Water is Our Body's More Important Resource
What water is important? Until I went on the detox diet and started drinking a lot of water and eliminating all sodas, even diet sodas, regular coffee and tea, I did not realize how much my body needed water. I was dehydrated and miserable. Tired and sleepy. I was drinking a pot of coffee a day! Yes a day to be awake and to chase after my kids and run my business, until one day i decided to change my health. Bad habits can become a part of your life so the good habits can be a part of your life as well.
Interesting fact that one glass of water can stop night hunger for all the dieters, according to university of Washington study.
The medical research is powerful and it shows that 5-6 glasses of water a day decreases the risk of colon cancer by 44% plus reduce the breast cancer risk by 80%. That is powerful guys. It is water. That is all.
For the body to function in harmony it must be hydrated well. The qualities of water determine our health quality. Water changes body temperature and helps all organs to function normally, especially digestive tract. By doing that, it removes all toxins from body.
70-80% in our body is water:
1. our body is made up of 60-75% of water
2. The brain is made up of 85% of water.
3. Our blood is about 91% water
4. Our brain is about 80% water
I was not drinking water, I never was thirsty much but when I forced myself basicly to drink water I was getting more thirsty. We must drink water every hour to prevent dehydration. If we are too thirsty then we really get dehydrated and it reflects on our skin, sleep paterns and mood. I experienced all the skin problems, sleep problems and even mood swings, so from my personal experience drinking water became the powerful element in the healthy diet.
We must listen to our bodies and watch our body and it will tell us when you need water. Kangen water for example is very hydrating water due to the fact it has smallest clusters of water molecules and they get into the system faster than any other drinks out there.
Kangen Water Neutralizes Free Radicals
We've all heard the terms "free radicals" and "anti-oxidants", but do you know what they really mean? Free radicals are unstable oxygen atoms that cause oxidation in our bodies, which brings about the aging process. An increase in free radicals can be caused by such things as pollution and contaminated food and water. To illustrate the effects of free radicals, think of an apple after it has been sliced open. As the oxygen in the air comes into contact with the surface of the apple, it begins to turn brown. Another similar effect is seen when metal is left out in the sun-- it begins to rust. This rusting is oxidation, and that is exactly what is happening on the inside of our bodies, but luckily Kangen water can help combat this!
Kangen water is an extremely potent anti-oxidant. Kangenwater acts as an essential component in maintaining optimal health because of its ability to neutralize free radicals. Its ability to slow down the aging process is the closest thing you can find to a fountain of youth! Nothing out there compares to the anti-oxidizing benefits of Kangen water.
Kangen Water - An Antioxidant
In fact, Kangen water is so powerful as an antioxidant that your body will no longer have to use up calcium to supply electrons to free radicals. Check out the movies on our website... one will show how your body retaining more calcium will lead to weight loss.

The Problem: Obesity
9 MILLION OBESE CHILDREN AND TEENS IN NORTH AMERICA
ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?
This is not a difficult question to answer. Just by feeling your body, looking at your body, and being honest with yourself - you will find your answer. It is not something to feel bad about, it is merely a condition that needs to be treated like any other. In fact, letting yourself sink into depression over this dis-ease only helps to perpetuate it.
"Underweight", "overweight", "obesity", and "morbid obesity" are all medical terms for when a person is greater or less than the healthy weight for a given height. These are serious conditions and should be treated as you would any other dis-ease.
It is not an issue of beauty, it is an issue of health. The medical community states that an overweight or obese person is at greater risk for many dis-eases and illnesses.
Hypertension
Type 2 diabetes
Stroke
Sleep apnea
Cancer (colon, uterine, and breast)
Gallbladder disease
The list goes on...
WHAT CAUSES OBESITY?
When you feed your body more energy (calories) than what your body uses in a day, the excess energy is stored as fat. The cause of this calorie imbalance may differ from one person to another:
√ Eating too much foods that are high in fat / energy
√ Eating foods that are acidic
√ Lack of physical activity
√ Psychological stress
√ Genetics (this does not mean that you MUST be obese!)
When the body takes in excessive sums of acidic foods (average American diets), it needs to expel these acids to avoid damage to the body. This is a function of the liver and kidneys. Shallow breathing, lack of exercise, excessive alcohol, and other toxicity exposures can lead to liver stress and kidney malfunction. Then the acids in the body do not always get eliminated as they should.
What is your body to do at this point? If it can't eliminate the acids, then it has to store them.
Alkaline is the opposite of acid. Increasing your body's alkalinityaids the body's natural acid elimination functions, thus decreasing the stored acids / fat. If your body CAN get rid of these acid wastes, it will not store them!
It is also important to note that during the process of storing these acids, the body uses minerals from other partsof your body to balance the effect of the stored acids. It will take potassium, magnesium and calcium from your bones in order to properly handle the stored acids (fat). Potassium and magnesium leaves your body while calcium goes into your blood; and now your bones are that much weaker.
WHAT CAN BE DONE?
By eliminating the causes of your excess weight or obesity, your body will become healthier and happier!
- Exercise, use your body! Find physical activities that you can enjoy!
- Change your diet. Review this list of common acid and alkaline foods. Eat well-balanced meals containing less animal protein, cheese/dairy, alcohol, soda, refined/processed foods, saturated fats, artificial additives and chemicals. Introduce more whole foods, vegetables and fruits, and alkaline grains into your daily diet.
- Drink plenty of alkaline water!
- Changing your diet is often a difficult process. Luckily, advances in technology have delivered the ability to create extremely alkalized water with potent anti-oxidizing properties.
- Changing the water you drink is much easier than the food you enjoy! Although we don't recommend it as a substitute to eating more healthy, we certainly feel that high alkaline water is a great step towards balancing your body!
