What is Alkaline Water?

Alkaline water is water that has been ionized, which means the pH level of water has been increased. The pH level is a number that measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is on a scale of 0 to 14. For instance, if the level is 1, it means the substance is very acidic and if it is 13, it is very alkaline. Alkaline water has pH level of about 8 or 9 and pH level of normal tap water is 7, which is neutral. It is believed that alkaline water helps people with excess acidity as it helps neutralize the acid in the body; thanks to its alkaline nature. This process of neutralizing acids in the body helps prevent various ailments. There are ways to increase the alkaline properties of water by using special filters, faucet attachments and additives that raise the pH levels, making normal tap water go from neutral pH to Alkaline.

Benefits of Alkaline water

While there is still a lack of proven scientific research, various proponents of alkaline water claim to believe in the following benefits of alkaline water. For me, a small burp immediately after having drunk it, gives happiness as it provokes a thought that the underlying -COOH (Carboxylic Acid) of the digestion system has been neutralized by getting the -CO2 removed from it.

One of the most important benefits of alkaline water is that it neutralizes the acidity in our body by lowering excessive acidic content in the stomach and gastro-intestinal tract.

Alkaline water has ultra-hydrating properties as compared to normal water. This can be a beneficial drink for people who work-out on a daily basis and require more amount of water in their body.

Scientifically speaking, the water molecules in alkaline water are smaller and more readily absorbed by our cells, which help our body re-hydrate quickly.

Alkaline water benefits also include boosting immunity. Our immune system may help neutralize the acidity in our body, which is caused by poor diet, stress and environmental toxins.

Alkaline water is said to have various minerals like magnesium and calcium, both of which are important for maintaining healthy bones.

Alkaline water has many potent antioxidants that help prevent the growth of free radicals damaging in the body, which can further rush up the ageing process.

When should one drink Alkaline Water ?

I usually prefer to drink Alkaline water having a gap of 2 hours before and after food, breakfast or any habitual gulping.

Prepare at Home

If you want to make it in your own kitchen then here is a simple method...

(1) Cut a few slices of a fresh Cucumber

(2) Cut a couple of slices of fresh Lemon with skin

(3) Add both of these into 1 Liter bottle of drinking water over night.

That's it! Next day early morning you can have the home made Alkaline Water !

Ideally I take it in with the gap of 2 hours before and after any meal.

There are pitchers and tools available too if you don't want to make it at home everyday. India based readers can check few of those here ...

So...Take Care... Drink healthy and stay happy !
