Cheapest, best alkaline water

[Guest guest]

I am a newbie and couldn't seem to find the info I wanted in the past

posts. So I am asking . . .

 

Suppose you want to drink alkaline water, but you're on a budget, so

you need the cheapest you can get. Say for instance, you have to use

tap water. And sometimes I buy distilled water if I can afford it.

 

Robert Young says to add baking soda (2 t. per liter) but this tastes

bad -- though I am getting used to it. I also add a tiny bit of

stevia. Are there any other cheap and better=tasting additives that

will make water alkaline??

 

For taste, I sometimes add lemon juice squeezed from a real lemon. Is

this increasing the acidity of my water? Should I add more baking

soda to counteract that. In fact, when I add more baking soda to

lemoned water, naturally the two react. So maybe no lemon??

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello butz57,

I wouldn't suggest baking soda at all! I say you're doing the right thing

with lemon, though. Try obtaining organic lemons and juice one whole lemon,

white stuff included, into a quart of purified water. (I used to drink

distilled, but I've found it more beneficial for several reasons to switch to

purified). Lemon contains minerals, which are alkalinizing. Lemon itself is

acidic, but what counts is our body's chemistry in reaction to ingesting the

lemon, which turns out to be alkalinizing.
