Water always contains some dissolved solids including minerals like calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium. Still, alkaline water tends to have more dissolved solids that increase its pH level. Alkaline water dispensed from a suitable water dispenser is water with higher potential hydrogen than regular drinking water.
Regular drinking water is usually neutral with a pH level of 7, and alkaline water is essential with a pH of 8 or 9.
Benefits of Alkaline water
The idea that alkaline water is curative, medicinal and able to bring about optimal health seems to be based on the belief that acidic properties in the body and blood cause ill health and disease and need to be neutralized. So, a more alkaline body will lead to better health.
Alkaline water contains four main minerals that contribute to its remarkable health benefits:
1. Calcium: Calcium is essential for the health of the bone, heart, muscle and nerve function.
2. Magnesium: It helps turn the food into energy and is required for over 300 bio chemical reactions in the body.
3. Sodium: This mineral regulates blood pressure and volume and supports the function of nerves and muscles.
4. Potassium: It is a kind of electrolyte that is important for muscle function and promotes healthy digestion.
Proven health benefits of drinking alkaline water:
1. Improve bone health: Some research has been done on the effects of alkaline intake on the bones. The alkaline water, rich in bicarbonate and calcium from the Alkaline Water Dispenser, reduces bone resorption more than calcium-rich acidic mineral water.
2. Relaxes acid reflux: As per the research, drinking alkaline water at pH 8.8 can help soothe the acid reflux because the higher pH levels kill pepsin, an enzyme involved in breaking down food proteins and the leading cause of acid reflux. Acid reflux happens when the acidic materials of the stomach bounce back up the food pipe.
3. Reduce high blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol: As per the research, high pH electrolyte water reduces blood viscosity and the blood's thickness and stickiness.
4. Enhance hydration: As per the study, drinking alkaline water increases hydrogen, providing greater hydration than regular water, especially after a hard workout.
