alkaline water is water that has been specially treated to give it a pH higher than 7. The main function of alkaline water is to neutralize excessive acidic substances in the body, thereby improving the acid-base balance in the body. So, who is alkaline water suitable for?
Generally speaking, the following groups of people can drink alkaline water appropriately:
- People who have been engaged in high-intensity or high-temperature work or sports for a long time, who are prone to sweating and deplete electrolytes in the body.
- People who eat high-protein, high-fat, high-sugar or processed food for a long time, resulting in excessive acidic metabolic waste in the body.
- Those who suffer from digestive system diseases such as hyperacidity, gastric ulcer, gastritis, etc. and need to neutralize gastric acid.
- People who suffer from urinary tract infection, uric acid stones, gout and other urinary system diseases and need to reduce the acidity of urine.
- People who suffer from chronic metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, and need to adjust blood pH.
Of course, not everyone is suitable for drinking alkaline water. The following groups of people should avoid or drink alkaline water in small amounts:
- For people with alkaline or normal constitution, drinking too much alkaline water may lead to the lack of necessary acidic substances in the body, affecting normal physiological functions.
- For people suffering from electrolyte disturbances such as hypotension, hypokalemia, and hypocalcemia, drinking too much alkaline water may aggravate these symptoms and even cause dangers such as arrhythmia.
- For pregnant and breastfeeding women, drinking too much alkaline water may affect the growth and development of the fetus and infant, resulting in malnutrition or deficiency.
- For children and the elderly, drinking too much alkaline water may affect their digestion and absorption, resulting in nutritional deficiencies or imbalances.
In conclusion, alkaline water is not a panacea, nor is it suitable for everyone. Before choosing to drink alkaline water, it is best to understand your own constitution and health status, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of alkaline water. If necessary, you can consult a professional doctor or nutritionist to develop a reasonable drinking water plan according to your individual situation. At the same time, we should also pay attention to a balanced diet and keep exercising in order to truly achieve the goal of health.
