Change Your Water and Change Your Life



Water is the single most important resource for the human body. Water is the most
essential nutrient involved in every function of the body. Water accounts for
approximately 70% of an individual’s complete fat free body mass. In order to function
properly, water must be consumed in set quantities in consistent intervals (average of
2.5 liters per day). When not enough water is consumed, people can begin to develop
certain illnesses and even accelerate their aging processes.

Now after establishing the importance of water, one must then think what kind of water
is good to drink? Many people believe that the water concentrations in coffee, sodas,
and energy drinks will be sufficient for the human body to function on optimal levels;
but that is incorrect. Simply stated, the water from these beverages is nothing but
poor quality distilled water.

Your Answer to Hydration and Better Health Lies in Kangen
Water!

What is Kangen Water?



Kangen water is being recognized by more and more people around the world as the purest and healthiest water for the human body. As more and more people have been seeing the benefits of this water, Kangen has gained a vast amount of ground in the
health world to become one of Japan's newest and most popular household names. This delicious water is rich in minerals, purged of free radicals by way of ionization, and can be used in countless ways outside of everyday water drinking.

Kangen Water - "return to origin"

Dating back to its roots in Japan, Kangen Water essentially means “return to origin”. Because this beautiful world of ours has been polluted and soiled with human waste, the human body has not been able to reach optimal growth potential.
Medical studies have long recognized the devastating effects of high levels of acidity in our bodies. Kangen Water has a pH of 8.5 -11.0 which would then make this water basic or an alkaline. In addition to Kangen waters pH level, tests have
also shown a negative ORP (oxidizing reduction potential) rating. Kangen water is perhaps the most effective anti-oxidant and its negative ORP rating further proves that hypothesis. Anti-oxidants can help balance out some of these acids and restore the body to equilibrium or its “original state” as it should be, where we can all grow and flourish.

Free Radicals


Conditions such as exposure to electromagnetic or ultra-violet radiation,alcohol, tobacco, and the stresses that arise in each individual’s daily life can all contribute to the build up of free radicals in one’s body. Free radicals are an
atomic or molecular species with unpaired electrons on an open shell configuration. The unpaired electrons in these free radicals make it very easy to partake in chemical reactions within the body as it searches to fill its outer most
shells with electrons inside of our bodies. Studies have shown that these free
radicals account for 70% of all diseases including some forms of cancer,
diabetes, and speeding up the aging process. A healthier lifestyle can be
achieved immediately as these free radicals are eliminated from our bodies.
Kangen Water simply rids these free radicals from our drinking water and
bodies through the process of ionization.

Recognizing Alkaline Water

As medical studies have recognized for years, the average human body contains acidity levels that can be harmful to the human body. Alkaline and acidic treatment has been widely used in medical treatments in Japan since the 1960s
with success stories of many various illnesses. When patients began requesting medical facilities to continue their treatment in the convenience of their own homes, Enagic Inc. started doing research on how to bring these wondrous machines to the people. After much valuable research, Enagic Inc. of Japan made
medical breakthroughs by bringing fortunate people machines that could dispense pure
alkaline and acidic water to continue their healthy lifestyles in the comfort of their own homes. To say that this company has been successful in the distribution of these devices would be an understatement in Japan as Enagic Inc. has truly
become the top premier water company.

Kangen water - an antioxidant

It is safe to say that Kangen water is an incredible antioxidant. Some may go as
far as to say that Kangen water is more powerful that any single food or vitamin
supplement in the world. Simply stated, Kangen water contains active hydrogen
which supplies vast amounts of free electrons to our body. This process of
electrolysis immediately neutralizes the free radicals in the water and renders it
non-poisonous. Most water electrolysis equipment will not create active
hydrogen in the water; therefore, the equipment merely produces ionized
alkaline water. Because our bodies fluid concentration is roughly two-thirds
water, the antioxidant potential of a single glass of Kangen water would be
much easier for the body to absorb than expensive vitamin supplements.


In fact, instead of breaking down calcium to supply the electrons to neutralize
free radicals, Kangen water supplies the active hydrogen to do the job for you.
When your body retains the extra calcium that is no longer used to break down
free radicals, these calcium minerals can be used to aid in weight loss.

Miracle Healing Water

“Magical miracle healing water” has been found in nature at only a few specific
locations throughout the world. These so called “miracle” water sources have
been discovered in Mexico, Germany, India, China, Australia, and Japan. Large
numbers of people from all over the world wait in line almost every hour of every
day to obtain some of this “magical water” at all of these locations. For many
years, the healing power of this “magical water” was a mystery, but according,
Dr. Sanetaka Shirahata, Graduate School of Genetic Resources Technology,
Kyushu University, these so called “miracle waters” all contain active hydrogen
in the water. Because active hydrogen has an evaporation rate of 0.3-0.7
seconds after generating it, people had to visit these sources to improve on
their chronic illnesses. Kangen water has the same active hydrogen properties
and actually improves on this miracle water. With all said and done, Kangen
Water can now be produced in the comfort of your own home straight from your
tap.


Types of Water

We often call the earth "The Planet of Water"

Roughly 70% of its surface is covered with water. All living things on the
planet rely on water for survival. We need to drink lots of water, but
unfortunately most of the drinking water available to us is simply not
healthy anymore. In some cases, our drinking water is dangerous to our
health.



Tap Water


How do you feel about drinking 8 glasses of tap water each day?
Chlorination makes tap water safe to drink but it can also react with
organic compounds inside your body to produce toxic substances,
especially in your colon. Small amounts of chlorine are added to our
public drinking water supply to kill bacteria and other microorganisms.
This amount of chlorine is small enough for us to drink but it can still kill
bacteria and enzymes in our body essential to digestion.

During a shower, our bodies absorb roughly 2 glasses of this
chlorinated water through our skin. We also inhale the mist and steam
of this water while we shower. Nearly all tap water supplies contain large
amounts of active oxygen (oxidants) and high positive ORP (Oxidation
Reduction Potential) values. Having a high POSITIVE ORP means that
tap water can be very oxidizing, or destructive to your body.



Purified Water Distilled Water and Reverse Osmosis


Distilled water and water purified by reverse osmosis may not have most
pollutants and additives found in tap water, but it also lacks any
minerals naturally found earth's water that are essential to our well
being. These processes remove EVERYTHING from the water, including
helpful minerals.

Since this water contains no minerals or life whatsoever, it leaches vital
minerals and alkaline buffers from our bodies. Distilled water and
reverse osmosis water have no energy or vitality at all and can
contribute to an acidic state in our bodies.



Bottled Water (Including "Mineral Water")


You might think that bottled water is healthier than tap water. But in a
four-year scientific study, The NRDC (Natural Resources Defense
Council) tested more than 1,000 bottles of 103 brands, a third of them
were found to contain contaminants such as arsenic and carcinogens.

Recently, another shocking study showed that over time cancer-causing
toxins such as dioxin leach into the water from the plastic bottle.
Actually, a lot of the bottled "spring" waters are just filtered tap water put
in a plastic bottle. These bottles often remain on store and factory
shelves, unopened for months or even years.

Bottled water is essentially dead water. If you choose your water based
on the package or the brand, you should know that some 95% of the
price you are paying for that bottled water is covering other costs, such
as packaging, advertising, distribution costs, rather than the water itself.

Yet, bottled water is so popular and available almost everywhere. As a
result, the bottled water industry enjoys annual sales of more than $3.5
billion worldwide. 15 years ago people wouldn't spend $3-$5 per day on
bottled water; these days they do.



Alkaline Ionized Water


Alkaline ionized water is by far the healthiest water available today.
Decades of scientific and medical research have gone into its
developement. It is produced by an in-home machine that first filters and
then ionizes tap water. This process splits the water into its alkaline and
acidic parts. The alkaline water is used for drinking. It has tremendous
hydrating and antioxidant qualities, due in part to its smaller water
clusters and abundance of extra electrons created by the ionization
process.



Kangen™ Water - The Highest Grade of Alkaline Ionized
Water



Kangen™ water has the strongest antioxidant power of any alkaline
ionized water. The Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) of Kangen™
water can reach up to -500mV, where most average ionized water
reaches only around -150mV.

The difference is significant. As a matter of fact, regular Alkaline Ionized
Water units are classified as "home health appliance," while Kangen™
Water units are in the "medical device" classification by the Ministry of
Health and Welfare in Japan, which is equivalent to the FDA in the U.S.
Currently, out of 44 companies manufacturing ionized water generators,
Only 6 of them make units certified as Kangen™ Water grade.

Enagic ONLY manufactures certified Kangen™ Water units. And its
quality is considered by many as the best of the best in the industry.

The word "Kangen™" "return to origin" in Japanese. A more general
meanings would be "renewing" or "restoring". Drinking Kangen™ Water
can help "renew" and "restore" a healthy balance in your life.
