A bottle of premium alkaline water can set you back two or three dollars. That’s the price of a decent fancy coffee or a bag of avocados. You could buy a water filter for your sink for the same cost as a week’s supply.
Here’s a laugh: I once saw a tiny bottle of Japanese alkaline water for eight dollars. Eight bucks for something that might make your pee a little less yellow. Your tap water, cheap and steady, is honestly just as good for hydration.
If you love the taste—some say alkaline water has a softer, smoother mouthfeel—go for it. But don’t let the marketing trick you into thinking it’s a medical necessity.
What about those “anti-aging” claims?
You’ll hear stories of celebrities who sip alkaline water to slow aging and fight disease. Here’s the warm, fuzzy truth: your body already fights free radicals with its own army of antioxidants and enzymes. No water can replace a good night’s sleep or a colorful plate of veggies.
Remember that study with rats? They drank alkaline water and lived longer. But rats are not humans, and the study was tiny. My neighbor’s cat lived to be 22 on tap water. That’s not science, but it makes you smile.
