Recently, a water company in Kunming, Yunnan Province, claimed that alkaline water has therapeutic effects. In the home page of the company's official website, slogans such as "alkaline life every day, a new way of quality life" can be seen everywhere, and the company also opens a column to introduce alkaline water and health series of science popularization, alkali treatment and other related content, indicating that drinking alkaline water can "cure diseases" and regulate the body's acid and alkali physique.
1. What kind of water is alkaline water?
Generally speaking, it is to look at the pH of the water, if it is greater than 7, it is alkaline water.
But this is an analysis from common sense. From the national point of view, there is no specific standard, which is equivalent to a common sense judgment.
2. Does alkaline water have special effects?
For some patients with excessive stomach acid or gout, some alkaline components such as sodium bicarbonate may be used clinically to alkalize urine to play a role in neutralizing stomach acid.
But that dose is very large, if you look at the dose alone, theoretically you have to drink more than ten liters of water to reach a prescription dose.
What's more, the two treatment methods I just said are not first-line treatment methods for this disease, that is to say, the effect is not too big.
For healthy people, drinking water normally is to obtain the water itself, and there is no need to obtain any minerals or the like. Alkaline water, in addition to replenishing moisture or some taste, even if there are more minerals or other ingredients in it, will not have any special effect.
First of all, I think that if he does not promote any function, it is equivalent to making the information more transparent, identifying his pH and the like, which is more normal, but it does not matter.
You really don't have to go out of your way to buy alkaline water to drink.
