Biohacking with Alkaline Water
Acidity and alkalinity, or pH, are measured on a scale of 0-14. Normal drinking water has a neutral pH of 7. Alkaline water typically has a pH of 8 to 9. Drinking alkaline water, or water that has been ionized, daily works to balance the pH of your body and restores your body to a more alkaline state, where disease and sickness cannot thrive in. Benefits of drinking alkaline water are:
Boosts the immune system
Helps with healthy weight loss
Cleanses the colon
Improves hydration and recovery after exercises
Detoxifies the body and neutralize free radicals in our body
Improves skin and hair health with anti-aging properties
