Why tf would drinking alkaline water be good for you? I believe it would be bad for u in the long-term, cos that would make ur body produce more stomach acid since it constantly gets neutralized, or am I wrong here?
It’s marketing bs because there is pseudoscience that the cause of cancer and other illnesses is from acids and alkaline water will prevent you from those illnesses even though it’s completely bunk and push by the same people who think essential oils can heal you too
It can be handy in the short term. After a few days of greasy festival food my gerd was acting up (it was worth it), so I got some alkaline water to sip on the long drive home, and it helped keep things a little calmer. Long term though there’s no reason for it.
It is good for reflux, as it helps to remove acidity from the esophagus.
But after it gets to the stomach and meets your stomach acid, it doesn’t matter. It’s not gonna change stomach acidity or pH level in intestines, but can help with reflux symptoms and avoid esophagal erosion (which can lead to cancer).
So it’s something that is useful, but for different reasons than most people think.
If you can't sleep 8 hours within a 30 day period, you should seek medical help. I can sleep 8+ hours in just a week, and I'm not even that good at sleeping.
I think the mediate 10 minutes is something thst turns a lot of people off but the secret is you just have to sit quietly not thinking about much. That's what's important
I do all of these except for the last two and I have been genuinely unrecognizable by people I once knew. Though I don't really check the pH of the water I drink, I just make sure it is water that is safe to drink. The funniest encounter I've had though was my sister, who I don't have much contact with, who seemed unsure if it was even me at first.

Protip: if you can drink really high pH water you'll only have to do this for one day

Sorry, I can't understand you with that gaping, smoldering puddle where your lower jaw and esophagus used to be. Can you repeat that?

If you use sodium hydroxide to raise your the ph of the water, you can also make yourself into soap!
Edit: e tú, autocorrect?

This one always makes me crazy. Our stomachs work to keep an acidic environment for our protection and digestion.
Hey! Maybe I should sand off the skin on my body to get more vitamin D when I sunbathe!

Wouldn’t a Tums be just as effective? And cheaper?

You really have a problem with the alkaline water and not cutting someone's face and sewing in place of yours?

You do you, but I'm going to stick with the recommendation of one per day. Any more than that just seems wasteful.

It's probably meant to say"no excessive sugar" which isn't a lot

Probably no refined sugars; so no eating processed foods.
