Making your drinking water healthier

In summary, it is becoming increasingly clear that OS is an essential factor that contributes towards the pathogenesis and symptoms associated with GI diseases, which greatly inconvenience affected individuals worldwide. Emerging scientific studies support ARW as well-known functional drinking water with significant therapeutic value, including the scavenging of free radicals and reduction of inflammation. It is a useful adjunct for treating OS-induced diseases, including GI diseases.

Drinking alkaline water in amounts of 4.0 l per day shows a positive effect on hydration status after anaerobic exercise with a significant decrease of specific urine gravity. Intake of alkaline water also shows a positive effect on urine pH during the anaerobic test protocol, and much more efficient lactate utilization after the high-intensity interval exercise. The consumption of alkaline water was associated with improved acid-base balance and hydration status. In contrast, subjects who con

In conclusion, the present study showed that a bicarbonate- and calcium-rich alkali mineral water decreased bone resorption more than a calcium-rich acidic mineral water, in healthy pre-menopausal subjects on a calcium sufficient balanced diet.

"The results showed that alkaline water consumption (combination PH 9.5 and PH 11.5) during 14 days, was effective to decrease random blood sugar levels in diabetes mellitus type 2 with difference of random blood sugar mean equal to 14.85714 and probability value 0.001".

This study was designed to characterize differences between ALK and CON in terms of intravascular hydration as quantified by serial changes in systolic blood viscosity following exercise-induced dehydration. Drinking high-pH ALK was shown to reduce systolic blood viscosity significantly more than CON consumption following exercise-induced dehydration, when comparing the percent change in WBV from a dehydrated state to 120 min after rehydration and recovery. A mixed model analyses validated this

This work examines the potential for cancer risk or tumor promoting consequences of diet-induced acidosis. Although protein is a major factor involved in promoting endogenous acid production, it should be made clear that attenuation of protein consumption is not a recommended dietary strategy for attaining improved acid-base balance. There is scientific evidence supporting the concept that appropriate alkali supplementation in the form of fruits and vegetables serves aptly to neutralize excess

Acidic Water Bathing Could Be a Safe and Effective Therapeutic Modality for Severe and Refractory Atopic Dermatitis

More recently, studies were carried out on alkaline reduced water (ARW), referring to electrolyzed water produced from minerals, such as magnesium and calcium, which is characterized by supersaturated hydrogen, high pH, and a negative redox potential. This hydrogen-rich functional water has been introduced as a therapeutic strategy for health promotion and disease prevention [4].

We investigated the effectiveness of alkaline ionized water (AIW) in preventing the occurrence of dental erosion caused by acidic beverages. We confirmed that the Es pH, which was lowered by the ingestion of cola or a sports drink, was rapidly increased by the ingestion of AIW. Therefore, AIW was shown to be useful in preventing dental erosion caused by acidic beverages. We recommend the intake of a sufficient amount of AIW after ingesting acidic foods and drinks.
