen and therefore more activated water. The result is a bigger change in pH and better ORP. With AutoAdjust™ technology, you always get optimal performance and benefit, no matter where you live or what your water quality. Every time. Easy. Automatic. Only from IonWays.
- Smart Switch™ next generation SMPS. The Vesta employs the most-advanced Switch Mode Power Supply technology in order to operate it’s unique AutoAdjust™ feature. Current generations of SMPS offered by other ionizer companies cannot automatically adjust voltage on demand to match varying water conditions. The advanced SMPS used in the Vesta GL is able to deliver that functionality.
- BioStone dual filtration. The Vesta GL offers you dual filtration with our industry leading BioStone filter. Dual BioStone filtration gives you the peace of mind of knowing that your water is not only alkaline and ionized, but BioStone-clean.
- Automatic post-use cleaning. Unlike other ionizers, never worry about the cleaning cycle. With AutoClean you don’t have to wait for your alkaline water. It also protects your investment.
Other Key Features:
- 9 high-efficiency, platinum titanium electrodes deliver more power per square inch than larger, less sophisticated electrodes requiring large wattage. Think small. Think efficient. Think long-term reliable.
- Compact size – smaller than other 9 electrode ionizers
- Sleek mirror faced elegant design by Samsung
- Aesthetic touch screen sensors
- Advanced self-diagnostic “Smart” circuitry system
- Real-time screen display of estimated pH and ORP
Energy-saving, advanced water flow sensor.

has launched. Many of you are now enjoying clean and healthy water on the go! If you have missed the excitement, the elita bottles filter the water up to 99.99% clean, then
the water as you draw water through the straw / filter assembly in the bottle.Don’t miss out on the peace of mind they can give you when you are away from your ionizer!
For less the $130 you can have alkaline, ionized, and super clean water wherever you go with the elita PHd! A portable water ionizer that you can enjoy
everywhere!
At Ionways, they are working right now to enhance to the lineup through incorporating ideas and suggestions received as well as the launch of the next round of products. One major goal is to broaden the design appeal and functionality of the Brita-style pitcher, including eliminating the flush kit requirement. The upgraded Biostone filter incorporating the elita technology is also still on track. I cannot promise any dates yet, but we can expect both to be ready near the end of the first quarter of 2012, give or take a month.
The redesign of the elita QL100 is also still in progress, but due to some major upgrades, will not be ready until the third quarter this year. To remove any confusion about the availability, we are removing the elita page from the Ionways website.
Last, but not at all least, Ionways will be announcing a new ultra high-end electric ionizer next week. This new model was the result of a collaboration between our manufacturer (Emco Tech) and engineers from a major name brand electronics manufacturer. It will clearly set a new standard for our industry. We already have inventory in our Reno warehouse and are working on finishing up the behind-the-scenes details and marketing.
Stay tuned for next week’s Flow – you will not be disappointed!
