On the airplane during the safety presentation they tell you to put the oxygen mask on yourself before helping your child, right? And it makes sense, because if you can’t breathe to think or continue living, how can you help anyone else?

And just like Christ said to love others as you love yourself, you can’t love others until you love yourself FIRST.  So we want to focus on self-comfort, self-help, and self-healing that is NOT selfish at all, because it replenishes us so that we can give to others.

If you’re not made of 70% water or more, raise your hand.

I can’t see who isn’t raising their hands, but you are a liar if you did. I mean, some of your parts, like your bones, are less watery than others, but most tissues are made of squishy, watery, sloshy stuff.

Right now, white refined sugar and toxic artificial sweeteners are being consumed 30 times more than just 2 generations ago (thanks Tony Robbins for the info). Sugar is acid, and it, and other toxins create an anaerobic environment, which enhances the growth of cancer and diseases. If you are overweight, you are storing acids in fat because the body put acidic waste there to keep it out of the blood stream and keep homeostasis.

The same is true for pesticides and chemicals in our environment. We consume more today than ever before and the FDA actually INCREASES the allowable amount of toxins like Atrazine (Roundup) that they allow. And no one believes that our water will be cleaner tomorrow than it is today. Or next year even, or maybe even in 10 years from now.

To get ourselves healthy, we need to see that our environment is harming us.

We need to step away from the broken mental health and medical system that can only use the two tools they have; surgery or drugs, to treat what they give us a label / diagnosis for.

Taking control of 70% of the content of your body is the best way to improve your health today.

No other action step you take will account for a change in such a huge percentage of your total being.

That’s what I did. I took control of the largest element in my body after a tremor started that affected my whole body. The tremor, on top of my anxiety, made everything seem extra scary. But the medical process of trying to find out what was ‘wrong’ with me created side effects that almost took my life, unnecessary mental stress, and unanswered questions with only more expensive tests to rule out what the problem WASN’T.

The process was not OK with me.

And so I learned about how to help my chronically obese, stressed, and sickly body.

I learned that the body wants to be slightly alkaline in ph balance, so it will rob the body of electrolytes / nutrients like calcium, potassium, magnesium, and sodium in order to neutralize the acidic waste we are taking in daily. To do this, the body is stealing negative electrons from these electrolyte nutrients to neutralize the positively charged acids from sugar, food and toxins. Alkalizing water can help the body restore balance by providing an alkaline environment and giving the body electrons from antioxidants IN THE WATER YOU DRINK to neutralize acids.

Drink half of your body weight in ounces each day to thoroughly hydrate all cells and tissues. This is the optimal hydration level for the body.

Now, my own story is frickin’ amazeballs. But there are other stories that will blow your mind.

I didn’t even buy the Enagic Kangen water technology to lose weight, but I quickly and easily dropped more than 8 pounds in under two weeks JUST BY DRINKING DIFFERENT WATER. No really. I hate working out. I’m lazy. I hate diets. I love bacon and cheese and cream in my coffee. THEN I kept drinking water and lost more than 20 pounds in under 2 months and SMASHED a weight plateau that has plagued me my whole adult life. I’m 47 as I write this.

My entire adult life has been in obesity and chronic, ill health. Can you imagine what it felt like to see that smaller number on the scale? To know how EASY it was to lose that weight? To be AMAZED and PSYCHED to SHARE this with others?

I am now, and my former husband has verified, at a pre-1996 weight. Pre-grad school weight. College weight, getting close to my HIGH SCHOOL WEIGHT by just DRINKING WATER!

AND there are WAY more benefits that I have received from my most cherished Kangen water, but I’ll save those for another time.

I mean, could YOU shut up about it?
