Water molecules tend to clump together to form clusters of 12-13 water molecules. This water clumping is a nuisance as it restricts how well the water can penetrate the cells in your body. When water is ionized, these clusters are reduced to half their size, and thus the hydrating properties of water are improved.

This is something that you feel immediatly after drinking Ionized water - it seems to just disapear, and there is not the same 'bloated tummy' feel that you get after drinking tap water. Somehow, passing water through electricity seems to reset the cluster sizes. This effect lasts for 1-2 months, after which the water clusters revert to 12-13 molecules.

The smaller cluster sizes explains why ionized water is ' wetter '; it has less surface tension, and can penetrate dehydrated body tissues much more effectively. Blood, which is mostly water, is also 'wetter' - if blood falls on clothes, it readily soaks it, you don't get droplets as you do with water. This is because blood has less surface tension.

Naturopaths that have taken photographs of blood cells, clearly see the benefits of ionized water at a cellular level, and insist that their clients get a water ionizer and drink ionized water daily. A UK microscopists says that the hydrating, anti-coagulating effects can be seen in the live blood cell images in 15 minutes.
