Safety 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.

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.

Another way of making this product at home is by adding a few drops of pH into water. The waters used to make the substance at home should be distilled. It is not advisable to use bottled or tap waters because they may contain certain additives which may react with pH drops or lemon juice. The additives in bottled and tap waters may also cause unknown results. The WHO warns against drinking waters with low-mineral content regularly.

The substance has been claimed to bear several health benefits. It is claimed to be helpful in the regulation of body pH level, slowing of the aging process, and prevention of chronic diseases like cancer from developing. However, according to researchers, most people do well with ordinary waters and the claims are unsupported by science.

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.
