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.

Is Water Really Beneficial for Health?

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia - Drinking alkaline water is busy discussed. The reason, drink water with a higher pH is claimed to have many health benefits. In fact, can cure various chronic diseases. Is that right?Some brands of alkaline water claim their production is water that is processed through Japanese technological tools so as to achieve pH 8 to 9. For information, the pH of drinking water should range from 6.5 to 8.5. High pH in drinking water is claimed to make blood pH also become alkaline or alkaline, which is believed to make the body healthier."That's not the principle. blood pH is neutral. If the blood pH is acidic or alkaline, the organ is the lungs and kidneys, not from the water we drink, "said Samuel Oetoro, a clinical nutrition specialist from Siloam Hospital, Jakarta, when contacted by CNN Indonesia on Wednesday (14/1).
Samuel explained, blood pH is not influenced by the drink you consume. Medically, every drink and food you consume will enter the stomach. There, food and drink will meet a very strong gastric acid, with a pH of 2 to 3. That is, out of the stomach food and drinks that have been digested will be acidic.Food and drink will then go down to the intestine. Here, the pH will be neutral. Well, the results of this digestive process that will be absorbed by the body."There is no effect to the body. (Alkaline water) is not harmful, just no effect whatsoever, "said Samuel.Normally, blood pH is regulated by lung and kidney organs. According to Samuel, the new body needs help to regulate blood pH when in critical condition, when the lung organ and kidney do not function properly."But the liquid was put through the IV, so it went straight into the blood instead of the water it drank," Samuel said. "Alkaline water is expensive. There is no danger, but in vain, no use, "he continued.
