Ionized water is considered a detoxifying agent. Water in general is also known as the universal solvent. As ionized water passes through the channels in your body it picks up the toxins that your body needs to eliminate. The brain uses more oxygen [per unit of weight] than any other body part. Because of this it is subject to “free-radical damage” otherwise known as oxidative stress. In 2011, a study was shown that electrolyzed water decreased oxidative stress on many different kinds of neural cells, including brain cells (BMC, 2011). The conclusion was that ionized water is particularly beneficial in the prevention of neurodegenerative disease. Because the onset of memory loss in old age is, in part, due to the deposition of toxins and too much oxygen, drinking Kangen will prevent it.
Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluids than it takes in. The elderly are at a particular risk of developing this dangerous condition due to a diminished thirst sensation, and the natural changes in water/sodium balance that occurs as the body ages. People with Alzheimer’s disease will often take antipsychotic drugs and cholinesterase inhibitors which can cause the body to lose fluids. Many other medications such as diuretics, antidepressants, oxygen and blood pressure medications also add to the risk of body fluid loss. Fever, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating and high temperatures during the summer months are other common causes of dehydration (Mayo Clinic, 2015). Knowing how much water is crucial. To determine how much you personally need, a rule of thumb is to divide your body weight in half. This number is the minimum amount of ounces you should drink, it never hurts to drink more!
Although all the Enagic devices are excellent, the K8 is across the board the most popular selection. It is arguably the most powerful machine on the market, and boasts 8 platinum-dipped medical grade titanium plates which increase the surface area for electrolysis to be conducted on. This further improves the ionization of your water, and thus, the capacity to remove oxidative stress from your body. In short, the more ionization present, the more antioxidant production potential. Not only is this imperative for preventing dehydration, aging, degenerative disease, and cognitive memory loss, but it also keeps you in short term optimal health. If the K8 is not your top selection, Enagic has other models in a variety of shapes and aesthetics that may be more appealing to your taste. These can be found here.
Despite preventative measures, in the event that you or an older loved one experiences chronic dehydration, you can identify it by the following symptoms: Confusion and/or irritability (in a person with Alzheimer’s disease sudden increase in confusion or change in behavior is almost certain), sunken eyes, continuous fever, delirium, does not urinate in an 8 hour period, and unconsciousness.
However, this can be largely avoided by frequently consuming electrically ionized water at your body’s optimal pH. Flushing out toxins and keeping your body at peak health is great, but what is particularly exciting about this research is that no other therapy has been shown to be effective against oxidative damage to the brain. In other words, alkaline water offers the only hope in the ongoing research battle to understand oxidative damage to the human brain (Magro, 2). Drink up!

By ingesting water full of nitrates, pesticides, and oil run-off you will experience a range of short and long term effects. Some of the more immediate side-effects you will notice will be the effect of microbes. These can make you sick right away — some symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps. The other three types of contaminants usually don’t cause any symptoms right away, but they can build up in your system over time and cause problems like thyroid disease and cancer. The presence of contaminants in water can lead to adverse health effects, including gastrointestinal illness, reproductive problems, and neurological disorders. Infants, young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people whose immune systems are compromised because of AIDS, chemotherapy, or transplant medications, may be especially susceptible from contaminants (Livestrong, 2017).

This is why filtering your water is not only helpful in these situations, but also crucial. Enagic devices are some of the only devices available that can completely transform any type of water, in any condition, into a healing source. Through the titanium plate filters and ionizing chamber, the tainted water that enters is stripped and pH level can be chosen. Kangen water can help you achieve the ultimate hydration. Even if your source of water is lower quality it will become drinkable and become the best water you have have. Installation is as simple as hooking the device to your main water faucet in your kitchen, and the rest of the work is done by the machine. In situations where water is scarce, it can help you make full use of your resources.

It is no surprise that your body responds best to alkaline water. It is in the presence of high acidity that toxins, health ailments, and cell mutations can occur in the body (Mohsin et al, 2013). It is even suggested in this study that acidity “feeds” dormant cancer cells. By drinking water with a pH higher than seven, you are neutralizing the acidic compounds in your gut and bloodstream, thus reducing your risk for disease and potentially growth of free radicals in your system. Alkaline water is both a preventative solution and a treatment option.

These colored samples demonstrate the pH of commonly sold water bottles. As you can see, most of them are at a 5 or below!

Enagic ionizers synthesize all of the characteristics of a living, alkaline, antioxidant, hydrolized, micro-structured water. The Enagic ionizers create seven types of water that you can use for both potable drinking water and functional purposes: super alkaline water (pH 11.5), alkaline water (pH 8.5, 9, and  9.5), neutral water (pH 7), beauty water (pH 4-6), and super acid water (pH 2.5). All these different variations serve multiple purposes and can replace many of the products you are already using in your home, making it an even more valuable asset to than it already is. Three uses I will cover in this blog post include using super alkaline water as a detergent, beauty water for skincare, and super acid water as a natural disinfectant.

Water above a pH of 11 that is created by Kangen makes for an excellent detergent replacement. By soaking your produce in a bowl of this basic water, the outer layer of oil based pesticides, herbicides, and agrichemicals is naturally broken down and cleansed from the skin. This process enhances their freshness and boosts their ability to ward off oxidation. It also increases the freshness and flavor of the fruits and vegetables as it does not interfere with the integrity of the nutrients! For the most effective result it is suggested to leave them soaking for approximately 20-30 minutes in a glass bowl. Below, you can see the difference in the water between Kangen and tap. The right side of the bowl appears dirtier as you can see, as it was able to strip the insecticides/pesticides from the tomatoes better than tap water. During the presentation, we were able to see this experiment be performed, and we were allowed to taste test. The difference in the “crunch” of the tomatoes soaked in Kangen water versus those soaked in regular water was astounding. They tasted as if they were picked from the vine moments earlier as opposed to sitting on the counter for a few days!

As you can see in the image above, the residual water from washing the tomatoes has been split in two. The clearer side is normal water, and the more polluted water is Kangen! High pH’s are a superior and natural cleaning solution.

As a young woman, I found the next usage of Kangen water particularly interesting. “Beauty” water as it is referred to as, is produced at a pH of 6.0 and this is the natural resting pH of our skin. The more we age, the more transepidermal water loss we experience on our skin. Premature aging is the direct result of dehydration! Knowing this, it is imperative that we keep our skin at an optimal pH to prevent signs of aging, sunspots, sagging, and more. The micro-clustered water is most easily absorbed by the skin at this range and therefore tones the skin and keeps it looking plump and moisturized. When prepping your Kangen water for the day, switching it to the beauty setting allows you to prepare a spray bottle with you wherever you go to touch up periodically. The best part is, it is entirely natural without any preservatives and saves you money on purchasing toners from the store.

The last demonstration that I found particularly interesting at the Kangen water information session was the “sanitizing water”. This water is at the far left hand side of the pH spectrum with a range of 2.5-3. This approximately has the same pH as citrus juices such as lemon. This liquid has highly detoxifying properties and can kill 99% of bacteria present on surfaces such as ecoli, samonella, and strep (Cotter and Hill, 2003). As a sufferer of eczema, I must be extremely cautious about using excessively drying products on my skin to avoid outbreaks. This means that traditional hand sanitizer triggers outbreaks due to the high alcohol content. By using acidic Kangen water, you can achieve identical outcome with no harmful side effects — which is unheard of in most of traditional Western healthcare.

Your Enagic machine has the capacity to eliminate your need to purchase skincare products, veggie washes, dish and clothing detergents, hand sanitizers, and antimicrobial cleansers.  It is not a 2 in 1, nor a 3 in 1, but instead a 100 in 1! There are so many unexplored uses for pH water that is only possible through an Enagic certified machine, as it is the highest caliber medical grade ionizer on the market. These experiments have demonstrated the extensive uses for such water, and were tested with pH testing liquid that is available for purchase in many stores. These experiments have also been replicated online many times and can be found to watch for yourself on Youtube!
