FORMER DII ATHLETE EXPOSES THE DIRTY SECRET BEHIND BOTTLED WATER THAT WILL LEAVE YOU AND YOUR BODY CRAVING MORE

Water Splash in Motion

UNDERSTANDING THE
FOUR TYPES OF WATER 

BOTTLED

Bottled water isn’t always the healthier or cleaner option it’s marketed to be. Beyond environmental waste, many brands use misleading labels, and the water inside often isn’t any better than tap. The Waste Producing enough plastic bottles to meet America’s bottled water demand (200 billion annually) uses more fuel than 1.3 million cars driving every day. The Health Risks PET plastic bottles contain antimony, a toxic substance. In small doses it can cause dizziness and depression; in higher doses, nausea, vomiting, and even death. The Reality Many people assume bottled water is safer or cleaner, but that’s not always true. The FDA, which regulates bottled water, only requires weekly testing and does not share results with the EPA or the public. Labels can also be misleading, so it’s important to research the brand you’re drinking. And unlike living water sources, bottled water is considered “dead water.”

TAP

While convenient, tap water isn’t always as pure as it seems. It can contain harmful chemicals and heavy metals that may impact long-term health. What’s in Tap Water? Most tap water contains a mix of chemicals like arsenic, fluoride, chlorine, and even lead. These substances may be within “acceptable limits,” but they can still place stress on the body over time. Arsenic A toxic heavy metal and known carcinogen. Though regulated at 10 parts per billion, many states periodically exceed this standard. Fluoride Added to water supplies under the belief it helps prevent tooth decay, but highly toxic in larger amounts. Several countries and U.S. cities have banned fluoridation. Chlorine Used to disinfect water, but it can combine with other compounds to form byproducts (THMs) that damage cells and organs. Long-term exposure has been linked to health risks. Lead Often enters tap water from corroded pipes and fixtures, and can cause serious neurological damage, especially in children.

REVERSE OSMOSIS

Water Filter Faucet

RO systems remove nearly everything from water—including beneficial minerals. While it produces very “pure” water, the process also strips away the natural electrolytes your body needs, leaving what many call “dead water.” What is Reverse Osmosis? Reverse osmosis is a water purification process that forces water through a semi-permeable membrane to remove contaminants, bacteria, and dissolved solids. It’s highly effective at reducing pollutants like lead, arsenic, fluoride, and chlorine. The Downside The same process that removes harmful substances also removes essential minerals—like calcium, magnesium, and potassium—that naturally occur in healthy water sources. This results in water that is demineralized and has a very low pH (acidic). Why “Dead Water”? Because it lacks natural electrolytes and minerals, RO water does not contribute to the body’s mineral intake. Some research suggests that drinking demineralized water long term can disrupt electrolyte balance, leach minerals from the body, and negatively affect hydration at a cellular level.

KANGEN

Unlike bottled, tap, or reverse osmosis water, Kangen® water is restructured to restore minerals, balance pH, and bring hydration back to life. It’s clean, alkaline, and antioxidant-rich—water the way nature intended. What is Kangen® Water? Kangen® water is created through a process called electrolysis, where tap water passes through powerful filters and platinum-coated titanium plates. This process: Removes contaminants like chlorine, lead, and other toxins. Restructures the water to create smaller molecular clusters, making it easier for your body to absorb and hydrate on a cellular level. Why It Matters Where bottled water is “dead” and reverse osmosis water is stripped of life-giving minerals, Kangen® water restores vitality. It’s not just about drinking water—it’s about drinking water that truly supports your health and energy.

The Science-Backed Benefits of Kangen® Water

Alkaline

The pH scale (1–14) measures whether a substance is acidic, neutral, or alkaline. A pH of 7 is neutral, anything below 7 is acidic, and anything above 7 is alkaline. Our bodies naturally function best at a slightly alkaline state of around 7.365, which helps support overall health and resilience.

In fact, Nobel Prize–winning research by Dr. Otto Warburg demonstrated that disease, including cancer, struggles to thrive in an alkaline environment. This is why maintaining proper pH balance through what you drink and eat is so important for long-term wellness.

But here’s where many people get misled: not all alkaline water is created equal. Bottled alkaline waters typically achieve their pH by adding chemical minerals like
calcium, magnesium, or sodium. Over time, consuming excess amounts of these additives may create new health concerns—defeating the purpose of drinking it in the first place.

Kangen Water® is different. It uses advanced ionization technology to naturally alter the pH of your water through an electrical process—not chemicals. The result is a clean, hydrating, and bioavailable water that works in harmony with your body. Pair it with alkaline-rich foods, and you create a natural defense system to support healing, energy, and vitality.

Antioxidant

Think about what happens when you cut an apple and leave it out —it turns brown.

That browning is oxidation, or the apple beginning to “age.” The same process happens inside our bodies.

Scientists measure this process using something called an ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) meter. Pictured Below

  • Positive ORP = speeds up aging and cellular damage.

  • Negative ORP = slows aging and protects your cells.

Here’s the exciting part: Kangen water is loaded with active hydrogen, giving it a powerful negative ORP.​

​This means it helps neutralize harmful free radicals (the unstable molecules that can cause disease and premature aging). By fighting oxidative stress this antioxidant rich water protects your cells the same way lemon juice protects a cut apple from browning.

FUN FACT: Just 12 ounces of Kangen water delivers the same antioxidant power as a cup of blueberries—but in a way your body can absorb instantly.

Micro-Clusters

Most tap and bottled water molecules cluster together in groups of 15–20, forming larger structures that your body struggles to absorb efficiently. Kangen® water, on the other hand, is created through ionization, which restructures the water into smaller clusters of about 7–9 molecules.

This difference matters: smaller clusters mean Kangen® water is “lighter,” easier to drink, and better at penetrating your cells—hydrating you on a deeper, cellular level.

Smaller Clusters, Smarter Hydration

Here’s a simple way to picture it:

  • Imagine your stomach lining as a chain-link fence.

  • Now, take a bucket of marbles (Kangen® water) and a bucket of golf balls (regular water).

  • Throw each at the fence—most marbles pass through easily, while the golf balls mostly bounce back.

That’s why drinking Kangen® water doesn’t leave you with the heavy, “sloshing” feeling you sometimes get with regular water. Instead, it hydrates where it counts—inside your cells.

Detoxification

DETOXIFICATION AT A CELLULAR LEVEL

Because Kangen Water is structured in smaller molecular clusters, it can be absorbed more efficiently by your cells. Better hydration means your body can perform its natural detoxification processes more effectively—flushing out toxins and supporting optimal cellular function.

Another unique benefit comes from its alkaline pH and strong cleansing ability. Kangen Water is powerful enough to emulsify oils, which is why it’s so effective when used to wash fruits and vegetables. It helps break down and remove oil-based pesticides and residues that ordinary tap water cannot.

This means you’re not only hydrating and detoxifying your body from the inside out—you’re also ensuring the food you eat is genuinely clean, safe, and nourishing.

How the Kangen Machine Actually Works

STEP ONE

Advanced Filtration

As water enters the machine, it passes through a high-grade, double carbon anti-bacterial filter. This process removes chlorine, rust, lead, unpleasant odors or tastes, and reduces sediments down to 5 microns in size. The result is clean, great-tasting water straight from your tap, free of common impurities that can affect both health and flavor.

STEP TWO

Water Electrolysis

Next, the filtered water flows across platinum-dipped titanium electrode plates, which alternate between positive and negative charges. Through a process called electrolysis, the H₂O molecule is split into H⁺ (molecular hydrogen) and OH⁻ (hydroxyl ions). Molecular hydrogen is backed by growing scientific research for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body.

STEP THREE

Personal pH Selection

Finally, the machine gives you the ability to choose from seven different pH levels of water. Because our bodies and daily activities require different water properties, this flexibility allows you to select the right option for your needs. For example:

  • Neutral pH for taking medications

  • Alkaline water for daily hydration

  • Acidic water for tasks like cleaning produce or household surfaces

This customization means you’re not just drinking water — you’re choosing the type of water that best supports your health and lifestyle.
