Drinking alkaline water daily may support hydration, detoxification, and overall wellness. Over time, many people report increased energy, improved digestion, and enhanced skin health...
Drinking water—whether it’s alkaline, neutral, or even slightly acidic—cannot alter the stomach’s pH. To illustrate this, it only takes a few drops of the stomach’s strongly acidic gastric juices to neutralize a whole bottle or large glass of alkaline ionized water. While drinking alkaline ionized water doesn’t alter stomach pH (which is a good thing), it can assist digestion in several crucial ways. This blog post explains how. The stomach is a muscular, J-shaped organ in the digestive system that stores and mixes food, begins digestion, and controls the release of partially digested food into the small intestine. PH Balance in the Stomach: The stomach contains highly acidic gastric juices and a protective mucous layer. Protein digestion requires acidic conditions. Ionized alkaline water can be beneficial between meals without disrupting digestion. Emerging research shows electrolyzed alkaline water may reduce oxidative stress, improve hydration efficiency, and support acid-base balance.
