Kangen Water and kids
“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

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
Kangen Water and lunch
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
