Alkaline Water – is it good for you or just another fad?
Alkaline water is one of those topics that creates a lot of attention. If you look on the internet, you will see multiple articles touting its benefits and several refuting them.
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view, the internet provides a forum for anyone to say anything. Many people just don’t have a clue, yet they spout off like “they wrote the book”, the “gospel according to ….”
Regarding alkaline water, you can find marketing claims and physicians studies proclaiming the wonders and health benefits of drinking it, and, you can find claims by self-appointed experts and physicians claiming it is all a “bunch of hooey”.
So who do you believe? Clearly, one side is right, the other not. How do you know which is one is right?
The human body is an amazing creation and reacts differently in different situations and from one person to another. I think that there are three good indicators of the benefits of alkaline water.
- First, in many countries, most notably, Japan, Water Ionizers are considered medical devices and alkaline water is used to treat illnesses. Sound medical research points to the hydrating and acid buffering effects of the micro-clustered water produced by these devices. Here in the U.S., largely due to pressure from the pharmaceutical industry, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) won’t allow medical claims.
- Second, The Hunza People from a valley in Northern Pakistan are uniquely healthy and free of disease. The people of the Hunza valley drink alkaline and ionized water that naturally occurs. Dr. Henri Coanda, a Nobel Prize winner, spent six decades studying the Hunza water to determine what it was in this water that caused such beneficial effects for the body. Dr. Patrick Flanagan and others continued the research. They found Hunza water had a high alkaline pH and an extraordinary amount of active hydrogen (hydrogen with an extra electron), with a negative Redox Potential and a high colloidal mineral content. The water provides health benefits that other types of drinking water cannot.
- Finally, and most important is the anecdotal stories of thousands of people, who, along with their physicians, report amazing stories of healing and general good health after starting to drink alkaline water. They report tumors shrinking, relief of symptoms from diseases such as diabetes, immune diseases, allergies, gout, cancers and many more.
It is believed that the reason is that by being properly alkaline balanced, hydrated, and by getting enough anti-oxidants, your body can help heal itself.
So, is it a fad? Or is it good for you? You will have to answer that for yourself, but the bottom line is that drinking alkaline water has many potential benefits and virtually no downside.
