Consider these interesting facts about water:

• Two-thirds of Americans do not drink the recommended 8-10 glasses of water daily.
• Continual loss of water from the body can slow down the metabolic rate by as much as 3%.
• Over one-third of North Americans have suppressed their thirst mechanism to the point where it is often misinterpreted as hunger.
• The number one reason for daytime sleepiness and low energy is water loss.
• By the time a person feels thirsty, his or her body has lost 1-3% of its total water amount, which can affect memory and the ability to concentrate.
• Water naturally moisturizes skin from the inside out, giving you a fresh looking complexion and a beautiful glow.
• Water naturally carries more substances than any other liquid found on Earth, including vitamins, minerals and nutrients.

Listed below are various ways to keep your brain active. The key is to keep your mind guessing. When your mind gets bored, it shuts down. Try a few of the techniques below and remember to change up your routine!

• Write your to-do list at the beginning of the week or day as you normally would, then hide the list! Internalize your list and carry out your tasks by memory. It may be difficult at first but over time you will realize just how powerful your brain is.
• Learn a new skill or craft. Learning a new skill opens new pathways in your brain, helps you make new connections, and even gives you the opportunity to make new friends along the way.
• Read, read, read. Read blogs, books, and articles. Reading will challenge your mind and broaden your horizon. Read information on topics you’ve never discovered, and soak up new information.
• Play a game. Sit down with your friends or family and learn a new game together. Your brain thrives in social situations and learning something new.

The brain is 70% water. It is extremely important to stay well hydrated with pure, healthy water.

Most parts of your brain draw energy from water in your body. There are small pathways which run the length of your nerves and carry cells throughout your brain. Even minor dehydration can cause nerve transmission and brain functions to be compromised. Mild dehydration can also adversely affect your coordination and concentration. The most important element of keeping a healthy mind as you age is receiving sufficient amounts of clean, healthy water.

The next time you reach for a nice glass of water, make it Kangen Water®. Help your community prevent waste by saying “no more” to bottled water. Overpriced, lacking beneficial nutrients and a major contributor to our waste problems, bottled water has little redeeming value. Tap water isn’t much better. A recent study showed more than 140 unregulated chemicals present in municipal water in 42 of our States. The majority of municipal water contains chlorine, lead and even pesticides from runoff.

When your body is busy dealing with stress, there is little energy remaining to fight off illness or disease, leaving you more susceptible. Chronic stress can lead to and exacerbate many health problems.

One of the best ways to prevent chronic stress is by maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. It is unrealistic to expect optimal performance from your brain when it is deprived of critical nutrients. Your performance, thoughts, feelings, and behavior are all affected by the health of your brain.

Begin by increasing the following foods into your current diet:

Sweet Potatoes

A great way to satisfy your desire for carbohydrates and sweets, sweet potatoes are packed with beta-carotene, vitamins and fiber.

Dark Green Vegetables

Broccoli, kale and other dark green vegetables contain potassium. Potassium is good for calming your nerves by regulating blood pressure and heart function.

Chicken and Turkey

Chicken and turkey are high in an amino acid called L-Tryptophan, which has been proven to have a calming effect.

Blueberries

They contain an abundance of Vitamin C, which has been shown to aid the body in dealing with high levels of stress. Also, the fiber in blueberries helps your body regulate blood sugar levels. This is important because high blood sugar can put stress on the body.

Water

This is possibly the most important element of your diet. Even a mild case of dehydration can put high levels of stress on your entire body. Being well hydrated with good, clean water can help.

 Eating healthy food and staying well hydrated will moderate your stress index, leaving your body the energy and reserves it needs to stay healthy and ward off illness.

The best choice in staying hydrated is pure, healthy Kangen Water®. Enagic’s Kangen Water® will keep your body healthy and well hydrated.

Most of the time we don’t even think about what water we use on our plants, but in nature plants are not watered with chlorinated water. Yes, even rain water is often not as pure or at the best pH level. Just like your body needs clean, alkaline, and chlorine-free water for improved health, your plants also need the healthy water for optimal growth and nourishment.

Water from an Enagic® machine producing Kangen Water® can even revitalize weak plants, making them stronger and more vibrant than ever before! Enagic® Water stimulates germination and improves seedling development, leaving your plants in peak condition without the use of harmful chemicals.

Give it a try and see for yourself which plants thrive better, those watered with chlorinated water or those watered with the correct pH level water. You will notice also a difference in the taste of your vegetables and fruit.

Use this list of vegetables and flowers and their pH level requirements.

Plants that Prefer Slightly Alkaline Water (pH 8.5 – 9.5)

Most of these plants show optimal growth in the 7.5 – 8.5, so experiment with water to find the best results. Water with a pH level of 7.0 is neutral water, a pH level of 8.5 is slightly alkaline water.
The pH of your soil will also have a big impact on which water you should use.

• Vegetables in this group include:
  asparagus, beets, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, carrots, mushrooms, parsley.
• Flowers in this group include:
  geraniums, irises, phlox, vinca, lilacs and hydrangeas (for pink blooms). Hydrangeas are a rare plant, as the pH of your water will change the color of the blooms.

Plants that Prefer Slightly Acidic Water (pH 4.0 – 6.0)

Some plants prefer slightly acidic water and soil. For these plants experiment with a pH level of 5.0
Remember to always take into consideration the pH of your soil

• Vegetables in this group include:
  peanuts, cucumbers, potatoes, dill, leeks, chili peppers, eggplant, garlic, chives, artichoke, tomatoes, and most berries.

• Flowers in this group:
  rhododendrons, begonias, azaleas, heathers, hydrangeas (for blue blooms).

• Roses grow most vibrantly with pH 5.5 – 6.5, in this caste use slightly less acidic water with a pH level of 6.0 or even neutral water with a pH level of 7.0 and see which one yields the healthiest roses with your particular soil.

Plants that Prefer Neutral Water (pH 7.0)

Many vegetables and plants thrive in a neutral pH.

• Vegetables:
  spinach, parsnips, brussels sprouts, sweet peas, broccoli, asparagus, beans, avocado, cantaloupe, kiwi, mint, lettuce, onions, yams, radishes, squash, bell peppers

• Flowers:
  dahlias, chrysanthemums and tulips.

Bottled water is inaccurately perceived as the healthiest water choice. We have images of clean mountain streams and bubbling springs of pure water, but the reality is that a lot of bottled water is derived from municipal water.(2)

The purification process removes everything from bottled water not just pollutants, leaving the water void of any nutrients and benefits that are naturally in pure water. The purified water is then placed into a plastic bottle, which may leach contaminants into your drink. The production of bottled water required approximately 1 million tons of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics in 2006(3). PET are petroleum-derived plastics that have been suspected of leaching hormone-disrupting chemicals into the water.(4)

Ounce for ounce bottled water costs more than gasoline and anywhere from 250 to 10,000 times more than tap water.

You may try to save money by having large jugs filled or delivered to your home, but beware of bacterial infection. Bacteria grow best in warm, moist places and the threaded bottle cap is often a perfect place to hide. If ingested, bacteria can cause many gastrointestinal health risks.

Is Tap Water Better?

Tap water is certainly cheaper and more convenient than buying bottled water. The main concern with tap water is the mystery of what may have trickled down the water chain and into your city’s water source. There have been 315 pollutants found in America’s tap water since 2004, and over half of these pollutants are completely unregulated and can legally exist in any amount.(5)

Are There Any Other Options?

You can trust Enagic’s superior filtration to remove impurities, chemicals and residues found in municipal water. Enagic’s alkaline, ionizer unit is as convenient as tap because it connects directly to your faucet and provides a continuous stream of pure, clean, Kangen Water®.

Our bodies are full of toxins and waste that get trapped as a result of chronic dehydration. When you don’t drink enough water to fulfill your intake needs, at least 8 cups a day, your body falls into a state of dehydration. When this happens every day, endlessly, you develop chronic dehydration. Most people have become so accustomed to the feelings and symptoms of dehydration that they accept headaches, neck strain and general fatigue as normal and inescapable.

When your body is dehydrated, your mental clarity, focus and even brain function are affected(1). There are many cleansing programs, but truly the healthiest, safest form is pure, healthy water. Your body has the innate ability to flush out unnecessary toxins and waste. Unfortunately, the majority of people don’t give their body what it needs to perform. Highly acidic diets, full of fatty foods and poor water choices, impede the body’s performance.

• Bottled water lacks additional beneficial nutrients, and is largely unregulated.(2) Nearly 1/3 of all bottled water contains levels of contamination that exceed allowable limits(3).
• Tap water is more heavily regulated than bottled, but may contain high levels of chlorine and other contaminants(4).

Poor water choices may inhibit your goal of cleansing your mind and body. You can trust Enagic’s unique filtering process to provide pure, healthy, great-tasting Kangen Water® to provide for your hydration. Staying hydrated with adequate amounts of clean water can help your body.

Being properly hydrated with a clean body can lead to clarity of mind(5), increased energy, and a body which can function with optimal health.

Stress, worry and anxiety are all forms of mental toxins. It is important to take time each day to clear your mind and rid yourself of a build up of these toxic wastes.

Start with the following:

• Escape from information overload. Turn off your radio, TV, cell phone and other forms of communication. Make an effort to get away from it all.
• Find a quiet place to sit and meditate or just breathe in peace. You may even try to close your eyes and focus on the quiet. With a relaxed state of mind focus on allowing positive thoughts in and keeping negative thoughts out.
• After you have calmed yourself, go for a brisk walk, bike ride or run. Bring extra Kangen Water® to keep hydrated during exercise. Taking in the fresh air and cool Kangen Water® will have a natural soothing effect.

Often we are encouraged to stay strong and just “get over it” or move on, when negative events come up in life. This lifestyle can only last for a brief time before you develop chronic stress. Taking the time to cleanse your mind and body will allow you to enter life with higher clarity of mind and a healthier body.

With the following tips and guidelines, you can hit the gym or pavement with more confidence than before. It takes good planning, knowledge, and support to reach your fitness goals. When you take time to plan specific targets and develop a strategy for reaching them, you’ll find it easier to reach your goals and your plan will be more sustainable. With effort and discipline you will soon surpass your fitness goals and start aiming even higher.

• Setting short term goals will allow you to reach your long term goal. When setting your goals, it is important to be realistic and know your true fitness level. Listed below are two of the easiest ways to assess your fitness level:

• Test your endurance. Walk for one mile and record your time and physical reactions. Are you completely spent or ready to walk another mile? Check your pulse rate before and after your walk.

• Test your flexibility. Stand up tall with your legs straight and see how far you can reach. Can you touch your knees or toes?

You may even surprise yourself with how much you can do already!

When planning your fitness routine, remember to include both cardio and strength training. Strength training is especially important if your goal is weight loss. It will keep your metabolism up for two days! Your metabolism is the rate at which your body burns excess calories. The higher your metabolism the more calories it will burn. For every 3500 excess calories your body burns, you can lose one pound of fat. This is why people with higher metabolisms tend to be slimmer.

You should aim for three days of strength training and four days of cardio. It is important to rest between your strength training workouts. This will allow your muscles to repair themselves.

Remember to stay sufficiently hydrated while you exercise. Roughly 2 hours before your routine, try drinking 16 ounces of water, and again around 30 minutes before you start. Your water needs will vary depending on your location and the intensity of your workout. The hotter the environment, or the harder you push yourself, the more hydration you will need.

Drink Kangen Water® at the Gym

It is clear that staying properly hydrated during your workout is vital for optimal health. Kangen Water® is the obvious choice when choosing your water for the gym. Fill your reusable water bottle with your Kangen Water®.

Neither tap water nor bottled water have additional nutrients to boost your health while you exercise.
