Advantages of Drinking Alkaline WaterAlkaline Water is created when water is ionized. This process is called electrolysis. This process is caused when an electric charge is used to change the molecular structure of calcium and magnesium ions in normal drinking water. Calcium and magnesium ions are always present in normal drinking water and it is only by distilling water (boiling or letting the water set for 24 hours) or by reverse osmosis is done that the water’s molecular structure is changed. Water ionization creates Alkaline water. Alkaline water has many benefits because the properties of our drinking water can determine the quality of our health. First, we should ask ourselves why we have to drink water in the first place. From the earliest science class we learned that we need water to restore our body’s fluids; and our body is 70 – 80% of water. It also helps the digestive system and removes toxins from our bodies. Kangen Water (which means to return to the origin) is created by a company called Enagic and they use a special water progressive water technology. This process of ionization produces Kangen water and acidic water. These types of waters can be used for not only drinking, but for cooking, cleaning, and even for beauty aids (bathing, facial cleansing), and it adds your overall health. Since the 1950s, research in Japan has documented proof that Alkaline (Kangen) water, helps to improve arthritis, high blood pressure. It is also good for heartburn, chronic fatigue, poor circulation, indigestion, nausea, leg cramps, migraines, and obesity, as well as osteoporosis and Psoriasis; it also helps in relieving stress. Spring water loses its natural vitality by the time it is filtered, and bottled water loses even more of its vitality because of the loss of the mineral content, and distilled and osmotic water is purified to the point of losing all the oxygen and electrons that water should have. By using Enagic water enhancers and filters, you can bring back the Kangen water to help bring your body fluids to a much healthier level. This oxidized water makes it great for a sterilizing agent and can be used for killing germs when you wash your hands, and cleaning kitchen utensils; you can even use it for treating minor wounds. Drinking Alkaline water donates the electrons to oxygen radicals and helps to block the interaction of the active oxygen with the water's normal molecules. So the active oxygen is reduced without damaging the surrounding biological molecules. Once you start drinking this type of water the effects take place immediately. Just as water is important for our bodies so is the presence of oxygen in our bodies. 2% of the oxygen that we breathe becomes active oxygen. Anything which has the ability to counteract the active oxygen is called a scavenger, and Alkaline (reduce water) can be used to help regenerate healthy cells. This will help prevent disease. So it is a good idea to use Alkaline water for producing a much healthier body, which could add years to your life. Its advantages greatly outweigh the use the normal drinking water that is on the store shelves in our communities. |
