How Do You Make Alkaline Drinking Water?
Water is the most important thing that we consume; having access to high-quality water is a necessity not only for survival, but to help maintain the pH balance of the body. Our bodies naturally maintain a state of balance referred to as “homeostasis,” keeping our internal pH between 7.35 and 7.45, which is slightly alkaline. Western diets are high in acid-producing substances, which reverses the natural pH of the body and causes it to work harder to maintain homeostasis, putting avoidable stress on internal organs. There is scientific dispute regarding whether or not alkalizing water has health benefits, but there is certainly no harm in the practice. There are three ways to make your drinking water more alkaline: purchasing a distiller, ionizer or adding alkaline substances. Test the pH of your water by following the directions that came with your pH testing kit. The pH scale runs from zero to 14 with seven being neutral. Zero to seven is acidic and seven to 14 is alkaline. Tap water
