Dear Chanzi

"alkaline water" ... "mineral water" includes a wider spectrum of conditions ...

It is advantageous that the water has salts needed by the body, but high values of Na, are not recommended for people with high blood pressure, for example.

The salinity of water for human or livestock consumption vary widely from country to country. In Argentina, the use of bottled water for human consumption, with higher electrical conductivity 1000uS / cm and greater than 8.00 pH is not recommended. Besides ... bottled water should be free of heavy metals, As and other salts .. Sincerely,

JJ

The average pH of a human body is typically lower than the thought of neutral zone, 7 pH. This is due to the many acidic beverages and foods that are consumed. The assumption behind the alkaline bottled water is that it will neutralize or balance the bodies pH making it closer to 7. There are many articles online about this topic, I have shared one that I easily found.

Hi, people!

The human body has several mechanisms of homeostasis to maintain the conditions necessary for life. As you. Know if the blood pH falls,  occurs the release of  some salts such as calcium phosphate, which is used in bone formation. For this reason, the use of Coca Cola and similar beverages is not recommended for children or pregnant women.

However, patients who do not consume Coca Cola or similar, have blood pH below normal.

In some countries, such as Argentina, there is a huge merchandising and marketing operations to increase consumption of bottled water (where the tap water here is of good quality). This determines a huge business of bottled water: 1L of bottled water called "mineral water" (which is the water that is not "mineral" ??), costs half of what you pay for a liter of wine !..

Many brands of bottled water are sodium concentration that are incompatible with health.

Then?

I prefer to take tap water in Argentina. And ... some wine!

Best,

JJ

Hi JJ

Thanks very much for info

Well, Chanzi. When you answer, you could be use also the arrows (green = good) or yellow ("I don´t like this answer") placed in the left corner, at the end of your reply. Tank you again! 

We keep in contact, Chanzi. 

Best,

JJ

The recommended guidelines for pH  are 6.5 to 8.5 by authorities including WHO for potability beyond the limit alkaline water may be help ful to persons suffering from acidity other wise it will hinder the function of gastric juices particularly in stomach and digestion of proteins will be affected.
