I love Kangen Water for our overall health

　Alkaline and Acid Balance
　The pH balance of the body is very important to health.
　The components of the diet affect the pH balance of the body, and those who eat a diet that tends to be acidic,
　Drinking alkaline ionized water may be recommended for balance.

　Acid Reduction Potential (ORP)
　Alkaline ionized water generators also function to reduce the oxidation-reduction potential of water.
　This produces water with antioxidant properties,
　It is believed to help reduce the body's oxidative stress.

　Mineral intake
　　For alkaline ionized water,
　　Ca (calcium)
　　K (potassium)
　　Mg (magnesium), etc.
　It often contains minerals.

　These minerals are important for bone and muscle health.

　The importance of water intake
　The body is largely made up of water, and fluid intake is essential for maintaining good health.
　By incorporating alkaline ionized water as a daily hydration,
　Health benefits can be pursued along with sufficient water.

　Combination with meals
　In addition to drinking alkaline ionized water, it is also important to be aware of a well-balanced diet.
　By incorporating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding excessive salt and sugar intake,
　It helps maintain the body's pH balance.

　Selection of drinks
　Excessive consumption of alcohol, caffeine, or other drinks that are acidic in nature,
　The body's pH balance may be upset.
　Be sure to consume in moderation and balance with alkaline ionized water.

　The oxidation-reduction potential (abbreviated as ORP) is a numerical measure of the oxidation or reduction.
　The ORP is a numerical value that indicates the oxidizing or reducing capacity of a substance.
Its unit is millivolts (mV).
　Specifically, it indicates the ability to receive (oxidation) or donate (reduction) electrons from water or other liquids.

　The following is a brief summary of its features and significance.

　Oxidation
　A process that accepts electrons; positive values of ORP indicate strong oxidative activity.
　As an example, chlorine is known as a strong oxidizer and is capable of killing microorganisms.

　Reduction
　Process of donating electrons; negative values of ORP indicate a strong reducing effect.
　Reducing water is believed to help reduce the body's oxidative stress.

　Health Impact
　Water with a strong reducing effect (negative ORP) is considered to be an antioxidant,
　There is a theory that it helps prevent cell oxidation.

　Oxidation is considered one of the causes of cellular aging,
　It is believed that suppressing this contributes to the maintenance of health.

　Alkaline Ionized Water Generator
　Many alkaline ionized water generators are,
　At the same time producing alkaline water using the process of electrolysis,
　The ORP of that water can be negative.

　This produces water with a strong reducing effect.

　Antioxidant activity is in the response of the cells and tissues of living organisms,
　It refers to the action of inhibiting or preventing the adverse effects of oxidation.
　The health benefits of this antioxidant action are discussed in more detail below.

　Free radicals and oxidative stress
　The process of metabolism of various substances in the living body,
　Free radicals, unstable molecules lacking electrons, may be formed.

　Free radicals try to steal electrons from other molecules,
　This can damage cell structure and function.
　This phenomenon is called oxidative stress.

　The role of antioxidants
Antioxidants are the only ones that can reduce these free radicals from
　By neutralizing or detoxifying,
　Prevents cell damage caused by oxidative stress.

　Association with disease
　Oxidative stress is,
　 Diabetes
　 Cardiovascular disease
　 Neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease)
　 Cancer
　and a variety of other diseases.
　It is believed to cause or contribute to its progression.

　Aging Control
　Oxidative stress is also implicated in the aging process,
　Antioxidants may slow cellular aging.

　Take in food or supplements
　In many foods, especially fruits and vegetables,
　 Vitamin C
　 Vitamin E
　 Polyphenols
　It contains antioxidants such as

　By taking these properly,
　It is expected to help reduce oxidative stress in the body.

　The importance of balance
　However, an excess of antioxidants is not necessarily a good thing.
　Moderate doses are important, and it is not safe to take large amounts of any particular supplement."
　Antioxidant properties reduce oxidative stress in the body,
　It has a role in preventing health problems caused by it.

　But as for the intake of antioxidants,
　The type and amount of the product, the individual's physical condition and lifestyle, and other factors.
　It is important to note that the appropriate amount and method of intake varies.

　There are important checking points when we will select a Kangen Water Generator.
　pH adjustment function
　Check how well the generator can adjust the pH of the alkaline ionized water.
　A model that can create water with different pH levels as needed would be ideal.

　Acid Reduction Potential (ORP)
　It is advisable to choose a model that can produce water with high reducing power (negative ORP).
　The lower (negative) the ORP value, the stronger the antioxidant effect.
　For example, water at -400 mV has a stronger antioxidant effect than water at -100 mV.

　Filter Quality
of filters to remove impurities from the water.
　 Quolity
　 Frequency of exchange
　 Ease of replacement
　Please, check it out to your satisfaction.

　Regular maintenance
　Whether the generator requires maintenance,
　Also check its frequency and cost.

　Ease of installation
　Match the equipment and kitchen space in your own home,
　It is important to select a model with the appropriate size and shape.

　Durability
　Made of high quality materials,
　Choosing a model that lasts longer will result in lower costs.

　Costs
　Choose a cost-effective model that fits your budget.
　However, models that are too inexpensive,
　Note that there may be problems with quality and functionality.

　Brands and Reviews
　A well-established brand,
　If you choose a product with high user review ratings,
　It reduces the risk of failure.

　Warranty and after-sales service
　Product warranty period and,
　The quality of after-sales service is also a point of consideration.

　Additional Functions
　In addition to alkaline ionized water in some high-performance models,
　 Beauty water
　 Acidic water
　The system may have the ability to generate
　You may want to consider whether you need these additional features before making your selection.

　While considering these points,
　Suitable for your lifestyle and needs.
　You should choose an alkaline ionized water generator.
