Imani's Personal Story

I have been a Health Educator and Health Scientist most of my adult life. With both Ivy League and grass roots training and experience, I have dedicated my life to educating others about healthy options and lifestyles. In my spare time I manage a Teen Theater Program entitled Y.E.S. 4 Health, that trains young peer educators who educate other teens about important health issues through drama, dance and song. I also hold Health Haiku Workshops that teach youth and mentors about health issues using haiku and other forms of poetry. In a word, this is what I love doing. In spite of this love, I have had a couple of persistent health challenges over the years.



I will only give the short version and save the best for the Friday evening Health and Wellness seminars. Besides the longer version might take up too much space! I have had three major health improvements since drinking Kangen Alkaline Water. I will share 2 of those here. We were introduced to this alkaline water in early October. Brianna- now a good friend, was bringing the water to Rahn at the store and eventually we started trying it. I would drink an occassional glass, however I had not received information about the potential of the water to boost my alkalinity and serve as a strong antioxidant. After seeing a video I was a little bit of a doubter, but started drinking the water to see if I could feel the difference....Well, after a few days of serious guzzling - my chronic lower back pain of over 15 years WAS GONE! Needless to say, I started to get a little excited. My Chiropractor has not seen me (except for a social function back in October) since I have been drinking the water...The second major story is that of my skin. I have had major skin problems every winter. Dry itchy patches would form on my arms, legs and hips - all of my life. I started akalizing with greens a couple of years ago and got some relief, however this is the first winter that my skin is smooth as silk! Anyone that really knows me, knows that I have suffered through many winters. Okay, so I am even more excited - back and skin! I will share more when I see you. I am still a work in progress - as most of us are. I am making little changes in my diet to enhance the alkalizing affects. Exercise has also been really important in my life. Please feel free to share your own alkalizing story.
