What are alkaline water and acidic water?

Have you ever heard the concept of pH in water? If not, then let us discuss it here. The idea of pH is important because it is the sole criteria in determining whether the water is alkaline or acidic.

pH is the concentration of hydrogen ions in a liquid solution. A pH scale determines the pH of water. A pH scale has a range number starting from 1 to 14. The range from 1 to 6 indicates that the solution is acidic, while the range 8 to 14 indicates the alkalinity of a solution. The pH number 7 shows that the water is neutral, i.e., neither basic nor acidic. E.g., Vinegar's pH is between 2 to 3; therefore, it is acidic, while the pH of bleach is between 11 to 13, it is basic, i.e., alkaline.

Having understood the basic concept of pH, let us start understanding the concept of alkaline and acidic water.

Alkaline water is that water that has the pH above the scale of 7. It is the opposite of acidic water, which has a pH below the scale of 7. Whenever a person feels acidity in their stomach, they are given milk of magnesia mixed in water because of its alkaline nature. Highly acidic water should never be drunk or applied because it causes unbelievable side effects on the body.

Water may either have a low pH or a high pH, but it is essential to note that very high pH and very low pH can be detrimental to health. There are considerable benefits associated with alkaline water and acidic water.

Acidic water not less than the pH scale of 6.5 contains antimicrobial properties and can prove beneficial for skin, hair, and washing products. It is also helpful in treating inflammatory skin diseases and maintaining the optimal pH of hair and scalp. Sometimes due to antimicrobial properties, it is also recommended that fruits and vegetables be washed with acidic water to benefit.

Alkaline water also has some benefits associated with it. Alkaline water helps to slow down the bone loss process. Diseases such as cancer and heart disease are prevented from drinking alkaline water. It can considerably help in neutralizing the acid in the body. Sometimes the basic solution is used as an antiseptic to treat acidic conditions. It acts as a mild solution to treat the digestive system.

So, now you might have understood the concept of alkaline water and acidic water. It would be best if you understood that everything in this world has both associated risks and benefits. So, every time you consume the water solution, do remember the pH so that you can save yourselves from the related dangers.
