Nowadays, a lot of doctors
and dieticians are recommending alkaline water, for drinking purpose, for
healthy living. But, is it that beneficial to our health that a good chunk of
earning should be invested on costly Alkaline Water Ionizer? To know that, let's begin with what exactly alkaline
water is and then subsequently will arrive at the conclusion whether water
ionizer worth it or not.
So, what alkaline water, is?
Alkalinity is a
characteristic that neutralizes the acid. Thus alkaline water can be defined as
the water with the acid neutralizing agent. The water with more than 7 as a pH
value is regarded as alkaline water. It is naturally available as spring
water. Before entering the spring water
runs over the number of mineral rocks whose components gets mixed into water,
making it alkaline. This water has a pH value of 8 or 8.5.
This mineralized water is really good for
health as it helps to maintain the right pH value of the body. But, the natural
alkaline water is very rare to find. Thus, as a substitute, Alkaline Water Ionizer was introduced
to have alkaline water. Though with the alkaline water machine, alkalinity is
achieved it is too high to be good, and in the process of generation of
alkalinity a lot of vital nutrients gets filtered or distorted. Let's see how?
Alkaline Water Machine
Every water ionizers begin with water purification or filtration. This is
done basically to remove impurities from the water. But when water gets
distilled, some of the necessary minerals gets blocked in the filter or died by
the activated carbon or reverse osmosis, whatever is the mechanism of the
model.
Secondly, it is also
observed that the purification process is not always entirely successful. This
is to say that, there are some hard impurities such as pharmaceutical that
remains in the water, even after the filtration.
After purification, water
is either added with synthetic alkaline agents or run over plates with
electromagnetic fields. These plates and agents increase the alkalinity but are
also bound to leave toxins in the water. Thus treated water can have ill health
effects rather than the aimed benefits.
Thus whether alkaline
water ionizers are good or bad, it is yet to be studied and researched. But,
surely, as the studies suggest, alkaline water is good for health due to its
acid neutralizing property and curing ability.
