The Benefits of Kangen Water (pH 8.5 - pH9.5)

Below are listed the many ways Kangen Water can be used on a daily basis:

1) Use as drinking water — drink 2-3 cups of Kangen Water first thing in the morning. Compared to tap water, Kangen Water has no unpleasant odor, tastes lighter, and has a pleasantly sweet taste.

2) To prevent hangovers, drink before going to bed — drink 2-3 cups to reduce the symptoms of hangovers.

3) For drinking during mealtimes — it is important to include vegetables in your diet, when eating substantial amounts of acidic foods such as egg yolk, white rice, chicken, pork and beef.  Drinking alkaline Kangen Water is equally important because it balances the acidic and alkaline effects of these foods.

4) Use when brewing green tea, coffee, and English tea, to obtain wonderfully mild flavor and improved color.

            – Green tea: Prevents tannin in the tea, and brews the tea with a rich color. Eliminates the bitter aftertaste common in teas. The teas are delicious even when served cold.

            – Coffee: Improves aroma and color, while preserving the naturally acidic taste of coffee.  You can obtain a full, rich taste, even when using only half the usual amount of coffee beans.

            – English tea: For mild taste and rich color.

5) Add Kangen Water to whiskey, for a smoother, milder flavor.  Make ice cubes with Kangen Water, as well. Whiskey is a strong acidic liquor, but diluting it with alkaline Kangen Water, (with its alkaline properties), will help prevent hangovers.

6) Use heated Kangen Water when diluting beer, sake and other spirits — Depending on the amount of beer, add about 5-20% Kangen Water.  The beer will seem milder, but not lose it taste.

7) When preparing soups, Kangen Water draws out the flavor of the soup stock, even when very little seasoning is used.  Prepare a delicious soup with Kangen Water.  Its dissolving property draws out the natural flavor of the ingredients.

8) Add to seasonings and condiments — maintain the delicate flavor of soy sauce and other highly seasoned sauces by removing one-third to our-fourth of the usual amount by diluting with Kangen Water.

9) Pre-boil vegetables to enhance the flavor of the dish — use to enhance the flavor of burdock, onions, bamboo shoots, etc., by pre-boiling.

10) Blanch green vegetables — Blanching spinach, string beans, broccoli and other green vegetables in Kangen water will preserve the vibrant green color of these vegetable.

11) Leave liver and other meats to soak in Kangen Water — if you leave liver, mutton, and other meats which have a bad odor to soak 20-30 minutes, it will drain off blood and reduce strong smells.

12) Boiled foods — the natural flavor of the ingredients will be drawn out and they will cook to tender consistency.  Make sure to reduce the amount of seasoning, as less seasoning is required when using Kangen Water.

13) Heat conduction — Kangen Water improves the conduction of heat, cutting down on cooking time, and lowering your utility bills.  Take care not to overcook as your dish will be done more quickly than usual.

14) Use to water both plants and flowers (Extends the freshness and life of the plants, also restores the health of sick plants.  Use pH 9.0) — Take note that certain varieties of flowering plants, trees and shrubs, such as roses and blueberries, favor and acidic environment.  For such plants, spray the stem, or water the plant with a solution which has been diluted by 300%.

15) Watering to germinate seeds — Kangen Water stimulates germination and improves seedling development.

16) As drinking water for animals and pets — Your animals' health will improve dramatically.  Unpleasant body odor will decrease, as well as the odor of feces and urine.

17) For dyeing — excellent for dyeing clothing, as well as other craft projects.  You will love the vibrant colors obtained when using this water.

18) To maintain good health — through continuous use, the acidic tendency of your body can be gradually corrected to an alkaline constitution.  Improvement of health: drink at least 2 liters a day in order to gradually change an acidic constitution to a slightly alkaline constitution.

            Calcium: Continued use will replenish your calcium levels.  Helps to reduce irritability, and improves the general health of children.

            Colon cleansing: Warm the water to body temperature and use colon cleansing unit to remove accumulated debris and waste.

Other uses: Slows down aging, stabilizes body temperature — One theory is that this water reduces free radicals.  Recently, this water has been acclaimed as "Free Radical Water."

Acid Alkaline History

27 11 2006

Acid Alkaline History The concept of acid/alkaline imbalance as the cause of disease isn't a new one. One of the first people who talked about the need to alkalize the body was the great "Sleeping Prophet," Edgar Cayce. He always referred to body detoxification with herbs, colonics, fasting, massage, steam baths and diet modification with the aim of alkalizing the body. Way back in 1933, Dr. William Howard Hay published a ground-breaking book called A New Health Era in which he maintained that all disease is caused by ‘auto-toxication’ (or "self poisoning") due to acid accumulation in the body: “We depart from health in just the proportion to which we have allowed our alkalis to be dissipated by the introduction of acid forming food in too great amount. It may seem strange to say that all disease is the same thing, no matter what its myriad modes of expression, but it is verily so.” Dr. Robert O. Young, Ph.D. in his book, ‘The pH Miracle’ says it this way; “Those willing to look again, and with clear eyes, will be rewarded with the secrets to permanent health. We can heal our-selves by changing the environment inside our bodies. Potentially harmful invaders, then, will have nowhere to grow and will become harmless.” Unfortunately, according to Sang Whang, author of ‘Reverse Ageing’, even if we eat the best of organic fruit and vegetables, 97% of our food still consists of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen, which will still be reduced to acid waste. He says that it is not what we put into our bodies…it's what stays in our bodies as waste that creates our over-acidic condition and causes us to age prematurely. Dr. Young says that in terms of acid/alkaline balance, the only difference between 'good' food and 'bad food' is that 'good' food will have less acid waste and more acid neutralizing result. “Your pH balance depends on what is left after metabolism.” So we'll take a look in this report at what foods, lifestyles and just which supplements contribute to a 'clean house' within; where our metabolism can operate as it is supposed to instead of acting as a continual janitor in an increasingly overloaded toxic warehouse.

Leftover Acid Waste Very few if any of us are physically capable of ridding our bodies of all the acids we create from food, stress and our own metabolism. These acid wastes move around the body via the blood and lymphatic system until our overloaded kidneys decide to dump them or, as we have mentioned, they can be stored in fat. Cholesterol and crystallized uric acid are solidified acids that have been dumped within the body for 'later' removal- the 'later' that never comes.

Acid Effects Acid coagulates blood. Blood has major problems flowing around fatty acids. Capillaries clog up and die. The skin, deprived of life-giving healthy blood, loses elasticity and begins to wrinkle. Even with a face-lift or liposuction, the acid remains and continues its relentless advance. Without a basic acid/alkaline balancing plan, every part of your body works ever harder to maintain health - because every system; all the organs, the lungs, even the skin – are involved in the maintenance of correct blood pH.

The pH Equation & Health

20 11 2006

THE pH EQUATION & HEALTH According to many health researchers, total healing of chronic illness takes place only when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. In case you missed it, let me say it again… Total healing of chronic illness takes place only when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. The magnitude of meaning behind this research is of incredible importance to someone who is fighting a disease, overcoming an illness, or just desiring to feel better. What it means is this…

Importance of Hydration in Children

18 11 2006

Children are more vulnerable to the effects of dehydration than adults. Although children's hydration needs are not much different than adults, they have a lower capacity for sweating. As a result, they overheat faster than adults. Because kids' bodies don't cool down as efficiently as adults', parents and caregivers need to encourage active children to drink often and be able to recognize the signs of dehydration. Infants and toddlers who may not be able to communicate their need to drink are also at risk during hot weather. Dehydration in Children Because severe dehydration can be life threatening, knowing the signs of dehydration in children and acting quickly to help them cool down and rehydrate is very important. Symptoms of dehydration in infants and young children: No tears Dry skin, mouth and tongue Sunken eyes Grayish skin Sunken soft spot on infant's head Decreased urination

Secondary Standards

18 11 2006

Secondary Drinking Water Regulations:
Guidance for Nuisance Chemicals

EPA 810/K-92-001
July 1992

What are Secondary Standards?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established National Primary Drinking Water Regulations that set mandatory water quality standards for drinking water contaminants. These are enforceable standards called "maximum contaminant levels" or "MCLs", which are established to protect the public against consumption of drinking water contaminants that present a risk to human health. An MCL is the maximum allowable amount of a contaminant in drinking water which is delivered to the consumer .

In addition, EPA has established National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations that set non-mandatory water quality standards for 15 contaminants. EPA does not enforce these "secondary maximum contaminant levels" or "SMCLs." They are established only as guidelines to assist public water systems in managing their drinking water for aesthetic considerations, such as taste, color and odor. These contaminants are not considered to present a risk to human health at the SMCL.
