I was curious so got with my buddy Grok:
Ah, alkaline water, the beverage choice for those who want to feel like they’re drinking the tears of Mother Nature herself! Essentially, it’s water with a higher pH level than regular tap water, usually around 8 or 9 on the pH scale, as opposed to the neutral 7.
Proponents claim it can neutralize acid in your bloodstream, slow the aging process, prevent chronic diseases, and maybe even teach your dog to code. But don’t quote me on that last one.
In reality, your stomach acid is like the Incredible Hulk of acids, and it turns that alkaline water back to regular water faster than you can say “Ionized.” But hey, if you like the taste or the idea of it, go for it. Just don’t expect it to turn you into an immortal wizard.
