How To Make Alkaline Water

Do you want to know how to make alkaline water?

Are you looking for the easiest DIY way to make alkaline water safely at home to enjoy the healthy nutrition effects and benefits alkaline water can offer?

One of the major causes of illness and aging is what sort of toxins and substances we allow into our bodies. Poor diet, stress, and pollution in our environment all contribute to sickness and premature aging.

To counteract all these factors, it’s important that we use antioxidants, which are substances that can remove unstable particles from our bodies. Known as “free radicals,” these particles can wreak havoc by disrupting biochemical processes and even killing healthy cells.

Thankfully, one way to do this is through drinking alkaline water.

Make Alkaline Water At Home

Many people think that you need to buy alkaline water from a special supplier, but the truth is, you can make it in your own home, practically on your kitchen counter top.

Make Alkaline Water with Ionizers

Any of these units will give you an easy and super convenient way to enjoy ionized alkaline water in the comfort of your own home, provided that you don't mind the high price-point.

*BESTSELLERS*

Installing ionizers or ionizing filters may seem expensive, but they are also the most effective ways to alkalize water for use at home.

In the case of water ionizers, the end-product will be two batches of water, a larger part of which will be alkaline water. The acidic water that makes up the much smaller second batch is also useful, as you can use it as part of your bathing water. Acidic water is particularly effective in killing bacteria.

***NOTE: Making alkaline water for your home is easy enough using simpler methods like using baking soda, lemons, or pH drops, but if you need a reliable source of alkaline water ON DEMAND, a full ionizer home system will always be best.

Make Alkaline Water with Using pH drops

For a more scientific approach, you can easily buy pH-adjusting chemical drops online. Here are some options below: 

*BESTSELLERS*

These usually contain highly-concentrated alkaline minerals. Always make sure to follow the instructions that come with the drops to the letter.

Do note that while pH drops will alkalize your water, it will not filter out particles, and neither will it affect chlorine and fluorine levels in your water. It’s best to alkalize filtered water, if you are using this method.

Make Alkaline Water with Baking Soda

Baking soda has a high alkaline rating, so using it to alkalize water is a logical idea. The proper ratio is an eighth of a tablespoon for every eight ounces of water. The only drawback, however, is that baking soda is high in sodium, and this option won’t work if you or any member of your family is on a low-sodium diet.

Make Alkaline Water with Lemons

Lemons – or rather, lemon juice – has anionic properties. When you drink water with some lemon juice in it, your body reacts with the lemon juice to make the water alkaline as it is being digested.

All it takes is to simply add them to your water. If you are not on a low-sodium diet, you can add a tablespoon of sea salt, so your alkaline water is mineralized.

​

All you have to do is fill a pitcher with filtered water, and then cut one lemon into eight pieces. Add the cut lemon pieces to the water, but don’t squeeze them.  Cover the pitcher and let it sit for eight to twelve hours at room temperature. 

Alkaline water is ionized water, where some of the water molecules are missing or have added electrons. Depending on what the ionized molecules are, you have your acidic or basic levels. In the case of alkaline water, the so-called pH levels are above seven, making the water more basic (from the original term “base,” the opposite of an acid). Due to this change in the water’s pH properties, it’s known that alkaline water, as it is called, has many benefits.

It should be noted, though, that alkaline water isn’t the only water variant there is. Hard water, for example, is saturated with minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium. This type of water is naturally occurring, given that rivers, ground water, and ocean water all have trace minerals.

Distilled water, on the other hand, is as pure as water can get, where you boil water until it produces steam. That steam is then caught with a condenser system, which collects the now-pure water for use.

Alkaline Water Health Benefits

Here are some of the known nutrition benefits of alkaline water:

1. Alkaline Water Can Detoxify

As mentioned before, alkaline water helps detoxify your body, it does this by removing or neutralizing the accumulated acidic waste products in your body, aside from removing the toxins that you are accumulating from your food and your environment. It does this on the cellular level in your tissues, as the alkaline water distributes itself over your body.

2. Alkaline Water Can Hydrate

Speaking of distribution, alkaline water’s ionized nature makes the water molecules form into micro clusters that are more easily absorbed by your body’s cells, allowing your body to absorb water faster. This is particularly important if you are exercising, cleaning up around the house, or if you have health concerns such as diabetes, which requires that water be absorbed rapidly by your body.

3. Alkaline Water Attracts Ionized Particles

Another advantage of alkaline water being ionized is that it attracts other ionized particles in the body, including what we now know as free radicals. Alkaline water effectively renders many free radical particles neutral with the exchange of electrons or by bonding with them. This process usually releases more oxygen, which can be used for biochemical processes.

Make Alkaline Water Today!

Alkaline water can bring you long-term benefits, with each and every glass you drink. Consider all the water everyone of us consumes on a weekly basis. With regular alkaline water consumption in your life, you could be introducing these health effects and benefits into your life without even "feeling it", really. A little every day will go a long way...

We hope this article has been helpful for any of you looking to give alkaline water a try. Happy ionizing!​
