• We are more than 70% water. Hydrating ourselves well is essential in life in general and, especially, in recovery processes. 

• All the water we usually drink can inflame and oxidise us. With alkaline water rich in molecular hydrogen, the process is reversed. 

• It is the most powerful positive habit that I have incorporated in an easier way, because water is a daily drink. And for my recovery it is a key factor.

We are more than 70% water. That is why it is essential to hydrate ourselves very well both in life in general and, especially, when the body recquires all the energy and nutrients it needs to recover from an injury or illness.

Contrary to what most people believe, “Hydrating well” is not just about drinking the right amount of water, and drinking uncontaminated water. This is a bare minimum, of course.  It is about drinking the best possible water for our bodies.

I have been studying this subject for quite some time, and it is clear to me. The best possible water we can drink is KANGEN water… alkalised and enriched with molecular hydrogen. It is prepared with ENAGIC domestic machines, which are the only ones that have all the guarantees and certifications at medical level, and ensure the highest quality, properties and no problems with water ionization plates, being made of solid titanium coated with platinum.

All the waters we usually drink are oxidising and often in excess of what the body can compensate for without the need to take antioxidants; and this should not be the norm. They are highly treated waters, usually well decontaminated, but literally “dead”, and do not provide us with the quality hydration we need.  Normal tap water has chlorine and leftover materials from the pipes. Bottled water has no special positive properties, and also accumulates micro and nanoplastics. Osmosis water is dead water, which has first been distilled and chemically enriched with mineral salts, so that it does not have any side effects on the cardio-circulatory system.

Our body needs mineral salts for its omiostatic balance. However, low mineralisation water is often recommended, because the intake of “dead” water (the normal water we drink) means that our body has to work very hard to activate these minerals and make them ionised, i.e. really bioavailable to our organism.

With KANGEN water, I use tap water with the highest level of natural filtration to avoid all contaminants, and then through a process of ionisation (also totally natural), it is enriched with molecular hydrogen (a very powerful anti-oxidant), and the mineral salts become bioavailable to the body.

This results in water with the highest level of antioxidation and anti-inflammation. Furthermore, hydrogen is the smallest particle in the universe, and penetrates all parts of the body, including cell membranes. And with it, it transports nutrients and effective hydration perfectly to all organs, bones and tissues.

I have been incorporating this hydration as a fundamental part of my lifestyle for a year now. And this alone facilitates my recovery process, as it has helped me to have my microbiota at its best, my immune system boosted, and my inflammatory and oxidative process very controlled.

But now, in my specific recovery, it is even more important. Because the body is especially stressed by a serious trauma, and with alkalised water rich in molecular hydrogen you get several benefits:

• Naturally accelerates the metabolism, optimising the body’s own general healing capacity.
• Boosts bone consolidation due to the presence of bioavailable calcium in ionised form (for its assimilation, it is important to sunbathe – in moderation – for Vitamin D).
• More vital energy available to the body.
• Increased availability and penetration of mineral salts and bioavailable nutrients (facilitates digestion and assimilation).
• Boosts the anti-inflammatory process.
• Stimulates and reactivates “Glutathione”, the body’s natural antioxidant system.

Logically, apart from drinking this water, we should stop drinking or minimise as much as possible any other processed liquids which, in the best of cases, do not provide us with the hydration we need, and in the most common cases, are directly harmful… Whenever we can, no sugary or chemical drinks, no fruit juices (especially all bottled ones), no milk and no alcohol. Or at least, any of these drinks should be an occasional exception, never a habit of hydration.

As I always say, all this is my opinion, without being a health professional, and based on my own studies and being guided by experts in the field. Specifically on hydration, I am advised by Dr. Anna Schembari (www.annaschembari.com).

I don’t know if you can notice, but I’m a mega fan of ENAGIC KANGEN water. It is one of the most powerful positive habits that I have incorporated in my life, in an easier way; because we always drink a minimum of 2 litres of water a day, and it’s just about drinking good water. And in my process of recovering from my fractures, this factor is an essential cornerstone.
