The Miracle Of Alkaline Water Isn't Just In The Water - It's In The Community

Another small step toward an all alkaline water community!

It's been a little while since I last updated. Things have been very busy over here at Chanson Alkaline Water, to say the least! We've been busy livng out our favorite topic, alkaline water machines, and we've also been ungergoing major changes in our corporate office; we added a brand new warehouse. Being busy is good. Sometimes it's a little like getting exercise but without all the formality of going to the gym.

Today's post is interesting to me because it really does illustrate the healing power of both naturally alkaline rich foods combined with alkaline water. This testimony comes from one of our happy alkaline water machine drinkers. I hope you'll enjoy reading this as much as I did.

"Dear Nedalee,

It was so good to meet you this weekend. I still remember the look on your face when you saw that I was drinking bottled alkaline water. It's pretty amazing to me that something so simple can connect people together in such profound ways.

I want you to know that shortly after that weekend I found out that a good friend of mine has one of your Chanson Water Alkanizers. It was one of those things where you just sorta think to yourself...OK, this isn't a coincidence. I was pretty curious about your water by now, so I "borrowed" 3 gallons from her water machine.

Well...wow. The first thing I noticed was the total difference in taste between the bottled alkanized water I was buying from the store and the taste of the water in my
glass. Now several months later I look back and without a doubt it was the taste that hooked me. But I'm getting ahead of myself in this story, so let me back up. For the next month I hit my neighbor's whole house filter up for a gallon of water daily...and some to cook with...some to wash my fruits & veggies...and after I found out about the benefits of acid water, some of that too. I will admit that I was impressed at first that my good fortune was free of charge. I guess for some of us it takes a little community outreach to get the gospel of alkaline spread! I jokingly refer to my ionized water as 'My consant flowing living water stream' and I call the acid water 'My free beauty makeover'. Please forgive me, I'm getting to the point, I promise.

Within about a month of switching from the bottled alkaline water to your Chanson alkaline water I noticed that a burning I often have inside my stomach was greatly reduced. I didn't pay close attention to this really. I figured it was probably also because I had recently cut from my diet both sugar and white bread and started eating more green things, and I'm sure that's part of it...but then I started doing some research on the difference between the water I was buying from the store and the stuff I was siphoning from my neighbor. I don't pretend to understand structure and molecules and all the scientific facts about this water...the thing that stuck out to me is how ionized water can actually lose its molecular structure (yes I had to spell check that!)

I would like to write more about how your alkaline water has improved my mind and started my quest for more knowledge about diet and water...that is if you won't be too imposed by my excitement.

I know my journey has just begun. And I know it's not going to be easy switching from my junk food diet to a more healing foods type of diet.

Your new alkaline convert,
Tracy Gomez"

Thank you so much Tracy for that inspiring email. Please feel free to write as much as you want. I am always so happy to hear from people like you who see the power in making small changes to their diet.

In my next post I'll be talking about trading refined sugar loaded foods ...







...for something just as pretty but a lot easier on the digestive system

I receive a lot of emails from people concerned that they just can't make the number of drastic changes required to regain or improve health. My response is always the same. I just tell these people that change takes time. Start with small changes, adding in a few healing foods here and there. Feel the difference the small changes can make and focus on the small victories. Drink your alkaline water daily. And remember, alkaline water benefits come from fresh alkaline water straight from you tap. The fresher the alkaline water the batter. If you don't have a whole house water filter or even a below the counter water ionizer and you want to try this amazing water, reach out to your community. Or just drop by our coporate office if you're in the area and grab a few gallons. We promise you the taste of our Chanson Alkaline Water cannot be compared!

Eating For a Healthy Skin

Your beautiful skin is the biggest organ in your body. You can really help it to breathe with plenty of alkaline water, with nothing added. Just pure ionized antioxidant goodness.

I hate to admit this, but it wasn't until recently, oh 7 years ago or so until I realized that skin is the biggest organ in the body. If you didn't know...it's okay. You're not alone. When most people think about the body's organ systems, the skin does not readily come to mind. However, the skin is the body's largest organ. It is the protector of all of the internal functions that occur. When things are not right in the inside, the skin is the first place they manifest themselves. As the protector of the human body, it is important to take care of it so that it can accomplish its job. Like for any other organ system, adequate protection for the skin starts from the inside. Thus, there are a number of foods for healthy skin that we need to consume.


This probably isn't a revelation to a lot of people but so often we just need a gentle reminder that the primary substance we should be ingesting for healthy skin is water. The general rule of thumb that applies to a healthy body is simple: drink half of an ounce for every .lb of body weight. Water - although not officially a food, it is necessary for proper tissue function and your body demands to be watered properly. People who don't drink enough water often suffer from dehydration and may have excessively dry skin and overal lower daily performace. Water is life. Pure and simple. Drink enough of the right kind of water. The right kind of water is like a natural makeup kit with Hydrated skin often has a glow to it as well, and healthy hydrated skin . This is likely because water drinkers don't often drink too many sugary substances, which damage the skin. Alkaline ionized water is 6 times more hydrating than normal bottled or tap water. It has powerful anti-oxidant properties and prevents the skin from free radical damage. A water ionizer therefore; may be prove to be a sound investment. Consuming alkaline ionized water does you skin a world of good. Without water, the skin cells cannot regenerate.


Foods rich in vitamin A help the blood and skin. Carotenoids, which the body converts to vitamin A, act as natural protectors for the skin. Foods rich in vitamin A include carrots, pumpkins, potatoes, squash, mangos, greens, and cantaloupe.


Vitamin C is another food for healthy skin. Because of the benefits of vitamin C to the skin, many topical lotions are not infused with extracts of the antioxidant. However, the best way to get vitamin C is in the diet. In addition to citrus fruits, sources of vitamin C include strawberries, kiwis, tomato juice, broccoli and kale.


Foods containing vitamin E also promote healthy skin. Vitamin E has properties that serve as skin conditioners. This vitamin can be found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, olives, spinach and asparagus. Because it is hard to get this particular vitamin in food, an additional supplement may be necessary.


Tea is another substance that can promote healthy skin, particularly green tea. Tea contains antioxidants and phytonutrients that fight acne. It is also a healthy way to maintain hydration in the skin. There is still a debate over how much tea per day to drink, but at least two cups support healthy skin.


Overall, a diet rich in whole, organic foods is good for the skin. Because they don't contain pesticides or additives, they benefit the entire skin. It is important to avoid processed foods as much as possible so as not to negate the benefits of a healthy diet.

Naringenin Found in Grapefruit Prevents Obesity, Blocks Insulin Resistance

Alkalizing fruits just happen to have the potential to slow obesity and diabetes down

A substance in grapefruit just may prove to be the key to reversing acidity that leads to obesity and diabetes.


The substance, a flavonoid called "naringenin," is a naturally occurring alkaline compound in all citrus fruit, but especially in grapefruit. Naringenin is responsible for giving grapefruit its bitter taste. Naringenin, found naturally in grapefruit, detoxifies the liver and causes fat to be released instead of storing it.

Naringenin, for all its potential to heal, leaves a little to be desired on the palette. So we're going to give you a few tips to make grapefruit more appealing.

Add some blue agave sweetener, but not a lot. Just enough to buffer the bitter.

Add some warmed up raw honey to your grapefruit; pour it right on the naked fruit. Don't warm the honey until it's hot, but warm it up just enough so that it drips nicely over the fruit.

Its all about the Diet

There are three ways to alkalize the body for optimum health. Diet alone, alkaline water alone or diet and alkaline water.

My friend Jill was depressed, over weight and unhealthy. About 10 years ago she decided to radically transform her life. She started to exercise by walking on a tread mill. She became a vegan, which means she cut out all animal products from her diet including, milk, eggs, butter and honey. Jill lost 100 pounds in a short amount of time. She had just lost the weight right before I met her so I'm not exactly sure how long it took to lose it but it was less than a year.

She ate lots of salads and avocados which are very alkalizing. She would also eat things like french fries which are not healthy or alkalizing but over all she ate more good foods than bad. It was intresting to go out to eat with her because she always had to ask the waiter lots of questions about what was in a dish and what it was cooked in and things like that. She was always polite and always had an idea of what she could eat at most places. I remember how betrayed she felt when she found out that McDonalds put beef products in their french fries. Jill didn't know anything about alkaline ionized water, so she is a perfect example of someone who changed their life by alkalizing there body through diet with wonderful results. She is now happy, healthy and fit.
