Alkaline water works to raise the body's PH levels, helping muscles maintain oxygen levels longer and use oxygen more efficiently during workouts, practices and games... allowing for a better physical activity environment for the body. Every breath you take, every time a muscle contracts, there are metabolic acids that are produced, such as lactic and pyruvic acid. The presence of these acids creates a burning sensation in the muscle, muscle fatigue and muscle weakness. This prevents further exertion of the muscle until recovery takes place. The more water that you have available in the tissues; the easier it is for these acids to be removed from the muscle tissue. This can hasten recovery time and lessen micro scar tissue and weakness from the metabolic acids. Higher alkalinity will reduce acidic residue even further and faster, with less possibility of injury.

 

The important thing to know is that just because an athlete is fit, does not mean he is healthy. In fact, many athletes suffer from chronic injury, inflammatory disorders, even early cancer. The high level of metabolic acids chronically present in muscle tissue could be a strong factor. By increasing alkalinity and reducing acidic byproducts, the body’s buffering systems can work more efficiently and effectively.
