The Benefits Of Drinking Ionized Water
Studies have shown that humans are born containing about 90% water. This amount gradually reduces to 70% as an adult and and less
than 50% just before we pass away. One of the many reasons we human age is due to the insufficient amounts of healthy hydrating water.
As illustrated above, the importance of water to our body is undeniable. Due to that, the quality of drinking water should
therefore be treated with the highest regard and taken seriously.
The benefits are endless; to reverse the aging process, for detoxification purposes, cleanse, regenerate and much more.
Firstly, all living things are made up of water in most parts. The life of Animals and plants are supported by the chemical
reactions in water.
In the Western world, there has been a rise in the popularity of studies on the need to maintain a balance in our bodies'
alkaline and acidic components. It has been scientifically proven in Japan and Asia for the past 25 years that there exists a strong correlation
between body pH and good health and the many challenges faced to maintain a proper balance. Independent research in the US has proven that
ionized alkaline water contributes to the securing and maintaining a good health.
There is a general misconception that pure water refers to filtered, bottled or reverse osmosis water and that the only important
factors are the removal of bacteria, viruses and chlorine. We tend negate the value of several vitally important issues such as hydration
ability, the presence of oxygen, free radical scavenging hydroxyl and negative ions.
“Kangen” water machines provide filtered water with all of the above benefits included as well. The machine can be easily
installed in laundry faucet rooms, kitchen or bath. It is only slightly larger than the size of a toaster and can be placed in either the sink or
counter amongst other places. The “diverter spigot” will allow one to choose between ionized and regular tap water. It also allows for different
levels of acidic and alkaline water, each with its respective health benefits. To top it off, the portable machine allows for easily
transportation for use in places such as hotels, homes, cruise ships and many more.

Ionized Water, What Is It?
Ionized Water contains a negative charge (known as ORP, refer below). It is also oxygen-filled, alkaline in nature and contains
millions hydroxyl ions (natural antioxidant bubbles). There are two antioxidant elements in ionized water; the fee radical scavengers hydroxyl
ions and the negative charge. The antioxidant qualities are parallel in importance as that of the alkalinity is to the ionized water.
Due to these unique elements, ionized water is detoxifying. For those who wish to detoxify their bodies, they must bear in mind
not to drink ionized water too quickly as not to cause the body shock due to the fast detoxification. Instead, it should be drank constantly over
a long term to give the body the proper leverage to adjust itself. Ionized water, or also referred to as Kangen water, reduced water or micro
clustered water due to its smaller molecular grouping, allowing it to effectively cleanse and hydrate the body deep down to the cellular
level.
The hydration caused by drinking will in turn flush out the toxins in the body. The toxins exit the body through the excretory
system through our urine, sweat and feces.

ORP, What Is It?
Water contains either a “positive” or “negative” ORP (short for Oxidation Reduction Potential) and measured in millivolts (mV).
Everything we ingest can either age (oxidize) or have an “anti-aging” effect on us. Sliced Apples turning brown and metal getting rusty are
classic examples of oxidation or aging. It is the process of negative ORP that is beneficial as it will reduce aging (oxidation) and thus
sometimes also referred to as “anti-oxidant.”
Among some of the many sources of negative ORP are uncooked, raw food, in waterfalls and oceans as well as ionized, fresh water.
Positive ORP, which increases aging (oxidation) can be found in sources such as tap water, distilled, most bottled water and reverse osmosis
water, cooked and processed foods and beverages as well as acidic beverages such as soda, coffee, beer, wine and liquor.
ORP is the most active and strongest element in ionized water, is fragile and can last up to 72 hours in the water restructured
through the Kangen water machines. Ionized water is best taken fresh to utilize the full potential and benefits. The greatest benefits are
received when drinking as much as a gallon a day.
Most people will bring a water bottle or two along with them when leaving the house. Just remember not to drink any water that
has been under any condition where the plastic bottles will become warm or heated. Poisonous toxins from the plastic can leach into the water as
they become overheated. Leaving a bottle in your car, for instance can cause the plastic bottle to become very hot, even in 70% weather. Do not
drink any water that has become warm or heated.

The Many Benefits Of Drinking Kangen Water
Among the many benefits of Kangen water are its ability to cleanse acidic waste from our tissue and cells due to its alkalinity
nature with a high pH level. “Pure water” such as reverse osmosis and distilled water should be avoided at all cost as they are acidic in nature
and contribute to the disease potential due to acidic overload.
-Ionized water increases the effectiveness of the digestive enzymes, burns body fat, assisting in weight reduction while
increasing the acidophilus bacteria which functions in the reduction of harmful bacteria and parasites.
-Ionized water increases the taste in food, helps digestion, absorbs nutrient more efficiently while decreasing the acidity in food. Beans
soak in shorter period, water boil quicker with a faster tea-brewing time.
-Ionized water contributes to the overall improvement of health by balancing the pH level.
-Ionized water rejuvenates our skin healing it from the inside out; causing one to be more alert and energized due to its high oxygen
content. It also hydrates the body 6 times more in comparison to conventional water.

Why Is The pH In Your Water Important?
Using Kangen water machines, the drinking alkaline pH level can be adjusted at between 8.5 pH to 9.5 pH with a maximum level of
the non-drinking water at 11.5 pH to remove pesticides and toxins from fruits and vegetables among the many other uses.
The pH scale ranges from the most acidic at 0 to the highest alkalinity level at 14. The scale is exponential with a multiple of
10 between each level; 4 being 10 times more acidic than 5, 100 times more than 6 and 1000 times more than the neutral pH level of 7. With our
blood having to try and maintain a level of 7.365.
One of the most damaging products on the market today are cola-based sodas having a pH level of 2.3 pH with other sodas at a 4
pH.
Sodas are flat out detrimental to our health. Drinking these highly acidic drinks decreases the balance of our bodies pH level.
When this happens, our bodies will compensate with alkaline minerals obtained from elsewhere such as our bones and muscle; the pH level of our
body is maintained at the expense of our health.
Most diseases thrive in an acidic environment yet cannot survive in an alkaline environment. Ionized water protects and aids our
body by helping it to control the never ending battle to maintain a pH level of 7.365.
Other components that are water-filled are: liver 90%, brain 85%, cells 85%, bone 35%, blood 83%, heart 79%, lungs 79%, muscles
76%, spleen 76%, intestines 75%, skin 72%, kidneys 83% and body fat 10%.
High levels of acidity due to poor diet, including acidic water, are highly vulnerable to all kinds of diseases. The more acidic
a person is, the more likely he or she will be in developing a wide variety of diseases.
As diseases begin to take hold within the body, the acidic environment will further spread and the bodies overall health will
continue to decline until disease will consume one's health completely.
An acidic environment, if not treated will lead to inflammation and free radical damage as well as decrease oxygen which will in
turn kill healthy cells. Kangen water as well as food high in alkalinity will neutralize the acid in the body and flush it out through the
kidneys instead of allowing it to be stored in areas such as the organs, fat cells, joints and glands.

Why Everyone Should Avoid Drinking Non-Ionized Water?
Reverse osmosis, distilled water or purified water should be avoided as all of the beneficial minerals have been removed. In
other words, they are merely pure H20. Water, in nature is not completely “pure”. Water in this “pure” state absorbs carbon dioxide from the air
which in turn destroys the alkaline elements that are so vitally needed in our bodies. “Pure” water will increase the levels of acid, destroy
important minerals from bones and teeth and cause the body to be dehydrated. Don’t be fooled by bottled water with such deceptive labels like
that of “Smart Water”. It is not a “smart” idea to drink water that is high in acidity and damaging to the body. Neither is it wise to drink
other purified water such as Aquafina or Dasani water, etc… as these also fall into the highly acidic category. Do you know what Evein actually
means? The French actually named this bottled water, Evein because if you arrange the letters backwards it means nieve. The fact is, we are VERY
NIEVE to be drinking bottled water.
We have all been lead to believe that drinking bottled water saves us from the damages caused by tap water. Water that costs us
less than pennies per gallon when bottled water costs us more than the price of GAS per gallon!
Tap water is neutral, yet it is full of chemicals, which is why we turn to bottled water in the first place. Neither is a good
choice. But at least tap water is basically FREE.

What Is The Importance Of Oxygen In Water?
Oxygen is parallel in importance to us as water is; it keeps us alert and full of energy. Nobel Prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg
demonstrated in 1931 that the high oxygen level contained in ionized water is helpful in destroying cancer cells. He showed though studies that
cancer cells ceased to live in high alkaline internal environments that high in oxygen levels.

Understanding Low ph/Acidic Water
Positive ORP water is oxidized and very acidic. This low pH level is extremely handy in destroying bacteria due to its oxidizing
nature. This type of water should only be used externally for non-drinking purposes such as:
-Cleaning kitchen counters, cutting board and other areas where bacteria such as salmonella and other meat born bacteria can
grow.
-Can aid in the healing of skin abrasions, fungus and acne. As well as helping to decrease itch and irritation from bug bits an other skin
issues.
-It is very effective when used as a hair conditioner.
-As a substitute for toothpaste; good for plaque removal.
-A 2.6 pH level or lower destroys bacteria from fresh produce like fish and meat.
-Used to assist growth in plants and to promote general plant health such sprouts, wheat grass and herbs.
-Used to extend the life of cut flowers of up to 10 days.

What Is The Recommended Amount Of Water To Drink?
Water is most important for the body and ionized water is incomparable in all aspects. Ionized water is the bodies best defense
against disease. Studies show that over 60% of all chronic illnesses would be drastically lowered if people drank a sufficient amount of ionized
water.
“Japanese and some American hospital research have found ionized water useful for the treatment of cancer, diabetes, intestinal
problems, liver problems, and other chronic diseases. Alkalized ionized water can play a powerful roll in reversing the degenerative results of
an acid system. This is a revolutionary health break-through. The ionized water replicates the living qualities of high altitude mountain spring
water.” - Gabriel Cousens, MD
For the best results, a person is recommended to drink his/her weight in ounces. However, drinking a gallon a day for most people
seems to be just about right. Children should drink as much as they feel the need to drink.
What is important is drinking as much as YOUR body needs. Every one is different. One thing you will notice is that your body
will tell you what it wants. Many people discover this once their body begins to re-hydrate and flush out toxins. If you have serious health
issues, you may find a great deal of relief through drinking a gallon a day. Then if you cut back to less than a gallon, you might notice an
increase in your symptoms. This is your body telling you what it needs.
Drink as much as your body needs, no more, no less.
In Conclusion, the ionized water produced by the Kangen water machines contains the following 5 advantages:
1. The Kangen water machines produced by Enagic include a superior quality water filter that removes harmful and
dangerous contaminants, including extremely harmful contaminants like chlorine.
2. Ionized water produced is an effective anti-oxidant thus containing anti-aging elements!
3. Ionized water is high in oxygen level with an abundance of energy and metal elements. The highly valuable benefit is
in the recent discoveries showing that cancer and other diseases cannot thrive in an oxygenated, alkaline environment such as that contained
in ionized water.
4. Ionized water contains micro-clustered groups of 5 or 6 regular hexagonal or pentagonal-shaped molecules compared to
normal water which contains cluster groups of 10-12 irregular shaped molecules. The regular shaped molecules in ionized water makes it easier
for the water to be absorbed into the capillaries which will lead to better detoxification and hydrate the body well.
5. Ionized alkaline water flushes out the acidic waste in the body. High acidity is the main cause for diseases as well
as major contributors to the aging process and excessive fat stores.
Once we understand the value of this ionized water, we begin to see why the testimonials of those drinking Kangen water are so
amazing. Once you begin drinking this water you too will understand and FEEL the wonderful benefits so you too can become healthier, more
energetic, and less effected by the daily bombardment of acidic elements that are found in the water we drink, air we breath and food we eat.
Side Note: If there is ONE thing we’d like you to take away from this article it is to note that bringing your body into a better
pH balance (one that is closer to the 7.365 pH) will help your body fight off disease and other health problems.
Avoid soda at all costs. Avoid food that is highly acidic and eat more neutral or alkaline foods. You can buy test strips that
will reveal just how acidic you body really is.
