Alkaline water has a higher PH than regular bottled water, which contributes to reducing the acidity levels in your body. According to the Healthline online article, "Ph" is a term referring to the levels of acid or alkaline a substance contains; this is measured from 0 to 14. The lower the number, the more acidic. Healthline reveals that "normal drinking water generally has a neutral pH of 7; alkaline water typically has a pH of 8 or 9." Results show that alkaline water is more beneficial because it is able to effectively neutralize the acid in your body compared to other waters.

In a Newsmax health review, a co-author of The pH Miracle, Robert O. Young, expresses that too much acid in the body can result in a loss of energy, an increase in fatigue, and drowsiness. As it is established that alkaline water is an exceptional source for reversing acidic levels in the body, it can also restore energy levels that were withdrawn.

Based on the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, alkaline water has an increasing hydrating effect through blood viscosity compared to regular water. Blood viscosity is the level of hydration being measured. When you have low blood viscosity, your hydration level should be higher. In this case study, participants were given water to drink after their workout, half alkaline water, half regular purified water. Those who consumed alkaline water had their viscosity reduced to about 6.30% compared to those who consumed regular water, with their reduction averaging 3.36%.

Almost half of our body is made up of water, which is essential to keeping our organs healthy and functioning correctly. “If your water content decreases in any particular body parts [such as skin, muscles, and organs], then the health of these specific parts of your body would decrease,” according to the Alkaline Water Plus article; “you’d look and feel less youthful and more aged.” Alkaline water is suggested as containing antioxidants to extensively hydrate and filter out free radicals in your body, halting the aging process of cells by keeping them healthy.
