Water is everywhere. We are 75% water and 94% of our blood is water. And surely we all know that it’s important to consume 2 liters of water every day to help our bodies function well and stay healthy.
But what is the best water to drink? Because filtered water is not the same as tap water for example, so it’s a topic worth debating to choose only what is best for our health.
What is Kangen water?
At its most basic level, Kangen water is hydrogen water. The business that created it, Enagic (a Japanese company), creates a device that takes regular tap water, filters away pollutants, and then electrolyzes the water to separate the hydrogen and oxygen.
“Alkaline, antioxidant, mineral-rich, pure, safe, and healthy drinking water” is the end product.
ApThatachine produces Kangen water that is easier to absorb than other waters because the clusters are smaller. This helps cleanse the body while giving balance to the immune system. Kangen water is also said to burn fat and fight the effects of aging. Many people report that daily use of this water also helps the digestive system.
The Kangen Water Machine firm, Enagic, developed this patent-pending water product in 1974, and it quickly gained worldwide acclaim. Medical-grade water ionizers are used by the company to restructure regular tap water into various pH water. Kangen water has a pH of 11.5 and is available.
For more than 30 years, hospitals and clinics in Japan have used alkaline, filtered, ionized, hexagonally restructured water (also known as Kangen water) to treat a variety of illnesses.
That water generator removes impurities and chlorine from tap water. It electrolyzes the water and charges it with high amounts of antioxidants. That’s how highly alkaline water becomes! Doctors also say that alkaline water has its advantages, as it is a hydrogen-rich, electrolytically reduced water, and there are benefits to this type of process.
What is the difference between Kangen water and alkaline water?
Alkaline water and kangen water are the same things.
The term Kangen means ‘back to basics’ in Japanese and comes from Japanese mythology. Alkaline water, whether you call it Kangen water or not, gets its health benefits from mineral hydrates.
What is Kangen water good for?
It is said to help cleanse the body while providing balance to the immune system. Kangen water also burns fat and fights the effects of aging. Many people report that daily use of this water also helps the digestive system.
Is it good for you to drink Kangen water?
Alkaline water has a higher pH level than plain tap water. So proponents say it can neutralize the acid in the blood. Some say alkaline water can help prevent diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
Is Kangen FDA approved?
There are many ionizers on the market, but Enagic’s Kangen is the only one known to be a medical device. It has been approved by the FDA for therapeutic use. This distinction means that it is not just a “water ionizer”, but rather a “medical device”. It can be prescribed by doctors and used in hospitals.
Is Kangen water chemical-free?
Yes, it is completely natural, without chemicals. The machines that produce this water are natural and do not use water-altering additives and FDA-approved high-quality plastics. Kangen water ionizers use sodium hypochlorite, a common ingredient found in bleach.
How much Kangen water should I drink per day?
To reap the most rewards, it is advised that you consume eight to twelve glasses (or two to three liters) of alkaline water each day. So, the advised minimum daily water intake is 2 liters, just like normal water consumption. Making the changeover abruptly is not advised; instead, ease into it by alternating between drinking regular water and alkaline water as you adjust to the pH changes in your body.
What does Kangen water taste like?
It seems you can taste the difference from the first sip. Unlike the often acidic or ‘strong’ taste of tap water, Kangen water has a lighter taste and even a slightly sweet aroma.

So, Kangen water has good reviews and if you can drink it, it is preferable. However, if you want to drink the healthiest water, you can start by choosing filtered water or reverse osmosis water as often as possible. You can also invest in a water filter – whichever one fits your budget. The safer we can make the water, the better – which means any filtration is better than none.
And then, to see the effects and changes before and after drinking this water, it is good to do a biofeedback session. This will identify the water levels in the body as well as any problems that may arise from a lack of it.
The special quantum biofeedback devices, NUCLEUS and ED-X are used for pre-diagnosis and therapy, so it is recommended to have a session before you start using Kangen water, and more afterward, to see the progress and benefits of this alkaline water on your body.
