What is Oxidation and its effects? And how to slow down this naturally occurring process?
All living and non-living matter battle with oxidation. Rusty nails are an example of oxidation at work and the same process causes aging and decay.
To get an idea of what oxidation and anti-oxidation looks like, take a look at the image below, showing two glass containers, one filled to the brim with Kangen Water® and the other with neutral tap water. In each container are a few iron construction nails. Both containers were filled back in June of 2008. You will notice that the glass container to the right is clouded with rust from the nails - this is oxidation at work and the results would be the same with any kind of regular water (bottled or otherwise).
The image to the left is filled with 9.5 pH Kangen Water® and the nails in this water are still preserved even to this day. As a result of the oxidating properties of water, the nails in the tap water will continue to deteriorate. If Kangen Water® can preserve nails, imagine what it can do for your body.
Oxidation in liquids can be measured in ORP which stands for Oxidation Reduction Potential. A +ORP value is unhealthy for you and helps accelerate the breakdown of cells and thus accelerates the aging process while a -ORP value is very good for your health and will actually slow down the aging process. Please remember that a (-) negative value in such circumstances is a beneficial indicator for your health – similar by analogy to the negative values being of benefit to someone playing golf.
Kangen Water: 10x's the Power of Orange Juice.
Below is a visual chart of ORP (notice the bottled waters and beverages with a positive + ORP value) - even the bottled water which we have been lead to believe is good for us is actually unhealthy for a number of reasons.
Kangen water is typically between -300 to -600. I have seen it personally as high as -800 ORP. The higher the negative (-) ORP, the better it is in combating oxidation and free radicals which affect our health and well being.
Bottled water has been measured as high as +600 ORP in our personal demonstrations. Notice Kangen Water® on the opposite side of the chart is even surpassing green tea and orange juice. If you haven't already done so, stop drinking sodas. Not only are they extremely oxidizing but also highly acidic which is a big contributing factor in sickness and weight gain.
