Alkaline Water makes Fruit Juices less Acidic

Alkaline Water makes Fruit Juices less Acidic & Why?

 

Are you one of those people who love fruit juice, but can’t drink it because of the acidity? If so, I got some

great news for you. Level 4 ionized alkaline water from a water ionizer can significantly reduce the acidity of fruit juices, so you can drink them again. Use level 4 alkaline water so you get the maximum possible alkalinity for buffering the acidity in your beverage. The great thing about adding alkaline water is that it alkalizes a beverage, but doesn’t change the taste. In fact, it makes some acidic fruit juices actually taste better.

Alkaline water gives citrus beverages an antioxidant boost

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, because of that, juices like lemon, lime and orange juice have antioxidant health benefits. But if you mix them with alkaline water, the antioxidant potential of the vitamin C in those beverages triples. So at the same time alkaline water is reducing the acidity of citrus juices, it is tripling their antioxidant potential!

Can I get this antioxidant benefit if I use bottled alkaline water? No. Bottled alkaline water doesn’t have antioxidant potential. To triple the antioxidant power of vitamin C, you must use antioxidant alkaline water. We use and recommend alkaline water at the level 4 setting on your water ionizer

Flavored alkaline water with antioxidant power

Flavoring your water with fruit juice is a great way to make your water taste even better to encourage you to drink more water. By making your citrus-flavored water with alkaline water, you get the healthy benefits of antioxidants along with better tasting water. It’s easy to do, just squeeze the juice from the fruit into your water, mix, and drink. To get the most antioxidant benefit from flavored alkaline water, drink it fresh. The antioxidant potential of any fruit juice, whether mixed with alkaline water or not, will decline over a 24 hour period.

Make sure to rinse your fruit with alkaline water before preparing

Alkaline water from a water ionizer can do something that regular water can’t: It detoxifies herbicide and pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables. You can even see it detoxify your fruit. Simply fill a bowl with Level 4 alkaline water soak your fruit or vegetables in it for about 20 minutes. In that time, the water will turn muddy brown. Then just rinse your produce and enjoy!
