Water is the substance of most life. It lubricates, flushes, hydrates, refreshes and cleanses. But all water is not equal, just as all gasoline is not equal. There are different grades of gasoline. You don't put 85 octane in a Mercedes if you want to retain the high quality performance of the vehicle.
By the same token, if you want your body to perform well, you need to keep it properly flushed by drinking water that hydradates it well. Keeping the pH in your body balanced, is key.
When we comsume acidic foods and beverages (which is the majority of what we eat and drink), we become overly acidic and risk "acidosis," which leads to degenerative diseases, so we need to fight the battle against excess acidity.
Only by consuming more ALKALINE, by eating more raw fruits and veggies or water, can we help our bodies get back to the 7.0, or neutral pH, our bodies fight to maintain.
In the United States, we are in a Health Crisis!
So it's imperative that WE do what WE can to take better care of our bodies. Wouldn't you agree?
In 2007, I was challenged to create a healthier lifestyle because of my own health issues (arthritic pain in my hip, weight gain, high cholesterol and poor circulation) and lack of health benefits.
I first learned about how too much acid in our bodies can cause problems when listening to my Tony Robbins' CD set, "Get The Edge." I had the same unexplained pain he described in himself. He shared how he learned about the need for alkaline balance in the body to relieve his pain.
I proceeded to do my own research on alkalinity vs. acidity in the body, which ultimately led me to Kangen Water, 3 years later. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. I was READY!
I learned unexplained pains we feel could be the result of retaining too much acid in our bodies and that could lead to degenerative diseases.
It might start with weight gain, obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or arthritis, then lead to life threatening conditions like diabetes, cancer, heart disease and the list goes on.
But there is something we can do...
We can fight back by drinking high alkaline Kangen water with a pH of 8.5, 9.0 or 9.5! It can balance out and/or neutralize the acid in our overly acidic bodies.
Unfortunately, in America, most of what we consume is ACIDIC--cooked foods, animal protein (meat), processed foods, white sugar, alcohol, sodas, even most bottled water!
After learning this, I began changing my eating and drinking habits. I made a conscious decision to ALKALIZE more by eating more raw fruits and vegetables first, and being more conscious of what I put in my body.
I now get my "alkaline fix" by buying raw fruit from the Mexican "Frutas Carts" that are scattered around the streets of Los Angeles. I'm not sure if the chili powder, salt and fresh squeezed lime juice they top it with, reduce its alkalinity, but I figured it's better than eating a Snickers bar. Four dollars and I get a pound of freshly cut watermelon, cucumbers, honeydew, cantaloupe and mango. It was delicious, cheap and ALKALINE!
I also bought Alkaline drops at about $30/bottle (a month's supply), to put into my bottled water, UNTIL I learned about KANGEN WATER by attending a wonderful Japanese buffet luncheon at Hokkaido Restaurant in Newport Beach, CA.
Aside from enjoying a wonderful, all-you-can-eat Japanese buffet, at Hokkaido, I learned:
about water properties, in general
Kangen water benefits
the VALUE of the machine (cost, capabilities/uses and lifespan: 15-20 yrs.)
BENEFITS of owning a machine
the Enagic business
how the machine is sold
and the financial potential of being an Enagic distributor.
I HAD to compare what I was already doing to what sounded like a better plan.
After calculating the cost of the Alkaline drops I was buying--a three month supply of 3 bottles for $89, over 15 years=$5,340.00! And I hadn't even bought any water yet, Click to BUY the Enagic LeveLukSD501 NOW! It's a much wiser investment for my health AND money!
Talk about value and ROI! The Kangen water system makes 5 types of water, in addition to the 8.5, 9.0 and 9.5pH alkaline drinking water!
Since drinking Kangen and maintaining an overall change in my food consumption, my hip pain is almost ZERO. I've maintained my weight loss, my feet don't swell and I have more energy.
Over time, I went from 177 pounds to weighing 151 and holding! That seems to be the desirable weight according to my critics. : )Yaaay!
As a result, I'm dedicating this page to providing tools and advice for BETTER HEALTH, so that you too, can get the information and education about how ALKALINITY benefits our magnificent bodies.
We can become healthier and enable our bodies to do what God intended--to stay healthy and to heal ourselves, as we strive to maintain the proper pH balance.
According to the Cancer Journal of Clinicians website, there are striking variations in the risk of developing different cancers depending on where you live. Most of the variations are due to risk factors related to lifestyle, diet or environment, and makes it difficult to prevent cancer and other degenerative diseases.
"We age because we accumulate acidic waste products" in our bodies, according to Sang Whang, author of ‘Reverse Aging’.
As you know our bodies are 70% water, so it plays a key role in maintaining good health. Water performs three basic functions in our bodies:
- to transport nutrients to our cells
- to carry away toxic wastes from the cells
- and to regulate our body temperature through hydration.
The accumulation of acids in the body, together with poor circulation throughout the cells, is the major cause of degenerative diseases, according to Japanese researchers.
Degenerative diseases caused BY ACIDITY include:
high blood pressure
arthritis
gout
diabetes
indigestion
osteoporosis
cardiac disorders
and various cancers, etc.
The following conditions can be relieved by drinking ALKALINE water:
- asthma
- angina
- migraine headaches
- back pain
- colitis pain
- constipation
- heartburn and hiatal hernia
- depression
- chronic fatigue syndrome
- high cholesterol
- morning sickness
- overweight problems
- and heart problems needing bypass surgery.
There are a couple of theories about the causes of aging:
- Aging is based on GENETICS (see GeneWize in the links below), which determines how many times cells can regenerate, or how many times new cells can replace old ones. When that number is reached, you age and ultimately die.
- The breakdown of glucose (blood sugar), a simple sugar, is an important energy source in living organisms, causes aging.
Whichever theory you accept, what will you do to stop, hinder or slow down your aging process? Or at least, lead you to better health and a better quality of life?
Drinking ALKALINE WATER may be the most responsible thing you can do for your life to slow down the onslaught of disease and aging.
