An ion is an atom or molecule where the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge. So imagine the universe not only formed by particles as atoms or molecules, but more of these dynamic little structures with electromagnetical and atomic power, ready to unchain all sort of amazing reactions.

As all that constitutes the universe, the water is also energy and the capacity to create it. The oxygen is a key component in the creation of energy, as part of the combustion-metabolization process.

In pure water, when the water has a proportion of 2 hydrogens for each oxygen, the pH is similar to 7, neuter: Neither acid, neither alkaline. This reflects the same quantity of oxidryle ions (H+) and hydroxile ions (OH -).

If we add acidic minerals as sulfur (S) or chlorine (Cl) the number of H+ increases, because the hydrógen atoms give electrons to the acidic minerals. When a bigger quantity of H+ than OH- exists, the water is acidic. If the opposite happens, it will be alkaline.

Alkaline water has less H+ than OH -, therefore, it contains more oxygen.
Acidic water has more H+ that OH -, therefore, it contains less oxygen.

A human body contains 40 liters of lightly alkaline water approximately. A cola glass with a value pH of 2.5 added to 40 liters of water with a pH value of 7.4, will lower the pH of those 40 liters of water to 4.6. Fortunately the homeostasis capacity of our body to maintain the pH of the blood prevents that drinking a glass of cola acidifies our blood far beyond 7.3 to 7.4 because it would be fatal.

To neutralize a cola glass, 32 glasses of alkaline water are needed approximately with a high pH.

The blood, which is basically water, has a pH value that fluctuates between 7.3 and 7.45.
The excess of ions OH- in water with a pH value of 7.45 is 0.0000002463.
The excess of ions OH- in water with a pH value of 7.30 is 0.0000001494.
Blood with a pH value of 7.45 contains 64.9% more oxigen!

The values pH of 7.3 and 7.45 seem very similar, but there is an enormous difference in the quantity of oxygen surplus among the two samples of blood. In an alkaline blood there is much oxygen surplus.

The pH of a liquid solution is measured with a special paper or with a special tester that changes color. If we had special eyeglasses to see the color of the pH the world would be a very colorful place.
