The human body requires slightly alkaline conditions to work well. Body fat is somewhat acidic, and it contributes to acidifying your body. By drinking alkaline water regularly, you can restore a healthy pH level, which decreases the acidity and helps burn fat through a series of neutralisation reactions.

Scientists in Shanghai found that 3 to 6 months after drinking alkaline water, people with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids had lower measures in each of these factors.

In 2019, researchers found that a high-pH electrolyte water reduced blood viscosity in 100 adults, after exercising. This may help reduce cardiovascular strain due to dehydration.
