If you asked a group of people if they drank alkaline water, you would get a mixed review of answers such as, “No”, “Yes, it’s the only water I drink”, and “What is Alkaline water?”.
In our previous blog, How Safe Is Bottled Water, we discussed the marketing tactics and words that companies use to promote their brand of bottled water. One of those words we mentioned was Alkaline.
When there is an opportunity to promote the benefits of a product by using buzz words and popular trends, a company will use it and also use that benefit to increase the price of said product.
Alkaline water is considered a “higher-grade” water because it has a higher pH compared to tap or even standard bottled water.
But what actually is Alkaline Water and is it really beneficial? On our quest to inform our consumers about Water Basics and how to improve your life and home with the purest water on the planet, we are here to break down that exact question.
A Better Water?
Water is life sustaining. We need it to fuel our bodies, and fill our homes to live a quality lifestyle.
Any chance we get to take advantage of a beneficial additive to our water, we want to grasp it in hopes that it will help us feel better.
In comes Alkaline water and the benefits that many say it has.
There are actually about a dozen benefits that Alkaline water claims to have, but we will dive into just a few of the main ones here in this post.
Neutralizes Acidity In The Body
Alkaline water may help neutralize the acid in your bloodstream. This is because it has a higher pH level, which could counterbalance the acidity caused by an acid-heavy diet. Some believe this can reduce acid reflux and other related symptoms.
Improved Hydration
Alkaline water is often said to be more easily absorbed by the body, leading to better hydration. This could be beneficial for athletes or people who engage in strenuous physical activities. The theory is that smaller clusters of water molecules in alkaline water penetrate cells more effectively.
This one benefit has been studied a few times and positive results have been found!
Antioxidant Properties
Alkaline water is sometimes said to have antioxidant properties that can help neutralize free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress and potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases like cancer.
Potential Of Improved Bone Health
Some research suggests that alkaline water may help slow down bone loss, possibly due to its mineral content and its ability to balance acidity in the body, which could otherwise contribute to bone demineralization.
Take All Claims With A Grain Of Salt
Like any health claims and benefits that a product is said to have, it’s best to do your own research, and speak to a healthcare provider to ensure that you are making the best and safest decisions for your unique health profile.
