moeWhy we should drink alkaline water and what are the benefits of using alkaline ionic water? We would like to share with you many improvements that have been extracted from “presentation at the eighth annual international symposiums on man and his environment in health and disease. Therefore, let us dig deep to know what the meaning of it is and why we need it in our life. Here are the clinical improvements obtained from the intake of reduced water*.
What is Alkaline Water?
Here is the general description of the WHO Guidelines for Drinking- Water Quality where shows what kind of water we need to drink.
The pH of a solution is the negative common logarithm of the hydrogen ion activity:
pH = -log (H+)
The pH of water is a measure of the acid-base equilibrium and, in most natural waters is controlled by the carbon dioxide–bicarbonate–carbonate equilibrium system. An increased carbon dioxide concentration will therefore lower pH, whereas a decrease will cause it to rise. The temperature will also affect the equilibria and the pH. In pure water, a decrease in pH of about 0.45 occurs as the temperature is raised by 25 °C. In water with a buffering capacity imparted by bicarbonate, carbonate, and hydroxyl ions, this temperature effect is modified (APHA, 1989). The pH of most drinking water lies within the range of 6.5 to 8.5. Natural waters can be of lower pH, as a result of, for example, acid rain or higher pH in limestone areas.
Kangen Water has been used in Japan for more than 40 years. Alkaline water is water that has a higher pH level than tap water. Enagic’s alkaline ionizer and water filtration machines produce it. These machines can transform your ordinary tap water into healthy, fresh-tasting alkaline drinking water.
These are the results of DR.H Hayashi, M.D, and Dr. M. Kawamura, M.D. that have been obtained from their using Alkaline water.
Since the introduction of Alkaline ionic water in our clinic in 1985, we have had the following interesting clinical experience in the use of this type of water. Using alkaline ionic water for drinking and the preparation of meals for our inpatients, we have noticed:
- Declines in blood sugar levels in diabetic patients.
- Improvements in peripheral circulation in diabetic gangrene.
- Declines in uric acid levels in patients with gout.
- Improvements in liver function exams in hepatic disorders.
- Improvements in gastroduodenal ulcers and prevention of their recurrences.
- Improvements in hypertension and hypotension.
- Improvements in allergic disorders such as asthma, urticaria, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis.
- Improvements in persistent diarrhea which occurred after gastrectomy.
- Quicker improvements in postoperative bower paralysis.
- Improvements in serum bilirubin levels in newborn babies.
- The number of patients complaining of constipation also decreased markedly.
- The changes in stool findings strongly suggest that alkaline ionic water intake can decrease the production of putrefied or pathogenic metabolites.
Devices to produce reduced water were introduced into our clinic in May 1985. Based on the clinical experiences obtained in the past 15 years, it can be said that the introduction of electrolyzed-reduced water for drinking and cooking purposes for in-patients should be the very prerequisite in our daily medical practices. any dietary recipe cannot be a scientific one if the property of water is not taken by the patients is not taken into consideration.
The ministry of health and welfare in Japan announced in 1965 that the intake of reduced water is effective for the restoration of intestinal flora metabolism.
