Alkaline and Hydrogen Water Differences

On the difference between alkaline water and hydrogen water
There are many types of drinking water in the world, among which alkaline water and hydrogen water are quite popular. The two seem to be similar, but in fact the difference is significant.

Essential characteristics
Alkaline water is mainly characterized by its pH value higher than 7, and it is mostly alkaline due to the alkaline substances in the water, such as bicarbonate and carbonate. Its mild nature seems to have a certain effect on regulating the acid-base balance of the human body. Common in many brands of drinking water, it is specially treated to improve the alkalinity of water.

Hydrogen water is water rich in hydrogen gas. Hydrogen, a light and lively gas, is integrated into water to give water its unique chemical properties. This water has gradually emerged in recent years, due to its antioxidant potential, which can help the human body resist the damage of free radicals.

Differences in efficacy
The power of alkaline water is mostly called regulating the acid-base environment of the human body. Humans eat grains, or generate acidic metabolites in the body, and drink alkaline water in moderation, which may neutralize acidity and maintain the acid-base balance of the body, which is beneficial to health. However, this is still controversial. The acid-base balance of the human body has its own delicate physiological regulation mechanism, which cannot be easily controlled by drinking water alone.

Hydrogen water focuses on antioxidants. Free radicals, by-products of human metabolism, can damage cells, cause aging and various diseases. Hydrogen water contains hydrogen, which has strong antioxidant properties and can scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress damage. Studies have shown that it may have a certain prevention and improvement effect on cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, etc.

Preparation method
Alkaline water is prepared by various methods. Or add alkaline minerals to the water, such as calcium and magnesium carbonates; or electrolyze to ionize the water, enrich alkaline ions at the cathode, and obtain alkaline water.

Hydrogen water is often prepared by physical dissolution method, under specific conditions, hydrogen is mixed into water at high pressure; there are also chemical methods, which react with metals and acids to produce hydrogen, and then dissolve it in water. However, chemical methods or residual impurities require fine treatment.

Taste and Application
Alkaline water has a soft or slightly salty taste, which varies depending on the minerals it contains. It is mostly used for daily drinking, and some people think it is good for digestion and relieves excessive stomach acid.

Hydrogen water has a refreshing taste and little odor. In addition to daily drinking, it has gradually gained attention in the field of health care. Some medical institutions use it to assist in the treatment of certain diseases, but more clinical verification is needed.

In summary, alkaline water and hydrogen water each have their own characteristics, effects and applications. When people choose water to drink, they should choose carefully according to their own needs and health conditions in order to benefit from the nourishment of water.
