The Uses Of Alkaline Water Los Angeles

By Jason Ward


The word alkalinity is used to refer pH content of various fluids. It is a number that gives measurement of the level of acidity or alkalinity of waters. It is usually on a scale which ranges from 1 to 14. The lower ones, like 1, are for acidity up to 6. When considering alkaline water Los Angeles residents need to be conversant with what is needed.

Alkaline waters have pH levels higher than what people drink normally, with pH levels of 8 or 9. There is the general belief that drinking such waters neutralize acids found in the body. Normal drinking water has pH of approximately 7. Natural waters with alkaline features occur whenever such waters pass of springs or rocks and in the process pick up minerals. It is such kind of process that increases their alkalinity. In artificial cases, alkalinity is induced using ionizers.

There are many grocery and health food stores stocking such products. Ionizers are also sold in many large chain stores. For some people, it can be made from home. Inasmuch as lime or lemon is acidic, it has minerals which are able to change water composition. When you add a squeeze of lemon into a glass, it gains alkalinity. The other option of increasing alkalinity is through addition of pH drops. It is always better to use distilled waters for these procedures.

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.

Higher pH of waters will act as antioxidants and this scavenge for free radicals and neutralize them. The mere fact that these waters are able to give free electrons implies they are able to effectively neutralize the free radicals and save the body from harm. When these waters are iodized, they seek free radicals before converting them into oxygen. This oxygen is used for producing energy.

The waters are believed to help in maximization of functions of the immune system. This will make it better prepared to fight disease. The body imbalance caused by diets that are highly acidic gets neutralized. This leads to breakdown of cells and eventually they will die. The immune system gets weakened because of that.

There has not been enough scientific evidence on whether alkalinity of waters for purposes of treatment actually works. There have been suggestions that most such claims are used by marketers to boost sales. However, drinking such waters is considered safe because it has minerals. Great caution should be taken when drinking artificially induced alkalinity.

There have been some arguments that taking highly alkaline water has negative side effects. This is explained by the fact that body pH is at 7 and it strives to keep it so. Any attempts to take that value beyond 7 makes the body to work harder to take it back to the expected norm.
