Slimming by Drinking water. yup.

Over the years we have had quite a few reports from people who lost excess pounds when they began drinking Alkaline ionised water. It's understandable if you ascribe to the theory that the alkaline water, also being microclustered, has the ability to penetrate fat reserves and neutralise the reason for the fat in the first place; excess acids.
Ken Smith, our New Zealand distributor, had his own weight loss experience with alkaline ionised water and now he wants to tell the world. Here's his newly painted van. And here's his website with his story.

Vinegar and Fat

Ordinary vinegar – acetic acid – may prevent the build up of fat, and therefore weight gain, according to results of a study with mice from Japan.

Animals fed a high-fat diet and supplemented with acetic acid developed about 10 per cent less body fat than mice just eating the diet, according to findings published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

If the results can be repeated in further studies, particularly in human studies, it could see vinegar establish itself in the burgeoning weight management category.

Tomoo Kondo from the Central Research Institute of the Mizkan Group Corporation, found that vinegar was working at a genetic level, by influencing genes linked to fatty acid oxidation and heat-generating (energy burning) proteins.

“We intend to perform further clinical studies to confirm fat pad reduction and energy consumption enhancement by vinegar intake. Moreover, we will investigate the effect of acetic acid on fatty oxidative activation in other organs, particularly skeletal muscles,” wrote the researchers.

This is not the first time vinegar has been linked to weight control. In 2005 scientists from Lund University reported that increasing intake of the common flavouring could help dieters eat less and reduce cravings brought on by sugar peaks after meals (European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 59, pp 983-988).
