Ever wondered why the Japanese are one of the world's healthiest people today (and they look oh, so awesomely good too, don't they? )? Two words: Magnetic & Alkaline. Or, to be more precise, magnetic therapy and alkaline water.

Below are two extracts about a renowned Japanese who has spent over 40 years in the medical field and 20 years studying magnetic therapy.

"Kyoichi Nakagawa (http://web.singnet.com.sg/~kokfai/nakagawa.htm), M.D., Director of the Isuzu hospital in Tokyo, Japan, believes that the time people spend in buildings and cars reduces their exposure to natural geomagnetic fields of the earth, and may interfere with their health. He calls the condition that they subsequently must suffer from, magnetic field deficiency syndrome, which, he says, can cause headaches, dizziness, muscle stiffness, chest pain, insomnia, constipation, and general fatigue."

"During 1958 we, as part of the research on "Magnetism and Living Bodies", published the results of tests conducted to relieve stiffness of the shoulders. A reasonably high rate of success was achieved by having participants wear ferrite permanent magnet bands in the form of bracelets. The details of the tests were reported to the first symposium, Fujimoto also reported finding the same magnetic bracelet effective in treating stiffness of the shoulders. Furthermore, Kimura et al. reported that by using two types of magnetic bracelets having surface flux densities of 470 gauss, improvement of subjective symptoms but no change in blood serum fat, blood serum protein and their fractions were noticed. Also, Nambu et al. under the guidance of Kimura, by having 1,163 magnetic bracelets and for comparison 644 non-magnetized bracelets worn to treat stiffness of the shoulders, found a considerable difference between the two groups. Using hospitalized patients we also tested foam rubber mattresses containing ferrite permanent magnets, reporting that improvement of subjective symptoms but no change in clinical tests was found. Tomizuka et al., also reported finding magnetic fields effective in treating various diseases."

Japan is extremely advanced in terms of magnetic technology today. It has become a daily necessity for them to constantly expose themselves to magnetism. To add on, this therapy has the capabilities to regulate blood circulation and force cholesterol out of the human body as excess waste. Many major diseases such as heart disease, kidney failure, stroke are effects of the obstruction of the blood circulation by the large amount of cholesterol we take in everyday.

Fun fact: Our body needs a minimum requirement of 1500mg of cholesterol each day. However, our body already produces around 1200mg of that substance daily. So, by consuming just an egg yolk, which happens to be about 266mg (nearly 300mg), will suffice for the day's food intake. Still want that egg to go along with your chicken chop? Lol XD~!

Another cause for the Japanese's incredible health status might be the water they drink.

"Microwater first came to notice in Japan, where researchers noted that people drinking water that came from certain fast-moving rocky mountain streams enjoyed extraordinarily good health. It turned out that this naturally occurring water was alkaline and had a different structure and electrical properties." Larry Clapp, PhD. in "Prostate Health in 90 Days"

"Research in Japan since the 1950's and testimonials indicate the following conditions have been improved from drinking alkaline ion water

. Arthritis
. Heartburn
. Chronic fatigue
. Indigestion
. Leg cramps
. High blood pressure
. Poor circulation
. Migraines
. Nausea
. Obesity
. Osteoporeosis
. Psoriasis
. Stress

No disease can exist in an alkaline environment. Japanese medicine has proven this over the last 15 years. The AZ Antioxidant Water Fountain can restore proper alkaline pH within weeks.

- Alkaline Antioxidant Water boils faster
- Alkaline Antioxidant Water extracts a greater amount of tea from tea leaves when brewing.
- Vegetables cooked in Alkaline Antioxidant Water retain their shape and rice is fluffier.
- Acid foods are made more alkaline.
- In Japan, Alkaline Antioxidant Water is known as a "hangover cure.
It...
- Flushes toxins
- Disarms Free Radicals
- Restores alkalinity in your body
- Increases stable oxygen in your body
- Enhances delivery of nutrients"

Yup, that is indeed, what our bodies need. Our food - both veggies and meat have been chemicalized to such an extent that we are unable to avoid practically inviting pollutants into our system. Animals are being injected with quick-growth chemicals and plants are being sprayed with insecticides/pesticides. But for hustling and bustling societies like ours, it is quite impossible to find time to go out of our way to prevent this phenomenon from occuring, which is why nations like Japan have came out with various ways and means to not only prolong the lifespan of humans, but also extend the limits of our natural comfort.

Fun fact: People are the healthiest when they are born. Try testing the saliva of a baby with a piece of litmus paper and use another piece on the saliva of a teenager/adult. Guess which one will turn blue?

If anyone else knows of any other causes and effects pertaining to how the Japanese can stay so healthy, this is your thread to post in ^_^

P.S. this thread is open to any prior queries, as well.
