Is it really beneficial?
Drink normal water. Alkaline water isn’t going to change body pH as your body maintains a tight 7.35-7.45 pH for normal functioning. Any change, means you’re dead.
Other claims like alkaline treating cancer is psuedoscientific.
For acid reflux, exercise and keeping pillows above while sleeping is more beneficial.
For taste, you can try but no reason to overpay.
No research to back this up, that I’m aware of. All the claims out there about alkaline water are pseudoscience, at best.
Drink purified water if you’re concerned about contaminants, otherwise, doesn’t matter what water you drink!
The chemist in me wants to say why does it matter if you can just adjust your pH through adding bases. I think fruits and veggies tend to be basic but please fact check and journal what you eat if you have a medical condition requiring specific pH levels.
