Water And Hydration
States Of Hydration
Hydration status may fluctuate throughout the day, however, our body will regulate itself over a 24 hour period. Optimal hydration is when our water intake matches requirements. However, when our water intake is less than our bodies requirements, we start to become ‘hypo-hydrated’ and this can lead to insufficient hydration, or ‘dehydration.’
We are at the greatest risk of dehydration when we are too hot or too dry, have limited access to water or lose more water than usual. Warm or dry environments, such as centrally-heated homes tend to increase our need for fluid. We can lose more fluid through sweating (due to exercise or hot climates), or by suffering vomiting or diarrhea.
Consequences Of Insufficient Hydration
Mild dehydration may occur when we lose about 1 percent of our body weight due to water restriction. Some common symptoms of mild to moderate dehydration are given below.
- Constipation
- Dark yellow or brown urine
- Dry, sticky mouth
- Few or no tears when crying
- Headache
- Increased thirst
- Muscle tiredness
- Sleepiness or tiredness
- Children may be less active than usual
Research shows that losses of 2% or more can reduce cognitive (mental) performance.
Inadequate water intake can also contribute to chronic kidney diseases.
Science And Research
- Enagic was established in 1974 but clinical studies on the water began in 1931. The scientific name for Kangen Water is “electrolyzed reduced water” (ERW). Kangen Water machines are classified as medical devices in Japan.
- The biggest finding is that this water contains high amounts of antioxidants. Cleaning and detoxing the body daily.
- Numerous studies have been done on whether antioxidants are effective for ‘oxidative stress’ or whether any benefit is merely a placebo effect. Oxidative stress is the mechanism by which human and animal cells get damaged, age, and die.
- Today in Japan, there is extensive data on effectiveness of ERW for treating oxidative stress that causes cells to malfunction, age, and die.
Although the research is early, the 1000+ scientific articles suggest that H2 has therapeutic potential in over 170 different human and animal disease models, and essentially every organ of the human body.
Doctors, Scientists, & Nutritionists Testimonials
Dr. Hiromi Shinya, leading endocrinologist, clinical professor of surgery, head of the endoscopic center at Beth Israel Medical Center, Vice-chairman of the Japanese Medical Association in the United States
“It is widely recognized in the medical profession that a healthy and clean colon is one of the most important precursors to good health and that the great majority of body ailments and diseases originate in an acidic and dirty colon. Water is essential for your health. Drinking “good water;” especially hard water which has much calcium and magnesium keeps your body at an optimal alkaline pH.”
“Kangen Water is alkaline rich water (ph 8-9.5), and is considered the very best drinking water because of its incomparable powers of hydration, detoxification, and anti-oxidation.”
Dr. Horst Filtzer, Vascular Surgeon
“When I first drank Kangen water I experienced something I had never had before, I liked it, I liked it very much. … As I investigated the product, as I investigated the concept of ionized water as Investigated the concept of alkalization of the body cells, I became more and more convinced that this is a product that is of absolute value to all mankind. That it is a product that should be used in all households if at all possible, because it clearly is superior to any form of water than I ever encountered.”
“Personally, I can testify that there is no question that my own life has been markedly enriched by the ingestion of Kangen Water. .. I endorse Kangen Water as a physician, as a surgeon, as a human being, 100%. I feel that it is of great benefit to all mankind. … I can only recommend it in the highest way.”
Dr. Susan Lark, Clinical Nutritionist
“Drinking four to six glasses of alkaline water a day will help to neutralize over acidity and overtime will help to restore your buffering ability. Alkaline water should be used when conditions of over acidity develop, such as cold, flu or bronchitis. Like vitamins C, E and Beta Carotene, alkaline water acts as an antioxidant because of its excess supply of free electrons. This can help the body against the development of heart disease, strokes, immune dysfunctions, and other common ailments.”
“The benefits of the alkaline water created through electrolysis far exceed just its ability to gently raise the pH of the cells and tissues of the body and to neutralize acids. Because the alkaline water has gained a significant number of free electrons through the electrolysis process, it is able to donate these electrons to active oxygen free radicals in the body, thereby becoming a super antioxidant. By donating its excess free electrons, alkaline water is able to block the oxidation of normal tissue by free oxygen radicals.”
Dr. Ray Kurzweil, Award-winning Scientist, Inventor
“There are more benefits to “alkaline water” than simply the alkalinity or pH. The most important feature of alkaline water produced by a water alkalizer is its oxidation reduction potential (ORP).Water with a high negative ORP is of particular value in its ability to neutralize oxygen free radicals. ORP can also be directly tested using an ORP sensor and meter. We have conducted these experiments as well.”
“We found that water coming directly from the tap had an ORP of +290mV, while the water coming out of the water ionizer had a negative ORP. The more negative the ORP of a substance (that is, the higher its negative ORP), the more likely it is to engage in chemical reactions that donate electrons. These electrons are immediately available to engage in reactions that neutralize positively charged free radicals. This is the key benefit of water produced by a water ionizer that is not available by simply drinking water that has had some bicarb or other compounds dissolved in it to make it alkaline.”
Shan Stratton, Sports Nutritional Consultant for the NBA, NFL, MLB, PGA, LPGA, NASCAR, NHL, NY Yankees, AZ Diamondbacks, Houston Rockets, LA Dodgers
“The water we consume today through tap, or bottled water, through purification systems, all of that water is very acidic. I had no idea. If you go back to the basics of nature, and you take water from natural springs coming out of the earth, all of that water has a very high pH or alkalinity to it, and the waters that we drink out of the tap or purification systems, or bottled water is far from alkaline, in fact it is more acidic. I didn’t realize that. Acidic water is actually damaging to the body. Acidic water is something we’d want to stay away from. Anything acidic! I spent fifteen years trying to teach people to reduce the acidity within the body and we can do that through the food that we eat. But, that really takes a complete lifestyle change, when inreality I know realize that we can change very quickly, effectively in the water that we drink.”
“This Kangen Water technology is truly nothing short of miraculous in my opinion, because it really provides three different very important aspects to our health that I find very intriguing. Number one is this machine provides a very high antioxidant based water. The second thing I am really impressed with is its micro-clustering abilities and the third component its natural alkalinity, Kangen Water is up to a 9.5 pH.”
