Hair Care, The Natural Way!

Posted on November 4, 2010 by editor

There are few things better than a nice, relaxing shower to brighten your morning or wash away the stress of the day.

The Enagic® ANESPA, home spa system is the perfect addition to your bathroom. The ANESPA unit removes chlorine from your shower or bath water and its dual cartridge system contains therapeutic ingredients that have a relaxing hot spring effect! Pure genius.

Did you know that your skin is the largest organ of your body? While research is still being done to test just how much our skin absorbs, we should take caution when choosing what to apply on our skin and scalp. A recent study by the Environmental Working Group found 16 chemicals typically found in cosmetics and body care products present in blood and urine samples of twenty girls.¹

You’ve chosen Kangen Water® because you know that it is what’s best for you internally. Now it is time to consider what is best externally.

The shower is a great place to escape, but it’s hard to relax when you realize how many chemicals you are pouring over your body, from the soap to the shampoo.

According to Jacqueline Krohn, M.D., “Once a chemical has penetrated the stratum corneum (the most superficial layer of skin), it moves through the epidermis and into the dermis. Then the rich blood supply of the dermis readily transports the chemical into the bloodstream.”²

The good news!

Here at Enagic® we care about what goes on the outside as much as we do the inside. So we’ve provided a great “recipe” for homemade, all natural shampoo – featuring Beauty Water. And because you get to choose which essential oil and which herbs to add, your scent will be unique. No longer limited by what is found in the beauty section of the drug store what will your signature scent be?

Basic Shampoo

2 tablespoons liquid castile soap (Dr. Bronner’s)
1 cup Beauty Water
1/4 cup fresh herbs (2 tablespoons dried)
1 teaspoon almond or apricot kernel oil
2 drops of essential oil

Place herbs in a clean glass jar with a lid.
Pour Beauty Water over herbs and let steep overnight.
Strain the liquid from the herbs.
Add the castile soap and almond or apricot oil.
Mix thoroughly.
Add essential oil and mix again.
Pour into recycled shampoo bottle.

You can also spritz the Beauty Water on your hair as conditioner. It helps detangle and reveal natural shine!

Enjoy your shower, knowing that you are doing what’s best for your body, inside and out!

Stop and Think…

Are you proud to be an Independent Distributor? Have you stopped to realize the impact of what you do on a daily basis?

“No man is an island.” – John Donne

Each individual is connected as part of a bigger community.
The home. The neighborhood. The town. Each is a community in and of itself while also being part of a larger community. What you do to affect each aspect contributes to the entirety of your larger community.

As an independent distributor you do so much more than provide a simple glass of water to your friends and family. You bring an awareness of health and a consciousness of family to your greater community. You deliver the challenge and ability to be better and live better. When a community is able to share a common desire, like a healthy lifestyle, they are stronger and more connected.

Keep sharing the truth of total wellness found in Kangen Water® with your friends, family, and the people you meet around town. Feel proud knowing that you are serving your community well.

“For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people’s love and concern for each other.”
–Millard Fuller, Founder of Habitat for Humanity.

Back To School

“Over my thirty years in pediatric practice, I have noticed a striking connection between how children are fed and how healthy they are. Mothers who consistently don’t allow any unhealthy food to pollute the minds and bodies of their children seem to have healthier children. I have noticed that these children are sick less often and when they do come for periodic checkups they seem more settled and better behaved. These “pure children” seem to get tagged with fewer labels, such as “ADD” or “learning disabilities.” Even when these children do warrant such tags, they seem to cope better with behavioral and learning differences, and they seem less severe. These moms have made a believer out of me. I truly believe that there is a connection between how kids are fed and how they act and learn.”¹
- Dr. Sears

There is no more concrete way to say it. The effort that you make regarding smart food choices directly affects your child’s success, personality, and health. Why, when you’ve seen its benefits, would you choose anything less than clean, healthy Kangen Water®?

Living a healthy life offers your child the chance to stay alert and connected at school. Each day should start with a good, healthy breakfast. This will supply you and your children with the “fuel” needed to be attentive and focused throughout the morning. In a rush? A homemade smoothie is an exciting and healthy option!

“If you don’t refuel your child’s body in the morning after an overnight fast, the child has to draw fuel from its own energy stores until lunchtime. The stress hormones necessary to mobilize these energy reserves may leave the child feeling irritable, tired, and unable to learn or behave well. If you want your child to rise and shine rather than limp along sluggishly at school all morning, make sure your child’s day gets off to a nutritious start.”²
- Dr. Sears

Every day you have the opportunity to pack the school lunchbox with a sugar-filled drink (juice, soda, flavored milk) or healthy water. Keep your child in style by letting him choose his favorite reusable water container. Involve him in the process and he will be proud to bring his Kangen Water® and excited to share the knowledge of Kangen Water® with others during lunch.

Keep your child hydrated and healthy for a productive day at school.

“Parental involvement predicts children’s academic success more than any other family characteristic such as parental education, income, family size or marital status.”³

Summer Waste

Posted on August 27, 2010 by editor

In the summer we enjoy many of nature’s wonderful gifts; beautiful parks, singing birds, blooming flowers and sandy beaches. How will your summer choices affect the environment you enjoy?

Drinking even one bottle of water each day of the summer can have a negative impact on your body and the environment. More than half of bottled water comes from municipal sources and may contain toxins that have leached from the plastic bottle. When bottled water is purified, everything is stripped from the water, including beneficial minerals and nutrients. When you choose to drink bottled water rather than Kangen Water®, you are denying your body natural antioxidant power, beneficial nutrients, and complete hydration.

Did you know the production of a plastic water bottle uses 7 times as much water as the bottle holds? For every pint of bottled water you drink, 7 pints of water were used, polluted, and returned to our earth. If you use just one plastic bottle water each day of the summer you will have consumed 70 or more bottles. This means that 490 pints, or 61 gallons of water, will have been wasted and polluted.

Remember your reusable container this summer and prevent excess waste in your body and the planet. Bring extra bottles of refreshing Kangen Water® for your friends and neighbors to promote healthy habits all around!

Warning Signs of Dehydration

Posted on July 24, 2010 by editor

Dehydration is far too common, given how preventable it is. Dehydration occurs when we put out more water than we take in. This happens often in the summer when we are spending more time in outdoor activities. With clean, healthy, great tasting Kangen Water® you can enjoy staying properly hydrated all summer.

We lose water through our breath, sweat, and urine throughout the day. Sweating is our body’s natural cooling mechanism but when we fail to replace the water lost through sweating, our body cannot perform at optimal level. This is why it is important to be very attentive to your water intake levels during these hot summer months.

By the time you feel thirsty you may be already dehydrated. It is important to be aware of the early signs of dehydration, such as:

Headaches
Dry, sticky mouth.
Feeling lightheaded
Producing less urine or dark urine.
Lack of energy or alertness

The best plan is Pre-Hydration! Dehydration occurs over time so prevent it altogether by drinking plenty of good, clean water throughout the day. If you know you will be playing in the sun or exercising more than usual, plan accordingly and bring extra Kangen Water®.

Do you hate the idea of buying bottled water or drinking tap water from public fountains? If you freeze a few reusable water containers with Kangen Water® you’ll be sure to have nice, cool, refreshing water by the end of your day. (Remember not to fill your bottle too high – water expands when frozen.) You could also make your own ice cubes by mixing Kangen Water® and fruit juice!

Bringing along extra bottles prevents unnecessary contaminants or pollutants, often present in bottled and tap water, from entering your body. It is also a great way to share Kangen Water® with your friends and family!
