Question

Given that the body maintains its pH so carefully, in order for enzymes to work optimally, is it likely that alkaline water can actually affect your physiology? Explain your logic

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Our body produces a lot of juices by different organs which are basically acidic in nature. So alkaline water intake is actually good for our heath as the pH becomes neutral with alkaline water intake. But too much intake of alkaline water is not good as well as we want a neutral pH in our body and not alkaline one.

The enzymes that work at a particular pH our physiology has different mechanisms to maintain that particular pH at certain organs such as pancreas is highly acidic as it is important to digest food. There are mechanisms present in our body to maintain that particular pH in digestive tract. But most of the enzymes works in a neutral pH which can be achieved by safe intake of alkaline water, of course not too much, for a healthy lifestyle.
