What is all the buzz around "Going Alkaline"?

A lot of researches were done on the effects of acidity on our body - a large share of our ailments are stemming from that, according to leading medical reviews.

Some of the ailments of acidity in the body are:

	High Cholesterol Heart Attacks Cancer Diabetes Low Energy Skin Problems Arthritis	Migranes Fibromyalgia High Blood Presure Prostate Problems Sleeping Disorders Obesity/ Weight Gain Calcium Deficiency / Weak Bones

What's the problem with acidity?

The body is an intricate, but delicate mechanism. It can operate in a limited range of pH - between 7.36-7.45, being slightly alkaline. Any diversion from that, up or down, is critical to the body. For example, if the body's pH drops below 7.0 you will get a cardiac arrest and die.

Excess acidity is a condition that weakens all body systems. Excess acidity forces the body to borrow minerals – including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium – from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely removes it from the body. When we get too acidic, either from acidic food, stress and anxiety and regular action of metabolism, the body tries to buffer it (balance it). This mechanism is called homeostasis.

However, trying to solve that creates our deadly diseases…

Robbing our resources

It is no secret that our diet is very acidic – meat, dairy, oil, fish, wheat are all acidic. In order to have a healthy body, health practitioners recommend that we keep a balanced diet of 80% alkaline and 20% acid. This is hard to keep in our times. And when excess acids must be continually neutralized, our alkaline reserves are depleted, leaving the body in a weakened, disease-prone condition.

Creating acid deposits – Choosing the lesser evil.

The body had to choose between the kidneys and liver and processing the acid waste, and it chose to preserve the vital organs.

The cost: obesity, lowered immunity, lack of energy and the whole host of acid related diseases we are subject to including cancer, diabetes, osteoarthritis and more - much more.

Where do we get the acid?

Acid comes from three sources:

1. Food – for example, the pH of meat is 3.5 and diet coke and other sodas have a pH of 2.5 – that’s 50,000 time more acidic than neutral water (the pH scale is logarithmic and any unit is 10 stronger than
2. Pollution
3. Stress.

Unfortunately we have too much of all three factors and they produce acid waste that the body can’t handle, so it uses its alkaline reserves.

We may deduce that if King David was living in our times, Michelangelo would have needed extra marble…

A healthy balanced body has alkaline reserves to battle diseases, infections, and viruses. But if excessive acid must be continuously neutralized or stored, our alkaline reserves will be depleted, leaving our bodies weakened and disease prone.

What Can I Do to Get Rid Of the Acid Wastes?

The best way we have found to do this is to drink Kangen Water™. This water, having a pH of between 8.5 and 9.5, will first neutralize harmful stored acid wastes, and if you consume it every day, will gently remove them from your body. Yet, since the water is ionized, it will not leach out valuable alkaline minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, or sodium.

Watch this short video to see the qualities of the water:

The 3 qualities of Kangen water

The Kangen water machine converts your tap water into healthy water having the following traits:

1. Alkaline pH of 8.5-9.5 - this is 50 - 500 times more alkaline than neutral pH (7.0)
2. Micro-cluster - the ionizing process breaks down the water clusters that are usually 11-14 molecules to smaller clusters of 3-6 molecules. That allows the water to really assimilate in the body on the cellular level. Most people are dehydrated and that causes myriad of problems and ailments. In addition to that, dehydration on the cellular level causes the cells to be less toned and die quicker and thus the phenomenon of aging is speeded up.
3. Anti-Oxidant – the water is charged with negative ions and thus are have a strong anti-oxidation quality. It balances out the free radicals in the body and therefore it is anti-aging. This is the most important feature of the water.

What are “Free Radicals”?

In simple words, the free radicals are oxygen molecules that are missing an electron and thus are imbalanced. They attract an electron from another molecule and rendering it imbalanced. This is a chain reaction that is known as oxidation. This is rust in metal and an apple turning brown after being cut and left open. It also reacts within your body resulting in the development of a variety of pathologic states such as diabetes, cancer and aging.

One free radical can initiate tens of thousands of chain reactions that cause tremendous harm (destroy cell membranes, disrupt crucial processes in the body, reprogram DNA, form mutant cells, and more). Free radicals are a major contributing factor to nearly all situations of non-ideal health.

In other words, if we can succeed in preventing oxidative damage by active oxygen species, we can control the disorder! We can prevent many diseases and stay healthy! We can live longer!

Kangen water is rich with negative charged ions that supply the missing electrons of the free radicals and balances them, stopping that chain reaction.
