A Look at Health in Japan

In terms of health, we can learn a few things from the Japanese… they are focused on prevention or  ”wellness insurance” more so than we are in the U.S.  In the United States it would seem that the primary use of our health insurance is really for  “sickness insurance” or the treatment of disease after it has occurred.

Japan has also done more research on water, and the process of ionization, than any other country. The Japanese have taken the lead in water technology. They had a great incentive for conducting such studies, because several decades ago, there was great concern about the acid rain they were getting in their water.  This led to the development of a machine which would convert the water to greater alkalinity.  And the Japanese have embraced the concept of ionization beyond that of any other country.

Now, one household in five in Japan enjoy the health benefits of an ionizer…and therefore,  regularly drink ionized, alkaline water. Only one household in 18,000 in America has this advantage.

So lets look at Japan’s predominant choice for ionizers.  Enagic has a strong history of  providing machines for over 100 Japanese hospitals and over 3,000 restaurants.  Over 400, 000 of Enagic’s LeveLuk ionizers have been sold in Japan. Enagic, then, is focused on long term performance rather than simply selling a household appliance.

In the Enagic factory, all steps of the manufacturing process are performed, from the production of parts and packaging to assembly, testing, inspection and final packaging.  A high-quality product is controlled through this process.

Japan is rated #1 by the United Nations World Health Organization for their people’s longevity… the United States rates #38, below Cuba! See wikipedia for full listing.

Japan And Enagic

Okinawa is where the founder, Mr. Hironari Oshiro, was first inspired to expand Enagic beyond the confines of his own small home island. Having captured the ionizer market aggressively in the 1970′s, Mr. Oshiro first ventured to Tokyo and Osaka, bringing Kangen Water to the mainland of Japan.

In only a few years, hundreds of thousands of households, restaurants, clinics and even hospitals embraced the healthy benefits of alkaline water.

As the founder explained, “To know my own island is to know why we perform the mission we perform. The essential aspect of Enagic is one of providing for others. Whether we provide good Kangen Water for their health, a tremendous business opportunity to alleviate their worries amidst this troubled economy, or even the peace of mind that comes with truly actualizing their true health, we are carrying out our mission.”

In March of 2010 over 20 of the top Enagic leaders (Enagic Independent Distributors) made a trip to Japan on the occasion of the Founder’s 69th birthday. Enagic leaders visited Enagic’s Okinawa, Osaka, and Tokyo facilities. See more.


 

About Enagic: Message from Enagic President, Hironari Oshiro

“The basis of vitality and long life is water.”

“Enagic celebrated its 36th year last June as a specialized manufacturer of high quality water generating systems. Today Enagic’s pledge to realize a revolution in True Health – in the form of physical health, economic health and mental health – is supported by a multitude of people.

The human body is comprised of 70% water. It is no exaggeration to say that “the basis of vitality and long life is water.” Enagic offers safe water that can be used with confidence to benefit health, beauty, sanitation and cuisine.

Enagic is an integrated development, manufacturing, sales and service company. Today, as the graying of society continues, a major company theme is the active use of “Kangen” and acidic water in the battle against aging.

As the evolution of information technology continues we have entered the age of “human technology marketing.” Market vitality now depends upon a merging of high technology and the “high touch” relationship between human beings. Enagic is teaming up with an international network of offices and numerous distributors around the world to spread the word “water and health” while building a global company with worldwide operations.”
