The benefits and dangers of alkali

Alkaline water is water that has been separated through electrolysis process, so water will be divided into two parts namely acid and base, especially separation of magnesium and calcium in water content.The alkaline water itself refers to the Ph or potential hydrogen present in the water content. As we know that the range of Ph is 0 to 14. Water is said to be base if it has Ph between 0 to 6.9 whereas water is said to be neutral when it has Ph 7. Meanwhile the water in nature has a Ph range of 7.1 to 9, and which is recommended for consumption according to WHO is water having Ph 6.5 to 8. Then how many Ph is owned by alkaline water? According to Robert Slovak, an engineer in Aeronautical and Astronautical United States, alkaline water has Ph above 7.According to him, alkaline water with high Ph does not guarantee acid neutrality in the stomach because the acid neutralizing process lasts only a few seconds in the electrolysis process. The alkali ionizer process is also influenced by water sources for alkalinity, for example tap water. Ionizers in alkali do not give effect in acid-base balance in the body, there is a source of acid enough neutralize to create alkalinity in the body.One of the alkaline water users is Suhariadi (60), who has been consuming alkaline water for the past 2 years. "For about 2 years I have used alkaline water. Usually I gunkan unt. ", He said.Our body is actually designed to consume water that is not too acidic and not too alkaline. If we continue to consume alkaline water, it is feared could damage the level of acidity in our stomach. As a result interferes with its ability to digest food, disrupt the stomach acid and open the door for parasites in the small intestine and protein digestion difficulty problems in our bodies.The researchers recommend that we consume pure water, not too acidic and not too alkaline. The recommended range is water that has Ph 7 or above 7. Therefore it is wise in consuming water so it can support the health of our body so that we can avoid various diseases.
