What is Hydrogen Water?
Hydrogen water is a game-changer for ballroom dancers seeking to perform at their peak and recover effectively. Created through Enagic's innovative water technology, it not only offers delicious hydration but also provides ionized alkaline properties that support overall health and wellness. The intense physical demands of ballroom dancing, long rehearsals, intricate footwork, and high-energy performances, require optimal hydration to maintain stamina, focus, and muscle recovery. Hydrogen water helps neutralize harmful free radicals, reducing fatigue and inflammation, and allowing dancers to stay energized and graceful on the dance floor. It's more than just water; it's a dancer's essential ally for health, beauty, and performance.
Hydrogen Water aka electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) begins as tap water. A machine filters out chlorine and other impurities from the tap water, then separates the hydrogen and oxygen with a process known as electrolysis. This process adds an electron to the hydrogen creating a new molecule called diatomic molecular hydrogen gas. When this is added to your drinking water, it produces antioxidant-rich Hydrogen Water.
Oxidant, by definition, is an oxidizing agent, while antioxidant is any substance that acts to slow or prevent the oxidation of another chemical.
For dancers, this antioxidant-rich water can be a game-changer. The intense physical demands of ballroom dancing generate oxidative stress in the body, which can lead to fatigue, inflammation, and slower recovery. Drinking Hydrogen Water helps combat these effects, supporting faster recovery, sustained energy, and overall wellness. By nourishing the body at the cellular level, it becomes an essential tool for dancers striving for longevity, grace, and excellence on the dance floor.

What are the problems with commonly used waters?
Many common water sources lack the properties needed to support optimal hydration and wellness, especially for dancers. They may be overly processed, stripped of essential minerals, or fail to provide antioxidant benefits, impacting energy levels and recovery.
REVERSE OSMOSIS
Reverse Osmosis is a filtering process which may be effective in areas that do not receive municipally treated water and is commonly used in bottled water facilities. The problem with this process is that dangerous chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, and chlorine are molecularly smaller than water and can pass freely through the filter. Reverse osmosis removes healthy, naturally occurring water minerals. When stripped of these minerals, water can be unhealthy.
TAP WATER
Tap water is a healthier option than soft drinks. However, according to the Environmental Working Group, 315 pollutants have been found in America's tap water since 2004, with over half completely unregulated and allowed in any amount. For ballroom dancers, this can be a concern. The physical demands of dance require clean, high-quality water to maintain energy, joint health, and recovery. Impurities in tap water can hinder hydration and overall wellness, making premium water solutions like Kangen Water® an essential choice for dancers striving to perform at their best.
BOTTLED WATER
Bottled water is not necessarily healthier than tap water, yet it costs significantly more. While often associated with healthy hydration, it typically offers little more than added minerals with no proven health benefits. A four-year study by the Natural Resources Defense Council found that 1/3 of bottled water tested contained contamination levels exceeding allowable limits. For ballroom dancers, who need clean, effective hydration to maintain endurance, focus, and recovery, relying on bottled water may not provide the optimal solution. Choosing a high-quality, antioxidant-rich water source can make all the difference in performance and well-being.
