Importance of Water / Kangen water

Because water makes up about 75% of our body.  Water is the basis for all our body fluids, including blood, lymphatic fluids, and digestive fluids. Water is the largest source of energy in the human body. When the water moves into and out of our cells, produces a significant amount of energy. That is why, one of the symptoms of dehydration is very often fatigue. So hydrating properly is essential, because we want to make sure that the water we drink will actually penetrate our cells.

As we know, the nutrients are transported to our cells by our blood. The smallest blood vessels in our body are the capillaries. So, we have to make sure that the molecular size of the water we drink will actually penetrate these capillaries, so the maximum amount of nutrients will reach our cells.
The molecules of Kangen (=return to the origin in Japanese) water, the technical name being Electrolyzed Reduced Water, have a reduced size (they are restructured), they are small enough to penetrate the capillaries, so our cells will absorb over 90%, in comparison to other types of  waters (tap, bottled, reverse osmosis, carbonated beverages, etc) that have a much bigger size, so their hydration level  is less than 20%.
Example: chain-link fence: baseball will not go thru it, bit golf balls or pebbles will…
This is the main reason many people are severely dehydrated, even though they say that they drink other waters.  
As we know “nutrient utilization is more important than just nutrient consumption”, and water being our largest nutrient, it is very important to make sure that the water we consume has the highest absorption rate.

A) One group of the symptoms is connected to digestive disorders: dehydration reduces the secretion of digestive juices, and this can be the root of heartburn, gastritis, and ulcers…

B) High blood pressure is another symptom, because our body’s blood volume is mostly water: dehydration causes the blood to thicken which makes it more difficult to pump by our heart.

C) A frequent symptom is cholesterol, because dehydration causes water loss in our cells. In this case the body produces more cholesterol in an attempt to seal off this cellular water loss.

D) Joint problems are more and more frequent because cartilage is mainly water, and dehydration increases abrasive damage and delays repair.

E) Constipation is a very annoying symptom, because during dehydration the colon removes more water than normal in order to provide fluid for other parts of the body.

Kangen water is a very powerful antioxidant: because of its negative voltage it is capable of reducing free radical damage. It contains active Hydrogen, which is the smallest element in the universe, an electron donor!  As we know, when there is no free radical damage there is no inflammation. When there is no inflammation there is no pain and there are no diseases in the body. As a comparison, a glass of fresh Kangen water has a greater antioxidant capacity than a freshly squeezed orange juice. According to Dr Horst Filtzer (Harvard professor and vascular surgeon): “ A person cannot eat enough fruits and vegetables in a day to come anywhere near the antioxidant power of one glass of Kangen water”… Drinking Kangen water on a regular basis is the easiest way to provide antioxidants to our body.  To compare antioxidants: Hydrogen has a size of 1 and Vitamin C is 180.

It is very important to know that all other waters (tap, bottled, reverse osmosis, carbonated beverages) and drinks (including sodas, sport drinks, smart drinks) have a positive electric charge, so they are oxidizing our body, accelerating the aging process.

The bonus when drinking Kangen water, besides rapid cellular hydration and being antioxidant, is the fact that it is naturally alkaline, so it is very helpful and efficient in the detoxification of our body. The alkalinity is not obtained by adding chemicals to the water, but it is thru the ionization process. The Kangen water has an abundance of those alkaline minerals (Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe) that are vital for the human body, and they are bioavailable. Kangen water being naturally alkaline it is capable of carrying more oxygen to our cells! As we know, lack of oxygen and the resulting metabolic acidosis is a component of just about every disease…Reducing acidity in our body, will also lead to better absorption of minerals and nutrients, so we will have more energy and vitality. Everything in the body works better when the body is alkaline, and unfortunately the foods that we eat today looks much different than it did 100 years ago, so we cannot get the same level of alkalinity from what we eat today. The acidic buildup in our bodies are amplified by stress, ingesting herbicides/pesticides on our produce, refined sugars, carbonation!

So, alkalizing our body is more important than ever!

The minimum we should drink is half of our body weight in ounces. For example, if somebody weighs 170 pounds, that person should consume min 75 ounces, which is about  2.5 liters. If one is involved with physically demanding work, if we exercise strenuously, or one has health issues, a lot more Kangen water must be consumed. If somebody with heath challenges wants to actually feel some change one should drink 1 oz per body weight. All this should be done gradually, starting with the lower pH of 8.5 and working it up to the pH9.5 over a couple of weeks to avoid the detox effect.

The best time to drink ERW is right after we wake up, so we hydrate all our digestive and eliminative organs before having breakfast. For better assimilation of nutrients it is recommended to drink Kangen water 15-20min before a meal and about an hour following a meal.
