Is Alkaline Water Really Beneficial?

Posted on August 10, 2016 by Editor Posted in Healthy Tips .

When it comes to health, water plays a major role. In fact, no other substance is as important as water in our bodies. So, if you are drinking plenty of water every single day, you’re already doing something beneficial for your health.

However, you may have heard about alkaline or ionized water. This water is less acidic than tap water, and therefore is a healthier option. Let’s investigate whether ionized water is really beneficial or it’s just a myth.

What is alkaline water?

Alkaline water is loaded with alkalizing compounds, including silica, magnesium, bicarbonate, and calcium.

Some people and even health experts in Singapore believe that a diet with more alkaline—including consumption of more alkaline water—can reduce the body’s acidity level, which leads to better overall health. However, there are still some who are sceptical and question whether drinking ionized water significantly helps with the health.

Is it worth every dollar to buy a water filter to alkalize water or is it just another diet trend?

Do you need to alkalize water?

The concept of alkalizing water is this: tap water usually has lower pH level (acidic) due to the dissolved elements in it. Pure water has ph level lower than seven, while alkaline water has pH level above seven. The idea is that to create a balanced alkaline in the body by drinking water with higher pH level.

However, there’s a problem with this concept. First, each internal organ requires different pH range, and our body’s natural mechanism does a fantastic job of maintaining them in their respective range.

Secondly, if you body’s pH is unbalanced, it’s crucial to get into the root of the problem instead of relying to ionized water. Without the right diagnosis, you cannot determine whether ionized water can really help you.

Once you get into the bottom of the problem and have find way to counteract it, you can then boost the medication’s and your body’s ability to cure the problem by consuming alkaline water—though it’s still recommended to ask for your doctor’s advice before doing so.

What are the benefits of alkaline water?

With that being said, let’s explore the health benefits of ionized water from www.h2olifesource.com in Singapore before judging the method, as many sceptics do.

• Helps Prevent With Glycation

In a research, ionized water seems to lower glycation levels and reduce liver damage in rate with poor sugar control. Why is this important? Here’s the reason behind:

Glycation is a body reaction that occurs when sugar molecules like glucose or fructose, attaches to proteins or fatty lipids without moderation of enzyme. In result, rogue molecules known as advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are formed, which are directly associated to diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

Now, although rats and humans are not the same, the benefits of ionized water still lean on the positive side. While it’s tricky to directly relate animal studies to human health, the rest of the water’s health benefits prove how much alkaline helps in boosting human health.

• Enhances Body Stamina

If there’s one group of people that will benefit the most from drinking alkalized water, it is those who are physically active. Intense work-out stimulates the muscle to produce more hydrogen ions, thus increasing the body’s acidity level and encouraging fatigue. Drinking ionized water enhances the body’s ability to control acidity, therefore enhancing the performance. Plus, over time, the mineral content of the water helps active individuals retain fluid in the cardiovascular system. This improves overall body hydration and fluid reserves.

• Boosts Gut Health

Some components of ionized water help improve the gut health. Ionized water has negative oxidation-reduction potential, meaning it offers extra disinfectant properties. With this component, drinking ionized water can provide the body additional protection against health-threatening microorganisms.

• Slows Down Aging Process

Toxins that circulate inside the body are among the top causes of premature aging. As ionized water helps get rid of these toxins out of your system, the body’s aging process slows down. It also rids the body of free radicals that can cause cell degeneration. Rather than wreaking havoc on your health, the alkaline properties of the water transform free radicals into oxygen that your body can utilize.

• Improves Your Skin

It’s no secret how adequate water intake promotes healthy and glowing skin. Drinking alkaline water enhances the process of skin rejuvenation by also removing toxins from the skin, allowing healthy skin cells to flourish.

Where to find alkaline water?

If you want to give alkaline water a try, it can get confusing to know which waters are alkaline. But it’s essential to know that bottled mineral waters are more alkaline than non-mineral ones. These waters can range from pH level of 6.0 to 9.5.

The most practical way, however, instead of buying bottled water is to buy an ionizing water filter, which is called water ionizer. In Singapore, water ionizers are available in machine and tumbler form. These ionizers can turn tap water into alkaline in the convenience of your own home—or wherever you are with ionizing tumblers.

Generally, people hardly notice what’s happening inside the body. We lack the tools to interpret or don’t have the time to notice the signals our body conveys in terms of change—positive or negative. Still, equipped with the basic knowledge that modern lifestyle is the number one culprit of unhealthy body, we should provide our body with a beneficial nudge in dealing with day-to-day challenges. A simple tweak, like consuming a couple of glasses of alkalized water in a day, goes a long way in keeping our health at its prime.
