The difference between weak alkaline water and pure water

Many people have heard that the body has acidity and alkalinity, and weak alkalinity is healthier. Later it was confirmed that this is not the case and it is just a pseudo-scientific statement. Everyone's physical fitness is different, so it cannot be said that an acidic body is healthier or an alkaline body is healthier. Therefore, weak alkaline water has become a kind of health drinking water that has not been proven. There is a big difference between weak alkaline water and purified water, but neither is suitable for long-term drinking.

Can alkaline water improve acidic constitution?

There was a time when alkaline water was very popular, and some people were misled by some exaggerated marketing, thinking that alkaline water could change the acidic physique and was very healthy.

How is that possible?

The first thing to be clear is that the acid-base constitution itself is pseudoscience. No single part of the body can cover the acidity and alkalinity of the entire body. The acidity and alkalinity of different parts of the body are different.

Secondly, the acidity and alkalinity of the human body cannot be changed by food, and the same goes for drinking water. Because the human body has a complete fluid regulation system, it will not be changed by external forces such as diet and drinking water.

The most popular alkaline water is soda water, which is baking soda and is a weakly alkaline water. If you have too much stomach acid, you can drink some to neutralize it.

But if you use soda water to wash your face to whiten your skin, you have to be careful when removing blackheads. You should know that water and oil are incompatible and react extremely slowly. It is very likely that the skin will be burned before the blackheads disappear.

Is drinking purified water harmful?

Purified water is pure H2O, without any taste at all.

Purified water goes through many processes to filter out harmful substances as well as good trace elements. Therefore, it has been criticized for being "harmful if consumed", "nutrient loss if consumed", "mineral deficiency if consumed for a long time", etc.

The truth is, as long as you don't drink it every day, or drink it at one meal and then drink it at the next, the impact on you will be minimal. After all, the human body's nutritional elements are mainly obtained through diet. In addition, studies have shown that drinking some pure water with reduced deuterium, a harmful substance, in the morning and evening will help the body reduce the deuterium content and is beneficial to health.
