It goes without saying that drinking the recommended eight glasses of water per day is beneficial to your health. After all, staying hydrated can boost your productivity, mood, memory, energy level, and clarity. 

However, did you know that there’s an “upgraded” version of your drinking water? Not only will this hydrate you faster and longer than regular drinking water, but will also improve your blood, bone, and organ health.

Introducing Earths Water alkaline water, Australia’s leading supplier of alkaline water filters.

How is Alkaline Water Created?

Before delving into the benefits of alkaline water, it’s important to understand what alkaline water means. For starters, alkaline water has a higher pH level than plain tap water. This means that the alkaline water can help neutralise the acid in the bloodstream, resulting in several health benefits.

There are many natural and artificial ways to produce alkaline water. These are all thanks to water electrolysis, the process that separates the acidic and alkaline components of water, producing alkaline water as a by-product. 

One of the most natural ways of producing alkaline water is by natural water flowing through rocks and natural materials, collecting minerals along the way, and producing alkaline water. Similarly, electrolysed water can be generated from minerals that are highly saturated with hydrogen, such as calcium and magnesium.

Earths Water mimics the natural process of water alkalinisation through its state-of-the-art water filters equipped with a proprietary filtration process which includes natural coconut shell activated carbon and ion-exchange resin as its main components.

What Nutrients are in Alkaline Water?

The notion that alkaline water is medicinal, curative, and capable of achieving optimal health is based on research that shows acidic properties in the body and blood are the source of illness and disease. Therefore, they must be neutralised by a highly alkaline material, such as alkaline water. As a result, having a more alkaline body will result in better health.

Four major minerals contribute to the outstanding health benefits of alkaline water. These include:

  • Calcium - vital for health, muscle, and nerve function, especially bone health
  • Magnesium - turns food into energy and is vital for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body
  • Potassium - a type of electrolyte needed for muscle function and healthy digestion
  • Sodium - regulates blood volume and pressure, as well as supports nerve and muscle functions
  •  

    What are the Health Benefits of Alkaline Water?

    Given the four powerful nutrients that can be found in alkaline water, it’s no surprise that it hosts a variety of health benefits, such as:

    • Aids in body detoxification

    According to one study, maintaining an alkaline environment is beneficial in detoxification. By adjusting one’s tissue alkalinity, the body effectively excretes toxins.

    • Treats acid reflux

    Alkaline water may neutralise stomach acid, therefore alleviating symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn. This works by alkaline water acting as a buffer against hydrochloric acid, the stomach acid that aids digestion and causes acid reflux in large volumes.

    • Aids in weight loss

    According to one study, alkaline water supplementation can have a positive effect on an individual's body weight. This is because alkaline water helps in increasing one’s metabolism.

    • Helps in diabetes treatment

    According to one study, alkaline water can lower blood glucose levels. It may also be used to treat high cholesterol, which is frequently associated with diabetes. Another study also suggests that alkaline water may also improve blood viscosity in diabetics, which may improve their overall health.

    • Regulates cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar

    In 2016, researchers in Shanghai discovered that people with high blood pressure (hypertension), high blood sugar (diabetes), and high blood lipids (cholesterol) had lower measures in each of these factors three to six months after drinking alkaline water. 

    Researchers also discovered that high-pH electrolyte water reduced blood viscosity, the thickness and stickiness of your blood, in 100 adults after exercising. This may aid in reducing cardiovascular strain caused by dehydration.

    • Relieves pain and improves energy levels

    Evidence suggests that drinking alkaline water can help with pain and energy. It can also help to lubricate the muscles.

    This means that alkaline water can help in the treatment of fibromyalgia, which is a chronic condition that causes severe musculoskeletal pain and fatigue.

    • Improves bone health

    Some studies have found that the consumption of alkaline products may benefit bone health. This is because elevated acid levels can weaken bones over time, increasing the likelihood of fractures. Since alkaline water can lower acid levels, it can indirectly prevent this.

    According to another study that examined a population’s overall diet, a more alkaline diet could protect the bones. This was proven by subjects who drank alkaline water and exhibited less bone breakdown and a significant reduction in bone loss through urine. 

    • Can treat ovarian cysts

    According to evidence, drinking alkaline water can dissolve cysts and treat the condition. Another study also suggests that alkaline water can improve the bodily imbalances caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and thus improve the patients' fertility.

    • Helpful for pregnancy

    Some sources suggest that pregnant women who drink alkaline water may have a smoother delivery and increased lactation. Jaundice cases have also decreased.

    According to another study, drinking alkaline water has significant biological effects on postnatal growth. 

    • Helps in the treatment of skin diseases

    Drinking alkaline water aids in the treatment of skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis. It can also help with acne. Even bathing with alkaline water can nourish the skin and offer anti-aging benefits.

    • Boosts hair growth

    Alkaline water can increase blood circulation in different parts of the body, such as the head, improving overall hair health and growth.

    • What does alkaline water taste like?

    Alkaline water tastes like natural artesian spring water. It has a deeply refreshing and smooth texture with a slightly sweeter and more satisfying flavour than plain water.

    • Is alkaline water good for me?

    Alkaline water has a higher pH than regular tap water. Due to its higher pH, it can neutralise the acid in your bloodstream, the latter considered to be the main cause of illness and diseases in the body. Once neutralised by alkaline water, this results in enormous health benefits such as the prevention of diseases like diabetes and heart problems.

    • Can I drink alkaline water anytime?

    You can start your day by drinking alkaline water and continuing for the rest of the day. You can easily incorporate it into your morning routine by keeping a small glass of alkaline water next to your bed.

    Alkaline water is also an excellent workout partner. Since a strenuous workout depletes fluids quickly, rehydrating yourself with alkaline water guarantees fluid retention. Sips can be taken before, during, and after your workout.

    • How much alkaline water can I drink in a day?

    To reap the most benefits, drink eight to twelve glasses (or two to three litres) of alkaline water per day. However, be sure not to make a sudden change. Instead, you can gradually increase your alkaline water intake and help your body in gradually adjusting to the changes in your body's pH levels.

    • How is alkaline water related to an alkaline diet?

    The alkaline diet is based on the concept that the food you consume changes your pH level from acidic to alkaline. The belief is that eating too many acidic foods will harm your body, whereas eating alkaline or neutral foods will improve your health.

    The diet focuses on eating alkaline fruits and vegetables to keep your body at an optimal pH level.

    Since alkaline water follows the same pH requirement as the food recommendations in the alkaline diet, this makes it an ideal choice for staying hydrated.

    • Why should I use Earths Water’s alkaline water filters in producing alkaline water?
