Some people believe that alkaline water helps our bodies metabolize nutrients and expel toxins more efficiently than regular tap water, leading to better health and performance. Anecdotal evidence supports some of those claims. But so far, we donât have solid data supporting alkaline waterâs use.
Alkaline water is simply water that has been altered to increase its pH. Proponents claim that alkaline water has many health benefits, and helps keep the body in an alkaline state. However, the body has systems that keep its pH in tight control, regardless of the kind of water that you drink.
