Alkaline water is water that has been ionised and has a higher pH level than regular water.
It typically has a pH value of 8 to 9.
Acidic substances have a pH level below 7.0 while alkali substances have a pH level above 7.0
The optimum pH level for our bodies is around 7.23 which leans toward the alkaline spectrum
Because many of the foods we consume on a daily basis are acidic in nature such as meats, eggs, flour and processed sugar.
Alkaline water helps to neutralise the acid in our bodies that may cause possible ailments in the body if not neutralised
Alkaline water also contains many essential minerals like magnesium and calcium that is not present in regular water.
Hence alkaline water helps us to meet our daily requirement of minerals that we don’t usually get on a daily basis.
An excessive amount of acid in the stomach can result in bloating and an inefficient digestive tract
An excessive amount of acid can decrease the efficiency of oxygen transport in the blood, leading to fatigue
The body may absorb alkaline minerals from certain body parts if it is unable to neutralise the acid present, leading to brittle nails & hair
An overconsumption of acidic foods may result in low body pH levels and this can lead to a headache
