What is Alkaline Water

Our body works best when it is in balance. Neither very acidic nor very alkaline.

With the current lifestyle that the majority of the population leads (which includes a poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, stress, environmental pollution), we have become excessively acidic. And as Dr. Ottoo Warburg (1931 Nobel Prize in Medicine) said, an acidified cellular environment is poor in oxygen and therefore favors carcinogenic processes.

”No disease, including cancer, can survive in an alkaline environment ” Dr. Otto Warburg.

We must remember that our body is made up of 70% water and it is vitally important to stay hydrated. If we change that water every day, cells, fluids and organs will be cleaner because it will help them eliminate waste substances.

Drinking alkaline water on a regular basis helps us maintain a balance, making it easier for the body to perform its function of eliminating waste.

What Is PH?

To understand what alkaline water is, we will first refer to the concept of pH.

The acronym “pH” stands for Hydrogen Ion Potential and indicates the concentration of hydronium ions present in certain solutions. This term was coined by the Danish Chemist Søren Peter Lauritz Sørensen and in 1909 he defined it as the opposite of the logarithm based on 10 of the activity of hydrogen ions. This logarithmic scale goes from the number 0 to the number 14. The number 7 is considered a neutral value. A value under 7 is considered acidic and values ​​above 7 are considered alkaline. Therefore it is a measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

Alkaline water is that which has a pH above the value 7 on this logarithmic scale. The higher the pH value, the higher the alkalinity capacity. So in order to obtain the benefits of drinking alkaline water, it must have a pH above 7, ideally between 8 and 9.5 to maintain the slightly alkaline pH of the body.

The filter of the Alkanatur Jar, performs an alkalization process (in this case a filter with ionized with alkalizing minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium) obtaining a water with a pH 8 and 9.5.

Benefits Of Alkaline Water

  • It rebalances the body pH that is often altered (acid) by the current lifestyle (sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, stress, environmental pollution).
  • It provides an antioxidant effect so it helps our cells to easily get rid of free radicals.
  • It provides better hydration thanks to the ionization process that breaks the water groups to a much smaller size making it much more absorbable for the cells as they pass through the membranes without difficulty.
  • Helps oxygenate cells.
  • Prevention of diseases (many times related to excess acidity and lack of oxygen in our cells).

How To Measure The PH?

When you receive the Alkanatur Jug, you will find test tapes with which you can measure the ph of urine and saliva along with a color scale that corresponds to the different ph values.

To measure the pH, try to do it on an empty stomach and for two or three days in a row so that you can take the average of the pH obtained on those days.

You should wet the test strip with saliva or urine on the colored part. Wait about 15 seconds for the reagent to take effect and compare the color obtained with the scale to the closest color.

The ideal pH value in urine is 6.5 and 7.25 and for saliva between 7 and 7.5
