Black Alkaline Water For Weight Loss: Black alkaline water has become a popular beverage, and for many, a substitute of regular water. It has a higher pH than your regular water and is very rich with minerals. Also, it is hailed for its weight loss benefits. The term "black water" does not refer to contaminated or unclean water. It is used to describe alkaline water. Normal water has a pH of 7, which indicates that it is neutral. According to Harvard Health, black alkaline water has a higher pH value, usually ranging between 8 and 9.
It is believed that alkaline water boosts metabolism - which helps you in losing weight. As a part of a study in 2022, Chinese researchers asked 304 postmenopausal women about their lifestyle habits, including whether they drank alkaline water. It was then discovered that women who did were less likely to have a condition called metabolic syndrome, which includes risk factors such as high blood sugar and blood fats, elevated blood pressure, and belly fat. However, there was little difference in weight between women who drank alkaline water and those who didn’t.
Here are a few benefits of consuming alkaline water.
Enhances Nutrition Absorption
Fulvic minerals are rich in antioxidants in the water and are believed to enhance the absorption of nutrients, claims a 2019 study published in the Foods Journal. Fulvic acid can also help transport nutrients more efficiently into cells, potentially boosting overall nutrient uptake.
Improves Digestion
The presence of alkaline and fulvic minerals supports a healthy gut environment. This aids in digestion and keeps stomach problems at bay.
Increases Energy Levels
Better hydration and improved nutrient absorption can contribute to increased energy levels.
Promotes Bone Health
Alkaline water also helps in maintaining bone health. It balances pH levels in the body and it can also reduce calcium loss from bones.
Skin Benefits
The antioxidant and detoxifying properties of fulvic minerals is beneficial for your skin, claims a study published in the BMC Plant Biology journal.
Rich In Antioxidants
Fulvic acid, which is a key component in black alkaline water, is known for its antioxidant properties. These antioxidants help combat free radicals in the body, and reduce oxidative stress and may lower the risk of chronic diseases.
