Water has a pH of about 7. That makes it neutral.
Anything below 7 is acidic. Anything above 7 is alkaline.
When you add an alkaline mineral like calcium to your water, you have ALKALINE water!
I highly recommend drinking alkaline water, simply because the vast majority of foods that people in America are acidic!
(And processed with nasty chemicals and who knows what else, but that's another story.)
See what I'm saying?
Balance
the acid with alkaline!
Your body is supposed to have a pH of about 7.3 – 7.5.
What happens when you go acid?
YOU GET SICK!
To be more
specific, your body becomes imbalanced and it is easier for you to
GET sick.
Your body produces mucus in excess to counteract the acidity. Mucus is BAD!
And stay away from soda! Seriously!
It has a pH level of 2!
I CAN'T drink soda nowadays because my body can't take the acid!
A good brand of alkaline water is Mountain Valley Spring Water. This water is ozonated as well, so you get the health benefits of ozone AND alkaline water. I personally drink it myself!
For those to inclined, you can invest in an alkaline water machine. Good places on the web include:
