"Won't my stomach acid just neutralize the alkalinity?
Many people ask:
“Won’t my stomach acid just neutralize it anyway?”
Or, a similar question:
“Won’t alkaline water throw off my pH balance?”
Digestion is a complicated process, and the answer is…well, complicated…
“Alkaline water”, as in water that has been chemically altered to reach a higher pH, will, over time cause calcium deposits and disrupt your digestive system. The truth is, ANY water can be made alkaline by adding alkaline minerals. But bottled alkaline water cannot be easily absorbed, and the inorganic minerals are either washed through your body or get lodged into your system. (This WILL cause your body’s pH to be thrown off and has some serious long-term side effects!)
If your goal is to make your BODY alkaline, and not your urine, then read on…
Kangen Water is endorsed by the #1 gastroenterologist in the world, Dr. Hiromi Shinya. While it IS alkaline, it is so much more. Electronically Reduced Water (ERW) is, in fact, entirely different from “alkaline water”. Our ionizers do not add inorganic minerals. It is dissociated into alkaline and acidic components.
That means it is separating the minerals that are already in the water. Tap water, which has minerals (among a host of chemicals, some of which are meant to make water alkaline so that it doesn’t rust city pipes), is divided into alkaline and acidic components. The acidic minerals are ushered out of the waste hose (along with other impurities) and the alkaline minerals are ionized (broken down via energy) and retained in the drinking water.
Nothing but energy is added. In a very simplified sense, what our ERW system does is energize and separate. The ideal pH of the stomach is 1.8, so it seems like a logical question that your stomach would simply acidify the water. Stomach acid breaks down food and is made “on-demand”. This means that water when taken on an empty stomach, does not need to be digested and passes through the stomach wall effortlessly.
ERW, because it is broken down, or “ionized” passes through the stomach wall much more quickly than regular water. It does not stimulate the production of stomach acid and therefore does not affect the pH of the stomach at all. Furthermore, because of the energetic separation of water clusters, ERW passes virtually undisturbed into the small intestine where it is able to create an alkaline environment and aid in the digestion process.
According to Dr Hiromi Shinya, developer of the Colonoscopy, NO LIQUID should be taken with the meal as it dilutes stomach acid.
Alkaline Ionized water is no exception. Ideally, it should not be taken at mealtime. “Food should be completely chewed a minimum of 32 times for proper breakdown of proteins. This stimulates the digestion process and aids in creating the stomach acid and bile needed to keep the entire system working at its optimum pH levels.”
According to Dr. Shinya. Your body is a system of checks and balances, having different pH levels in different parts of your body. The less your body has to fight off toxins and free radicals, the more easily it can stay in balance. ERW, because it hydrates so effectively, aids greatly in digestion and elimination since the breakdown and elimination of food and bodily waste is dependent on proper hydration.
Ionized, alkaline water, (ERW) is energetically charged and full of active hydrogen – meaning the water moves more efficiently in the body. It does not need to be digested and simply passes right through the stomach wall. Therefore, it does not affect the pH of the stomach at all.
Alkaline ionized water should be consumed approximately 30 minutes prior to a meal and approximately 1 hour after. This allows for proper acid production and the chemical breakdown of food. An adequate amount of hydration and antioxidants are needed for effective nutrient assimilation and waste removal.
Drinking hydrogen-rich, alkalized ionized water can immediately release massive amounts of antioxidants rapidly into the bloodstream and help flush the lymphatic system, encouraging the body to assimilate nutrients, eradicate toxins and keep the elimination pathways running smoothly.
