8 Reasons to Drink More Water

 #1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

(Likely applies to half the world population)

#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.

#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.

#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain or up to 80% of sufferers.

#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

#8.. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?

Alkaline Annie meets Fat Fred!

I just made an animated commercial for Alkaline Water. It is rather funny. I still need to work out a few kinks but not bad for a first try. What do you think?
Will people want to learn more about ionized alkaline water after seeing something like this?

10 Reasons to Drink More Water

More than two-thirds of your body weight is water. Without adequate water your body’s biochemical and electrical (yes electrical, read on!) processes begin to break down. The list of reasons your body needs water is as plentiful as the functions in your body, so due to space limitations, here are 10 good reasons to drink more water:
1. Your blood is over 80 percent water and needs water to make healthy new blood cells.
2. Your bones are over 50 percent water and, you guessed it, need water to make healthy new bone cells.
3. Drinking more water actually helps lessen pain in your body by getting your lymphatic system moving. The lymphatic system is a network of nodes, tubes, vessels, and fluid that move waste out of your tissues. It requires water to function properly.
4. Water helps to eliminate wastes and toxins from your body through the lymphatic system, kidneys, and intestines.
5. Water lubricates your joints and helps reduce joint pain and protect against wear and tear.

6. Water regulates your metabolism so if you’re overweight chances are you may need more water.
7. Water balances body temperature.
8. Water helps to ensure adequate electrical functioning so your brain and nervous system function properly. Your brain and nervous system send out electrical signals to function properly. Researchers estimate that your brain gives off about the same amount of electricity as a 60 watt light bulb. So, there’s some truth to the image of a light bulb going on when someone has a good idea.
9. Water alleviates dehydration (and I’ve already mentioned that most people are chronically dehydrated).
10. Every cell and organ in your body requires adequate water to function properly.
So, one of the quickest and easiest ways to improve your health is to start drinking more pure water every day. Be sure to drink water an empty stomach or you’ll simply be diluting your digestive enzymes and making your digestion less effective.
And, choose purified water as much as possible (but get yourself a BPA-free water bottle so you won’t pollute the planet with all those plastic water bottles. In wealthy, developed nations with plentiful access to water, we really have no excuses for not drinking enough water.

What Types of Water are There?

What Types of Water are There?

Types of Water

We often call the earth "The Planet of Water".





Roughly 70% of its surface is covered with water. All living things

on the planet rely on water for survival. We need to drink lots of

water, but unfortunately most of the drinking water available to

us is simply not healthy anymore. In some cases, our drinking

water is dangerous to our health.



Tap Water


How do you feel about drinking 8 glasses of tap water each day?

Chlorination makes tap water safe to drink but it can also react

with organic compounds inside your body to produce toxic

substances, especially in your colon. Small amounts of chlorine

are added to our public drinking water supply to kill bacteria and

other microorganisms. This amount of chlorine is small enough

for us to drink but it can still kill bacteria and enzymes in our

body essential to digestion.



During a shower, our bodies absorb roughly 2 glasses of this

chlorinated water through our skin. We also inhale the mist and

steam of this water while we shower. Nearly all tap water supplies

contain large amounts of active oxygen (oxidants) and high

positive ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) values. Having a

high POSITIVE ORP means that tap water can be very oxidizing,

or destructive to your body.




Purified Water Distilled Water and Reverse


Osmosis


Distilled water and water purified by reverse osmosis may not

have most pollutants and additives found in tap water, but it also

lacks any minerals naturally found earth's water that are

essential to our well being. These processes remove

EVERYTHING from the water, including helpful minerals.



Since this water contains no minerals or life whatsoever, it

leaches vital minerals and alkaline buffers from our bodies.

Distilled water and reverse osmosis water have no energy or

vitality at all and can contribute to an acidic state in our bodies.




Bottled Water (Including "Mineral Water")


You might think that bottled water is healthier than tap water. But

in a four-year scientific study, The NRDC (Natural Resources

Defense Council) tested more than 1,000 bottles of 103 brands,

a third of them were found to contain contaminants such as

arsenic and carcinogens.



Recently, another shocking study showed that over time cancer-

causing toxins such as dioxin leach into the water from the

plastic bottle. Actually, a lot of the bottled "spring" waters are just

filtered tap water put in a plastic bottle. These bottles often

remain on store and factory shelves, unopened for months or

even years.



Bottled water is essentially dead water. If you choose your water

based on the package or the brand, you should know that some

95% of the price you are paying for that bottled water is covering

other costs, such as packaging, advertising, distribution costs,

rather than the water itself.



Yet, bottled water is so popular and available almost

everywhere. As a result, the bottled water industry enjoys annual

sales of more than $3.5 billion worldwide. 15 years ago people

wouldn't spend $3-$5 per day on bottled water; these days they

do.




Alkaline Ionized Water


Alkaline ionized water is by far the healthiest water available

today. Decades of scientific and medical research have gone

into its developement. It is produced by an in-home machine that

first filters and then ionizes tap water. This process splits the

water into its alkaline and acidic parts. The alkaline water is used

for drinking. It has tremendous hydrating and antioxidant

qualities, due in part to its smaller water clusters and abundance

of extra electrons created by the ionization process.







Kangen™ Water - The Highest Grade of Alkaline


Ionized Water



Kangen™ water has the strongest antioxidant power of any

alkaline ionized water. The Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP)

of Kangen™ water can reach up to -500mV, where most

average ionized water reaches only around -150mV.



The difference is significant. As a matter of fact, regular Alkaline

Ionized Water units are classified as "home health appliance,"

while Kangen™ Water units are in the "medical device"

classification by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Japan,

which is equivalent to the FDA in the U.S. Currently, out of 44

companies manufacturing ionized water generators, Only 6 of

them make units certified as Kangen™ Water grade.



Enagic ONLY manufactures certified Kangen™ Water units. And

its quality is considered by many as the best of the best in the

industry.



The word "Kangen™" "return to origin" in Japanese. A more

general meanings would be "renewing" or "restoring". Drinking

Kangen™ Water can help "renew" and "restore" a healthy

balance in your life.

Choosing the Best Water Ionizer

Now that I have been promoting Kangen Water for a year, I have learned that most people who love this water wonder if they can find another unit that does the SAME thing yet cost a lot less.

My answer to this is NO.

Yes...there are other water ionizers that create alkaline water.
Yes...there are other water ionizers that are half the price of Kangen units.

The Enagic Unit is the 'Gold-Standard' of water ionizers. Yes...you will have to pay more than with other units, but you are getting TOP quality and workmanship. You are getting a unit designed to last 15 yrs. or more...with the same quality water being made as the first day you got the unit. Other units do not have this workmanship and quality alkaline water will degrade with time. Not so with an Enagic unit...a 35 yr. old company!

If you want to see what to look for in a quality water ionizer then go to this site-- What is a Quality Water Ionizer?

We LOVE Kangen Water and have seen many health benefits...not just in our family, but those we have shared it with.

So, before you complain about the price, understand the real value of HEALTH with a high quality Alkaline, micro-clustered, anti-oxidant water!

Kangen Water

Kangen Water! Alkaline Water! Ionized Water!

What exactly is this NEW water that is so Healthy ? Kangen Water is actually a water system developed and sold in Japan for over 30 years...so it is not new. It is relatively new for the USA though. You can find a Kangen Water system in most hospitals and clinics in Japan as it is labeled as a medical device there.

People drinking this water will notice differences in their health almost immediately. It is a Wetter Water which absorbs into your body more effectively than the water we usually drink. People with diabetes, arthritis, and other ailments will notice dramatic differences as they drink this water.

Shouldn't you learn about Kangen water? There are immitators out there but while they make the water more alkaline...this is not all that a Kangen water system does!

I hope to have more information for you in the near future...along with
testimonials, etc.

Have a healthy day!!!

Amazing Alkaline Water Seminar Coming Soon--

• I have been learning so much about WATER lately. I attended a seminar that taught me exactly what water...and what is in the water...is doing to our bodies.
• I learned that soda & gatorade are two of the worst things to drink.
• I learned how quickly chlorine is absorbed into the body. A 10 min. shower is like drinking 8 glasses of chlorinated water.
• I learned that our food and environment makes our bodies quite acidic...and disease thrives in acid.

That is why we need alkaline water! If you live in the Chicago/Milwaukee area there will be a very informative seminar on the Importance of Alkaline Water. There will be several doctors speaking on this as well. There will be no selling...just an info day.

Where: The Hampton Inn, Gurnee, IL (across from Great America on Grand Ave.)

When: Sat. April 12th at 3:00 pm.

Contact me for more information!

To your health...
