What is a K8?
A K8 is the flagship model of the in home water ionizers. The inner 8 titanium, platinum dipped plates, electrically charges and produces 7 types of water to choose from for multiple uses and conveniently hooks up to your tap. It is the only medically certified grade ionizer on the market. This incredibly necessary machine produces water on the PH scale from 2.5 strong acidic water all the way up to 11.5 alkaline rich healing water. This machine very quickly becomes the main home appliance, used several times throughout the whole day. In fact you have 68+ uses with this guy! So because the water is electrically charged, you are introduced to the amazing properties hydrogen and antioxidant rich living water can provide for your health. Let me just say, you WILL change your life by bringing this vital device into yours and many others home. Below is a video link giving you the scoop on a Japanese home ionizer that is taking overall wellness and upgrading it. It discusses the major importance of molecular hydrogen amongst other things. Take time to further your research on pubmed or google scholar, and if you have questions I’m happy to dive into water wisdom with you.
How to wash produce properly
One of my favorite uses with my machine is the ability to properly clean my produce. The amount of residue and filth that is lingering in the bowl after soaking my produce is very disconcerting, while satisfying. Knowing though, that I am providing my family and self with food that is now free of herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, and all other oil based chemicals sprayed onto crops, puts me at ease. Yes, even organic has junk on it that disrupts our hormones. For a long time I thought I had a few food allergies but then switched to all organic fruits and vegetables in my early adulthood and that helped a lot but now and then I would still have a reaction. Now that I soak everything in my Kangen water, PH of 11.5, which emulisives oil. I have not dealt with any reactions. I also rinse in the 2.5 to kill off any bacteria that might be hanging out. No e-coli for me thanks. Are you aware of Glyphosate? Well it’s definitely not your friend. In fact glyphosate is banned in most countries so why is it in our food? Properly ridding all the junk sprayed on our produce is going to aid immensely in the necessary properties we need, to be gaining from our fruits and veg. 11.5 is a multi useful PH and so is 2.5, which I use in several different aspects in my home. Below is an article linked that shares more of the science, about soaking our produce to better our health in the long run.
Ditch the plastic
It is 2024. Can you believe that! While most days I still feel like my 22 year old self, it is pretty crazy to think about. So, how far have we come in the plastic industry? How have single-use plastic water bottles impacted our environment and health? Why are we still polluting our home with this toxic waste? Well the answer to these questions are numerous and honestly just really sad and unfortunate. So what are you doing about it? It really doesn’t take much effort to be aware of your plastic consumption. The easiest place to start is by ditching your “disposable” plastic water bottles. These are really not disposable hence the phrase ‘single-use’ because they can not compost and break back down. Which is a the result of the massive and ever expanding pile of plastic that is the size of the state of Texas just floating in the ocean. Also if you didn’t already know but humans throw away so many plastic bottles (just bottles) that it would all circle around the earth 4x’s. WOAH! Let us not forget about all the micro-plastic that is also consuming our earth. This can be very overwhelming but start by digging into your search engines. I enjoy Pinterest for this particular topic. Below is an article with the top 10 facts you need to know now. Incase you haven’t caught on, a Kangen Machine is the most sustainable option for our health and our home. Earth! Also bottled water is acidic and dead. Not something our beautiful living bodies appreciate. You need 9.5 Kangen water stat to thrive.
Science of the Water
So when it comes down to the nitty gritty of Kangen Water, we need to understand what is actually taking place inside the machine and what changes are occurring. First off, this machine is an IONIZER, not just a filter. There is a filter reservoir which removes sediments, rust, lead, chlorine, bacteria and odors. Which is awesome! After the tap water flows through the filter compartment, it passes through 8 titanium platinum dipped plates. As this happens the electrical current is then splitting the water into either alkalized or acidic electrodes giving you water of your choice. This is also where the molecular hydrogen develops. Moving onto ORP/oxidation reduction potential. (Below I will link a video that dives into ORP giving more specifics.) But briefly, Kangen ORP is -500 to -800 straight from the machine and bottled water is around +200 to +300. Yeah no thanks bottled water. Circling back to Molecular Hydrogen (h2) this process is neutralizing free radicals, which is preventing oxidative stress on our bodies. Oxidative stress is what’s linked too many degenerative illnesses. Think of this water as tiny water. Due to how small the molecules are, this water is able to penetrate your bodies cell walls immediately. So toxins can be eliminated from the body very quickly and much more efficiently, giving us cellular hydration! Hello slowed aging. Cool right! Now because every region has varying tap water qualities, a pre-filter to the K8 machine is recommended in providing the highest quality possible. You should definitely be researching your water quality/content over on www.ionfaucet.com there you can get an accurate water evaluation for free. I know this is a lot to wrap your brain around so if you have any questions at all feel free to email me and I will gladly answer your questions. This is just a small introduction to this miracle machine. Kangen Water, also increases immunity and supports digestion elimination, is high in antioxidants, promotes better sleep weight loss, and youthful energy. I could literally go on for several pages but I will leave you with this for now. Think before you drink friends!
