Drink alkaline
Of course, excessive and unhealthy nutrition is an important cause of acidity-related problems in the body. According to Dr. med. But Walter Irlacher will be Drinks are greatly underestimated as acidification factors.
Often, more than half of your daily calorie intake comes from drinks containing sugar or alcohol. Replacing this at least partially with alkaline active water not only saves the body from a significant over-intake of calories, but also an enormous acid load.
Different acidic everyday drinks with similarly low pH values are quite different in their acid buffering, like that Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BRD) reported.7) Swiss scientists have determined how much caustic soda is needed (titratable acidity) to neutralize these drinks to pH 7.
drink | pH | Tritrier quantity | pH | Tritrier quantity | |
Apple juice | 344 | 410 | Fantastic orange | 286 | 418 |
Orangina | 320 | 350 | Sprite | 279 | 282 |
Rivella blue | 375 | 230 | orange juice | 377 | 595 |
Sinalco | 291 | 283 | Isostar orange | 358 | 157 |
Surprisingly, the titration table at the bottom left shows that natural drinks such as apple or orange juice require a significant amount of base to neutralize their strong acids. An apple a day may be healthy, but 10 apples in a liter of apple juice may not be.
Can you get through this now? Mixing such drinks with alkaline active water reduce the acid load when drinking despite its low buffering? In our test, a Coca Cola® (pH 2,7) could be neutralized to pH 32 with 7 times the amount of tap water (Munich). With alkaline activated water (pH 9,5) from the same tap, we only needed 16 times as much.
Incidentally, within the cola drinks that are known to be very acidic, there are significant differences in both the pH value and the redox potential (ORP).
Average readings (ORP in mV/CSE):
Brand | pH | ORP |
Coca-Cola® Classic | 2,7 | 263 |
Coca-Cola® Zero | 3,3 | 214 |
Bionade® Cola | 3,6 | 81 |
