Are you aware of the 5 major benefits of alkaline water?
Nov
An average human consist of 60% water where staying hydrated will keep you alive without food even for 3 days. On top of soothing acid reflux, other claimed benefits of alkaline water are that it helps neutralize acid in the bloodstream, which leads to increased oxygen levels and improved energy and metabolism; it contains antioxidant properties (anti-ageing and anti-disease); cleanses the colon.
1. Balance PH
Drinking alkaline water has also been linked to a better pH balance and extra hydration. In a 2010 study published in The Journal of the International Society of Sports Medicine, individuals who drank alkaline water showed an improved acid-base balance and hydration status compared to tap water. There were significant increases in both blood and urine pH, but this reversed when the individuals drank the placebo water.
2. Hydration of alkaline water has positive effects on Energy Levels and Brain Function
Your brain is strongly influenced by hydration status. Studies show that even mild dehydration (1-3% of body weight) can impair many aspects of brain function. In a study of young women, fluid loss of 1.36% after exercise impaired both mood and concentration, and increased the frequency of headaches. Another similar study, this time in young men, showed that fluid loss of 1.59% was detrimental to working memory and increased feelings of anxiety and fatigue. A 1-3% fluid loss equals about 1.5-4.5 lbs (0.5-2 kg) of body weight loss for a 150 lbs (68 kg) person. This can easily occur through normal daily activities, let alone during exercise or high heat.
3. Alkaline Water May Help to Prevent and Treat Headaches
Dehydration can trigger headaches and migraines in some individuals. Several studies have shown that water can relieve headaches in those who are dehydrated. However, this appears to depend on the type of headache.
4. Alkaline Water May Help Relieve Constipation
Constipation is a common problem, characterized by infrequent bowel movements and difficulty passing stool. Increasing fluid intake is often recommended as a part of the treatment protocol, and there is some evidence to back this up. Low water consumption appears to be a risk factor for constipation in both young and elderly individuals. Carbonated water shows particularly promising results for constipation relief, although the reason is not entirely understood.
5. Water helps to lose weight
Alkaline water naturally neutralizes the acids in the body. In other words, those who drink alkaline water do not need to create more fat cells to neutralize the acid from all the junk food. Drinking alkaline water significantly helps in weight loss because fat storage is reduced. Have a portable alkaline stick in your bottle gets your water alkaline instantly.
