Alkaline water is viewed as being a much healthier alternative than regular tap water or distilled water. Alkaline water is also called ionized water, with a pH typically between 7 and 10. A pH of 8.4 or above is best, states "Fit for Life." A good source of alkaline water is spring water -- usually a pH of 8 to 8.5 -- that naturally becomes alkaline by acquiring minerals as it passes over rocks.
One scientific study in a 2001 issue of "Shanghai Journal of Protective Medicine" found drinking alkaline water for 3 to 6 months lowered cholesterol, blood glucose and blood pressure levels in participants. Another study in the July 2012 edition of "Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology" found water with a pH of 8.8 effectively neutralized stomach acid and pepsin, making it a possible treatment for acid reflux.
Conclusion is that alkaline water can eliminate the harmful elements so treat yourself better and make a change today for yourself.
