Some people believe that alkaline water helps our bodies metabolize nutrients and expel toxins more efficiently than regular tap water, leading to better health and performance. Anecdotal evidence supports some of those claims. But so far, we donât have solid data supporting alkaline waterâs use.
Did you know that water can be either naturally alkaline or artificially alkaline? It's true.

More important, however, is the fact that artificially alkaline water causes side effects and should generally be avoided as a daily drinking water.
