Have you heard about the amazing benefits of alkaline water?
Well, maybe it’s about time you try it for yourself!
In this article, we cover everything you need to know about how to make your drinking water more alkaline.
Let’s dive in!
Alkaline water is water that has a slightly basic pH of between 7.5 to 8.5.
What the heck is pH?
The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a solution is, and it ranges from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (alkaline).
Pure water is neutral with a pH of 7, so alkaline water is just barely above neutral.
Well, the cat is out of the bag... you can make your own alkaline water at home!
That means no more shopping online or finding stores that sell alkaline water.
Here are some of the best ways to make your drinking water alkaline:
Reverse osmosis (RO) filters can remove up to 99.9% of harmful contaminants from drinking water.
Then in the final stage of purification, they add healthy electrolyte minerals back into the water.
The added minerals make the water slightly alkaline, with a pH of around 8.0.
All Cloud Filters include a final remineralization step to produce alkaline water with perfect pH.
These filters are comparable to electric ionizers but are far more portable and won't cost you an arm and a leg!
To use it, simply pour water into the filter and allow it to rest for around five minutes.
Alkaline filter pitchers provide two functions:
Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Speaking of lemon...
Adding a squirt of lemon or lime juice to your glass of water can make your water more alkaline!
Although lemon and lime are acidic, they contain minerals that produce alkaline byproducts when ingested and metabolized.
So when life throws you lemons, make alkaline drinking water!
Baking soda is one of the simplest methods of alkalizing your drinking water.
It has a pH of 9, so it’s perfect for quickly balancing the pH of overlay acidic water.
Best of all, you probably already have it sitting right in your kitchen.
Just add 18 tablespoons of baking soda per 8 fluid ounces of filtered water and wait until it dissolves.
pH drops are designed to quickly turn regular (acidic) drinking water to alkaline water.
Because these liquid drops include highly concentrated minerals and electrolytes, you only need a couple of drops in each glass of water to raise its pH.
Fans of pH drops even add them to their morning coffee.
On top of that, pH drops are dirt cheap, so you won't have to break the bank to get alkaline!
Some scientists believe that certain products, such as coffee, alcohol and sugar, may cause the body to become more acidic.
Unfortunately, an acidic environment can increase the risk of cancer and other illnesses.
As a result, the more alkaline your body is, the less likely you are to suffer from disease.
The only question is, does alkaline water actually make your body and blood more alkaline?
According to some, it can help delay the aging process, balance the body's pH level, and prevent chronic diseases like cancer.
However, the studies are still early and the results are far from conclusive.
Whether or not you believe in the hype, it’s about time to take a closer look at the potential benefits of alkaline water...
Alkaline H2O may hydrate the body better than regular water thanks to its mineral content.
Natural alkaline water contains electrolyte minerals, like magnesium and calcium, that improve hydration.
Without these essential minerals, your cells cannot properly absorb water and create energy.
Some individuals believe that the more alkaline your body is, the less likely you are to get sick.
One recent study found that mice that drank alkaline water lived longer than mice that did not.
However, researchers acknowledged that further research is needed.
If you suffer from heartburn or other indigestion regularly, you know how unpleasant it can be!
Can alkaline water help?
One study found that a combination of the Mediterranean diet and drinking alkaline water can help relieve symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux,a form of acid reflux.
Drinking more water helps digestion in general, but researchers have discovered that alkaline water, in particular, can be especially effective at keeping bowels moving and cleansing the colon.
Proper hydration is also linked to a faster metabolism and easier weight loss.
Yes!
Most alkaline water has a pH of 8 or 8.5, which is perfectly healthy.
However, there is such a thing as water that’s too alkaline…
Going too basic with drinking water (say, above a pH of 10) may interfere with stomach acid production.
When this happens, your digestive system can't digest food correctly or fight dangerous germs.
The best way to make sure your water is always perfectly alkaline is to install a reverse osmosis filter in your home.
Cloud Water Filters fit right under the kitchen sink, remove up to 99.9% of pollutants and remineralize your water with alkaline minerals.
