When it comes to alkaline water, there is no one definitive answer as to when you should or shouldn’t drink it. However, there are a few general guidelines that can help you make the decision about whether or not alkaline water is right for you.
First and foremost, if you have any medical conditions or take medication that could be adversely affected by changes in pH levels, it’s important to speak with your doctor before making the switch to alkaline water. Additionally, if you have stomach issues such as acid reflux, drinking alkaline water may exacerbate your symptoms.
In terms of when NOT to drink alkaline water, generally speaking it’s best to avoid drinking it:
-immediately after a meal (wait at least an hour)
-before bedtime (as it may interfere with sleep)
-if you’re dehydrated or very thirsty (as it can cause nausea)
-if you have kidney problems (as they are responsible for regulating pH levels in the body)
