Alkaline water is just water with a higher pH level than regular tap water. Think of it as water that’s a little less acidic—like a chill friend compared to a sour lemon.
It’s often made by passing water over minerals or through an ionizer machine. Sometimes, companies add minerals like calcium, magnesium, and yes, sodium to raise the pH.
So if you’re sipping a bottle labeled “alkaline,” you might be getting a tiny pinch of salt without even knowing it. But don’t panic—it’s usually not much.
