Here's more on today's walk:
Guess I should have come here before commenting on the other blog as it appears you have already found many of the awes tools on MyPlate! Your water in take is off the charts, and that's muy awes, congrats!! One question, what is Kangen water?
ReplyDeleteKangen water comes from the machine in our kitchen. It filters the water, and also makes it more alkaline - raising the pH from 7.0 to 9.5. Most of the water I drink either comes from this machine or from the water cooler in the office (Crystal Springs water from Leeds)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this will sound ignorant, but I am too curious not to ask. What is the benefit of raising the alkaline level in the water, and creating a pH score of 9.5? Guess I'm not only curious to hear Violet's sales pitch (sorry, just assuming it was her that got this going for you), and also a follow-up with how it has actually made a difference for you. Thanks Awes!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on another awes day for 151...really starting to come into your own with exercise and eating!!
Violet was actually the second person who mentioned it to me, and there have been others since then, because I am a cancer survivor. There is medical research that is less than unanimously agreed to that cancer cannot live in an alkaline environment, and that we begin our lives as babies in a relatively alkaline state, then gradually become more acidic and prone to disease as we age.
ReplyDeleteI figured worse case it is a placebo and best case they are right, and thus worth a try. I do feel better when I drink it, but that is admittedly an unscientific study.
But there is "the rest of the story" for you.
Appreciate you taking the time to reply, and so quickly too, but I must disagree with one thing you said...that you feeling better when you drink it is an unscientific study. What could be more scientific then actual personal results?! My reason for asking about your experience is that I wanted the best "scientific" results I could get! :)
ReplyDeleteThough it did generate yet another question (and I apologize for my string of questions on this particular subject). The question is, how does it make you feel better? Guess I'm with the program now on the argument that cancer cannot survive in an akaline envirnoment which is a plus given your circumstances, but what does it do for you to make you state that you actually "feel better" when you drink it? Love!
I called it unscientific because I am a sample size of one (not exactly statistically signficiant) and did not attempt to precisely quantify my level of "feeling better".
ReplyDeleteStill, I do enjoy the fact that you value my reaction to this experience.
You ask what it does for me that makes me "feel better". Part of it I'm sure is that I simply drink more water at home because I like the taste better out of the machine than out of the top. LaVerkin water is good quality but is "hard". I don't notice the metallic flavor quite as much when drinking the filtered water. Aside from that, after drinking it, I feel similar to eating salad - "scrubbers". I like that feeling. In the interest of full disclosure, I felt this more a year ago than I do today. I don't know if that is because I am now used to this water and so don't notice it as much, because it's time for a yearly filter change, or both. :)
