Useful Facts About Alkaline Water Los Angeles

By Jason Ward


The word alkaline is normally used when referring to pH level of substances. PH is a number which measures how alkaline or acidic fluids. It is normally given on a scale of 1 to 14. When a fluid has pH of 1 it is very acidic while a pH of 14 is very alkaline. When considering using alkaline water Los Angeles residents need to know about it.

Water with alkaline features has pH level higher than that of waters used for drinking, at 8 or 9. As a result, there is the belief that drinking it neutralizes acids in the body. Normal waters have neutral pH at around 7 or thereabout. The natural waters with alkali features occur when they pass over rocks such as springs and in the process, pick up minerals. It is this that increases their alkalinity. Artificially, alkalinity can be induced using ionizers.

There are many health food stores and groceries which stock such products. Ionizers are sold in most large chain stores. For some individuals, the waters can be made at home. Despite the fact that lime is acidic, it contains minerals which change water composition. When the lemon is squeezed into glass, it will slowly gain alkalinity. The other option would be increasing the alkalinity by adding pH drops. It is more advisable to use distilled waters for making alkaline waters.

There are a number of benefits of taking waters of pH above 7. Detoxification is one such benefit. This happens through the removal of normal acidic wastes that have accumulated over time. Also removed are toxins that have accumulated in the body from the environment and prescription drugs. Acids accumulating in the body lead to serious health conditions. Alkalinity will solve all this through neutralization of the acidity.

When there is high pH, the waters will act as an antioxidant and help in neutralizing free radicals. Alkaline water gives up some free electrons which means they are able to effectively neutralize any free radicals and prevent any damage to the body. When the waters are iodized, they get to seek free radicals which they convert into oxygen. This oxygen is used for production of energy.

It will help in maximizing ability of the immune system. It will be able to fight infections in better way. The pH imbalance caused by the acidic wastes will make body cells suffocate. It will lead to these cells beginning to break down before dying. The immune system thus gets weakened by this breakdown of cells. Alkalinity will rejuvenate the immune systems and make it to work well.

There has not been any evidence on if alkalinity of waters helps in medicinal purposes. It has been suggested most of the claims are mostly used by marketers for the purpose of boosting sales. Nevertheless, drinking these waters is safe and maybe recommended because of the minerals they have. There should be caution when drinking alkaline water that is artificially induced.

There are also arguments on the side of effects of excess alkalinity. Generally, the body maintains its pH at close to 7. Consistently taking waters of pH 8 or 9 will create an imbalance which forces the body to work harder to get back to neutral.
