Is the water you’re drinking actually hurting you?Did you know that most of the water you drink every day may actually be damaging your health. And it’s not just plain water, how about juice, tea, coffee, soda? You see, nearly everything we drink has water as its’ foundation. And, this also includes you! Your body is over 70% water. So doesn’t it make sense, that you drink water and use water based products that help improve your health instead of harm it? Of course it does.
Here’s the situation. Most water and water-based products we drink and use have two very common problems. First, the water has been damaged. Before it gets to you, it has
travelled through pipes, filtration devices, and various systems. During these travels, it has been stripped of electrons (-). The result is water that is positive (+) ionized. Second, the water is very acidic.
Positive (+) Ionized Water is BAD!
When water molecules are missing an electron (now positive ionized), the molecules, which are two hydrogen and one oxygen - H2O, start to share the missing electron. They borrow an electron from each other, causing the water molecules to clump. This creates a problem because now your cells have difficulty absorbing such a large clumped molecule. Simple put, the cell membrane won’t let this big clumped positive ionized (+) molecule into the cell. So even though you are drinking a lot of water, you probably are not hydrating very well on a cellular level. But this isn’t the worse part.
The next thing that happens is that the positively (+) charged molecules want to steal electrons (-) from other molecules in our bodies. This is what causes free radical damage. A free radical is a positive ionized particle (+) that robs electrons (-) from our cells. They literally zap or pull away life force from the cell. Then once damaged, the cells start to allow unwanted toxic material and crud to attach itself inside our bodies.
When the life force keeps being robbed, toxins start accumulating at various areas throughout the body. This results in premature aging and an environment that allows disease to take hold. That is why there is such a buzz in the media and nutritional communities about anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants provide the extra electrons (-) to stop the zapping of life force and stealing of electrons from our healthy cells.
Acidic Water is Bad / Alkaline Water is Great!The second major problem with most of the water that we drink is that it is very acidic. More acid in our bodies is not good. In fact, many nutritionists believe that most diseases flourish and grow rapidly in an acidic environment. And guess what? Nearly all processed, sugary, fried and preservative-ridden foods are very acidic. As opposed to these “processed” foods, most fresh vegetables are alkaline. Well, what do you think our diets consisted of 100 years ago? That’s right, fresh vegetables which are more alkaline. The same nutritionists also believe that most disease will not grow in an alkaline environment
Most if Not ALL Bottled Waters are ACIDIC
E2 – Electron Energized technology provides a solution to both of these major problems. First, the E2 technology adds hundreds of millions of free electrons to the water through a proprietary technology that is both stable and natural. This changes the water from positive (+) ionized (which is bad) to negative (-) ionized (which is good). The transformation is measured in millivolts (mV) by an ORP meter. ORP stands for Oxidation Reduction Potential. Now that the water is negatively (-) ionized, it unclumps and actually becomes an anti-oxidant water that actively looks for and neutralizes free radicals! Additionally, your cells will eagerly accept the negatively (-) ionized unclumped molecules on a cellular level and provide your body maximum hydration.
We must caution you, your cells may have been literally starving for hydration for a long time (even though you drink a lot of water). With the E-2 Water water, the cells hydrate quickly and start to throw out all the accumulated toxins and other crud that they have been storing for a long time. This can result in flu-like symptoms. So take it slow at first. However, once you get through this initial period, you will have never felt better.
What is Oxidation Reduction Potential?
Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) is a measurement (in mV) of the tendency or the strength that indicates whether a solution is oxidizing or reducing (= deoxidizing).
Any positive number indicates that the solution is oxidizing; the higher, the more oxidizing. The same theory applies on the negative side, just in the opposite direction; the lower, the more deoxidizing. And of course, any negative number indicates a reducing or deoxidizing tendency.
What does oxidation or reduction mean to our health? The consumption of oxidized foods and beverages tend to affect
unfavourably the chemical characteristics of the body fluids. Many foods and beverages are highly oxidized and devoid of electrons.
Likewise, the addition to one’s diet of negative hydrogen ions, which are found to be especially high in organically grown vegetables, tends to affect the body fluids in a favorable manner.
Naturally, the ORP value varies quite widely between the foods and beverages. Considering you want to avoid oxidizing your body internally as much as possible, it is important to make a constant effort to eat and drink of which ORP value is on the negative side. However, unfortunately, the majority of what we eat and drink have positive ORP values, often quite high.
Many of you might be disappointed to know that some of the worst (the most oxidizing) examples include alcohol beverages, soda, meat, which ironically represent the most popular.
On the other hand, fortunately, there are certain group of foods that have negative ORP values, thus deoxidizing. Japanese Matsutake mushroom is known to have an ORP of around -400mV while miso (fermented soy beans) products usually show it at around -100mv to -150mV.
Also, some interesting comparison can be made on the freshness of the food at different stages of the product cycle.
For example, a freshly squeezed orange juice shows an ORP of usually around -100mV while most of the packaged orange juice show as high as +200mV.
What is the typical ORP value of Kangen water then?
As "Kangen" means "reduce" or "deoxidize" in Japanese, this water is known for its impossibly low negative ORP values.
While the actual ORP varies depending on the source water, it is generally anywhere between -250mV and -500mV. Anything below -550mV is classified as Strong Kangen Water and is considered too strong for human body to take internally, and therefore not recommended for drinking.
