What is Kangen Water
Kangen means “return to origin” in Japanese. Kangen Water® is alkaline water produced by Enagic’s alkaline ionizer and water filtration machines. For more than 40 year Kangen Water® has been used in Japan to help restore the body to its original, alkaline state. These machines can transform your ordinary tap water into healthy, fresh tasting alkaline drinking water. Kangen Water® is superior to tap and purified water Proponents claim that Kangen Water has various health benefits, such as better hydration, detoxification, and antioxidant properties due to its alkaline nature. However, scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited, and some experts argue that the body’s natural pH regulation mechanisms render the pH of ingested water irrelevant to health.
kangen water health benefits :
Improved Hydration: Advocates suggest that Kangen Water’s smaller water cluster size and altered pH levels may enhance hydration by making water molecules more easily absorbed by cells. However, there’s limited scientific evidence supporting this claim.
Antioxidant Properties: Kangen Water is often promoted for its purported antioxidant properties, which proponents claim can help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. Some studies suggest that alkaline water may have antioxidant effects, but further research is needed to confirm its efficacy and potential health benefits.
Detoxification: Some proponents claim that Kangen Water can aid in detoxification by flushing out toxins from the body. However, the body already has efficient mechanisms, primarily through the liver and kidneys, for detoxification, and there’s little scientific evidence to support the idea that Kangen Water enhances this process.
Alkalizing Effect: Kangen Water is alkaline, with a higher pH level than regular tap water. Proponents argue that consuming alkaline water helps balance the body’s pH levels, which they believe can prevent diseases and promote overall health. However, the body’s pH is tightly regulated, and there’s limited evidence to support the notion that drinking alkaline water significantly impacts systemic pH levels or health outcomes.
Improved Digestion: Some proponents suggest that Kangen Water can improve digestion by reducing acidity in the stomach. However, the stomach is highly acidic to aid in the digestion of food, and altering its pH with alkaline water may interfere with this process. More research is needed to understand the effects of alkaline water on digestion.
