If you\u2019ve heard of quinoa, juice detox, or coffee enema, then this is probably not the first time you come across the concept of alkaline water.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

With a new diet trend spun out and fading almost every other year, it can be challenging to decide if alkaline water is a fad, or actually a healthy regimen to maintain in the long term. Perhaps if the latter is the case, you\u2019d be interested in learning how to make alkaline water. That way, you won\u2019t have to spend ridiculous money buying premium bottled water.<\/p>\n

Hence the exploration we will make today.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Alkaline Water?<\/h2>\n

The alkalinity of water, as well as that of many other liquids, is determined by the pH (potential of hydrogen) level. The higher the pH, the more alkaline or basic a liquid is, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

The pH level of normal drinking water is usually seven. Alkaline water has a higher pH than seven, usually somewhere between eight and nine.<\/p>\n

Alkaline water may come from springs or artesian wells in areas where there is a large amount of dissolved minerals. You can also produce it using very simple methods. Among which, the most effective is using a commercial or residential water ionizer. It\u2019s worth noting, however, that there are claims that the water quality is not on par with that of alkaline water from natural sources.<\/p>\n

Benefits And Risks Of Alkaline Water Consumption<\/b><\/h2>\n

Like the case with other health trends, there is a debate around the benefits and risks associated with consuming alkaline water.<\/p>\n

Alkaline Water Benefits<\/b><\/h3>\n

The hype of drinking alkaline water stems, as far as we know, from the acid-ash hypothesis of osteoporosis.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Benefit<\/p>\n

Alkaline water is believed to offer health benefits<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As the hypothesis goes, foods that turn into acidic ash after burning in the metabolic process can make blood more acidic. This causes osteoporosis, a condition where our bones become weakened, fragile, and more prone to breaking. A high acidity also leads to faster aging and nourishes cancer cells,\u00a0according to advocates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is the root of the alkaline diet, a diet consisting mostly of foods that, when burned, produce ash that has a basic pH. Followers of this diet believe it can improve your health and skin condition, slow down the aging process, and reduce the risk of cancer. Alkaline water is a widely accepted part of this diet.<\/p>\n

The claimed benefits of alkaline water include:<\/p>\n
