Alkaline water
Alkaline water - water that has been treated to have a higher pH level than the 6.5-7.5 pH range - is experiencing a surge in popularity.
There are a variety of alkaline water brands on the market. One brand achieved a pH of 9.5 after putting regular water through an ionizing process that removes acidic components.

Marketing claims
Marketing claims behind alkaline water are based on the acid-ash hypothesis. The idea is that eating certain foods, like meat, dairy, and eggs, results in acid ash in your body, which increases your acid levels and causes health problems.
While there are some poorly designed studies that suggest alkaline water confers health benefits, there is no rigorous scientific evidence to support this belief.

The science behind blood pH
You can't change the pH of your body by drinking alkaline water. Your body regulates its blood pH in a very narrow margin. If your pH varied too much, you wouldn't survive.
However, your diet does affect the pH of your urine. Most people's urine is about 6, which is acidic and not a problem. Alkaline may make your urine less acidic, but it doesn't make a difference to your health.

The popularity of alkaline water
Alkaline water is so popular because it is a sciency-y idea that sounds plausible. There is a thirst for unique strategies for maximizing health and avoiding disease.
Alkaline water is also part of a rising connoisseurship around water. Bottled water became the number one drink in the US for the first time in history. Those who feel healthier are probably drinking more water than they were before, which is a good thing.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
