The human body likes to be in a good acid to alkaline balance which is at about a pH of 7.4.
See the chart below to understand which beverages and foods are acidic and alkaline
Alkaline water has a pH of 8 or higher compared to tap water that is typically a 7 pH. Drinking alkaline water first things in the morning is said to help flush out toxins and alkalize the body. A few ways to get alkaline water are from a filter water pitcher which ionizes(adds minerals back into the water) and increases the pH, also filters out impurities and shrinks water molecules for better absorption and hydration. I personally use Invigorate pH Refresh Alkaline Water Pitcher, 84 oz. Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2MiuaAk
Flow water is great for on the go packaged in recyclable cartons so its better for the environment and also comes from a spring that has a pH of 8 naturally and since its from a spring has all the natural minerals. Buy at your local Home Goods or on Amazon:

It is also important to to not drink water out of plastic containers due to residual microscopic plastic that gets injected and instead drink preferably in glass or copper containers. Buy on Amazon:

The concept of an alkaline diet goes back decades with mixed opinions with some believing we cannot change the pH of our bodies with what we eat while other believe we can. Dr Sebi the famous herbalist and self proclaimed healer from Honduras promotes a vegan alkaline diet and believes that diseases can only exist in an acidic environment so eating alkaline diet can reduce the risk and the effects of all diseases.
Below is a link for a Dr. Sebi book on Alkaline Diet for Weight Loss and Detox Your Body with Basic Food Recipes, Herbs and Products to Reduce Risk of Disease. Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3o7coxT
My position is that an alkaline diet is a healthier way to eat whether it is scientifically proven to raise the pH in your body or not. Eating less processed foods, meats and more fruits and vegetables is never a bad thing and can improve long term health and that has been clinically proven.
