We Are What We Drink
Our bodies are made up of 70 trillion cells which are composed primarily of water - from 76-98%, so clearly the water we drink is the water that makes up these cells.  It follows that the quality of the water we drink directly impacts our overall health. 

There have been numerous recent reports on how contaminated our water supplies are.  An Associated Press Investigation found a vast array of pharmaceuticals in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans (USA Today, 3/10/08).  So what should we look for in good drinking water?  And where do we find it?

What To Look For in Good Drinking Water:
1. pH - (percentage of hydrogen)
Almost all water sources in our country have an acidic pH.  Drinking these waters on top of our acidic American diet contributes to acidosis.  Acidosis is known to lead to acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, high cholesterol, cancer, arthritis and many other ailments.  Our body is healthiest with a slightly alkaline pH (opposite of acidic).  The alkaline pH of Kangen water (ranging from 8.5 to 9.5) creates a healthy environment in our body, providing the right atmosphere for healing and maintaining great health.

2. Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP)
ORP measures the ability of a substance to pull contaminants away from healthy cells.  A negative ORP pulls contaminants away, which is also known as antioxidation.  Kangen water has the greatest antioxidation ability (low ORP number) of any known substance.  Its ORP is -387.  The ORP of most other waters range from +250 to +350.  Positive numbers mean there is no antioxidation occurring.  As you can see, Kangen water is in an antioxidation league of its own.

3. Small Water Molecule Clusters
Kangen water is restructured to organize and reduce the water molecules (H2O) into small clusters (like clusters of grapes) of 5-8 molecules per cluster.  Most other water molecules cluster in groups of 16-25.  Small clusters mean that the water can flow in and out of your cell membranes faster and more efficiently.  This allows nutrients to be carried into your cells for maximum absorption and hydration.  Contaminates can then be carried out of your body faster.

Where To Find Good Drinking Water:
Is Bottled Water The Answer?
Many of us think that drinking bottled water is the answer to our fears about our tap water.  Upon further investigation, bottled water is not the answer.  Consider this; Aquafina reportedly uses the Detroit River as one of its main water sources (NDRC, Swimming in Sewage, 02/04).  Other studies have shown that 25% of all bottled water is simply untreated tap water and that 33% of bottled water tested contained such high levels of synthetic organic chemicals, bacteria and arsenic that they violated industry standards (NDRC, Swimming in Sewage, 02/04).  Dasani won the 2007 International Bad Products Award for bottling tap water and promoting it as ‘filtered for purity using state of the art processes’ and ‘enhanced with a special blend of minerals for a pure, crisp, fresh taste’ (Consumers International, 10/30/07).

Then take into account the environmental impact of bottled water.  A 1 liter bottle of FIJI water contaminates 6.74 liters of water through the stretch-blow process used to mold the plastic.  That doesn’t take into account the fossil fuel used to transport any of the bottled waters and the energy used to run the water plants.  To add insult to injury, over 85% of the bottles wind up in landfills where they take up to 1,000 years to degrade.

The Answer: Kangen Water - Change Your Water, Change Your Life
The Kangen water machine transforms tap water into healthy water with a pH of 8.5-9.5, an ORP of -387, and water clusters of 5-8 molecules per cluster.  Each of those factors make it a healthy water unlike what you will find on tap or in a bottle.  The machine we have in our home sits on the kitchen counter and is hooked up to our faucet.  We drink Kangen water every day - all day.  It’s all we drink and cook with.  I encourage you to read more about this amazing water as well as watch a video demonstration that is available at www.AlkalineKangenH2O.com.  If you are unable to watch the video on-line let us know and we’ll send you a DVD that you can watch at home.
