Sugar? Is it really as sweet as we think
Sucrose, commonly called sugar, is everywhere in our diet—from sugar-cured ham to salad dressing to bread to flavored waters. Sugar comes in many forms—high fructose corn syrup, cane syrup; and even when we think we don’t see sugar in the label, it’s hidden behind those hard to pronounce fancy names like monosaccharide, disaccharide or trisaccharide. Sugar in this country is a way of life.
It owns us. And we give into it everyday.
Though it tastes great and adds good flavor to everything from soda to spaghetti sauce, the downside risk is that it is tantamount to eating glue. Can you imagine waking up in the morning, pouring out a big bowl of Elmer’s White, licking your lips and scooping it up as if it you’re eating your favorite daily cereal? The nutritional value is nil and, contrary to what we think or believe, it puts you on a speedy road to early disease…maybe even death.
Blood is the first to be affected by the build-up of ‘glue.’ We depend, we demand, that our blood carries nutrients all the time, everyday to all the organs and cells in the body. It’s blood that gets the oxygen to where it needs to go. It’s blood that we rely upon to keep us alive, breathing and free of illness. Clear flowing blood is critical to the nourishment of all the cells of our body right down to the interstitial level.
Interstitial. When I first heard that term, it tied my tongue up so bad that I was embarrassed trying to say it. But it is this interstitial tissue that is home to our cells. It’s the ‘clothes’ for the cells that keep the ‘bugs’ from infesting them, bringing them down and putting us in bed with heaven-only-knows what. It’s the conduit necessary for a healthy immune system. All that is good and all that is bad gets to the cells by way of this tissue. The system gets upended when we eat sugar, because sugar turns to acid in the body. It’s this acid that becomes glue-like and interrupts the healthy flow of blood. End result, the cardiovascular system plugs up. The glue is slowing everything down. The blood that we need to be like a clear river becomes stagnant and polluted. It protests. Heart attacks happen, strokes occur; diabetes gets a foothold and a myriad of diseases have a flowerbed where they can take root.
Fortunately, Eastern medicine has introduced us to hexagonal water. No, I didn’t say, “Fortunately, we have DRUGS”? This water, unlike drugs, goes deeper and strengthens the immune system rather than camouflage and buries the symptoms. It deals with what needs to be right by our body rather than making the symptoms go away only to recur in a different form. Hexagonal water uniquely goes deep and penetrates down to the interstitial level. It bathes the cells with powerful alkaline water that cleans up the terrain surrounding the cells. It keeps them fed and protects from acid causing disease that threatens our ability to function, work and take care of our daily responsibilities and otherwise enjoy life. Result, acid diminishes or goes away and no more glue! Add to that exercise and optimum diet and you have the winning formula for a lifetime of excellent health.
You Can Lose Your Fat… And Never Find It Again!
Have you ever thought about what ‘fat’ actually is?
Until Kangen water came along I was probably like you. I thought it was simply the result of overeating. Then I learned about the acid-alkaline balance from Dr. Dave, Tony Robbins and some other experts along the way. It was on a Tony Robbins recording that he explained in a very understandable and simple way that the fat that we all have on our bodies to one degree or another is developed by the body to protect the organs from acid waste build up.
When the body’s acid alkaline ratio gets out of balance and there is an abundance of acid that could potentially attack the liver, heart, lungs and other organs, the body calls its defenses into play and tells itself to bring in more fat. Now here’s where the fat issue is tied to the weight gain. The more acid we take in whether it be soda, animal protein, alcohol or sweets, the more our body reacts by manufacturing of fat. So the deeper meaning of what we eat is how it converts to greater acid in our system.
When looking at obesity in America today where the number of obese Americans has increased from 14.5% to 32.2% in the last 25 years http://www.obesityinamerica.org/ , we are essentially looking at a huge change in the acid-alkaline balance of individuals. Sadly, the CDC tells us that 2 out 3 adults are overweight and tragically 19% of our children are as well. While it would be practical to think that all we need to do is cut back on the quantity, the best solution is to focus on the kind of food we eat and feed to our children. If a more alkaline diet is put on the table, the quantity of what is eaten can be limitless. When a lifestyle is complemented with Kangen water, the acid-alkaline balance becomes easier to achieve and soon people can begin to see their weight begin to fall into a more normal range.
