Nowadays, be it supermarket or social media, alkaline water everywhere is said to be like a magical drink. Claims are large, they say that it increases energy, reduces age and prevents diseases like cancer. It looks great to hear, because everyone wants a quick and easy treatment. But the question is whether the alkaline water is really so effective or is it just a marketing trick. Let us tell you about it.
What does Alkaline Water actually do?
Whenever a new health trend comes, it is a little true and the rest of the things are exaggerated. Alkaline water is also similar. The biggest advantage of this is that it can reduce stomach acid for a while. Because of this, some people get relief in acidity or reflux, but this effect does not last long.
This water hydrates the body. But the same work also does ordinary water. So far no evidence has been found that alkaline water gives more benefit than ordinary water.
Some research has seen that drinking alkaline water can change the pH of urine. But the pH of the blood of the body never changes. The blood pH of the body is always between 7.35 and 7.45, no matter what we eat and drink.
How did the claim to prevent cancer connect?
In the 1930s, scientist Otto Warberg found that cancer cells thrive in oxygen deficiency and acidic environment. After this, the illusion spread that if the body is made alkaline, the cancer will stop. But the real truth is that cancer cells themselves create acidic atmosphere. The entire body of the body is not acidic. It was here that misunderstanding started. People admitted that if we drink alkaline water, then the pH of the body will change and the cancer will stop. But the reality is that blood does not change so much by eating and drinking.
It is important to understand pH scale
PH scale ranges from 0 to 14.
0 to 6 = acidic
7 = neutral (eg normal water)
8 to 14 = Alkaline
The connection of cancer and alkaline water spread due to explaining this scale in an easy way. While the body controls its pH balance itself.
It is also harmful to be high
Scientists say that alkaline water can stop cancer, there is no such evidence. On the contrary, if the alkaline is very high in the body, then there is a problem called “alcolosis”. In this, the natural balance of the body deteriorates. Due to excessive alkaline, enzymes do not do the right thing, oxygen does not reach the tissue and essential minerals like potassium-calcium are disturbed. This can cause muscle stretch, tingling, vomiting, dizziness and heartburn to heartbeat or seizures.
In ordinary language, alkaline water is not a magical drink. It can neither stop cancer nor is there any proof of giving longevity. Yes, if someone has acidity then you can get some relief. But it is not right to expect more than this.
