Living Water: Why Water Structure Matters
Water is the foundation of all life. And few people realize that every natural water has a structure. It circulates across the Earth, changes its form, composition, and properties, yet remains part of a single system.
For thousands of years, people drank raw natural water directly from springs. It was pure, living, and structured. Only in recent centuries did the need arise for additional treatment and filtration. While this makes water safe, it also changes its properties and structure — turning it into “technogenic” water, less natural for the human body.
What makes structured water special?
In raw water, molecules are arranged in a specific order. This water has a hexagonal (six-sided) structure, similar to that of melted water — “liquid ice.” Healthy, living cells are surrounded by exactly this type of water.
Why it matters:
-
structured water is absorbed more easily;
-
it freely penetrates cells;
-
supports the body’s natural functioning;
-
serves as the “building framework” for cells.
OGGI RAW is raw artesian water that preserves its natural structuring. Thanks to its organized molecular structure, it is as close as possible to the body’s cellular fluid, helping to maintain health at a deep level.
The orderliness of molecules is the key sign of high-quality living water.
pH of Water: Why It Matters for Health and Quality of Life
What is pH?
The hydrogen index (pH) is one of the key parameters of water quality. It determines whether the medium is acidic or alkaline and directly affects the chemical and biological processes in water.
Important not to confuse:
-
Acidity / alkalinity – the amount of substances in water.
-
pH – an intensity indicator showing the degree of acidity or alkalinity.
Neutral, Acidic, and Alkaline Water
-
Neutral water: pH = 7
-
Drinking water standards: pH 6.0–9.0
-
Minimum for life in water: pH = 5
Logarithmic pH scale:
-
pH 6.0 → 10 times less acidic than pH 5.0
-
pH 4.0 → 100 times more acidic than pH 6.0
This means even a small pH shift makes a huge difference for both water and the human body.
What Influences pH of Water?
-
Carbonates and bicarbonates ↑ raise pH
-
Sulfates and some impurities ↓ lower pH
Thus, the composition of water directly defines its “character.”
pH and the Human Body
Our body constantly regulates acid–alkaline balance to keep internal fluids within a stable range.
Normally, most body fluids are slightly alkaline.
Both acidic and alkaline products are needed for metabolic processes, but acids form about 20 times more than alkalis.
If this balance is disrupted, immunity suffers, energy drops, and diseases may develop.
Why Alkaline Water is Beneficial
Research shows that regular consumption of alkaline water (pH 8.5–9.0) can increase quality of life and longevity by 20–30%.
Drinking water is the foundation of health. It is even more important than food — because our bodies are made up of much more water than food.
