Alkaline ionized water is naturally energizing, packed with antioxidants, and more hydrating and alkaline than typical beverages. In fact, a glass of alkaline ionized water alone contains 3-4 times more antioxidants than a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or green tea made with regular water!

Try starting your day off a freshly made smoothie or juice, hydrate with alkaline ionized water throughout the day, and indulge in flavored water or coffee or tea made with alkaline ionized water once in awhile for a treat.

Juicing tips

Fresh juice and smoothies are great because they provide sustenance without using as much energy to digest as regular food. Because fresh juice is so concentrated, juicing even the most alkaline of produce creates a mildly acidic liquid. Therefore it is best to neutralize this acidity by adding approximately four ounces of alkaline ionized water per glass. All fresh juice should be consumed within 12 hours before the nutritional value begins to decrease.

Soak your produce

We recommend that all produce be soaked in alkaline ionized water with a pH level of 9.5 for ten minutes before juicing or cooking. This is to revive fruits and vegetables and give them the electrical charge they have when first picked. Using a setting above 9.5 will create an ORP (oxidation reduction potential) that’s lower to that which is found in nature, thus we don’t recommend exceeding that level. The ten minutes is a minimum but we don’t recommend for soaking much longer than that as the electrical charge tends to decrease with each passing hour.

Rinsing produce with unfiltered tap water is not effective because municipalities add chlorine or chloramines to the water supply to kill bacteria, and those chemicals are absorbed into your produce when “washed” and thus into your body. Chlorine and chloramines have been linked to cancer and can create a host of other health problems like breathing difficulties. Therefore, even if you are not ready to invest in a water ionizer we recommend that you at least consider a water filter.

Brewing coffee and tea

Coffee beans and black teas are considered acidic, however prepearing them with alkaline ionized water can help offset the acidity. Alkaline ionized water also helps pull out the flavor of coffee and tea more effectively, resulting in a rounder, bolder flavor. You will find that you don’t need to use as many coffee beans or grounds and can re-use tea bags when brewing with alkaline ionized water because of this. Amazingly, you do not need to heat the water in order to brew it as alkaline ionized water is able to penetrate the beans/grounds and leaves/tea bags deeper than regular water due to its microclustered size.

Ice cubes

Did you know that you can make ice cubes with alkaline ionized water? You can, and we recommend using alkaline ionized water ice cubes in all beverages to offset acidity and add antioxidants to your beverage.

Hangover cure

Alkaline ionized water has also been found to be helpful as a “hangover cure” and may even be able to prevent hangovers if you add alkaline ionized water and/or ice cubes made with alkaline ionized water to each glass of alcohol. For best results, drink a full glass of alkaline ionized water before hitting the sheets and another glass or two upon rising.

Dehydration is much more common than most people realize. In fact, 75% of Americans are actually dehydrated right now! Even mild to moderate dehydration can lead to fatigue, dry skin, loss of appetite, headaches, muscle cramps, chills and nausea. It is recommended that we drink a minimum of half our body weight in ounces of water each day to replace the water lost through the daily activities of living. But not all water is created equal.

He we will discuss the water you should and shouldn’t be drinking:

Unfiltered tap water

The positives of tap water are that it is inexpensive and regulated by the government to be neutral or slightly alkaline on the pH scale with a pH of 7 or higher. However, filtering your tap water is Prevention Magazine’s #1 suggestion for reducing your risk of cancer. This is because municipal tap water is laden with a host of known or suspected carcinogens like chlorine, fluoride, mercury and arsenic along with hormone-disrupting chemicals. Some of these toxic chemicals (namely chlorine, chloramines and fluoride) are actually regulated by the government to be there, despite known adverse health effects. Agricultural runoff, chemical cleaning fluids, and pharmaceutical drugs including sex hormones often find their way into our water supplies due to improper disposal. When the water leaves the treatment plant it must travel miles through pipes which may be old and rusted and leach heavy metals into your water. When we consume water that contains traces of synthetic chemicals, we force our liver and kidneys to be the filter, ultimately damaging or destroying two of our vital organs.

Bottled, reverse osmosis or distilled water

Due to fear of contaminants and pollutants in city tap water and added convenience, many people turn to bottled waters, despite the high cost and negative effect the plastic bottles have on the environment. They are then shocked to find that the cons to bottled water don’t end there. Most bottled waters are nothing more than tap water which has been run through a reverse osmosis filter. Reverse osmosis systems remove the good with the bad, so the end product is actually dead, acidic water which forces your body to leach alkaline minerals from your bones to neutralize it. The pH levels of most bottled and distilled waters usually range from pH 3.0 to pH 6.9! A 7.0 reading would be neutral, and because it is a logarithmic scale, a change of one pH unit implies a tenfold shift in alkalinity or acidity. Anything with a pH of less than 7 is acidifying to the body, which means it creates an internal environment where disease can thrive. Distilled water has this same effect on your body and is not recommended for long-term consumption.

The majority of bottled waters have a positive oxidation reduction potential (or +ORP) value, which means it is oxidizing to the body. A negative ORP is required in order to fight free radicals in the body.

Additionally, bottled waters are not heavily regulated, and there have been more than 100 recalls for bacteria and contaminants. A four-year study by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) found that one-fifth of the sampled bottled waters contained known neurotoxins and carcinogens such as styrene, toluene and xylene. Another NRDC study found that, out of 103 brands of bottled water, one-third contained traces of arsenic and E. coli. This means that out of a sample of 1,000 bottles sold in the U.S., at least 300 would have some level of chemical contamination. Many of the plastic water bottles that the dead water is stored in for months contains BPA, a suspected carcinogen which can and does leach into your water.
 
A new report on how to reduce exposure to carcinogens from the President’s Cancer Panel suggests that home-filtered tap water is a safer bet than bottled water, and the Environmental Working Group performed a study which determined that the quality of bottled water is often not higher—and is in some cases worse—than that of municipal sources. So despite trying to get contaminant free-water by buying bottled, there are no guarantees except that you will pay more for it than gasoline.

Well Water, Artesian Water, Glacier Water

The water from standard wells contains valuable alkaline minerals and may not have added chemicals like that of municipal tap water supplies, but it also usually contains contaminates and bacterial organisms. Depending on where the well is located, it may be polluted with nitrates form agricultural runoff, arsenic, pesticides, radon, chemicals found in gasoline, etc. Very few regulations exist to govern the quality of private well water supplies, so it is up to the well owner to monitor and test their well water regularly and/or safeguard with a good filtration system.

Artesian water is comprised of naturally pressurized deposits of water that comes up to the surface when a well is sunk, and has the same quantities as those from standard wells. Artesian water is naturally filtered through the aquifer when it surfaces which removes many of the impurities. However, this natural process can require many years, making it harder and harder for the purification process to keep up with the vast amount of contaminates that man puts into the land nowadays.

Glacier water is formed when glaciers melt and the water enters the water cycle. The water is sometimes advertised as being purer than ground sourced water, but where pollutants or precipitation has been combined with water from glaciers, it shows the same impurities as other water.

Spring Water

Pure spring water is difficult to find and sources are limited. Many springs which were once viable are becoming increasingly contaminated. Unless you live next door to a spring, pure spring water is not usually a viable option, and even if you are able to find a reliable source of spring water, you will still be required to filter out the heavy metals. And unfortunately, bottled spring water carries all the same negatives and issues as regular bottled water (outlined above). 

Sparkling/Carbonated Water

In order to acheive the fizzy bubbles found in sparkling and carbonated waters, carbon dioxide gas is dissolved under pressure in water. This carbonation process actually renders the water acidic and is oxidizing to the body, which means it speeds up the death of your cells. This applies to all carbonated drinks including sodas which are actually the worst beverage you can choose to drink, as they most of them are even more acidic than alcohol. All acidic beverages can actually leach minerals from your body, thus weakening bones and connective tissue.

Filtered, alkaline ionized water
 
Chanson water ionizers were created to replicate what happens in nature to unpolluted streams of alkaline water when it runs over rocks and is given a slight electrical charge. Many doctors, scientists, researchers and water experts across the globe agree that filtered alkaline ionized water with a pH of 9.5 is the healthiest type of water you can drink as it provides your body with alkaline minerals which helps neutralize acidity in our every day diet. According to Dr. Robert O. Young, disease cannot thrive unless it has an acidic environment to live and grow in, and by alkalizing our bodies with alkaline water, we are creating a more disease-resistant body. Ionization causes the water molecules to be microclustered, so they are able to hydrate up to six times better than tap or bottled waters.

Alkaline ionized water is also a powerful antioxidant which seeks out and neutralizes free radicals which would otherwise cause damage to cells and bring about disease and premature aging. This is also known as having a negative ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential). Most tap and bottled waters have a very high ORP, which creates free radicals that actually accelerate the aging process. And alkaline ionized water also delivers an abundance of healthy oxygen to your cells in the form of OH-, which is very stable because it is mated with positively ionized alkaline minerals. Thus, drinking alkaline ionized water results in a body rich in health, oxygen and energy. 
 
You have the choice to continue to consume and to bathe in water that has been processed, chemically altered and deconstructed to a form that bares little resemblance to that which God intended, or to turn the clock back using some very clever science and technology that may improve your health dramatically by merely hooking a Chanson prefilter and water ionizer up to your own tap. Insist on the cleanest, healthiest water available - filtered, alkaline ionized Chanson water.

Ask any athlete what the best source of hydration is for playing sports and working out and they will most likely name the leading sports drink. If pressed as to why, their reply may include something like, “Because it’s filled with electrolytes which are lost through sweat, enhances performance and is more hydrating than water.”

Granted, hydration is key to athletic performance and electrolytes are needed by the body. Electrolytes are ionic solutions that maintain fluid balance in people’s cells and are essential for muscle function, blood pressure regulation and other bodily processes. Electrolytes are lost through perspiration, and include the minerals potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, phosphorous and chloride. The #1 leading sports drink boasts small amounts of three out of six, while Chanson ionized water may contain higher levels of all six depending on the source water.

Here are a few more reasons why Chanson ionized water is superior to all sports drinks:

1. Sports drinks are acidic and have a positive ORP, while Chanson ionized water is alkaline and negatively charged

The truth is, the leading sports drink has a pH level of only 2.95, making it MORE ACIDIC than Red Bull and Diet Coke! In fact, according to a study published by “Nutrition Research” in 2008, enamel and root surfaces of teeth were MOST DAMAGED by Gatorade as opposed to some energy drinks, Coca-Cola and apple juice. When you consume acidic foods and drinks, your body leeches alkaline minerals from the body to neutralize them; particularly calcium from bones and magnesium from muscles–two of the most easily and frequently injured areas of an athlete’s body! Thus, drinking sports drinks may actually weaken the body and make it more prone to injury!

In addition, the leading sports drink has a positive Oxygen Reduction Potential (ORP) of 318, which means it contains free radicals which actually DESTROY cells! On the contrary, a Chanson Water ionizer can produce alkaline pH levels of anywhere from 8-12 (9.5 is optimal for drinking), with negative ORP levels between -150 and -1250 meaning it contains ANTI-oxidants which combat free radicals.

2. Sports drinks contain calories and carbohydrates, artificial flavors, colors and sweeteners, Chanson ionized water is all natural

The ingredients of the leading sports drink include 94% filtered water, artificial flavors, colors and sweeteners, and not a drop of fruit juice. According to the American Heart Association, women should not consume more than 24 g of sugar per day, and men are recommended not to exceed 36 g daily. However, a 16 oz. bottle of the leading sports drink contains 28 g of sugar. Whereas water is a natural thirst quencher that is free of sugar and calories. But don’t reach for bottled water instead! Most bottled waters are almost as acidic, oxidizing, and many come in plastic-leeching bottles which can contaminate the water within with toxins. Chanson ionized water filters out toxins while leaving all minerals in and is all-natural. We recommend filling BPA-Free Bottles with Chanson ionized water for hydrating at the gym, sporting events, and on-the-go.

3. Sports drinks actually dehydrate, while Chanson ionized water is six times more hydrating than conventional water

According to the leading sports drink’s own web site it, “stimulates thirst so athletes will ingest an adequate amount of fluid and electrolytes to stay better well-hydrated compared to when using beverages without electrolytes, particularly sodium.” It is a scientific fact that by the time you feel thirsty you are already dehydrated, and that acidic foods and drinks are dehydrating to the body. Therefore, what the makers of the leading sports drink do is actually dehydrate you so that you’ll drink more of their product! In contrast, Chanson ionized water is microclustered which makes it up to six times more hydrating than any other liquid including traditional water because it penetrates cells deeper to hydrate and flush out toxins.

In addition, a rag soaked in high alkaline Chanson ionized water may be applied topically to sore muscles and joints to temporary alleviate pain and inflammation and help recover from workouts and injuries quicker, making it ideal for athletes. Can your sports drink do that?

Water ionizers have been used for decades in Japan, Korea and Russia but are still gaining popularity in the U.S. Chanson Water ionizers are endorsed by professional baseball player D.J. Carrasco along with professional bodybuilder Dan Hill. For more information on the benefits of Chanson ionized water, visit www.chansonwater.com.

The idea of completely changing one’s eating habits to a whole foods, plant-based diet is overwhelming for most people despite the many proven health benefits that may result. Adding to the challenge may be unsupportive household family members who scoff at the idea of eggplant as a main dish for dinner or refuse to even try tofu. In an effort to help, we’ve created a list of nine small, easy, alkaline substitutes anyone can make to improve their alkalinity (some of which you can swap without the family even noticing!). Even if you never make it to the ideal 80% alkaline/20% acidic ratio, these slight changes will be beneficial to your health and won’t feel like much of a sacrifice (if at all).

1. Instead of Vegetable Oil try Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Corn oil, canola oil, safflower oil, and vegetable oil are refined oils that are not healthy and should be avoided and replaced with cold-pressed oils like extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil, flaxseed oil, coconut oil and hemp oils. Healthy fats are an important part of an alkaline diet and can be obtained through substituting healthy oils for the more mainstream unhealthy oils. All oils can create free radicals when heated, so we recommend using a small amount of water to steam fry your vegetables and then drizzling oil on top, making your own oil-based salad dressings and drizzling healthy oils on top of vegetable wraps.

2. Instead of Sugar or Artificial Sweeteners try Stevia

Sugar has been linked to cancer and artificial sweeteners are not only acidifying but carcinogenic. Swapping your sugar cubes with stevia, an all-natural sweetener derived from herbs, is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your family. According to Ray Kurzwell, author Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever: stevia is highly nutritious, lowers blood sugar in diabetics while regulating blood sugar in non-diabetics, lowers elevated blood pressure, kills bacteria that cause tooth decay, increases energy levels and mental activity, and reduces cravings for alcohol and tobacco. Other natural sugar alternatives: Chicory root, agave nectar.

3. Instead of Table Salt try Sea Salt

Our bodies contain about a pound of salt, and sodium is an alkaline mineral necessary for survival. But the refined iodized salt that sits on most dinner tables in America is completely unhealthy and the type of salt doctors are referring to when they advise patients to cut down on their salt intake. Refill your salt shaker with unrefined sea salt and sprinkle on top of wraps, soups and vegetables. Other alternatives: Celtic salt, Himalayan salt, Real salt.

4. Instead of Peanut Butter try Almond Butter

Peanuts are acidifying to the body and the moldiest, most undesirable peanuts are what is used to make peanut butter. Swap out your P.B. for it’s healthier cousin almond butter, and spread on sandwiches and use as a dip for pretzels, crackers, fruit, and to make smoothies creamier.

5. Instead of Cows Milk try Unsweetened Almond Milk

Cows milk and other dairy products are not only acidifying but contrary to popular belief they actually rob the body of calcium and create a putrid sludge that wreaks havoc on your digestive system. Dump your carton of cows milk and try unsweetened almond milk instead. It is a healthy, delicious, alkaline substitute for drinking, cooking, baking, creamer and making cereal. Other alternatives (buy unsweetened): Coconut milk, soy milk, goat milk, rice milk.

6. Instead of White Rice try Brown Rice

The complete milling and polishing that converts brown rice into white rice destroys 67% of the vitamin B3, 80% of the vitamin B1, 90% of the vitamin B6, half of the manganese, half of the phosphorus, 60% of the iron, and all of the dietary fiber and essential fatty acids. Fully milled and polished white rice is required to be artificially “enriched” with vitamins B1, B3 and iron. Clearly, brown rice is the nutritional winner over white rice. Other alternatives: Basmati rice, quinoa, jasmine rice, wild rice.

7. Instead of Soy Sauce try Bragg Liquid Aminos

Soy sauce is fermented and acidic. A great substitute is Bragg Liquid Aminos, which is a liquid protein concentrate derived from healthy soybeans, which contains 18 essential and non-essential amino acids in naturally occurring amounts, is not fermented or heated and is gluten-free.

8. Instead of Spaghetti try Soba Noodles

Most pastas are made with refined starches that lack nutritional value. Try swapping your spaghetti for soba noodles, tofu noodles, gluten-free pasta, whole wheat pasta or spaghetti squash. You can also try making your own pasta sauce from scratch instead of using pre-packaged sauces which tend to contain sugar and preservatives.

9. Instead of Bottled Water try Alkaline Ionized Water

Not all waters are created equal. Most bottled waters, along with distilled and reverse osmosis waters are actually acidic. Tap water is regulated by the government to be at least a 7 pH which is neutral on the alkaline scale, but is littered with contaminants. Therefore your best option is alkaline ionized water from a Chanson water ionizer which you can hook up to your tap. The water is pre-filtered and microclustered, resulting in better tasting water with a smoother feel that doesn’t cause bloating. It is also rich in antioxidants and able to hydrate and detoxify better than standard water due to its smaller water molecule size. Being properly hydrated is the key to overall wellness and you will not regret the switch from bottled water to ionized alkaline water.

We at Chanson Water love the taste of alkaline pH 9.5 water produced by our water ionizers. However, we recognize that drinking nothing but water day in and day out can become a bit tedious at times, and studies show that you’re likely to drink more water if it’s flavored and that it’s important to drink at least half your body weight in ounces daily to avoid dehydration. So instead of reaching for acidic drinks like coffee, soda, black tea, processed “fruit” juice, sports and energy drinks or alcohol, we offer the following (mostly alkaline) suggestions as additives to your ionized water:

• Crushed fresh mint leaf
• Lemon wedges
• Lime wedges
• Cucumber slices
• Splash of coconut water
• Slice of ginger
• Green tea (can sweeten with Stevia)
• Cinnamon essential oil
• Grapefruit juice or sweet grapefruit essential oil 
• Fresh basil leaves
• Fresh lemongrass
• Lavender
• Rose petals
• Coconut water ice cubes
• Flavored Stevia drops (we like the Sweet Leaf brand)
• True Lemon, True Lime, True Grapefruit and/or True Orange crystallized substitue

• Blueberries
• Strawberries
• Kiwi slices
• Orange slices
• Raspberries
• Fresh pineapple chunks

• Ginger, grapefruit
• Cucumber, strawberries, lavender, lemon
• Lime juice, lemon juice, raspberries, mint leaves
• Rose petals, fresh lemon thyme, lemon juice
• Fresh lemongrass, fresh Thai basil
• Lemon, ginger, cinnamon
• Lime, cucumber, fresh thyme leaves
• Strawberry, kiwi
• Lavender mint

We hope you find this helpful and inspiring. Feel free to experiment and comment with your favorites or your own ideas! Visit www.chansonwater.com for more information on alkaline ionized water.

Caring for a dog requires love, attention, patience and healthy doses of water. Yes: water, the very foundation of life and good health. And yet, we too often give our pets drinking water that threatens their safety and longevity. In fact, the physical ailments that confront most dogs - from arthritis to bone deterioration to chronic fatigue - bear a connection to poor quality drinking water. Identifying this challenge, and changing the water we give our dogs, is the most immediate and effective way to fix this problem. I write these words from experience because my own dog, the beautiful and resilient Molly, is a walking testament to the benefits of alkaline ionized water, as she continues to battle (for the last two and a half years) skin cancer.

For alkaline ionized water contains the necessary pH balance - the negative electrical charge - that exists in nature. This distinction between ordinary tap water and alkaline ionized water is crucial because, notwithstanding state and federal rules about the former, most tap water still contains a variety of harsh chemicals – including copper, lead, fluoride, arsenic and a host of other contaminants – that should raise concerns among all citizens.

Applying this same vigilance to the water we give our pets is just as important. Remember: dogs are more sensitive to a variety of foods and medications than humans, which means we should avoid giving our pets anything that may worsen an already bad situation.

One proposed alternative involves giving dogs a daily supply of bottled water, in lieu of tap water. The problem with this plan, aside from the astronomical cost of buying a ready supply of bottled water, is that bottled water lacks the antioxidants that protect people (and pets) from otherwise frequent illnesses. In fact, exotic images and slick marketing campaigns notwithstanding, bottled water is not synonymous with better health. On the contrary, there are numerous studies confirming the health hazards (from plastic, among other things) and environmental risks associated with bottled water.

The solution to this issue starts with alkaline ionized water. Compared to expensive bottled water or tested samples of tap water, where the pH levels may upset bone, tissue and nerve health, alkaline ionized water is the logical choice for people who want to safeguard their pets from harm. Which brings me back to my beloved Molly.

Molly’s battle with skin cancer is, at least from my perspective and careful study, a summons to use alkaline ionized water. I use the disinfecting acid water to clean her wound, and always make sure she has enough of the alkaline water to drink. Interestingly, when presented with two bowls of water (one with tap water, and the other with alkaline ionized water), Molly’s choice is clear: she wants the “good stuff.” According to Ronnie Ruiz, CEO of Chanson Water: “More than the taste, the smaller molecular size of alkaline water eases digestion and furthers hydration by penetrating cells more deeply.”

I notice a marked change, for the better, in Molly’s energy and playfulness, which I attribute to alkaline ionized water. It is also worth noting that veterinarians use a branded form of acid water to treat rashes, injuries and other skin-related afflictions for dogs. I produce my own acid water, with the ionizer I have at home, to disinfect Molly’s kennel, since I do not want to expose her or myself to potentially toxic chemicals.

As companions and friends, our dogs deserve proper care. By making a few easy changes, we can give these pets a renewed opportunity to be active and strong. Without indulging in false cures or expensive (but ineffective) treatments, we should consider the power of alkaline ionized water as part of this recovery and prevention program. At a minimum, our pets will enjoy the taste of the water, as will their owners. Seeing our pets enjoying themselves is a bonus we should all value.

Food Cures For Cancer

It seems that everything and anything these days can cause cancer - and its not surprising considering the unhealthy and abusive environments we subject our bodies to.  Tanning in direct sunlight for hours, eating processed burgers from McDonald’s, and drinking acidic, sugar-laden, corrosive beverages such as soda.  Will this Panda ever get cancer? Probably not, because he eats exactly what his body was designed to eat.

Here at Chanson, we believe that health and happiness come from good dieting and lifestyle.  Here is an article about a doctor with the same theory, who decided to prove it correct when he was diagnosed with a malignant tumor…

Doctor’s Orders How I fought my diagnosis

“I was diagnosed with brain cancer about 16 years ago. I received chemotherapy and went into remission, but the cancer came back and I endured two surgeries and 13 months of chemotherapy. I asked my oncologist if I ought to change my diet to avoid another recurrence. His answer was perfectly stereotypical: “Eat what you like. It won’t make much difference.”

He was wrong.

The extensive research published in the last decade alone proves that what you eat can have a profound effect on your protection against cancer. But my doctor’s answer was hardly surprising. It’s a little-known fact that nutrition is barely taught in med schools, where the solution to most problems is a drug. And doctors don’t trust patients to make lifestyle changes. I recall a conversation with a fellow physician at a conference after I spoke on the importance of a healthy diet in fighting disease. “You may be right, David, but people don’t want to change,” he said. “They just want to take a pill and forget about it.” I don’t know whether he’s right, but after all the study I’ve done, I know it isn’t true for me.

Quest for Change Discovering cancer-fighting foods

I spent months researching the healing powers of food before I fully grasped my own natural cancer-fighting potential. I met with a variety of researchers, scoured medical databases, and combed scientific publications. I traveled all over the world and consulted experts from nearly every continent.

In my quest, I discovered that the list of anticancer foods is actually quite long. Some foods block natural bodily processes such as inflammation that fuels cancer growth. Others force cancer cells to die through a process that specialists call apoptosis. Still other foods assist the body in detoxifying cancer-causing toxins or protecting against free radicals. But most of them attack the disease on a variety of fronts. And they do it every day, three times a day, without provoking any side effects. To avoid the disease, it’s essential to take advantage of this natural protection, and nurture it.”

A recent test in Japan reveals the Chanson Ionized Alkaline water molecule as a smaller particle, allowing for better hydration and penetration into human tissue.

The first report shows the measurement of a frequency test done on water from Japan’s standard tap…

The line width is used to determine the size of the water molecule… Tap water results in a 105.981Hz frequency response.

The second report shows the measurement of the frequency test done on water from a Chanson Water ionizer…

Ionized alkaline water results in a 47.820Hz response, about half that of standard tap water. This result supports the statement that ionized alkaline water can better penetrate tissue, and hydrate places that a standard larger water molecule could not get into.

Alkaline, ionized water directly addresses five of the major causes of aging skin: Toxicity, Dehydration, Acid pH balance, Free Radicals, and Stress and Cortisol.

“The difference between the 20 year old you and the 40 year old you physically is that you have accumulated more acidic wastes at 40 than at 20.”
– Sang Wang, engineer, scientist, and inventor with many U.S. patents

Toxicity - You can’t have beautiful skin if it is loaded with toxins. Toxins in our body and embedded in our skin are one of the most prolific causes of aging and disease. Alkaline Ionized water provides powerful, yet gentle, detoxification flushing acidic waste from the body; cleansing at a deep cellular level.

Dehydration - Dehydration is a crippling enemy of the skin. Alkaline Ionized water passes through your tissue more easily because of its smaller molecular structure. In fact, ionized water is up to six times more hydrating then conventional water.

“Dehydration is associated with problems as diverse as scaly, taut skin, superficial lines and premature aging, in addition to arthritis, insomnia, headaches, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stress, anxiety, depression, and colitis.”
– Dr. F. Batmanghelidj

Acid pH Balance -To retain healthy and youthful skin, establish an alkaline pH. Medical studies report that a pH that is acidic can be correlated to almost all health conditions, including premature aging, heart disease, arthritis and cancer. Drinking alkaline water is one of the most powerful ways to quickly restore and maintain your body’s pH balance for optimal health and youthful skin.

“If the world has accepted antioxidants to slow down the aging process, it should readily agree to the uses of ionized alkaline water as an anti-aging agent.”
– Dr. Arthur M. Ecano, MD

Free Radicals - are the cause of oxidative stress, the principle cause of aging and premature death. By controlling free radicals, anti-oxidants influence how fast and how well we age. Alkaline ionized water carries a negative electrical charge (OH-) which makes it one of the most potent antioxidants available anywhere.

High Levels of Stress and Cortisol - are major contributors to the aging process and disease. Toxicity, Dehydration, Acid pH balance, and Free Radicals all contribute to elevated stress and cortisol levels.

Alkaline ionized water has been proven to help with these issues: toxicity, dehydration, acid pH balance, and free radicals.

A common side effect of drinking alkaline water is weight loss, generally 10-15 pounds, just from the water.

Some people can loose up to 60 pounds by drinking the water and changing some diet habits.

Fat builds up and is used as a buffer when your body becomes too acidic - it neutralizes it. Alkaline water helps the body balance its internal pH levels, which make the fat unnecessary.

You can now get “nature’s” alkaline, ionized water straight from your sink.
