WATER, COOLER
Unless you’re the science-y type, you probably haven’t given the pH of your water much thought. But a wave of alkaline waters has us talking acidity. In theory, an acidic body is one in which disease thrives; so eating more alkaline foods like kale and fewer acidic ones like donuts can help us achieve optimal health. The pH scale runs from 1 (acid) to 14 (alkaline), so alkaline water is higher than the neutral value of 7. While our body has built-in systems (like our kidneys) to regulate our pH, some health experts say gulping mineral-rich water and skipping the chocolate
dip can help. It’s not a cure-all, but consider it H2O 2.0.
