Which, in many cases, “creates inflammation which then directly impacts the hair growth cycle," he said, and then continued about the idea behind drinking alkaline water, which is that "you're giving your body a high level of alkaline minerals ready to be used to neutralise those acids so that your body does not have to steal them from other organ systems like your bones, internal organ development, or skin and hair,” he said.
And speaking of skin, a way to stop environmental aggressors from messing with it is via alkaline water, which is a rich source of antioxidants. It is these aggressors that damage your skin’s natural barrier functionality, causing it to age prematurely and cause signs like fine lines and wrinkles to appear. So using alkaline water as part of your beauty routine helps negate these aggressors and keeps your skin’s appearance young and youthful.
But there’s more to it. Drinking alkaline water or washing your face with an alkaline face wash can neutralise acidity and get your oily skin a little under control by restricting the excess sebum production. It also helps in opening up your pores and gives them a deep cleanse.
That’s just the skin and the hair, among its other wellness benefits comes bone health.
Acidosis, a condition where there’s too much acid in the body fluids isn’t one that comes to mind when one thinks of bone-related health issues or osteoporosis to be specific.
In most cases, age and heredity play a part in developing osteoporosis or low bone mass, but a study conducted on postmenopausal women stated that acidic diets have adverse effects on bone health too, which unfortunately is the diet of most of us. The acidic drinks and snacks we eat compel our bodies to work overtime, and Unless we take steps to neutralise these acids, they can damage our health in many ways — and this is the underlying cause of many of our modern health problems.
If the kidneys face excessive acid levels or insufficient buffering minerals in the blood and tissues, then the body is forced to draw alkalizing minerals first from the blood, then, if necessary, from tissues such as muscle, and ultimately from the bone stores.
To keep the balance, our bodies will remove vital elements from the bones, such as iron and calcium, to achieve that equilibrium. Mineral loss causes a decline in bone strength, leading to osteoporosis.
