What is Kangen Water
Kangen water is a medical-grade, in-home, water ionization machine that produces 7 different levels of alkalized, hydrogen-rich water. Produced by Enagic International, a Japan-based company and leading manufacturer of water ionization systems for over 4 decades, Kangen water machines are transforming tap water in homes and businesses across the globe.
Kangen machines produce 5 types of alkalized ionized water. The alkalized drinking water ranges from 8.0-9.5 on the pH scale. pH stands for ‘power of hydrogen’. The higher the pH of water, the greater the power of hydrogen.
Why is this important for our bodies? Well, these hydrogen ions act as antioxidants which protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals by binding with them so that they’re no longer able to scavenge the body in search of other electrons to pair up with. While free radicals are naturally produced in the body, there are many external factors that expedite their production these days such as diet, environmental toxins, drinking, smoking, and chronic stress.
Not only do these free hydrogen ions protect us in this way, they also serve as an alkaline buffer in the bloodstream, neutralizing acid. Again, our bodies are under assault due to many external/lifestyle factors. Diet, stress, and exposure to environmental toxins are some of the factors that lead to an acidic environment in the body. This acidic state is prime for cell mutation, cancer growth, and proliferation of illnesses.
The innovative technology of Enagic’s Leveluk K8 features 8 platinum dipped titanium plates that increase the electrolysis surface area, improving water ionization. This means that there is abundant free hydrogen in the drinking water giving it heightened antioxidant potential and greater ability to buffer the acidic environment in our bodies.
Kangen water is also micro-clustered through the electrolysis process. This results in water molecules that are much smaller than those found in regular tap or bottled water. Because these molecules are smaller, they are able to penetrate cell walls more easily, washing away acidic buildup and hydrating the body more efficiently. This type of hydration enhances energy levels, helps prevent premature aging, and better assists in eliminating toxins from the colon.
As if all of the benefits of just drinking the water alone wasn’t enough, there are many more uses for the variety of water types produced by the Kangen water machine. The highly alkaline 11.5 water is an excellent emulsifier of oil-based pesticides and waxy residue on produce. After a one minute soak and rinse in acidic 2.5 water to kill any unwanted pests and microbes, a quick 5-minute soak in 11.5 will reveal just how much of these unwanted chemicals remain on our food when washed in regular tap water.
