Ion Water Kangen Style And Pure Water

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

A toxin can be defined as any substance that doesn’t fit in in the body. It so happens that most toxins have a positive charge. Remember that a negative charge is good, and a positive charge is bad. The negative ions in alkaline ionized water attach themselves to toxins and assist begin the process to get rid of the toxins from the body.
Kanen Water is repeatedly called micro cluster water. Micro cluster is a reference to the idea that when water is ionized, the amount of water molecules that group together is reduced. Usually, water molecules group in number of 10, while ionized water groups water molecules in an order 6. This cutback in size of the cluster is able to break through body tissues more easily.
Two properties of Kangen Water comprise the antioxidant benefits. This water has a negative charge, and has hydroxyl ions. This negative charge is connected this oxidation-cutback potential or “ORP”. A negative ORP as found in alkaline ionized water can reduce oxidation. Typical tap water is regularly not alkaline and is certainly not ionized. Tap water is found to have oxidative properties with a positive ORP. And any material you eat with a positive ORP will be a factor to an over acid state in your body.
Note that all fresh fruits and vegetables have a negative ORP and thus are antioxidants. In all cases, when we consume antioxidant substances with a negative ORP, we are aiding the reduction of the oxidative aging process.
The negatively charged hydroxyl ions are essentially a molecule with one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom (HO-). These ions, with the negative charge carry with them an extra electron, which can be given to free radicals. This cancels the oxidative properties of the free radicals.
Why is this imperative? Disease thrives in an acidic environment. An acid environment in the body is what you want to work against by a change in your diet. An uncomplicated change is in the type of water you drink. The biggest secret when it comes to maintaining and/or achieving health is to drink alkaline ionized water.
Ionized water is found in mountain streams. Water running through rocks will have an ionizing effect with the formation of hydroxyl ions. There is much discussion within this topic about whether you should drink whatever water you can get (because you body can take it), or understand that your body is a delicate chemistry project, and choose to select cautiously what you drink. I’ve chosen the latter; as I want to do everything I can to preserve my health. When you hear about new stories about people dying of cancer.
The most excellent Kangen Water machine that I know of is the Leveluk SD501 by the Enagic Corporation. This top of the line water ionizer is the flagship for Enagic. And I have owned one for several months now. What is my personal experience, so far? People notice I’m thinner, I feel healthyer, and I’m looking great.

Healthy Ways To Fight The Common Cold

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Winter brings more than just snow; it brings an outbreak of colds. Going to the local drug store and loading up on Nyquil and Sudafed is one way to fight a cold, but there are more natural ways too. One alternative medicine is chicken soup. There have never been any tests to confirm this, but it seems like chicken soup or broth helps you feel better and recover quickly. Also, it is important to drink lots and lots of water. You cannot drown a virus, but the water will help your immune system and help your sore throat.

Echinacea or Purple Cornflower is an herb that is rumored to help fight the cold as well. Some studies have confirmed that this helps cut the time you have your cold, and prevent you from getting other colds. You should take Echinacea immediately if you think you may be coming down with a cold. Vitamin C also will help reduce your cold’s severity, and help your immune system recover quickly. Tea is another great device for fighting a cold.
