How to make my own ‘Alkaline Water’?

[Rasheed]

  What is the best way to turn normal water into natural alkaline water? What is the best recipe? 

[pluto]

Don't worry about Alkaline water. Eat Alkaline forming fruit and vegetables. Water in nature and natural springs is slightly acidic and in some rare cases balanced PH but 6 - 7 PH is good. Always drinking alkaline water is not wise because its not natural to the body and will make your body function in an alienated way over time.

Distilled/Purified and or Fresh Natural Spring water is best.

Hope this helps

Thank you! 

 I thought we needed to drink alkaline water. Ralph Smart advises to drink litres of ph 9-10 water. Therefore I asked this question. 

 Is it good to filter the tap water and drink it? Will it make it less acidic and flush out flouride?

 I have seen on YouTube, Yogi advise to drink water with one slice of lime and two slices of cucumbers, it will make it more alkaline, what do you think about that?

Alkaline water is definitely better to drink then regular bottled or tap water but it does not seem wise long term/all the time. More importantly focus on alkalizing fruits and vegetables as they have the most "living" and "structured" water that the body recognizes and utilizes best.

Regular filters will not remove fluoride, only really expensive ones like whole house reverse osmosis and such but i have heard many great reviews on the (AlkaWay UltraStream) which does filter out fluoride and most of the other nasty things and it is an Alkaline based system so overall it would still be much better than tap water.

I personally prefer distilled/purified water and occasional rain water and sometimes i add lemon/lime to the waters or Himalayan sea salt for minerals and electrolytes and to create an alkalizing effect like you mentioned but as long as you consume a generous amount of RAW fruits and or vegetables daily which are very high in water content, you will be getting the best source of hydration in the world, especially if they are grown naturally and organically.

I rarely drink water when i eat a lot of fruits, especially in the warmer seasons because there is no need. These are just my 2 cents, always go by what you feel and believe is working best for you. One step at a time, trial and error, practice makes perfect

Hope this helps @Rasheed

Agreed with Pluto, it is best to focus on alkaline aspects of the diet and make sure that your water is as purified as possible without needing to alter the PH. 

The concern with alkalizing water is that you are massively diluting your stomach acid and alkalizing an environment that is supposed to be acidic. This pushes your body to work harder to compensate. It impacts your first line of digestion and also makes it easier for ingested pathogens to enter the body as they will not be destroyed by the hydrochloric acid as they would normally be.
