ALKALINE WATER AND ITS HEALTH BENEFITS

15th Sep admin

Drinking the right amount of water every day is extremely essential as it helps our body thrive and keep illness at bay. An adequate intake of water daily ensures the proper functioning of all the physiological processes taking place in our body and thereby allows us to lead a normal healthy life. However, in case of drinking water, we all have our concerns as to which type of water is best suited for us. Is only purified water from water purifiers enough for us? Or do we need something extra in our water to keep ourselves more fit? The answer lies in the fact that nowadays, the best kind of water we could drink, to boost our overall well-being, is alkalines water.

Before going into the concept of alkaline water, the parameter we need to focus on is the pH of water. What is actually meant by pH? Basically, pH is a scale that is used to determine whether aqueous solutions (i.e., water-based solutions) are acidic, alkaline, or neutral. The pH scale has a range that extends from 0 to 14. If the pH of any solution is less than 7, then the solution is termed as an acidic solution; if the pH is more than 7, it is termed as alkaline or basic (for our convenience we will use the word ‘alkaline’ synonymously with ‘basic’) and if the pH of the solution is equal to 7, it means that the solution is neutral. A neutral solution is so-called because it is neither acidic nor basic. To understand this more clearly, we can cite a few examples—[i] Orange juice has a pH value of 3.3 whereas the pH value of green tea is 7.2. It means that orange juice is an acidic solution, and green tea is an alkaline one. [ii] In case of vinegar, the approximate pH value is 2.5 and that of coconut milk is 6.5. Both these solutions are acidic but looking at the values, it can be clearly stated that vinegar is more acidic than coconut milk.

Alkaline water is water that has a pH value more than 7. Generally, water is neutral in nature, i.e., it should have a pH value equal to 7. However, depending on the source, water becomes either slightly acidic or alkaline. In recent times, people are shifting towards consuming water because it neutralizes the excess acid in their body, which in turn, helps to prevent many ailments. The most common way to obtain alkaline water is to install a specialized RO water purifier catering to this requirement. Propello, one of the top rated water purifier brands in Kolkata, uses the Alkaline Rich Technology in their Splash Alkaline RO water purifier which maintains the pH value of drinking water at the desired level and thus, provides a proper supply of alkaline water.

 

HEALTH BENEFITS OF ALKALINE WATER:

  1. Alkaline water has better hydration capacity than normal water because the molecules of alkaline water are comparatively small and thus, get readily absorbed by the body.
  2. Alkaline water promotes detoxification because it flushes out toxins from our body caused by stress, anxiety, and improper diet plan.
  3. Calcium and magnesium present in alkaline water help in maintaining bone, and heart health.
  4. Antioxidants present in alkaline water delays the aging process by preventing the growth of free radicals which damage the body cells.
  5. Alkaline water improves the metabolism of our body because it has the capacity to neutralize the excess acid present in our stomach and gastrointestinal tract.

So alkaline water has certain properties which make it more effective than normal drinking water. It plays a key role in warding off many common diseases. Thus, we must include alkaline water in our daily diet as it helps us to be in good physical condition.
