Change Your Water... Change Your Life!
Ionized alkaline
restructured Kangen Wa
ter® can neutralize the acid
in soda, but it will take 33 8
ounce glasses for every 12
ounces of soda.
Do You Drink Soda Regular
ly? If so, read on... it’s im
portant! One can of regular
soda exceeds the maximum
recommendation for daily
sugar intake! According to
industry reports, the average
American drinks 53 gallons
of soft drinks every year,
which makes it the most con
sumed beverage, even above
milk, water, coffee.
The amount of sug
ar in soft drinks varies, but
they usually contain 7-11 tea
spoons of sugar per 12 ounc
es. These excessively sugary
drinks can affect your teeth
enamel, along with many oth
er health risks associated with
a high sugar diet. Soft drinks
are also extremely acidic, and
do not help your body sustain
a healthy pH balance.
Nourish Your Body
with Healthy Water! Un
like soft drinks, juice, sports
drinks, coffee drinks, and al
cohol, water is naturally sug
ar-free. There are no calories,
no addictive ingredients, no
caffeine, no artificial flavors,
no allergens, and no side ef
fects of water. Water hydrates
your body so it can stay at
peak performance all day,
with no crash two horns af
ter consumption. There is no
better way to keep your body
healthy and hydrated than by
drinking plenty of pure, clean
water.
Choose the Best for
Proper Hydration! The qual
ity of the water you drink is
crucial to maintaining prop
er health. Kangen Water® is
high-quality alkaline water
that is clean, delicious, and
an excellent choice for main
taining good health. You can
sustain a healthier pH balance
with Kangen Water® and en
joy a great tasting beverage
that is conveniently available
on your kitchen counter.
When you’re look
ing for a beverage to quench
your thirst and keep you hy
drated, don’t trust a caffeinat-
ed drink with too much sugar.
You need Kangen Water® to
nourish your body and give
you the boost you need to
stay healthy. Staying healthy
has never been so easy!
So please, open your
mind, open your mouth and

September Is Prostate Cancer
Awareness Month
By James Morning
Special to the NNPA
Prostate cancer is
the most common form of
cancer in men, striking over
200,000 men each year. Afri
can-American men are at the
highest risk.
Every year, about
30,000 men die of this dis
ease, making it the second
deadliest cancer in men.
Caught early, prostate cancer
can be treated, usually suc
cessfully. But because many
men experience no symp
toms, it is often identified
only by an abnormal result
on a basic prostate cancer
screening.
For the last 20 years,
doctors have had a powerful
weapon in their arsenal for
detecting prostate cancer. In
addition to the DRE (a physi
cal exam allowing the doctor
to feel the prostate), patients
can also have a simple blood
test called a PSA, which will
detect a majority of prostate
problems early. In the two de
cades that the PSA has been
used, prostate cancer deaths
have declined, and the num
ber of successfully treated
prostate cancer cases has ris
en.
During September,
Prostate Cancer Awareness
Month, Men’s Health Net
work is urging men to talk
to their health care provid
ers about prostate cancer,
and to consider screening
at age 50, and at age 40 for
African Americans and men
with a family history of
prostate cancer. The group
also encourages women to
get involved and urge their
husbands to ask their health
care provider about a prostate
screening, including a PSA
test.
If you are on Medi
care, prostate cancer screen
ing is a part of your Welcome
to Medicare physical, the
free comprehensive physical
exam you receive in your first
year of eligibility. For young
er men, 36 states require that
insurance companies offer
ing health insurance provide
coverage for prostate cancer
tests. Insurance companies
may offer prostate cancer
screening in the remaining
states, but are not required to
do so.
The bottom line?
Having an annual prostate
exam, including a PSA test,
just might save your life.
No matter what age you are,
that annual PSA test creates a
benchmark against which to
judge future tests.
When you receive
your PSA test results, ask
your health care provider
what your PSA number is,
write it down, and compare
it against future tests. If the
number goes up in future
tests, talk to your doctor.
September is Pros
tate Cancer Awareness
Month. It’s the perfect time to
call your health care provid
er, schedule an appointment,
and get your prostate cancer
test done. Then, talk to your
health care provider and de
termine what screening and
treatment options are best for
you and your family.
