Hi,

The reason would be that if you were talking about pure distilled water, that this kind of water may not be able to carry an electrical current!

It is neccessary for the water to contain certain minerals salts, which the addition of some Lemon juice and regular salt may provide!

As an added note: Sea Salt may provide more ability of the solution to carry an electrical current than just plain salt!

Smile Tis your choice.

Water today, whether it is tap or bottled (even fresh water sources) is a far cry from what it was 100s of years ago when it ran over rocks and soil picking up all sorts of minerals in solution with a neutral or slightly alkaline pH. Animals including man required this "food" for survival.

The lemon and Sea Salt help to bring the water into a state where it can be better utilized and absorbed by the body.

While in college, I did a paper on acid rain. In northern Europe some of their lakes and ponds had become so acidic that all life in them died and they had become sterile. In an attempt to bring the pH back into alignment they dumped lime into them... but apparently used too much. The larger animal population, particularly the moose were getting sick, and some died. It is all about balance. We have to pay attention to our bodies, listen to them and live/eat/drink accordingly.

as an aside and for comment:

I am beginning to believe that our tonsils are (were as in my case cause my parents had mine removed; wish I had them now) our early warning signal from the body’s immune system. Learn how to listen to the tonsils (among other body parts/functions) physical reaction to your physical state, live/eat/drink accordingly in response and you most likely will live as disease free as possible.

here is an article on lemon water, don't know if it was the one you read but it should help you out.

Found these very interesting and learned even more about water/lemon benfits...
