Change Your Water... Change Your Life!
“Writing Our Own Narrative”
APRI 50th Anniversary Celebration
continued from page 1
Ionized alkalized
restructured Kangen Water®
is a great way to increase
hydration, balance body pH,
obtain optimal health, neu
tralize free radicals, reduce
pain, and much more. The
question is what benefits are
you looking for?
Kangen Water® is
the best water you can drink.
It has a clean, refreshing
smooth taste, and enhances
the taste of food and bever
ages.
Over time it will
balance the body’s pH and
help to raise the body’s alka
linity so it can fight free-rad-
icals that damage healthy
cells. An alkaline body is a
healthy body.
It is a powerful an
ti-oxidant. Oxidation occurs
naturally in nature. The rust
on a pipe or a cut apple turn
ing brown is oxidation. Ox
idation in the body is known
as aging. Kangen Water® is
a powerful anti-oxidant, 6-8
times more powerful than
green tea therefore will help
to slow the aging process.
When you have
a buildup of acidic waste
Ernestine Murray
in the body, eventually you
will need some sort of detox
to cleanse yourself. Think
of a dirty fish tank, what
happens when the water gets
dirty and is not replaced?
The fish DIE, just like your
cells if the water is not re
placed with good, clean,
hydrating water. Drinking
Kangen Water® is a simple
and natural way to detoxify
your body of impurities.
Pain is something
that many people deal with
on a daily basis. Muscle
soreness, joint pain and
stiffness are the most com
mon. Kangen Water® can
reduce pain by helping the
body become hydrated and
allowing the acidic waste to
be removed.
Tiredness is a sign
of the body being overly
acidic. When your body
dumps acidic and metabolic
waste into your interstitial
fluids, you have to be able to
eliminate the buildup. When
consumed on a regular ba
sis, Kangen Water® will
help clean up the waste and
improve your energy levels.
Kangen Water® is radi
cally changing the lives of
so many around the world
and in Savannah. Kangen
means “return to origin” and
that’s exactly what this wa
ter does.
Don’t miss out
on the benefits of Kangen
Water®. For your FREE
sample, our next Hydration
Party will be August 31, at
2pm. Lighthouse Financial,
401 Mall Blvd., Suite 101E.

Our Own Narrative” and in
cluded workshops, strategic
planning meetings and spe
cial events as well as a con
ference for youth entitled
“Modem Activism.”
A special empha
sis was placed on health
at the conference. APRI
National President Clayola
Brown said, “Tragic events
in Charleston, Ferguson,
Texas and Cleveland have
had a dramatic impact on
our mental health. While
the financial health of many
Black Americans continues
to remain unstable despite
growth in the U.S. econ
omy. In addition, we fo
cused on the role organized
labor continues to have in
improving lifestyles for
Black Americans with a
special emphasis on retire
ment,” Brown added.
Recent studies
show that Blacks who are
65 or older are more than
two and a half times as like
ly as whites to live in pover
