Alkaline water is being chosen by many people because they believe that this type of water is good for the body, even helping to prevent dangerous diseases. So what is alkaline drinking water and is it good for health?

Alkaline water has a higher pH than regular drinking water. Because of this, some alkaline water advocates believe that it can neutralize acids in your body. Regular drinking water typically has a neutral pH of 7. Alkaline water typically has a pH of 8 or 9. However, pH alone is not enough to impart significant alkalinity to water.
