The Health Advantages Of Natural Alkaline Water

By Christine Edwards


Many claims have been made about alkaline water, particularly about the health benefits it is thought to have. However, some people still fail to know what alkaline water is all about. To start with, the name alkaline in alkaline water is a reference to its pH level on the pH scale. The pH value of natural alkaline water is greater than that of ordinary water.

It is often claimed that neutralization of body acids can be done by the alkalinity in alkaline water. Seven is the pH value of ordinary water. This makes it naturally neutral without any basic or acidic properties. The same is not true for this substance because it ranges between 8 and 9 on the pH scale. That implies that it is a base.

The substance occurs naturally or can be made using artificial means. Naturally, the waters are formed by dissolving minerals as it moves over various surfaces. Using artificial means, a device called ionizer can be used. Manufacturers argue that uses the process of electrolysis to convert neutrality of waters into alkalinity. This is often criticized and questioned by researchers. The criticism is made because the process is not supported by any quality research.

The substance is available from many sources such as groceries and health food stores. Those who believe in the working of ionizers can buy the, from shopping malls and big chain stores. One can also check the internet for businesses that sell similar products. It is also possible to make this product from home. Top do so, one needs to add drops of lemon juice into one or several glasses of water. The composition of waters is changed by the minerals contained in lemon juice to become basic.

Another method to make the product from home is to add pH drops to water. One should always use distilled waters because they are pure. Additives that exist in bottled and tap waters make not suitable for the exercise. Those additives can undergo reaction with pH drops of juice from the lemon fruits. Additionally, the additives can cause unknown consequences. It is not advisable to take low-mineral waters on a regular basis according to the WHO.

There are many claims about the health benefits of this product. Some people and companies claim that they can help in regulating body pH levels, prevent the development of chronic diseases like cancer, and slow the pace of the aging process. However, medical researchers hold that ordinary waters are fine for most people because the claims made regarding these waters are unfounded.

Some research studies have published results that indicate that the the substance is beneficial in some ways. A 2012 study reached a conclusion that pepsin in the body can be deactivated by the substance. The conclusion from another study found the substance to be beneficial to people who suffer from diabetes, high cholesterol levels, and high blood pressure.

Research has not associated the waters with any medical problem. In fact, they are safe to drink it due to the mineral content. It is the bogus claims of manufacturers and marketers that people need to ignore because they are false.
