What is alkaline water?

You may have heard various health claims about alkaline water. Some say it can help slow the aging process, regulate your body’s pH level, and prevent chronic diseases like cancer. But what exactly is alkaline water, and why all the hype?

The “alkaline” in alkaline water refers to its pH level. The pH level is a number that measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is on a scale of 0 to 14. For example, something with a pH of 1 would be very acidic and something with a pH of 13 would be very alkaline.

Alkaline water has a higher pH level than regular drinking water. Because of this, some advocates of alkaline water believe it can neutralize the acid in your body.

Normal drinking water generally has a neutral pH of 7. Alkaline water typically has a pH of 8 or 9. However, pH alone isn’t enough to impart substantial alkalinity to water.

Alkaline water must also contain alkaline minerals and negative oxidation reduction potential (ORP). ORP is the ability of water to act as a pro- or antioxidant. The more negative the ORP value, the more antioxidizing it is.

Benefits of alkaline water:

• Improves metabolism
• Increases energy
• Slows aging
• Improves digestion
• Reduces bone loss

• Toxins are the number one cause of aging. They are often a result of poor diet, pollution, and stress. Toxins can build up in your body causing cell damage that leads to premature aging. The best way to fight toxins and detoxify your body is with antioxidants. And it’s as easy as drinking antioxidant-rich alkaline water.

   

  

  Variation of pH across the United States

  The pH of precipitation, and water bodies, vary widely across the United States. Natural and human processes determine the pH of water. The National Atmospheric Deposition Program has developed maps showing pH patterns, such as the one below showing the spatial pattern of the pH of precipitation at field sites for 2002. You should be aware that this contour map was developed using the pH measurements at the specific sampling locations; thus, the contours and isolines were created using interpolation between data points. You should not necessarily use the map to document the pH at other particular map locations, but rather, use the map as a general indicator of pH throughout the country.

  

  Note: This map shows one point in time, and since 2002 there has been a general reduction in things that cause acid rain. A newer map might look very different than this one. Still, lower precipitation pH values still will occur in the northeastern U.S.

  Why do people drink alkaline water?

  Some say it can help slow the aging process, regulate your body's pH level, and prevent chronic diseases like cancer. ... Alkaline water has a higher pH level than regular drinking water. Because of this, some advocates of alkaline water believe it can neutralize the acid in your body.

   Is alkaline water good for health?

  Because alkaline water has a higher pH level than does plain tap water, proponents say that it can neutralize acid in your bloodstream. ... Some say that alkaline water can help prevent disease, such as cancer and heart disease.

  Can you drink alkaline water everyday?

  Drinking a bottle of alkaline water every other day won't significantly affect your body. However, if you drink a gallon of alkaline water daily, your body has to work hard to maintain its pH and that means that over time, your body will produce more gastric juices and digestive enzymes.

  Where can you find alkaline water?

  In big supermarkets you can try to find bottled alkaline water.
