Relieve Acid Reflux Symptoms
Acid reflux is a digestive issue that occurs when the acidic contents in the stomach splash back to the food pipe. If this condition keeps happening for an extended period, it would lead to GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Scientists have found out that drinking alkaline water can be a simple home remedy to this problem. Products with pH levels more than 8.5 can inhibit activities of an enzyme that is associated with acid reflux. More importantly, alkaline effects can reduce the acid levels in the stomach, thus relieving the symptoms. However, keep in mind that stomach acid is important for killing pathogens and bacteria. Make sure not to consume too much alkaline water to avoid some side effects on your digestive system. [10]
