Water is essential to human life - we need to drink enough water every day for digestion, brain function, blood pressure, the removal of waste, the production of hormones and neurotransmitters, and much more.
Our blood plasma is 90% water and our bodies are over 55% water.
But water is not just H2O - tap water can contain a range of chemicals and contaminants including chlorine, heavy metals, nitrates and phosphates. And water bottled in single-use plastic can contain microplastics, and contributes to plastic pollution.
All water is not the same.
Kangen water is a type of alkaline water, produced by an Enagic water filter. The way this machine works is by taking your tap water at home and filtering it to remove any harmful chemicals while retaining beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
The water is then split by electrolysis into two streams -
> an alkaline stream of clean, healthy drinking water with high antioxidant content
> an acidic stream with cleaning, first aid, and beauty uses
The benefits of drinking alkaline water come from its antioxidant properties.
Why do we need antioxidants?
Free radicals are unstable molecules that are produced by many normal processes in the body, and also as a result of stress, smoking, alcohol consumption, excessive exercise, and poor diet.
These unstable molecules cause inflammation and damage cells in the body.
Under normal circumstances, our body is able to counteract these negative effects with antioxidants, which are found fairly widely in foods.
However, in times of chronic stress, our production of free radicals outpaces our ability to neutralise them with antioxidants. This is known as oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress may be involved in the development of several diseases in humans, and studies have shown beneficial effects of antioxidants, including molecular hydrogen, on these diseases.
Our body doesn’t store antioxidants efficiently, or in large amounts, so it’s recommended to have some sources of antioxidants every day.
For 50 years, Japanese company Enagic has been the leader in medical-grade water ionisation innovation.
The Enagic machine produces an alkaline stream of hydrogen-rich drinking water with a pH of 8-10. This water is a rich source of antioxidants due to its molecular hydrogen content.
I have experienced first hand the healing benefits of Kangen water, and I want to share it with you.
