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.

Novita NP3360 Hot/Cold Water Purifying Dispenser Review and Promotion!

I bought my Novita NP3360 unit in January 2014 @ a pre-launch sale price of 50% of $799 (U.P $1488). During my housewarming that same month, many people asked how come i manage to get it at such a good deal because the malls are selling it for $1488. I told them i got it at a pre-launch sale and many told me to inform them if i got such 'lobang' again... So here goes...


Firstly i want to share the review about this item. Reason for getting this item, compared to many other water purifier brands...

1) The water is purified through a water system where they are being run through different filters, in this sense known as HydroPure.
There are some brands of purifier that purifies water through electrical methods where i feel that the chemical content of the water molecule (H2O) might be changed.

2) There's a hot and cold water dispenser! It safe my time from having to boil my water or put them into the fridge or having to add in ice!
Many filters out there only purifies the water and it requires you to boil the water again where this dispenser offers both hot and cold water!

3) It was on a pre-launch sale so i bought it. It's this simple.

Anything bad about this purifier after using?
i would say that to some people, 320watts for hot water and 120watts of power consumption is considered high to some people. But there is a switch behind the purifier, to the heater and the cooler. Meaning in the event if you only want hot water and room temperature water, you can switch off the cooler.

warm-up time is about 10-15 mins based on experience. So if you need some hot/cold water and you only want to switch on the purifier when in use, you can on it approximately 15 mins before the time you need.

SO WHAT IS THE DEAL NOW?
50% AGAIN! For 3 days ONLY!

Why are they having a 50% pre-launch sale? isn't this item already in the market?
They have a new system called the HydroPlus!

What's the difference?
 VS

The difference is, HydroPlus offers not only purified water, it offers alkaline water! The magic is in the filter used. Meaning, i bought my NP 3360 with HydroPure system, but when it's time to change my filter, i can simply purchase the HydroPlus filter and change it!

Below are the features and specifications for this machine.

And most importantly the information you have been waiting for!
The promotion flyer is below!

Jurong Bird Park!

Photographer: Me!

Trip to the Jurong Bird Park after so many years! Together with my friend and her family. It's really different when you begin to view everything through the camera. Even though we didn't manage to finish walking through the whole bird park, we had a very fruitful 4hours. Watching the 'Birds and buddies show' and 'Kings of the skies show'. Visiting the Lory loft, where birds are to fly freely around you, open for feeding and photo taking. The Birds of play, where kids can play at the playground and the water area, come ready with their swimsuits or you can just drop by the shop there for one!

Looking forward to my next visit! ;)
