Kangen (Alkaline) Water Review

To begin, i must say that to be giving a fair review, i do have a Kangen water machine at home. I think many people want to know whether this Kangen water really works? Scientifically proven? There have been many testimonies about how this water has helped cure cancer and etc. I do not doubt that these testimonies can be real. But let's look at how this machine works, the pros and its cons.

Looking at the diagram of how Kangen water is produced, my question is... What is a water molecule? H2O?

In the purest form, we all know that water = H2O.

In the past, alkaline water is obtain from springs or running the water through filters containing different kinds of mineral stones to gain it's hydrogen content, that is good for our health. (Refer to my post on Novita HydroPlus for a machine that works the conventional way)

What are the benefits of Hydrogen Rich water? Reports have shown that the alkaline and anti-oxidant helps to reduce reactive oxygen metabolites in the blood and helps to reduce inflammation.

Now, this brings me back to Kangen water. Looking at the diagram above, did you discover what is different from the conventional water of obtaining alkaline water? Yes, they slice the molecules apart forming H+ and HO-. HO- is then discharged as acidic. During the demonstration, they will clearly show you that this Kangen water has small molecules than water and can penetrate your body faster and easier due to the smaller molecule. But like what i emphasised at the beginning, water = H2O. If you are only drinking H+ everyday, over a long period of time your body will eventually experience dehydration because you have not been drinking 'water'!

Kangen water is hydrogen rich and yes it can help with reducing inflammation etc, but it DOES NOT cure cancer. There are some scientific studies that really argue against alkalinity, at least with respect to preventing or treating cancer. Consider the research by Robert Gilles, who has studied tumor formation and acidity.According to Gilles, tumors, by their very nature, make themselves acidic - even in an alkaline cellular structure. In other words, they make their own acidity. Scientists who are in the process of developing prototypes for potential new anticancer agents that selectively kill tutor cells by interfering with the regulation of intracellular pH, have found that alkaline treatments do NOT have the desired effect - but strongly acidic treatments do.

Is it good for our stomach to be taking in too much alkaline water? Our stomach is the most acidic place in our digestive system. It is believed that the acid are important for the destroying of bacteria and free radicals found on our food and to break down protein for our body to adsorb.  What happens when our stomach become too alkaline base? Bacteria and free radicals cannot be fully destroyed. Over all period, our body will start to lack protein, despite of the amount of meat, eggs or high protein food you take in because the stomach acid enzymes needed to breakdown those protein are now diluted and made alkaline. On another hand, our body will also fight the alkaline by producing even more acid, depending on individual body, this might lead too stomach acidity too high causing burnin stomach wall, heart burn and other issues.

For those who have the Kangen water machine, whats next? BALANCE is the key of life!

My advise is to take in moderation for those who already have the machine. DO NOT stop drinking H2O. This H+ SHOULD NOT replace your intake of H2O.

To end off,  here are the different types of water and some basic definitions to keep in mind: 

• Purified water: Water that is physically processed to remove impurities (e.g., distillation, deionization, reverse osmosis, carbon filtration, etc.) 

• Distilled water: Water that is boiled and evaporated away from its dissolved minerals, and then the vapor is condensed. 

• Bottled Water. This water is typically from a spring or has gone through reverse osmosis before it is bottled. However, some brands are simply bottled tap water that may or may not have gone through any additional filtering. 

• Alkaline water: Water that has been separated into alkaline and acid fractions using electrolysis, which takes advantage of the naturally occurring electric charges found in the magnesium and calcium ions; in the drinking water industry. 

• Deionized or demineralized water: Water in which the mineral ions (salts such as sodium, calcium, iron, copper, chloride and bromide) have been removed by exposing it to electrically charged resins that attract and bind to the salts. 

• Hard and soft water: Hard water is any water containing an appreciable quantity of dissolved minerals; soft water is treated water in which the only cation (positively charged ion) is sodium.

Once again! Thanks for reading, hope the information finds you well and is helpful.

The truth behind the LIFE we all desire to have

It's been a long while since i posted, as many things happened at home... And it just sets me thinking about LIFE, my life...

The different kinds of people in the corporate world are:

#1 Sole bread winners: Some people who hard all their lives to put food on the table, to make ends meet. They cannot stop because everything is depended on the works of their hands. They are very hardworking people who through honest means do what they could and appreciates the stability of there jobs.

#2 Ladder climber: They climb from ladder to ladder, trying to achieve more in life. They are driven to promotions and outdoing others. Some by righteous means, others by stepping on others to reach another step higher.

#3 Bridge builder: You might have heard this before, 'it's not what you know but who you know'. to a certain extend it is true, but some people make use of the relationships they built to their advantages and benefits. They build relationship with a purpose in mind.

#4 Fu er dai: This is a commonly used terms for people who are born with silver spoon. Some are born in gold spoons. They do not need to do much and have everything they want. What they have is more than what they can spend.

#5 Dreamers: Everyone dreams to do something they like and they want in life. Dreaming of the better life and the possibilities into the future. They may come out with many great items but never step out of where they are.

#6 Dream chasers: People who dream and give up all that they had, the comfort and security to chase those dreams. Do they get the kind of life they dream of?

It's easy for people who sits behind a desk and get money coming into their account every month, with or without a lot of work to do, to complain about work; pay too little and what is required of them... Isn't that why they are receiving a pay cheque in the first place?

Many people say that they envy me, that now that i am a boss, i get to go around doing whatever i want. Not having to work as and when i want. No stress and no worries. No need to see the face of a boss, and how they desire the kind of life i have...

Speaking from experience, starting a shop had been the hardest thing in my life by far. The amount of money, effort and hard work i put into this is far greater than you can think or imagine. The amount of stress i go through and how i have not drawn a salary but have to worry about the salary of my staff. The sweat and the tears involved. If today you want to be a dream chaser, I would encourage you to step out and live your dreams! But first, count the cost. Know how much are you willing to put into making this dream a reality and how far are you willing to go... how long are you willing to go without getting paid till everything stabilises.

Because, only when your dream can last the distance, you can reach #7.

#7 Bai shou qi jia: These are the minority of people who started out without anything. They are not people who are born with silver or gold spoon. They may even be from a humble family background (like me), who live out their dreams. What brought them there was not good luck, but perseverance and hard work. Fighting through the good times and the bad. Not giving up on what they have set their hearts to do.

Some day, we may wake up comparing the advantages and disadvantages of being born with silver spoon and feel that life is unfair. But at the end of the day, what really matters is not where we started from, but where we are heading to and how we are getting there.

I forgot when was the last time i shop and bought something i like for myself, because of the amount of things that i need to be concern about. And i guess, i am last on my own list. I'm praying that i can persevere though and that God will provide me with the strength, ability, productivity and provision to hang on till the promises come to pass!
