water

[levani]

i'm in London mostly so the water here should be good from my research, however some people say the alkilinity and pH of the water is super poor here

 

Evian water has a pH over 7 and alkalinity of over 120 which is apparently the one to go for.

 

so my question is which water is the best to drink and why, (i'm not installing reverse osmosis in my place just yet so that's out of question) and i don't really understand what people mesn when they say "source the water from a bearby spring"

 

also before someone mentioned that jug filter thing, i don't think it's better than Evian but maybe cheaper for sure.

 

I also heard an individual unless a serious athlete should not be consuming more than 2L per day, man or woman. do you find this true ?

Don't worry about alkalinity, the only reason why it matters is that it impacts your digestion. And the more acidic, the better for your digestion when you drink the water before your food - that's why for example ACV helps digestion.

You wanna drink water that is pure, free of fluoride, chloride, and BPA. That matters 100x more than alkalinity.

The 2L per day thing was made up by CocaCola when they started selling bottled water in the 70's. Drink as much as your body asks for.

When food is your source of hydration then you don't need to drink H2O at all, that is, when your diet is based on raw foods - meat, milk, blood and fruit. I find my digestion to be much better without water, which makes sense seeing as water dilutes the stomach acid and bloats you. Also remember that water is a solvent, it solves minerals and you end up excessively peeing them out. The body can't utilize plain H2O as much as it can, say, the water in fruit, that is bound with electrolytes and minerals.

About $300 and an hour or two of your time is all it would take. Maybe less if you get a counter top system. This would provide amazing taste, quality, and convenience.
