Properties And Benefits Of Natural Alkaline Water

By Christine Edwards


A lot has been said about alkaline water, especially the health benefits that are associated with it. However, many people do not understand what it means by alkaline water. To begin with, the alkaline in the term refers to the pH level of the water. Natural alkaline water has a pH value that is higher than that of regular water.

Because of the high alkalinity of the water, some individuals make claims that it can be used in neutralization of acids in the body. Ordinary waters usually have a pH value of 7. This means that they are neutral, without acidity or basicity. However, the pH value of this product lies between 8 and 9. Therefore, it is basic.

The substance may occur naturally or may be made artificially. The substance in a natural setting is formed by waters picking up minerals as they pass over different surfaces such as rocks. Artificially, the the substance is made using some devices called ionizers. There are many manufacturers of ionizers who claim that they work by transforming neutral waters into basic ones. The process through which this occurs is called electrolysis. Many researchers have criticized the claims made about ionizers stating that there is no quality evidence to support them.

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.

However, there are some scientific research studies that have established that the product indeed has some health benefits on people. A study conducted in 2012 concluded that the substance is helpful in deactivating pepsin in the body. Another study concluded that the substance was good for people suffering from high cholesterol levels, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

No health problems have been associated with the water. The high mineral content makes it safe and suitable for drinking. Marketers and producers make claims that are not true and people are warned against believing in such claims.
