I spent most of childhood dreading winter with the same dread a cat has for water. If anyone knows anything about cats and water, they will understand that a cat will do everything in its power not to get wet. As a child, I would do everything possible not to live winter in Quebec. It came to the point that my parents had to force me out of my bedroom, put my winter suit on, and push me outdoors so that I would leave the house and join the other kids in the snow. After ten minutes I usually sneaked right back into the warmth of my parent’s house.

Today as I face another winter, I have become somewhat better at escaping the cold and the lack of sunlight. It has taken a few years for me to create my winter therapy, but here it is for those interested.

1) Fresh orange juice every morning. Sounds cheesy, but works miracles to kill early morning winter blues. Rather than down a coffee which will leave you tired late afternoon, I like to make a fresh orange juice that gives me a lot of that vitamin C needed to boost my immune system. My secret? I mix it with Kangen water to make it six times more efficient!

2) Light therapy. They cost anything from 100-500$, but when you plug those light therapy bulbs in front of your face, something amazing happens. During the winter days, melatonin levels are increased, creating more fatigue and sluggishness. Light therapy will balance out our melatonin levels, relieving those winter blues quicker. After a 30 minute morning session, I feel ready to tackle any outdoor event, even shoveling.

3) Long walks. Most people tend to hibernate during the winter, thus forcing their bodies to stagnant and accumulate fat. Taking long walks outside will oxygenate our brains and activate blood circulation, helping our bodies stay alert and in shape during the cold season. I like to take long winter walks in the morning, before work, that way I have a more productive day afterwards.

4) Dive into old hobbies. During the warmer days of the year, we tend more to divert ourselves with a social life and an outdoor life. Why not take the time during the colder days to dive back into our old hobbies, like painting, drawing, yoga classes, or a reading club? It’s the perfect opportunity to stimulate our creative hemispheres all the while allowing ourselves to step out of our caves into a social environment.

After my fresh orange juice, 30 minutes of light therapy, and long walk, I finally feel like I can survive the long winter day ahead of me, all the while maintaining a healthy mind, body, and spirit. When my friends see me, they blink and wonder what magic bubble I am spending winter in… and I smile.

I have recently run into an exceptional water device called the SD 501 Leveluk created by the Japanese thirty years ago. I have always been a really healthy person, eating organic food, drinking green tea, working out a lot, and of course drinking a lot of water. Recent studies are showing that dehydration is the cause of most diseases, even down to cancer. Shocking as it is, it makes sense: we are born 90% water, one year later we are 70% water, and by the time we are older, our bodies contain 50% water.

I started drinking Kangen water simply because I found it tasted good, much better than bottled water or tap water, and because I wanted to see if it was really magical as some claimed.  Miracle after miracle happened to me once I started drinking it. Curious, I started to read about Kangen water and found that this water had three distinct properties that other waters did not have: it was antioxidant; it was hexagonal; and it was alcaline. After some research, I discovered that drinking Kangen water was three-eight times more antioxidant than green tea and that was why my immune system had become so much more resistant to sickness and allergies.

Then I found out what hexagonal meant. Kangen water has a water molecule that is much smaller than normal water. This means that it can enter the cell better, eliminating toxins quicker and hydrating our bodies faster. When a molecule is smaller, it is better absorbed by our bodies. MJ Pangman’s book called “Hexagonal Water: The Ultimate Solution” speaks about how drinking hexagonal water can help so many health problems, such as diabetes, asthma, allergies, colon dysfunction, and the list goes on.

The last property of Kangen water is its alcalinity. When the body is acidic, all sorts of diseases (including cancer) can form, but when it is properly balanced and slightly alcaline, health is obtained. By drinking alcaline water, I found that I slept better and was a lot less stressed-out by the daily humdrum around me. What was shocking to discover was that most water on the market is acidic, and that tap water is PH neutral only due to the chemicals water plants put in it.

Why do I call Kangen water “magic water”? Simply because it did what no medicine or drug or herb has been able to do for me. It put a stop to many food allergies I had since I was young, allowed me to sleep better, and brought my energy level way up. Furthermore, Kangen water does something no other water does: it opens your heart chakra! As crazy as this sounds, once you begin drinking Kangen water, do not be surprised if love comes knocking on your door. I invite you to try this magic water for yourself instead of taking my word for it.
