Your body is nearly equivalent to a vehicle.


My father tells me all the time, “Son?... It is very important to take care of your body just as much as we like taking care of our cars.” Sometimes you could drive through a neighborhood on a Saturday afternoon where majority of the community are home, off from their jobs. At times you would see someone washing their cars in the driveway, making sure their vehicles are looking good and shiny. There are other cars in the driveway sitting with the hood popped open and the head of the person is under the hood, pouring fresh motor oil into their engines, making sure their engines run smoothly from day to day. Or someone would be underneath their car with their tools to tighten up any loose bolts, flushing out old oil, transmission fluid etc. Their general purpose is to keep their cars healthy and running at top peak performance for a very long time. Taking care of your ride is Great!  But at the same time, we’re disregarding our very own health.  “Something is wrong when your own car is much more healthier than your very own body.” he would say. My father was sharing some thought provoking wisdom that sticks to me everyday, “It is highly essential to hydrate your body with alkaline water, eat your salads fruits and vegetables, eat meat in moderation without over eating too much of it.” I’ve clarified in my very previous blog entitled ‘Alkaline water allows the body to heal itself’ ; {Alkaline water hydrates the blood and cells much more on a cellular level and replenishes your vital organs on a cellular level.} “Putting fresh Alkaline water in your body is close to putting fresh motor oil in your car. Your body flushes built up old toxins and makes room for fresh alkaline water to take over.” By staying consistent in taking proper care of your body, you will increase your lifespan. 
At times as I drive on the freeway, every now and again I would see a broke down car parked in the emergency lane with hazard lights blinking. “Cars that no longer work are considered a dead car. When the oil hasn’t been changed as well as the transmission fluid, no coolant / anti-freeze, you cannot expect your car to last any longer. Your Body is equivalent to a car. When we don’t eat the right foods, drinking the right liquids, not exercising on a regular basis, chances are our bodies will shut down (dead). Dead broke down cars end up in the junkyard and dead human bodies end up in the graveyard.” The two scenarios made lots of sense. It is important to value your body, your life and your health just as much as you would value your car. 

Some people would say, “Well, looks can be deceiving.” Meaning, your car can look very nice, brilliant shine, clean like a whistle, looking brand spanking new on the exterior. But under the hood’s interior involves a terrible poor functioning engine.Then you have an older vehicle like mine for example, I currently own a  98’ Chevy Malibu. The exterior of the car doesn’t look the best AT ALL. The paint on the hood is fading away, the head lights are foggy and not as bright, the material inside of the car is beginning to hang low in the backseat area of the car. The car is quite old. But under the hood’s interior involves a very healthy functioning engine. My Malibu runs quite well with over 150k miles on the engine. It is my responsibility to make sure my car is given it’s oil change every 3 months and a tune up twice a year. By following those principles, my car will sustain for a very long time. As I drive on the freeway, every once in a while, I’d see a luxury Mercedes Benz stuck on the side of the road with blinking hazard lights, waiting for roadside assistance. I’ve also witnessed a BMW with full blown smoke evading out of the hood. It doesn’t matter what type of car you drive. If you don’t take care of it, it will not take good of you. Same applies to our bodies. Your physique, shape, structure, size and muscular development doesn’t even matter. You can look as slender as a telephone pole and highly debilitated. Or maintain a thick & plump physique and just as healthy as a NBA Basketball Athlete. What you put inside your body is what matters most including exercise. Take care of your body just like you take care of your vehicle.

Alkaline water allows the body to heal itself.


Our bodies contain 60 - 70% water, blood contains 83%-90% water, liver contains 86% water, kidneys contain 83% water, muscles contain 75% water, heart contains 80% water, brain contain 75% water and 22% water for our bones. When we all were newborn babies, our bodies were made of 100% water with healthy blood cells, fresh new bodily organs, muscles, brain etc. Our mothers provided different kinds of milk formulas for physical developmental growth. Over the course of time, our mothers would expose us to sweet drinks like Capri-Sun pouches, Kool-Aid, Minute Maid juice, varieties of sodas etc. Once we’ve became exposed to these sweet beverages mentioned, our vital organs and blood cells become destroyed and acidic. Acidic means unhealthy, rusting and aging. Instead of our organs containing the necessary water that is needed, the acidic sugary liquid overtakes the water in our organs. The water levels within our organs would decrease. The skin on our faces and body would display an image of aging, wrinkling and dryness. Our bodies would dehydrate over the course of time.

Drinking Alkaline water Re-Hydrates the bodily organs back to the way it use to be. The micro-clusters inside of the Alkaline water repairs damaged blood cells and replenishes your bodily organs to give them the proper hydration it needs. Our natural energy levels would increase. NO!!! Alkaline water does not heal the body BUT it allows the body to heal itself. That is one of the reasons why Alkaline water was given the name ‘Kangen’ water. Kangen means; back to origin. Bringing the body back to it’s original intent. I’m so glad I was introduced to Alkaline water. Since drinking 1 gallon of Alkaline water per day, I’ve experience wonderful health benefits. It has been a true blessing in my life and my family’s life as well. I’m not giving these facts to impress you but to impress upon you that Alkaline water is thee best water in the world to drink.

For the Love of Sugar...





So, you like Sugar Huh? Liking Sugar also means you enjoy Diabetes, Yeast, Insomnia, Arthritis, Cancer, Inflammation etc. The health care professionals has made mention that it is fine to eat sugar as long as it is in moderation. They (health care professionals) also mentioned that your body turns all food to glucose regardless of the kind of food eaten, so whether you eat sugar, veggies, or steak is irrelevant. REALLY?!?!!!

It is undeniable that your body alters all foods to glucose. Glucose is a sugar having several different forms, the common dextrorotatory form occurring in many fruits, having a sweetness about one half that of ordinary sugar. Nonetheless, there is an important difference between sugar and those other foods, meats, fruits, and vegetables all have vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids. Sugar carries none of those kind of things to help absorb and digest. As a repercussion, metabolizing refined sugar puts the body at a severe nutritional disadvantage.


A Nutritional disadvantage and health deficiency, including ranked #1 disease killer in America is Cancer. Sugar feeds every cell in our bodies, even cancer cells. Researchers has discovered that eating sugar does not consequently spark to cancer. It’s what sugar does to your waistline that can lead to cancer. “Your body’s cells use sugar to keep your vital organs functioning,” says Clare McKindley, clinical dietitian at MD Anderson’s Cancer Prevention Center. “But too much daily sugar can cause weight gain. And, unhealthy weight gain and a lack of exercise can increase your cancer risks.” This is why it’s so important to read food labels and look for “Hidden Sugars.” Your first clue that a product is high in sugar is if the word “sugar” is listed as the first ingredient. Beware, though. Some sugary foods don’t include “sugar” on the ingredient list. That’s because sugar is often disguised under different names such as: Fructose (natural sugar from fruits), lactose (natural sugar from milk), sucrose (made from fructose and glucose), maltose (sugar made from grain), glucose (simple sugar, product of photosynthesis), dextrose (form of glucose). Natural sugars, like molasses, agave, nectar, honey and maple syrup, carry antioxidants that protect your body from cancer.

If you know of anyone weather it’s family, friends or loved ones who are diagnosed with cancer or other health ailments, I recommend the ‘Healthy Water eBook’ that provides all kinds of great health solutions and benefits. It's Totally Free at; www.AbsoluteWater4theWise.com


Another top nutritional disadvantages is Diabetes. Consuming an excessive amount of sugar will eventually bring about diabetes, type diabetes to be exact. Diabetes is a disease when your body is unable to process the sugar in the blood also known as hyperglycemia (lofty sugar levels in the blood) which can lead to all kinds of illnesses and heart attacks. Diabetes can be caused by the body unable to produce sufficient amounts of insulin (imperative for cells to take in glucose) or you’re taking ample amounts of sugar that your body can’t process enough glucose in your blood.



Arthritis is a serious health deficiency. Sugary food choices may be contributing to the extra pounds stressing your joints and causing pain (arthralgia). Additionally, if you have been diagnosed with gouty arthritis, sugary foods high in purines such as bacon, liver, turkey, or even alcohol may cause a flare up or reactive arthritis (due  to an infection from bacteria in contaminated food). Arthritis is a general term used to describe more than 100 medical conditions with a common theme: They all affect the areas of our bodies where two or more bones meet, known as the joints. A high population found a definite link between the kinds of food they ate (carbohydrates in breads, pastries and more, fatty foods), as well as type of drinks (alcohol, sugary drinks, others) with increased flares of their arthritic or accompanying body symptoms. Some have noticed an improvement (decrease in arthritic symptom flares or occurrences) when consuming a more nutritious and well balanced diet (oily fish such as salmon that contain omega 3 fatty acids, as well as a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains), in addition to drinking healthier beverages such as alkaline water or other non-alcoholic or low-sugar drinks.
