Safety 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 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.

Groceries, health food stores among other places are where the product can be bought. Ionizers can also be acquired from shopping malls. The internet can also present a wide range of products to choose from and have them delivered to any destination one wants. There are also natural means of making the substance from home. One can simply take a glass of water and add into it a few drops of juice from the lemon fruit. Chemical properties of the water will be changed by chemicals in the fruit.

One can also make the product at home by adding a few pH drops into water. Only distilled waters should be used to make the product. Additives contained in tap and bottled waters make them unsuitable for use. The additives may react with lemon juice or pH drops or it may result in unknown consequences. Regular drinking of low-mineral waters have been warned against by the World Health organization, 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.
