Some say drinking alkaline water is beneficial for health. This has to do with maintaining body pH so the body does not become acidic. Others claim that body pH is naturally maintained.
Everything a person eats contributes to the acidity levels of the body. Alkaline water is useful because it keeps the acid in the body neutral. For a healthy body, a pH level of 7.0 to 7.2 should be maintained. Drinking alkaline water can help you maintain those levels. Alkaline water is also effective in preventing the growth of cancer cells.
