the body will balance out, but the higher alkaline water you drink and the more of it the MORE alkaline your body will become. This is a FACT.
The body thrives at about 7-7.3 ph. Being in the 4-5 range is disease prone being above 7.5 is also not healthy. So be sure to test ph and if its low bring it up if its high bring it down.
