For years we have been encouraged by the experts to consume more water. The bottled water industry has taken off in a big way in the last 20 years. I often wonder how I could have survived all that time without my trusty bottle of water, especially in the cup holder of my car. Now I hear that all that water may not only not have helped me but might have actually hurt me!
Water and Good Nutrition
Long ago I read that a good nutrition program meant eating the right foods to maintain an alkaline not an acid body PH level. My Naturopath tested my saliva at every visit and I was always acidic. She told me that acidic bodies are more prone to disease and are very susceptible to cancer growth. There is much anecdotal evidence that being properly hydrated makes one healthier and increases lifespan. There are also medically supported arguments that some of our most basic complaints, such as headaches and joint inflammation, are caused by not enough water in the system. As part of my nutrition program both my Naturopath and my conventional doctor advised me to drink at least a gallon a day. So I commenced to guzzle a gallon of what turns out to be acidic water every day!
The New Water
The latest craze in the natural health world is the introduction of Kangan Water. Last week after my yoga class I participated in a demonstration of this product. If, like me, you have never heard of this, it is a machine that processes water to change the PH factor. The selling point of the Kangan Water machine is based on a demonstration of how acidic all the water and soft drinks on the market are. A dozen cups of water and drinks are treated with a dropper of chemicals to reveal how acidic they are. Then the Kangan Water is added to the cups and “Presto!” the cups change color to show they have become alkaline. This is a very impressive act, but what does it mean as far as good nutrition goes?
Are We Getting Good Nutrition?
One of the signs of poor nutrition is longitudinal ridges in the fingernails. This condition used to be called Senile Nails because it is commonly seen in the elderly whose digestive tracts are no longer able to absorb nutrients efficiently. Today many people of all ages have these ridges, even children. People seem to be eating more (and gaining weight) but are less energetic and more often ill. Something is clearly wrong here! Whether it’s caused by what we eat, how it’s grown or how it’s processed is not clear – perhaps it’s our water. Kangan Water is not only the right PH level but also claims to be changed in a way that makes it easier for the body’s cells to absorb. This means that the nutrition we get from our food gets into the cells in a more efficient manner; therefore, we have more energy, we expel oxidants, and we become more youthful.
