Alkaline water is the fancy cousin who just came back from a yoga retreat. It’s not just water; it’s water with an attitude.
Remember learning about pH in high school? Purified water has a neutral pH of 7. Alkaline water has a higher pH, usually between 8 and 9. The idea is that it can help neutralize acid in your body, which sounds pretty cool, right?
It also contains minerals like calcium and magnesium, which makes it feel a bit smoother and “wetter” when you drink it. Imagine the difference between a plain cracker and a cracker with a little butter; that’s the vibe change.
