Imagine walking into a convenience store on a hot summer’s day.

As the sun’s rays pelt you with unforgiving heat, you scurry to the beverage aisle to pick up a cold and refreshing bottle of water. After making payment, you twist the cap off and chug the water back like a racehorse after a sprint. But then, something strange happens... You feel as if the water is sloshing around in your stomach.

Its presence is more potent and noticeable, as you feel every wave moving inside of you.

What’s going on? This uneasy experience typically happens when water is too acidic. Acidic water is inefficient, which slows its ability to get to the regions of your body that need it most. That’s where alkaline water can be a helpful alternative.

But alkaline drinking water does much more than simply improve efficiency. Keep reading to learn more.

What is Alkaline Water?

Alkaline water refers to water with a pH level higher than that of regular plain tap water.

It is more base and less acidic. For your reference, the pH scale uses a range of 0 to 14 to evaluate how alkaline (base) or acidic a substance is. Pure water can be found in the neutral pH range of 7, which may help with maintaining your acid-base balance. Alkaline water, on the other hand, can usually be found in the 8 to 9 range on the pH scale.

For example, minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and more will all play a key role in determining alkaline water’s pH level.

Alkaline Water vs. Plain Water

So, what’s the difference between alkaline and regular water?

And more importantly, do any possible disparities contribute to (or compromise) the health condition of you or your clients? Luckily, not to any significant degree that you should avoid one over the other. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a preferable option that can support your health and wellness better.

Regular water (whether it’s bottled water, tap water, etc.) undergoes extensive water treatment. So, yes, it is fine.

However, if you’re looking to optimize the type of water you consume, alkaline and non-alkaline water drinkers alike can benefit from the alkaline option. The reason is that alkaline water has a higher pH level and, as a result, neutralizes excess acidity in your system, potentially helping with digestion and other health conditions (which we’ll get to in a moment).

Potential Benefits of Alkaline Water to Consider

How would it feel to recharge, rebalance, reset, and reboot yourself from a frequency perspective?

The good news is that alkaline water may be able to help create that outcome. While scientific evidence in this area is still ongoing, there is enough to support a few potential health benefits that electrolyzed-reduced water has over regular tap water.

1. May Be Better for Hydration

One study revealed that alkaline water may be the better choice for keeping your body hydrated. 

This is especially true if the dehydration is a result of strenuous physical activity. The study revealed that after dehydration from intense exercise, alkaline water reduced high-shear viscosity (water’s resistance to flow inside your body) by about 6% compared to only 3% with regular drinking water 

This may be an indicator that high-pH water is more efficient when it comes to circulation. For this reason, alkaline water consumption may be more effective when it comes to quick and more efficient hydration.

2. Could Enhance Your Chakras

More than simply hydrating you, ample alkaline water consumption might also improve the vibrational frequency of your Svadhisthana chakra (also referred to as your sacral chakra).

The sacral chakra is the second of 7 main chakras located in your lower abdomen. It is most associated with joy, fluidity, and creativity. And it appears that the alkaline minerals within this type of water may help to enhance the energy of this chakra, in particular. Water is strongly connected to the sacral chakra.

And some people even believe that alkaline water consumption can enhance the chakra’s qualities.

3. Potential Relief From Acid Reflux

Do you or someone you know struggle with acid reflux?

If so, alkaline water consumption may be able to help. Your stomach produces a digestive enzyme referred to as pepsin (which helps with protein digestion). When you experience acid reflux, pepsin gets deposited into the tissues within your esophagus, which causes acid reflux.

However, drinking alkaline water (which has a pH level of 8.8) may help to neutralize the reactions of pepsin, potentially alleviating your acid reflux.

4. Might Help With Other Health Conditions

One study revealed that consuming alkaline-ionized water may contribute to helping people with certain health conditions.

For example, it could help to reduce blood sugar and may even alleviate other conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and bone loss. As a result, alkaline water consumption may be an effective means for improving various aspects of your health that you may not have considered.

5. Possible Improvement in Bone Health

Alkaline water sold as bottled water may have particular content minerals that support bone health.

Some of this mineral content may include magnesium sulfate, potassium bicarbonate, calcium chloride, and more. This presence of minerals contributes to your alkaline water supplementation. And as a result of your newly ionized water, you may experience an improvement in your overall bone health.
