WHEN TO DRINK ALKALINE WATER

WHEN TO DRINK ALKALINE WATER

Since bicarbonates enter the bloodstream only when the stomach produces hydrochloric acid, it is important that we drink as high a pH value alkaline water as possible.  I recommend we drink alkaline water on an empty stomach.  On an empty stomach, the stomach pH value may be high but the amount (volume) of hydrochloric acid in the stomach is small; therefore, drinking high pH (9.5 to 10) alkaline water will raise the stomach pH relatively high.  That may cause the stomach to produce more hydrochloric acid, allowing more bicarbonates to enter the bloodstream.

Another possibility is that alkaline water may pass into the intestine immediately, since there is no solid food in the stomach to be digested.  When that happens, the blood will absorb alkaline water into the bloodstream from the intestine.  If alkaline water is introduced directly into the bloodstream from the intestine, the acid buffer (carbonic acid, H2CO3) will interact with the alkaline water to bring down the blood pH and the acid buffer will become the alkaline buffer.

Ca(OH) 2 + 2(H2CO3) = Ca++(HCO3-)2 + 2(H2O)

An increase of bicarbonates in the bloodstream will prevent aging and the onset of adult degenerative diseases.  Now you know the scientific mechanics of how alkaline water extends life. 

The above example is based on calcium hydroxide-rich alkaline water.  This kind of water is produced with a water ionizer because the alkaline mineral in tap water is predominantly calcium.

Alkaline water made with AlkaLife® contains potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide in a patented ratio.  When potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide goes into the bloodstream, again the acid buffer, carbonic acid (H2CO3) reacts with them and they become bicarbonates and water.

KOH + H2CO3 = KHCO3 + H2O

NaOH + H2CO3 = NaHCO3 + H2O

ONLY ALKALINE WATER!

Various kinds of commercially produced water claim health benefits: energy water, Pi water, snow melted water, special spring water, magnetically-treated water, oxygenated water, hexagon structured water, etc.  However, none of them adds bicarbonates to the blood except high pH alkaline water.  When we think of health, we think of diet and exercise.  But no diet or exercise adds bicarbonates to the bloodstream.

Some people argue that we can ingest bicarbonates (baking soda).  It will be like ingesting salt because our stomach acid will break that down into water, carbon dioxide and sodium salt; no bicarbonates will reach the bloodstream.  And we all know what salt can do to the human body.
