High pH if possible lol. So weird how people focus on alkaline water. I promise, it doesn’t matter. I remember seeing an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow that she starts her day with alkaline water with some added…. Lemon juice 😂
Obviously a new face is gonna make the biggest difference
Agreed. Alkaline water ranges from absolutely useless to harmful if you somehow got the pH high enough. Your stomach acid would neutralize any alkaline properties of water instantly. If you want to actually reduce acidity levels in your stomach, calcium carbonate (Tums as a brand for instance) is much more effective.
Alkaline water works if u got acidity 😂 ! I add baking soda in water when i get acidity !
Meanwhile I'm old fashioned... if I'm on a health kick I'll eat a salad.

I wonder if I ill become superhuman if I switch my water to milk of magnesia
You will take superhuman shits!
Because it totally matters what biiig pH difference I throw into my internal acid pool
Your blood and other body fluids are supposed to have buffers that keep the PH in a very narrow range of acceptable values, so if you could influence your body PH with what you drink, it's time to go to the emergency room and get that severe metabolic disorder checked out immediately.
The only part of your body you could really influence the PH of is your stomach, and even then, assuming you don't have an acid disorder which could benefit from taking antacids, all you're doing is making your stomach work harder to restore its normal (very low) PH for no good reason.
